Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the fields of tumor treatment and molecular immunology, and in particular to anti-CD73 / anti-PD-1 bispecific antibodies, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and uses thereof. [Background technology]

[0002] Ecto-5'-nucleotidase, i.e., CD73 protein, is a multifunctional glycoprotein encoded by the NT5E gene, has a molecular weight of 70 KD, and is anchored on the cell membrane by glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) (Zimmermann H., 5'-Nucleotidase: molecular structure and functional aspects., Biochem J., 1992; 285:345-365).

[0003] CD73 is widely distributed on the surface of human tissue cells, and studies have shown that it is highly expressed in various solid tumors, specifically in the tumor microenvironment, on cancer cells, dendritic cells, regulatory T cells (Tregs), natural killer cells (NK cells), myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), etc. CD73 expression is regulated by TGF-β, EGFR, AKT, β-catenin, and other molecules, most importantly HIF-1, which functions as a transcription factor. An important feature of the tumor microenvironment is hypoxia, which induces upregulation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) and other molecules, thereby resulting in widespread expression of CD73 in the tumor microenvironment (Synnestvedt K, et al., Ecto-5'-nucleotidase (CD73) regulation by hypoxia-inducible factor-1 mediates permeability changes in intestinal epithelia. J Clin Invest., 2002; 110:993-1002.). Analysis of clinical tumor samples shows that high expression of CD73 is a potential biomarker and is closely associated with poor prognosis in various types of tumors, including breast cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, kidney cancer, gastric cancer, head and neck cancer, etc.

[0004] CD73 has hydrolase and non-hydrolase activities. The enzymatic and non-enzymatic functions of CD73 act simultaneously in tumor-related processes and mutually promote and maintain tumor progression. More and more studies have found that CD73 is a key regulatory molecule in tumor cell proliferation, metastasis and invasion in vitro, and in tumor angiogenesis and tumor immune evasion mechanisms in vivo, and that an important mechanism of immune suppression is mediated by the CD73-adenosine metabolic signaling pathway. CD39, which is upstream of CD73, catalyzes ATP to generate adenosine monophosphate (AMP), which is converted to adenosine by CD73, and adenosine binds to the downstream adenosine receptor (A2AR). A2AR plays an immunosuppressive role by inhibiting a series of signaling pathways related to immune activation, such as LCK, MAPK, and PKC, and activating protein kinase A (PKA) and Csk kinase, thereby inhibiting the immune killing effect of T cells, allowing tumors to achieve immune evasion (Antonioli L, et al., Immunity, inflammation and cancer: a leading role for adenosine. Nat Rev Cancer., 2013; 13:842-857). Preclinical animal model studies have shown that CD73 expressed in immune and non-immune cells can promote immune evasion, development and metastasis of tumors, and the inhibition of cytotoxic T cell (CTL) and NK cell function by Treg cell-associated CD73-adenosine signaling is of utmost importance.

[0005] For the treatment of solid tumors, one of the important aspects to overcome drug resistance and improve therapeutic efficacy is to alleviate the inhibitory effect of the tumor microenvironment (TME) on immune effector cells. The TME is a very complex system composed of various cells, extracellular matrix, enzymes, cytokines, metabolic products, etc. The TME is characterized by extremely low hydrogen, low pH, and high pressure, and is significantly different from normal tissues. Hypoxia or ATP enrichment caused by chemoradiotherapy to kill tumor cells promotes the cascade reaction of CD39-CD73 adenosine signals, which is beneficial for the proliferation and function of various cancer-promoting cells, but not cancer-inhibiting cells (Regateiro, FS, Cobbold, SP & Waldmann, H., CD73 and adenosine generation in the creation of regulatory microenvironments. Clin. Exp. Immunol., 2013; 171:1-7).

[0006] The use of CD73-targeting antibodies or gene knockout of CD73 in animal models can effectively block tumor growth or metastasis, and recently, the use of CD73 monoclonal antibodies, small interfering RNA technology, specific inhibitor APCP, etc. has achieved remarkable therapeutic effects in antitumor treatment in animal experiments, providing a new avenue for antitumor treatment. Evidence from in vivo studies indicates that targeted blockade of CD73 can be an effective means of treatment for tumor patients.

[0007] The relationship between CD73 overexpression and tumor subtypes, prognosis and response of patients indicates that CD73 may be an important marker for future individual tumor treatment and detection. Therefore, research into CD73 targets is essential.

[0008] The transmembrane receptor PD-1 (programmed cell death protein 1) is a member of the CD28 family and is expressed on activated T cells, B cells, and myeloid cells. The receptors for PD-1, PDL-1 and PDL-2, are members of the B7 superfamily. PDL-1 is expressed on a variety of cells, including T cells, B cells, endothelial cells, and epithelial cells, whereas PDL-2 is expressed exclusively on antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells and macrophages.

[0009] PD-1 plays a very important role in downregulating T cell activation, and PD-1-mediated T cell downregulation is one of the important mechanisms of tumor immune escape. PDL-1 expressed on the surface of tumors can bind to PD-1 on the surface of immune cells, thereby inhibiting the killing of tumor tissues by immune cells through the PD-1 / PDL-1 signaling pathway, and tumors with high expression of PDL-1 are associated with cancers that are difficult to detect (Hamanishi et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 2007; 104:3360-5). An effective method of antagonizing PD-1 and thereby inhibiting the PD-1 / PDL-1 signaling pathway is the injection of anti-PDL-1 antibodies.

[0010] Due to the broad anti-tumor perspective and remarkable efficacy of PD-1 antibodies, it is widely accepted that antibodies targeting the PD-1 pathway offer breakthroughs in the treatment of various tumors: non-small cell lung cancer, renal cell carcinoma, ovarian cancer and melanoma (Homet MB, Parisi G., et al., Anti-PD-1 therapy in melanoma. Semin Oncol., 2015 Jun; 42(3):466-473), and hematological malignancies and anemias (Held SA, Heine A, et al., Advances in immunotherapy of chronic myeloid leukemia CML. Curr Cancer Drug Targets, 2013 Sep; 13(7):768-74).

[0011] Bifunctional antibodies, also known as bispecific antibodies, are specific antibody drugs that simultaneously target two different antigens, and can be produced by immunoselection and purification, or obtained by genetic engineering. Genetic engineering has flexibility in aspects such as optimization of binding sites, synthetic forms, and yield, and therefore has certain advantages. Currently, more than 45 types of bispecific antibody forms have been demonstrated (Muller D, Kontermann RE. Bispecific antibodies for cancer immunotherapy: current perspectives. BioDrugs 2010; 24:89-98). The IgG-ScFv format, or Morrison format (Coloma MJ, Morrison SL. Design and production of novel tetravalent bispecific antibodies. Nat Biotechnol. Nature Biotechnology, 1997; 15:159-163), has been demonstrated to be an ideal format for bifunctional antibodies due to its similarity to the naturally occurring IgG format and due to advantages in antibody engineering, expression, and production (Miller BR, Demarest SJ, et al., Stability engineering of scFvs for the development of bispecific and multivalent antibodies. Protein Eng Des Sel 2010; 23:549-57; Fitzgerald J, Lugovskoy A. Rational engineering of antibody therapeutics targeting multiple oncogene pathways. MAbs 2011; 3:299-309).

[0012] ADCC (Antibody-Dependent Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity) refers to the killing of target cells by killer cells mediated by the binding of the Fab fragment of an antibody to an epitope on a virus-infected cell or tumor cell, and the binding of the Fc fragment of the antibody to the Fc receptor (FcR) on the surface of the killer cell (NK cell, macrophage, etc.).

[0013] CDC (complement-dependent cytotoxicity) refers to the lytic action against target cells by the membrane attack complex formed by an antibody binding to a corresponding antigen on the cell membrane surface, followed by binding to the complement C1q and activation of C2 to C9.

[0014] The IgG family includes four members, IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4, which differ in amino acids in the fragment crystallizable (Fc) region of the heavy chain constant region, resulting in different affinities for FcγR. Wild-type IgG1 can bind to various FcγRs and induce ADCC and CDC. Zhang et al. reported that Fc-dependent effector function-induced immune cell damage, including antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, may be an important mechanism leading to immune cell damage, so that the binding of Fc fragments of antibodies targeting immune checkpoints such as PD-1 to Fc receptors negatively affects antibody-mediated anti-cancer activity (Zhang T et al, Cancer Immunol Immunother., 2018; 67(7):1079-1090.) and Dahan et al. (Dahan R et al., Cancer cell, 2015, 28(3):285-95.).

[0015] Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is a chemotactic cytokine, mainly secreted by monocytes. IL-8 plays an important role in promoting the proliferation of normal and tumor cells, especially tumor initiation and progression. Several studies have shown that IL-8 can promote tumor initiation, and tumor cells themselves can secrete IL-8 to promote tumor growth and metastasis (Lo MC et al., Cancer letters, 2013, 335(1):81-92). Therefore, IL-8 has become an essential and important inflammatory factor in the tumor microenvironment.

[0016] As a pro-inflammatory factor, IL-8 is closely related to tumor development and progression. During methylarsonate-induced malignant transformation of non-renal cancer cells, the expression of IL-8 gene is increased. Gene silencing of IL-8 can significantly inhibit the growth of transplanted tumors in mice, and furthermore, the reduction of IL-8 level can suppress the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9, cyclin D1, proapoptotic protein Bcl-2 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) which are related to tumor growth and metastasis (Escudero-Lourdes C et al., Toxicology and applied pharmacology, 2012, 258(1):10-18). Inoue et al. found that IL-8 could induce malignant transformation of a non-tumor bladder cell line (233JP) and increase its aggressiveness, while the incidence of malignant transformation of 233JP cells was significantly reduced in IL-8 knockout mice (Inoue K et al., Cancer Res, 2000, 60(8):2290-2299). Furthermore, in prostate cancer, IL-8 can promote the development of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) in patients (Chen K et al., Cancer research, 2015, 75(10):1992-2004) and is associated with drug resistance to tumor treatment (Araki S et al., Cancer Res, 2007, 67(14):6854-6862); gene silencing of IL-8 or its receptor can induce cell cycle arrest in tumor cells and inhibit tumor growth (Singh RK, Lokeshwar BL., Molecul Cancer, 2009, 8:57). The above studies indicate that the level of IL-8 is closely related to tumor development and progression. Further studies (Mian BM et al. Clin Cancer Res, 2003, 9(8):3167-3175) indicate that IL-8 may be a new target for tumor treatment. In a bladder cancer tumor model, the use of anti-IL-8 antibodies can significantly suppress tumor growth.

[0017] IL-6 is rapidly produced by macrophages, mainly in response to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) or damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), and plays a protective role by eliminating infectious agents and inducing acute phase and immune responses to heal damaged tissues. Although IL-6 plays an important role in resistance and repair to infection and tissue damage, high levels of IL-6 can activate the coagulation pathway and vascular endothelial cells, thereby inhibiting myocardial function, and even cause a "cytokine storm" resulting in severe acute systemic inflammatory responses. Cytokine storm is a fatal complication and side effect in viral infections, tumor immunotherapy, etc.

[0018] Immune-related side effects are common and dangerous side effects in antitumor treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) (Spain L et al., Cancer Treat Rev., 2016; 44:51-60). In recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors have achieved great success in tumor immunotherapy, but they also bring about an entirely new toxicity profile due to off-target effects, among which severe immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in major organs (including the heart, lungs and brain) are particularly life-threatening (Bergqvist V, et al., Cancer Immunol Immunother., 2017; 66(5):581-592; Gomatou G et al., Respiration., 2020; 1:1-11; Joshi MN et al., Clin Endocrinol (Oxf)., 2016; 85(3):331-9; Prieux-Klotz C et al., Target Oncol., 2017; 12(3):301-308; Tajiri K et al., Jpn J Clin Oncol., 2018; 48(1):7-12). Existing data indicate that ICIs can induce off-target effects through four mechanisms, including direct binding to immune checkpoint molecules expressed on the surface of normal cells and activating complement hypersensitivity; the presence of homologous antigens / epitopes in normal tissues and tumor cells; producing autoantibodies; and increasing the levels of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 (Martins F et al., The Lancet Oncology, 20(1), e54-e64).

[0019] Currently, anti-IL-6 therapies such as tocilizumab, a recombinant humanized anti-IL-6R monoclonal antibody, are used to treat severe irAEs in the acute phase, severe / refractory arthritis, large vessel vasculitis, uveitis, myocarditis, pneumonia, and myasthenia gravis (Martins F et al., The Lancet Oncology, 20(1), e54-e64).

[0020] Binding of wild-type IgG1 or IgG4 antibodies to FcγRIa on macrophages can induce secretion of IL-8 and IL-6 by macrophages (Kinder M et al., mAbs., 2015), while induction of mutations in the Fc segment of antibodies and abolishing binding to FcγRIA can effectively inhibit IL-8 secretion, thereby improving the safety and efficacy of the antibodies. Summary of the Invention

[0021] The inventors used a mammalian cell expression system to express recombinant human CD73 and PD-1 as antigens for immunizing mice, and obtained hybridoma cells by fusing mouse spleen cells with myeloma cells. The inventors identified the following hybridoma cell lines by screening multiple samples: Hybridoma cell line LT014 (also called CD73-19F3): deposited at the China Culture Collection Center (CCTCC) on June 19, 2018 with accession number CTCCNO: C2018137; and Hybridoma cell line LT003 (also called PD-1-14C12): Deposited at the China Culture Collection Center (CCTCC) on June 16, 2015 with accession number CTCCNO: C2015105 Got

[0022] Surprisingly, the inventors discovered that: The hybridoma cell line LT014 can secrete a specific monoclonal antibody (named 19F3) that specifically binds to human CD73, and the monoclonal antibody can effectively inhibit the enzyme activity reaction of CD73 in a non-substrate competitive mode, reduce the production of adenosine, and promote the activity of T cells and the tumor-inhibiting effect; and The hybridoma cell line LT003 may secrete a specific monoclonal antibody (designated 14C12) that specifically binds to PD-1, and the monoclonal antibody can effectively block the binding of PD-1 to PDL-1.

[0023] Furthermore, the inventors have creatively prepared humanized anti-CD73 antibodies (designated as 19F3H2L2, 19F3H2L3, 19F3H2L3(hG1M) and 19F3H2L3(hG1TM) respectively) and humanized anti-PD-1 antibodies (designated as 14C12H1L1 and 14C12H1L1(hG1TM)).

[0024] Furthermore, the inventors creatively fused two kinds of humanized antibodies into a new antibody through protein recombination, and obtained a humanized bifunctional antibody (named P1D7V01, P1D7V03, NTPDV1, NTPDV2, NTPDV3 and NTPDV4, respectively (also referred to as NTPDV1(hG1TM), NTPDV2(hG1TM), NTPDV3(hG1TM) and NTPDV4(hG1TM) in this specification and in China Patent Application No. 202110270671.X)) that can bind to CD73 and PD-1, inhibit the activity of CD73, and block the binding of PD-1 to PDL-1, and has the potential to be used in the preparation of medicines for preventing and treating solid tumors and hematological tumors.

[0071] Yet another aspect of the present invention relates to the hybridoma cell line LT003, deposited at the China Culture Collection Center (CCTCC) with collection number CCTCCNO:C2015105.

[0072] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, scientific and technical terms used herein have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art. In addition, the laboratory procedures of cell culture, molecular genetics, nucleic acid chemistry and immunology used herein are routine procedures widely used in the corresponding fields. In addition, in order to better understand the present invention, the definitions and explanations of related terms are provided below.

[0073] As used herein, the term "EC 50 " refers to the concentration of 50% of the maximal effect, i.e. the concentration capable of producing 50% of the maximal effect.

[0074] As used herein, the term "antibody" refers to an immunoglobulin molecule that generally consists of two pairs of polypeptide chains, each pair having one "light" (L) chain and one "heavy" (H) chain. Antibody light chains are classified as kappa and lambda light chains. Heavy chains are classified as mu, delta, gamma, alpha, or epsilon. Antibody isotypes are defined as IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA, and IgE. In the light and heavy chains, the variable and constant regions are joined by a "J" region of about 12 or more amino acids, and the heavy chains further include a "D" region of about 3 or more amino acids. Each heavy chain consists of a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a heavy chain constant region (CH). The heavy chain constant region consists of three domains (CH1, CH2, and CH3). Each light chain consists of a light chain variable region (VL) and a light chain constant region (CL). The light chain constant region consists of one domain CL. The constant region of an antibody can mediate the binding of the immunoglobulin to host tissues or factors, including the binding of various cells of the immune system (e.g., effector cells) to the first component (C1q) of the classical complement system. The VH and VL regions can be further subdivided into highly variable regions (called complementarity determining regions (CDRs)) between which conserved regions called framework regions (FRs) are distributed. VH and VL each consist of three CDRs and four FRs, arranged from the amino terminus to the carboxyl terminus in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, and FR4. The variable regions of each heavy / light chain pair (VH and VL) form the antibody binding site.The assignment of amino acids to regions or domains is based on Bethesda Md, Kabat Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest (National Institutes of Health, (1987 and 1991)), or Chothia & Lesk J. Mol. Biol., 1987; 196:901-917; Chothia et al., Nature, 1989; 342:878-883, or the definition of the IMGT numbering system: the definition in Ehrenmann F, Kaas Q, Lefranc M P., IMGT / 3Dstructure-DB and IMGT / DomainGapAlign: a database and a tool for immunoglobulins or antibodies, T cell receptors, MHC, IgSF and MhcSF[J]., Nucleic acids research, 2009; 38(suppl_1): D301-D307.

[0075] In particular, the heavy chain may comprise three or more CDRs, such as 6, 9 or 12. For example, in the bispecific antibodies disclosed herein, the heavy chain may be the heavy chain of an IgG antibody linked at its C-terminus to one ScFv, in which case the heavy chain comprises nine CDRs.

[0076] The term "antibody" is not limited by any particular method for producing the antibody. For example, the antibody includes recombinant antibodies, monoclonal antibodies, and polyclonal antibodies. The antibody may be of various isotypes, such as IgG (e.g., subtypes IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4), IgA1, IgA2, IgD, IgE, or IgM.

[0077] As used herein, the terms "mAb" and "monoclonal antibody" refer to an antibody or antibody fragment that is derived from a group of highly homologous antibodies, i.e., from a group of identical antibody molecules, except for natural mutations that may occur naturally. Monoclonal antibodies are highly specific to a single epitope on an antigen. Polyclonal antibodies, in comparison to monoclonal antibodies, generally contain at least two or more different antibodies that usually recognize different epitopes on an antigen. Monoclonal antibodies can generally be obtained using hybridoma technology, first reported by Kohler et al. (Kohler G, Milstein C. Continuous cultures of fused cells secreting antibody of predefined specificity [J]. Nature, 1975; 256(5517): 495), but can also be obtained using recombinant DNA technology (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567).

[0078] As used herein, the term "humanized antibody" refers to an antibody or antibody fragment obtained when all or part of the CDR regions of a human immunoglobulin (receptor antibody) are replaced by the CDR regions of a non-human antibody (donor antibody), where the donor antibody may be a non-human (e.g. mouse, rat or rabbit) antibody with the desired specificity, affinity or reactivity. Furthermore, some amino acid residues in the framework regions (FR) of the receptor antibody can also be replaced by the corresponding amino acid residues of the non-human antibody or by amino acid residues of other antibodies to further improve or optimize the performance of the antibody. For further details on humanized antibodies, see, e.g., Jones et al., Nature, 1986; 321:522 525; Reichmann et al., Nature, 1988; 332:323 329; Presta, Curr. Op. Struct. Biol., 1992; 2:593-596; and Clark, Immunol. Today, 2000; 21: 397-402. In some cases, the antigen-binding fragment of an antibody may be a V H Domain and V L Bispecific antibodies are diabodies in which the domains are expressed on a single polypeptide chain. However, the linker used is too short to pair the two domains on the same chain. This forces the domains to pair with complementary domains on the other chain, and creates two antigen-binding sites (see, for example, Holliger P. et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1993; 90:6444-6448 and Poljak RJ et al., Structure, 1994; 2:1121-1123).

[0079] As used herein, the term "single chain variable region fragment (ScFv)" refers to an antibody heavy chain variable region (V H ) and the antibody light chain variable region (V L) linked by a linker. The VL and VH domains pair to form a monovalent molecule with the linker allowing them to generate a single peptide chain (see Bird et al, Science, 1988; 242:423-426 and Huston et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1988; 85:5879-5883). Such scFv molecules have the general structure: NH2-V L -Linker-V H -COOH or NH2-V H -Linker-V L It may have -COOH. A suitable linker in the prior art consists of a repeated GGGGS amino acid sequence or a variant thereof. For example, a linker having the amino acid sequence (GGGGS)4 may be used, but a variant thereof may also be used (Holliger et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1993; 90: 6444-6448). Other linkers that can be used in the present invention are described by Alfthan et al., Protein Eng., 1995; 8:725-731, Choi et al., Eur. J. Immunol., 2001; 31: 94-106, Hu et al., Cancer Res., 1996; 56:3055-3061, Kipriyanov et al., J. Mol. Biol., 1999; 293:41-56 and Roovers et al., Cancer Immunology, Immunotherapy, 2001, 50(1): 51-59.

[0080] As used herein, the term "isolated" means obtained from the natural state by artificial means. When a particular "isolated" substance or component occurs in nature, it may be that its natural environment is altered or that it is isolated from the natural environment, or both. For example, a particular non-isolated polynucleotide or polypeptide naturally occurs in a particular living animal, and the same polynucleotide or polypeptide of high purity isolated from such a natural state is referred to as an isolated polynucleotide or polypeptide. The term "isolated" does not exclude the presence of artificial or synthetic substances, or other impurities that do not affect the activity of the substance.

[0081] As used herein, the term "vector" refers to a nucleic acid vehicle into which a polynucleotide can be inserted. If the vector allows for the expression of a protein encoded by the inserted polynucleotide, the vector is called an expression vector. The vector can be introduced into a host cell by transformation, transduction or transfection so that the genetic material elements carried by the vector can be expressed in the host cell. Vectors are well known to those skilled in the art and include, but are not limited to, plasmids; phagemids; cosmids; artificial chromosomes, such as yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs), bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs), or P1-derived artificial chromosomes (PACs); phages, such as lambda phage or M13 phage; and animal viruses. Animal viruses that can be used as vectors include, but are not limited to, retroviruses (including lentiviruses), adenoviruses, adeno-associated viruses, herpes viruses (such as herpes simplex viruses), poxviruses, baculoviruses, papilloma viruses, papova viruses (such as SV40). The vector may contain various elements that control expression, including, but not limited to, promoter sequences, transcription initiation sequences, enhancer sequences, selection elements, and reporter genes. Additionally, the vector may further contain a replication origin.

[0082] As used herein, the term "host cell" refers to a cell into which a vector can be introduced, including, but not limited to, prokaryotic cells such as E. coli or Bacillus subtilis, fungal cells such as yeast cells or Aspergillus, insect cells such as S2 Drosophila cells or Sf9, or animal cells such as fibroblast cells, CHO cells, GS cells, COS cells, NSO cells, HeLa cells, BHK cells, HEK293 cells, or human cells.

[0083] As used herein, the term "specific binding" refers to a non-random binding reaction between two molecules, such as the reaction between an antibody and an antigen that it targets. In some embodiments, an antibody that specifically binds to an antigen (or an antibody specific for an antigen) is one that binds to an antigen within about 10 -6 Less than M, 10 -7 M, 10 -8 M, 10 -9 M or 10 -10 M or less, about 10 -5 Affinity (K D ) means that the antibody binds to the antigen.

[0084] As used herein, the term "K D " refers to the dissociation equilibrium constant for a specific antibody-antigen interaction, which is used to describe the binding affinity between an antibody and an antigen. A smaller dissociation equilibrium constant indicates stronger antibody-antigen binding and a higher affinity between the antibody and the antigen. Typically, antibodies have a dissociation equilibrium constant of about 10 -6 M, 10 -7 M, 10 -8 M, 10 -9 M or 10 -10 M or less, etc., about 10 -5 The dissociation equilibrium constant (K D ) to bind to an antigen (e.g., PD-1 protein). D can be determined by methods known to those skilled in the art, for example, using the Fortebio system.

[0085] As used herein, the terms "monoclonal antibody" and "mAb" have the same meaning and can be used interchangeably; the terms "polyclonal antibody" and "pAb" have the same meaning and can be used interchangeably. Furthermore, herein, amino acids are generally referred to by their one-letter and three-letter abbreviations known in the art, e.g., alanine can be referred to by A or Ala.

[0086] As used herein, the term "pharmacologically acceptable carriers and / or excipients" refers to carriers and / or excipients that are pharmacologically and / or physiologically compatible with the subject and the active ingredient. Such carriers and / or excipients are well known in the art (Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, edited by Gennaro AR, 1999). th Ed., Pennsylvania: Mack Publishing Company, 1995), pH adjusters, surfactants, adjuvants, and ionic strength enhancers, for example, pH adjusters include, but are not limited to, phosphate buffers; surfactants include, but are not limited to, cationic surfactants, anionic surfactants, and non-ionic surfactants, such as Tween-80; and ionic strength enhancers include, but are not limited to, sodium chloride.

[0087] As used herein, the term "effective amount" refers to an amount sufficient to obtain a desired effect or at least partially obtain a desired effect. For example, a prophylactically effective amount for a disease (e.g., tumor) refers to an amount sufficient to prevent, stop or delay the onset of the disease (e.g., tumor); a therapeutically effective amount refers to an amount sufficient to cure or at least partially stop the disease and its complications in a patient suffering from the disease. It is certainly within the capabilities of a person skilled in the art to determine such an effective amount. For example, an effective amount for therapeutic purposes depends on the severity of the disease to be treated, the overall state of the patient's own immune system, the general condition of the patient, such as age, weight and sex, the route of administration, and other treatments used in combination, etc. Beneficial effects

[0088] The monoclonal antibody of the present invention (e.g., 13F9H2L3) can sufficiently and specifically bind to CD73, and can effectively inhibit the enzymatic activity reaction of CD73 in a non-substrate competitive mode, thereby reducing the production of adenosine and promoting the activity of T cells and tumor-inhibiting effect.

[0089] The bispecific antibodies disclosed herein, such as NTPDV1, NTPDV2, NTPDV3 and NTPDV4, can sufficiently and specifically bind to PD-1 and CD73, effectively block the binding of PD-1 to PDL-1, specifically relieve the immune suppression of PD-1 in the organism, inhibit the catalytic activity of CD73, relieve the inhibition of immune cells by adenosine, activate T lymphocytes, and do not cause the release of cytokines IL-8 and IL-6, effectively improving safety and efficacy.

[0090] The bifunctional antibodies disclosed herein have the potential to be used in the preparation of anti-tumor drugs. [Brief description of the drawings]

Binding activity of P1D7V01, P1D7V02R, P1D7V03 and P1D7V04R to the antigen PD-1-mFc measured by ELISA. The specific measurement method is as follows: The microplate was coated with 0.5 μg / mL PD-1-mFc and incubated overnight at 4°C. The antigen-coated microplate was then washed once with PBST and then blocked with PBS solution containing 1% BSA as blocking solution at 37°C for 2 hours. After blocking, the microplate was washed three times with PBST. Antibodies serially diluted in PBST solution (antibody dilution gradient is shown in Table 2) were added. The microplate containing the test antibodies was incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes and then washed three times with PBST.

[0131] The affinity constants of humanized antibodies P1D7V01, 14C12H1L1 and nivolumab (as a control antibody) for human PD-1-mFc are shown in Table 5, and the detection results are shown in Figures 4, 5 and 6. The affinity constants of humanized antibodies P1D7V01, 14C12H1L1 and nivolumab for human PD-1-mFc were 1.76E-10M, 1.64E-10M and 2.32E-10M, respectively. The above experimental results suggested that the binding ability of P1D7V01 was equivalent to that of 14C12H1L1 and nivolumab, and that humanized antibody P1D7V01 had a stronger binding ability to human PD-1-mFc.

[0132] Kinetic parameters of binding of anti-CD73 / anti-PD-1 bispecific antibody to antigen human NT5E(1-552)his measured by the Fortebio system The dilution buffer for the samples was PBST, pH 7.4. Antibodies were immobilized on the protein A sensor at a concentration of 5 μg / mL with an immobilization time of approximately 15 seconds. The sensor was equilibrated in the buffer for 120 seconds and the binding of the antibodies immobilized on the sensor to the antigen human NT5E(1-552)-his at concentrations of 3.125-200 nM (two-fold dilution) was measured for 120 seconds. The protein was dissociated in the buffer for 600 seconds. The sensor was refreshed with a 10 mM Gly solution at pH 1.5. The detection temperature was 37 °C, the detection frequency was 0.6 Hz, and the vibration speed of the sample plate was 1000 rpm. The data was analyzed by 1:1 model fitting to obtain the affinity constants.

[0133] The affinity constants of the humanized antibodies P1D7V01 and MEDI9447 (control antibody) for human NT5E(1-552)-his are shown in Table 6, and the detection results are shown in Figures 7 and 8. The affinity constants of the humanized antibodies P1D7V01 and MEDI9447 for human NT5E(1-552)-his are 2.29E-10M and 1.04E-10M, respectively.

[0134] The above experimental results suggested that the binding ability of P1D7V01 was equivalent to that of MEDI9447, and that the humanized antibody P1D7V01 had stronger binding ability to human NT5E(1-552)-his. [Table 6] Example 12

[0135] Binding activity of anti-CD73 / anti-PD-1 bispecific antibodies measured by FACS 1. Binding activity of anti-CD73 / anti-PD-1 bispecific antibody to PD-1 on the surface of 293T-PD1 membrane measured by FACS Harvest 293T-PD1 cells in logarithmic growth phase and place them in 1.5 mL centrifuge tubes at 3 x 10 cells per tube. 5 The cells were transferred. 500 μL of PBSA was added, the mixture was centrifuged at 5600 rpm for 5 minutes, and the supernatant was removed. 100 μL of antibodies diluted in PBSA (final concentrations of 100 nM, 33.33 nM, 11.11 nM, 3.7 nM, 1.23 nM, 0.41 nM, 0.14 nM, and 0.05 nM) were added, respectively. The system was mixed gently to homogeneity, and then incubated on ice for 1 hour. After that, 500 μL of PBSA was added, the mixture was centrifuged at 5600 rpm for 5 minutes, and the supernatant was removed. FITC-labeled goat anti-human IgG secondary antibody (Jackson, Cat. No. 109-095-098) diluted 1:500 was added, resuspended, mixed well and incubated on ice in the dark for 0.5 h. 500 μL of PBSA was added and the mixture was centrifuged at 5600 rpm for 5 min and the supernatant was removed. Finally, 200 μL of PBSA was added to resuspend the cell pellet and the mixture was transferred to a flow tube for FACSCalibur detection.

[0136] The experimental results are shown in Table 7 and Figure 9. P1D7V01, P1D7V02R, P1D7V03 and P1D7V04R can specifically bind to PD-1 on the 293T-PD1 membrane surface in a dose-dependent manner, and compared with the PD1 single-targeting control antibody 14C12H1L1, the binding is stronger than that of 14C12H1L1.

[0137] EC of P1D7V01, P1D7V02R, P1D7V03, and P1D7V04R binding to 293T-PD1 under the same experimental conditions 50 The EC values ​​for 14C12H1L1 binding to 293T-PD1 were 1.000 nM, 1.075 nM, 1.377 nM, and 1.57 nM, respectively. 50 The value was 2.111nM.

[0138] The above experimental results indicated that under the same experimental conditions, P1D7V01, P1D7V02R, P1D7V03, P1D7V04R and 293T-PD1 all had better binding activity than the PD1 single-targeting control antibody 14C12H1L1, suggesting that P1D7V01, P1D7V02R, P1D7V03 and P1D7V04R have effective binding activity to PD-1 on the membrane surface of 293T-PD1. [Table 7]

[0139] 2. Binding activity of anti-CD73 / anti-PD-1 bispecific antibody to CD73 on the MDA-MB-231 membrane surface measured by FACS Digest MDA-MB-231 cells in log phase with regular trypsin and place in 1.5 mL centrifuge tubes at 3 x 10 cells per tube. 5The mixture was transferred to the wells at 4°C for 10 min. 500 μL of PBSA was added, the mixture was centrifuged at 5600 rpm for 5 min, and the supernatant was removed. 100 μL of antibody diluted in PBSA (final concentrations of 100 nM, 33.33 nM, 11.11 nM, 3.7 nM, 1.23 nM, 0.41 nM, 0.14 nM, 0.05 nM) was added. The system was gently mixed homogeneously and incubated on ice for 1 h. Then, 500 μL of PBSA was added, centrifuged at 5600 rpm for 5 min, and the supernatant was removed. A 500-fold diluted FITC-labeled goat anti-human IgG secondary antibody (Jackson, Cat. No. 109-095-098) was added, resuspended, mixed well, and the mixture was incubated in the dark on ice for 0.5 h. 500 μL of PBSA was added, centrifuged at 5600 rpm for 5 min, and the supernatant was removed. Finally, 200 μL of PBSA was added to resuspend the cell pellet, and the mixture was transferred to a flow tube for FACSCalibur detection.

[0140] The experimental results are shown in Table 8 and Figure 10. The binding activity of P1D7V01 and P1D7V03 to CD73 on the MDA-MB-231 membrane surface was superior to that of 19F3H2L3, where P1D7V01 was superior to the control drug MEDI9447 on the same target. Under the same experimental conditions, the EC of P1D7V01 and P1D7V03 binding to CD73 on the MDA-MB-231 membrane surface was 50 The EC values ​​for MEDI9447 and 19F3H2L3 binding to CD73 on the MDA-MB-231 membrane surface were 1.384 nM and 2.009 nM, respectively. 50 The values ​​were 1.589 nM and 2.773 nM, respectively.

[0141] The above experimental results showed that P1D7V01, P1D7V03, 19F3H2L3 and control drug MEDI9447 against the same target can specifically bind to CD73 on the MDA-MB-231 membrane surface in a dose-dependent manner. The binding activity of P1D7V01 and P1D7V03 is superior to that of 19F3H2L3, where P1D7V01 is superior to the control drug MEDI9447 against the same target. It was suggested that P1D7V01 and P1D7V03 have the activity of effectively binding to CD73 on the MDA-MB-231 membrane surface. [Table 8] Example 13

[0142] Detection of inhibition of the enzymatic activity of CD73 on the cell membrane surface by anti-CD73 / anti-PD-1 bispecific antibody 1. Detection of inhibition of the enzymatic activity of CD73 on the surface of MDA-MB-231 membrane by anti-CD73 / anti-PD-1 bispecific antibody The experimental procedure is as follows: MDA-MB-231 cells in logarithmic phase were well-dissolved, resuspended in serum-free RPMI-1640 medium, and then counted. MDA-MB-231 cells were plated at 2 × 10 per well. 4 Cells / 100μL were seeded into a 96-well plate. Antibodies were diluted in serum-free RPMI-1640 medium (serial 2.5-fold dilutions). Antibodies were added to the 96-well plate at 50μL per well, and the plate was incubated at 37°C for 1 hour. After 1 hour, 50μL of AMP (TCL, Cat. No. A0157) diluted in RPMI-1640 at 1200μM was added to each well. After 3 hours, 25μL of cell culture supernatant was removed and transferred to a new 96-well plate, and 25μL of 100μM ATP (TCL, Cat. No. A0158) was added to each well. 50μL of CTG (CellTiterGlo, Promega, Cat. No. G8641) color development solution was added to each well to develop the color, and the relative fluorescence intensity (RLU) was read using a multilabel microplate tester (PerkinElmer 2140-0020).

[0143] The experimental results are shown in Figure 11. The AMP amounts of P1D7V01, P1D7V02R, P1D7V03 and P1D7V04R are equivalent to the AMP amount of the positive control MEDI9447 in a concentration-dependent manner.

[0144] The above experimental results show that the added AMP can be converted to adenosine A through the enzymatic activity of CD73 on the surface of MDA-MB-231 cells without antibodies, and after the addition of antibodies, due to the binding affinity of antibodies P1D7V01, P1D7V02R, P1D7V03 and P1D7V04R to CD73, the enzymatic catalytic activity is reduced, so that AMP cannot be converted to adenosine A. It is suggested that the antibodies effectively inhibit the enzymatic activity reaction in a non-substrate competitive mode, reducing the production of adenosine.

[0145] 2. Detection of inhibition of the enzymatic activity of CD73 on the surface of U87-MG membrane by anti-CD73 / anti-PD-1 bispecific antibody U87-MG cells in good logarithmic phase were removed, resuspended in serum-free RPMI-1640 medium, and then counted. U87-MG cells were cultured at 2 × 10 per well. 4 Cells / 100μL were seeded into a 96-well plate. Antibodies were diluted in serum-free RPMI-1640 medium (serial 2.5-fold dilutions). Antibodies were added to the 96-well plate at 50μL per well, and the plate was incubated at 37°C for 1 hour. After 1 hour, 50μL of AMP diluted in RPMI-1640 at 1200μM was added to each well. After 3 hours, 25μL of cell culture supernatant was removed and transferred to a new 96-well plate, and 25μL of ATP at 100μM was added to each well. 50μL of CTG (CellTiterGlo) color development solution was added to each well to develop the color, and the relative fluorescence intensity (RLU) was read using a multi-label microplate tester (PerkinElmer 2140-0020).

[0146] The experimental results are shown in Figure 12. The AMP amounts of P1D7V01, P1D7V02R, P1D7V03 and P1D7V04R are equivalent to the AMP amount of the positive control MEDI9447 in a concentration-dependent manner.

[0147] The above experimental results indicate that the added AMP can be converted to adenosine A through the enzymatic activity of CD73 on the surface of U87-MG cells without antibodies, and after the antibodies are added, the antibodies P1D7V01, P1D7V02R, P1D7V03 and P1D7V04R bind to CD73, reducing the enzyme catalytic function, so that AMP cannot be converted to adenosine A. It is suggested that the antibodies effectively inhibit the enzymatic activity reaction in a non-substrate competitive mode, reducing the production of adenosine. Example 14

[0148] Biological activity of anti-CD73 / anti-PD-1 bispecific antibodies to promote IFN-γ and IL-2 secretion measured by mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) 1. Biological activity of anti-CD73 / anti-PD-1 bispecific antibody for promoting IFN-γ secretion in Raji-PDL-1 mixed lymphocyte reaction system Raji-PDL-1 cells were passaged as usual. PBMCs were thawed, incubated in 10 mL of 1640 complete medium, and stimulated with 0.5 μg / mL SEB (Dianotech, Cat. No. S010201) for 2 days. Raji-PDL-1 cells were treated with 25 μg / mL MMC (Sigma, Cat. No. M4287) and placed in a 37°C incubator for 1 hour. PBMCs (peripheral blood mononuclear cells) stimulated with SEB for 2 days and Raji-PDL-1 cells treated with MMC for 1 hour were harvested, washed twice with PBS, resuspended in complete medium, and counted. Cells were added separately in U-shaped 96-well plates at 100,000 cells per well. Antibodies were added according to the study design and cultured in the incubator for 3 days. After 3 days, cell culture supernatants were harvested and IFN-γ was measured by ELISA.

[0149] As shown in Figure 13, co-culture of human PBMCs and Raji-PDL-1 cells significantly promoted IFN-γ secretion from PBMCs, and addition of antibodies to the co-culture system significantly induced IFN-γ secretion in PBMCs. In terms of the level of promoting IFN-γ secretion activity, antibodies P1D7V01, P1D7V02R, P1D7V03 and P1D7V04R have activity equivalent to that of the parent PD-1 single targeting antibody 14C12H1L1.

[0150] 2. Biological activity of anti-CD73 / anti-PD-1 bispecific antibody to promote IL-2 secretion in Raji-PDL-1 mixed lymphocyte reaction system Raji-PDL-1 cells were subcultured as usual. PBMCs were thawed, incubated in 10 mL of 1640 complete medium, and stimulated with SEB (0.5 μg / mL) for 2 days. Raji-PDL-1 cells were treated with 25 μg / mL MMC and placed in a 37°C incubator for 1 h. PBMCs (peripheral blood mononuclear cells) stimulated with SEB for 2 days and Raji-PDL-1 cells treated with MMC for 1 h were harvested, washed twice with PBS, resuspended in complete medium, and counted. Cells were added separately to U-shaped 96-well plates at 100,000 cells per well. Antibodies were added and cultured for 3 days according to the study design. Cell culture supernatants were harvested and IL-γ was measured by ELISA.

[0151] As shown in Figure 14, the mixed culture of human PBMC and Raji-PDL-1 cells has a certain promoting effect on the secretion of IL-2 in PBMC, and the simultaneous addition of antibodies to the mixed culture system significantly induced the secretion of IL-2 in PBMC in a remarkable dose-dependent manner. In terms of the level of promoting IL-2 secretion activity, the bifunctional antibodies P1D7V01, P1D7V02R, P1D7V03 and P1D7V04R have slightly lower activity than the parent PD-1 single target antibody 14C12H1L1 at low concentrations, and have activity equivalent to that of the parent PD-1 single target antibody 14C12H1L1 at medium and high concentrations. Compared with the PD1 target positive control drug Nivolumab, P1D7V01, P1D7V02R, P1D7V03 and P1D7V04R have high IL-2 secretion promoting ability at three different antibody concentration levels.

[0152] 3. Biological activity of anti-CD73 / anti-PD-1 bispecific antibody that promotes DC mixed lymphoid reaction system and secretes IFN-γ PBMCs from normal human peripheral blood were isolated, resuspended in complete medium, and seeded on culture dishes. The culture dishes were placed in an incubator overnight for culture. The suspended PBMCs were collected and removed. The attached cells on the bottom of the dishes were washed with PBS buffer, and then DC maturation induction was performed. 10 mL of RPMI-1640 complete medium containing GM-CSF and IL-4 at a concentration of 1000 U / mL each was added to each dish. The dishes were cultured in an incubator at 37°C and 5% carbon dioxide for 3 days. Then, half of the medium was replaced, 1000 U / mL of GM-CSF and IL-4 were added, and the dishes were placed in a 37°C, 5% carbon dioxide incubator and cultured for 3 consecutive days. After 3 days, half of the medium was replaced again, 1000 U / mL of GM-CSF and IL-4, and 100 U / mL of TNF-α were added, and the dishes were cultured for another 2 days. PBMCs from other donors were freshly isolated and plated in 96-well plates at 100,000 cells per well after cell counting. DCs induced to mature were harvested and washed once with complete medium. Cells were counted and plated in 96-well plates containing PBMCs at 10,000 cells per well. Antibodies were added according to the study design. The system was mixed well and incubated in a 37°C, 5% carbon dioxide incubator for 5 days to perform co-culture. After 5 days, cell culture supernatants were harvested and IFN-γ was quantified by ELISA.

[0153] The results are shown in Figure 15. Compared with the culture of DCs or PBMCs alone, the co-culture of DCs and PBMCs significantly promoted the secretion of IFN-γ; and compared with the isotype control, the addition of anti-CD73 / anti-PD-1 bispecific antibody to the co-culture of DCs and PBMCs further significantly improved the IFN-γ secretion level.

[0154] Biological activity of anti-CD73 / anti-PD-1 bispecific antibody to promote IL-2 secretion in DC mixed lymphocyte reaction system PBMCs from normal human peripheral blood were isolated, resuspended in complete medium, and seeded on culture dishes. The culture dishes were placed in an incubator overnight for culture. The suspended PBMCs were collected and removed. The attached cells on the bottom of the dishes were washed with PBS buffer and then subjected to DC maturation induction. 10 mL of RPMI-1640 complete medium containing GM-CSF and IL-4 at a concentration of 2000 U / mL each was added to each dish. The dishes were cultured in an incubator at 37°C and 5% carbon dioxide for 3 days. Then, half of the medium was replaced, 50 ng / mL IFN-γ and 100 ng / mL LPS were added, and cultured for another 2 days. PBMCs from other donors were thawed, counted, and seeded on 96-well plates at 100,000 cells per well. DCs induced to mature were collected and washed once with complete medium. The cells were counted and PBMCs were seeded into 96-well plates containing 10,000 cells per well. Antibodies were added according to the study design. The systems were mixed well and co-cultured in a 37°C, 5% carbon dioxide incubator for 5 days. After 5 days, the cell culture supernatant was collected and IL-2 was quantified by ELISA. The results are shown in Figure 16. Compared with the culture of DCs or PBMCs alone, the co-culture of DCs and PBMCs significantly promoted the secretion of IL-2; and compared with the isotype control, the addition of anti-CD73 / anti-PD-1 bispecific antibody based on the co-culture of DCs and PBMCs further significantly improved the IL-2 secretion level.

The recombinant plasmids were extracted and co-transfected into 293F cells. After 7 days of cell culture, the medium was separated by centrifugation at high speed, and the supernatant was concentrated and loaded onto a HiTrapMabSelectSuRe column. The protein was eluted in one step with elution buffer. The target sample was isolated and the buffer was exchanged into PBS. The purified antibodies NTPDV1, NTPDV2, NTPDV3 and NTPDV4 were obtained according to the expression and purification methods described in the preparation examples above. Example 16

Binding activity of NTPDV1, NTPDV2, NTPDV3 and NTPDV4 to the antigen PD-1-mFc measured by ELISA The microplate was coated with PD-1-mFc (0.5 μg / mL) and incubated overnight at 4°C. The antigen-coated microplate was then washed once with PBST and then blocked with PBS solution containing 1% BSA as blocking solution at 37°C for 2 hours. After blocking, the microplate was washed three times with PBST. Antibodies serially diluted in PBST solution (antibody dilution gradient is shown in Table 2) were added. The microplate containing the test antibodies was incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes and then washed three times with PBST. After washing, HRP-labeled goat anti-human IgGFc (Jackson, Cat. No. 109-035-098) secondary antibody working solution diluted at a ratio of 1:5000 was added, and then the microplate was incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes. After incubation, the plate was washed 4 times with PBST, and TMB (Neogen, 308177) was added for 8 min in the dark to develop the color, and then the stop solution was added to terminate the color reaction. The microplate was immediately placed in a microplate reader, and the OD value of each well in the microplate was read at 450 nm. The data was analyzed and processed by SoftMaxPro6.2.1.

[0161] The results are shown in Table 10. It can be seen that NTPDV1, NTPDV2, NTPDV3 and NTPDV4 can effectively bind to the antigen PD-1-mFc in a dose-dependent manner. The absorbance intensity for each dose is shown in Table 10. Quantitative analysis of the absorbance of the bound antibodies gave the binding efficiency EC of antibodies NTPDV1, NTPDV2, NTPDV3, NTPDV4 and 14C12H1L1 (hG1TM) (as a control) obtained by curve fitting. 50 The values ​​were 0.101 nM, 0.119 nM, 0.110 nM, 0.123 nM and 0.031 nM, respectively.

[0162] The above experimental results indicated that under the same experimental conditions, the binding activity of NTPDV1, NTPDV2, NTPDV3 and NTPDV4 to PD-1-mFc was equivalent to that of the control drug 14C12H1L1 (hG1TM) to the same target, suggesting that NTPDV1, NTPDV2, NTPDV3 and NTPDV4 have effective binding activity to PD-1-mFc. [Table 10]

[0163] 2. Binding activity of NTPDV1, NTPDV2, NTPDV3 and NTPDV4 to the antigen human NT5E-biotin measured by ELISA The microplate was coated with streptavidin SA (2 μg / mL) and then incubated overnight at 4° C. After incubation, the streptavidin-coated microplate was washed once with PBST and blocked with PBS solution containing 1% BSA as microplate blocking solution at 37° C. for 2 hours. After blocking, the microplate was washed three times with PBST. Then, the antigen human NT5E-biotin 0.5 μg / mL was added and incubated at 37° C. for 30 minutes. Then, the plate was washed three times with PBST. The antibodies serially diluted in PBST solution (antibody dilution gradient is shown in Table 11) were added to the wells of the microplate. The microplate containing the test antibodies was incubated at 37° C. for 30 minutes and then washed three times with PBST. After washing, a working solution of HRP-labeled goat anti-human IgGFc (Jackson, Cat. No. 109-035-098) secondary antibody diluted at a ratio of 1:5000 was added, and the microplate was incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes. After incubation, the plate was washed 4 times with PBST, and TMB (Neogen, 308177) was added for 7 minutes in the dark to develop the color, and then stop solution was added to terminate the color reaction. The microplate was immediately placed in a microplate reader, and the OD value of each well in the microplate was read at 450 nm. The data was analyzed and processed by SoftMaxPro6.2.1.

[0164] The results are shown in Table 11. It can be seen that NTPDV1, NTPDV2, NTPDV3, NTPDV4 and 19F3H2L3 (hG1M) can effectively bind to the antigen human NT5E-biotin in a dose-dependent manner (the absorbance intensity for each dose is shown in Table 11). Quantitative analysis of the absorbance of the bound antibodies gave the binding efficiency EC of the antibodies NTPDV1, NTPDV2, NTPDV3, NTPDV4 and 19F3H2L3 (hG1M) (as a control antibody) obtained by curve fitting. 50 The values ​​were 0.079 nM, 0.082 nM, 0.084 nM, 0.077 nM and 0.029 nM, respectively.

[0165] The above experimental results showed that under the same experimental conditions, the binding activity of the bispecific antibodies NTPDV1, NTPDV2, NTPDV3 and NTPDV4 to human NT5E-biotin was equivalent to that of the control drug 19F3H2L3 (hG1M) to the same target, suggesting that NTPDV1, NTPDV2, NTPDV3 and NTPDV4 have the activity of effectively binding to human NT5E-biotin. [Table 11] Example 17

[0166] Activity of anti-CD73 / anti-PD-1 bispecific antibodies complemented with human PDL-1-mFc to bind human PD-1-mFc-biotin measured by competitive ELISA A microplate was coated with 2 μg / mL of human PDL-1-mFc (PDL-1, Genbank ID: NP54862.1, mFc SEQ ID NO: 89) and incubated overnight at 4 °C. After incubation, the microplate was blocked with PBS solution containing 1% BSA at 37 °C for 2 hours. After blocking, the plate was washed once and dried. The antibody was serially diluted to 7 concentrations with a gradient ratio of 1:3 on a dilution plate starting at 10 μg / mL, and a blank control was set up. Then, an equal amount of human PD-1-mFc-biotin solution of 0.3 μg / mL was added, the system was mixed well, and incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes. The reaction mixture was then added to the coated microplate, and the microplate was incubated at 37 °C for 30 minutes. After incubation, the plate was washed three times with PBST and dried. SA-HRP (KPL, 14-30-00) working solution was added, and the plate was incubated at 37 °C for 30 minutes. After incubation, the plate was washed four times and tapped dry. Then, TMB (Neogen, 308177) was added for 5 minutes in the dark to develop the color, and the color reaction was stopped by adding stop solution. Then, the microplate was immediately placed in a microplate reader, and the OD value of each well in the microplate was read at 450 nm. The data was analyzed and processed by SoftMaxPro6.2.1.

[0167] The OD values ​​of the total volume are shown in Table 12. Quantitative analysis of the absorbance intensity of the bound antibody allowed curve simulation to determine the antibody binding efficiency, EC 50 was given (Table 12).

[0168] The results showed that NTPDV1, NTPDV2, NTPDV3, NTPDV4 and 14C12H1L1(hG1TM) (as a control) could effectively block the binding of the antigen human PD-1-mFc-biotin to its receptor human PDL-1-mFc in a dose-dependent manner. EC values ​​of NTPDV1, NTPDV2, NTPDV3, NTPDV4 and 14C12H1L1(hG1TM) for blocking the binding of human PD-1-mFc-biotin to its ligand human PDL-1-mFc were 50 The values ​​were 2.249 nM, 2.253 nM, 2.332 nM, 2.398 nM, 2.216 nM and 2.231 nM, respectively. [Table 12] Example 18

[0169] Kinetic parameters for binding of anti-CD73 / anti-PD-1 bispecific antibodies to antigen human PD-1-mFc measured by the Fortebio system The sample dilution buffer was PBS (0.02% Tween-20, 0.1% BSA, pH 7.4). PD1-mFc was immobilized on the AMC sensor at a concentration of 5 μg / mL with an immobilization height of approximately 0.1 nM (time 60 s). The sensor was equilibrated in the buffer for 60 s and the binding of PD1-mFc immobilized on the sensor to antibodies at concentrations of 0.62 to 50 nM (three-fold dilution) was measured for 120 s. The protein was dissociated in the buffer for 300 s. The detection temperature was 30 °C, the detection frequency was 0.3 Hz, and the vibration speed of the sample plate was 1000 rpm. The data was analyzed by 1:1 model fitting to obtain the affinity constants.

[0170] The affinity constants of the humanized antibodies NTPDV1, NTPDV2, NTPDV3, NTPDV4 and nivolumab (as a control antibody) for human PD-1-mFc are shown in Table 13, and the detection results are shown in Figures 19, 20, 21, 22 and 18. The affinity constants of the humanized antibodies NTPDV1, NTPDV2, NTPDV3, NTPDV4 and nivolumab for human PD-1-mFc were 1.40E-10M, 7.39E-11M, 1.25E-10M, 1.13E-11M and 2.26E-10M, respectively. The above experimental results showed that the binding abilities of NTPDV1, NTPDV3 and nivolumab were equivalent, and the binding abilities of NTPDV2 and NTPDV4 were superior to that of nivolumab, suggesting that the humanized antibodies NTPDV1, NTPDV2, NTPDV3 and NTPDV4 have stronger binding abilities to human PD-1-mFc. [Table 13] Example 19

[0171] Kinetic parameters of binding of anti-CD73 / anti-PD-1 bispecific antibody to antigen human NT5E(1-552)-his measured by the Fortebio system The sample dilution buffer was PBS (0.02% Tween-20, 0.1% BSA, pH 7.4). HNT5E(1-552)-his was immobilized on the HIS1K sensor at a concentration of 5 μg / mL with an immobilization height of approximately 0.4 nM (time 50 s). The sensor was equilibrated in the buffer for 60 s, and the binding of HNT5E(1-552)-his immobilized on the sensor to antibodies at concentrations of 0.31 to 25 nM (triple dilution) was measured for 100 s. The protein was dissociated in the buffer for 180 s. The detection temperature was 30 °C, the detection frequency was 0.3 Hz, and the vibration speed of the sample plate was 1000 rpm. The data was analyzed with a 1:1 model fitting to obtain the affinity constants.

[0172] The measurement results of the affinity constants of the humanized antibodies 19F3H2L3 (hG1M) (as a control antibody), NTPDV1, NTPDV2, NTPDV3 and NTPDV4 against human NT5E (1-552)-his are shown in Table 14, and the detection results are shown in Figures 24 to 27. The affinity constants of the humanized antibodies NTPDV1, NTPDV2, NTPDV3 and NTPDV4 against human NT5E (1-552)-his were 3.29E-11M, 2.88E-11M, 7.92E-11M and 5.77E-11M, respectively.

[0173] The above experimental results suggested that the binding abilities of 19F3H2L3 (hG1M), NTPDV1, NTPDV2, NTPDV3 and NTPDV4 were equivalent, and that the humanized antibodies NTPDV1, NTPDV2, NTPDV3 and NTPDV4 had strong binding ability to human NT5E (1-552)-his. [Table 14] Example 20

[0174] Detection of inhibition of the enzymatic activity of CD73 on the membrane surface of U87-MG cells by anti-CD73 / anti-PD-1 bispecific antibody U87-MG cells in good logarithmic phase were removed, resuspended in serum-free RPMI-1640 medium, and then counted. U87-MG cells were cultured at 2.5 × 10 per well. 4Cells / 60μL were seeded into 96-well plates. Antibodies were diluted in serum-free RPMI-1640 medium according to the study design. Antibodies were added to the 96-well plates at 60μL per well, and the plates were incubated at 37℃ for 1 hour. After 1 hour, 60μL of AMP diluted in RPMI-1640 at 600μM was added to each well. After 3 hours, 100μL of cell culture supernatant was removed and transferred to a new 96-well plate, 40μL of CTG (CellTiterGlo) color development solution was added to each well, and the plate was placed at room temperature in the dark for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, 10μL of 300μM ATP was added to each well to develop the color. The relative fluorescence intensity (RLU) was read by a multi-label microplate tester (PerkinElmer 2140-0020).

[0175] The experimental results are shown in Table 15 and FIG. 28. The AMP amount of NTPDV2 is equivalent to that of the positive control MEDI9447.

[0176] The above experimental results showed that the added AMP could be converted to adenosine A through the enzymatic activity of CD73 on the surface of U87-MG cells without antibody, and after the antibody was added, the antibody NTPDV2 bound to CD73, reducing the enzyme catalytic function, so that AMP could not be converted to adenosine A. This suggested that the antibody effectively inhibited the enzymatic activity reaction in a non-substrate competitive mode and reduced the production of adenosine. [Table 15] Example 21

[0177] Biological activity of anti-CD73 / anti-PD-1 bispecific antibodies to promote secretion of IFN-γ and IL-2 as measured by mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) 1. Biological activity of anti-CD73 / anti-PD-1 bispecific antibody to promote IFN-γ secretion in Raji-PDL-1 mixed lymphocyte reaction system Raji-PDL-1 cells were passaged as usual. PBMCs were thawed, incubated in 10 mL of 1640 complete medium and stimulated with 0.5 μg / mL SEB (Dianotech, Cat. No. S010201) for two days. Raji-PDL-1 cells were treated with 25 μg / mL MMC (mitomycin C, Stressmarq, Cat. SIH-246, Cat. No. SM286474) and placed in a 37°C incubator for 1 hour. PBMCs (peripheral blood mononuclear cells) stimulated with SEB for 2 days and Raji-PDL-1 cells treated with MMC for 1 hour were harvested, washed twice with PBS, resuspended in complete medium and counted. Cells were cultured at 1 × 10 per well. 5 The cells were separately added to a U-shaped 96-well plate. Antibodies were added according to the study design and cultured in an incubator for 3 days. After 3 days, the cell culture supernatants were collected and IFN-γ was measured by ELISA.

[0178] As shown in Figure 29, co-culture of human PBMCs and Raji-PDL-1 cells significantly promoted IFN-γ secretion from PBMCs, and addition of antibodies to the co-culture system significantly induced IFN-γ secretion in PBMCs. In terms of the level of promoting IFN-γ secretion activity, antibody NTPDV2 has activity equivalent to that of the parent PD-1 single targeting antibody 14C12H1L1.

[0179] 2. Biological activity of anti-CD73 / anti-PD-1 bispecific antibody to promote IL-2 secretion in Raji-PDL-1 mixed lymphocyte reaction system Raji-PDL-1 cells were passaged as usual. PBMCs were thawed, incubated in 10 mL of 1640 complete medium, and stimulated with SEB (0.5 μg / mL) for two days. Raji-PDL-1 cells were treated with 25 μg / mL MMC and placed in a 37°C incubator for 1 h. PBMCs (peripheral blood mononuclear cells) stimulated with SEB for 2 days and Raji-PDL-1 cells treated with MMC for 1 h were harvested, washed twice with PBS, resuspended in complete medium, and counted. Cells were cultured at 1 × 10 per well. 5Cells were added separately to U-shaped 96-well plates. Antibodies were added according to the study design and cultured for 3 days. Cell culture supernatants were harvested and IL-2 was measured by ELISA.

[0180] As shown in Figure 29, the mixed culture of human PBMC and Raji-PDL-1 cells had a certain promoting effect on IL-2 secretion from PBMC, and the simultaneous addition of antibodies to the mixed culture system significantly induced IL-2 secretion in PBMC in a remarkable dose-dependent manner. In terms of the promotion level of IL-2 secretion activity, the bifunctional antibody NTPDV2 has an activity equivalent to that of the parent PD-1 single targeting antibody 14C12H1L1 at low concentrations, and has a slightly lower activity than that of the parent PD-1 single targeting antibody 14C12H1L1 at medium and high concentrations. Example 22

[0181] In vivo tumor growth inhibition experiment using anti-CD73 / anti-PD-1 bispecific antibody To measure the in vivo antitumor activity of the anti-CD73 / anti-PD-1 bispecific antibody, MC38-hPDL-1 / hCD73 cells (GemPharmatech Co., Ltd.) were first subcutaneously inoculated into 5-7 week-old female C57BL6-hPD1hPDL-1hCD73 triple transgenic mice (GemPharmatech Co., Ltd.). Modeling and specific administration methods are shown in Table 16. After administration, the length and width of the tumors in each group were measured, and the tumor volume was calculated. [Table 16]

[0182] The experimental results are shown in Figures 30 and 31. The results show that, compared with the isotype control antibodies hIgG and 19F3H2L3 (hG1M), different doses of NTPDV2 can effectively inhibit the growth of mouse tumors, and high doses of NTPDV2 are superior to low doses in tumor inhibition. Moreover, NTPDV2 has no effect on the body weight of tumor-bearing mice. Example 23

[0183] Efficient ablation of bispecific immune checkpoint inhibitor PD-1 / CD73 bispecific antibody-mediated IL-8 and IL-6 secretion in human macrophages by amino acid mutations in the Fc segment HPMM were prepared by induction of PBMCs. The PBMCs used in this study were isolated and prepared by Zhongshan Akesobio Co. Ltd., with informed consent from the donors. Ficoll-Paque PLUS Lymphocyte Isolation Solution (GE, Cat. No. 17-1440-03); RPMI1640 (Gibco, Cat. No. 22400-105); CHO-K1-PD1 cells (constructed by Zhongshan Akesobio Co. Ltd.); U87-MG cells (cells from ATCC purchased from Beijing Zhongyuan Ltd.); FBS (Fetal Bovine Serum, Excell bio, Cat. No. FSP500); Human IFN-γ protein (Sinobio, Cat. No. 11725-HNAS-100); LPS (Lipopolysaccharide) (Sigma, Cat. No. L4391); 96-well cell culture plate (Corning).

[0184] Healthy human PBMCs were isolated according to the instructions of the isolation solution Ficoll-PaqueTMPlus reagent and resuspended in 1640 medium containing 2% FBS. The plates were incubated at 37°C in a cell incubator with 5% CO2. After 2 hours, the supernatant was removed and the attached cells were washed twice with PBS and induced with 1640 complete medium (containing 10% FBS) and 100ng / mL human M-CSF for 7 days. On days 3 and 5, the medium was replaced and M-CSF was added to induce HPMM. On day 7, after induction of HPMM, the cells were harvested, adjusted to a concentration of 100,000 cells / mL in complete medium, and loaded into 96-well plates. Recombinant human IFN-γ (50ng / mL) was added and incubated for 24 hours in an incubator. After 24 hours, CHO-K1-PD1 cells expressing human PD-1 or U87-MG cells expressing human CD73 constitutively in log phase were harvested. The cells were resuspended and then adjusted to a concentration of 300,000 cells / mL with complete medium. The antibodies were diluted to standard concentrations of 25 nM, 2.5 nM, and 0.25 nM with complete medium. Isotype control antibodies and blank controls were designed simultaneously. The supernatant in the 96-well plate was removed, and CHO-K1-PD1 or U87-MG cell suspension and antibodies were added (final volume 200 μL). The system was mixed well and incubated in an incubator for 24 hours. The mixture was centrifuged at 500 × g for 5 minutes, the supernatant was collected, and the secretion levels of IL-8 and IL-6 were measured using Dakewe kit. In the experiment, LPS was used as a positive control and adjusted to a concentration of 100 ng / mL with complete medium.

[0185] In this example, coculture of HPMM with CHO-K1-PD1 cells and U87-MG cells as target cells induced HPMM activation, and after the activated HPMM bound to the target cells via antibody Fab, the Fc fragment of the antibody interacted with FcγR on the HPMM, causing cytokine secretion by the HPMM.

[0186] 3. Experimental Results The results are shown in Figures 32 to 35. The results showed that compared with wild-type IgG1 subtype PD-1 antibody or CD73 antibody, the anti-PD-1 / CD73 bispecific antibody with Fc fragment mutations could effectively eliminate the secretion of IL-6 and IL-8 in immune cells.
