Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the fields of cancer and immunotherapy. In particular, the present invention relates to CD80 IgV variant polypeptides, CD80 ECD variant polypeptides, CD80 variant fusion polypeptide complexes comprising said variant polypeptides, and nucleotide molecules expressing said variant fusion polypeptide complexes as fusion proteins. The present invention also relates to methods of inducing or enhancing immunity, and methods of treating or preventing diseases such as infectious diseases and cancer, using said variant polypeptides, fusion polypeptide complexes, or nucleic acid molecules.

Background Art

[0002] The CD80 protein is a type of immune-related molecule that stimulates the immune response, and its function is mainly realized by controlling T cell immune responses such as immune defense, immune tolerance, and immune tissue damage.

[0003] CD80 mainly exerts an immunomodulatory effect and regulates the immune response by binding to its ligands CD28, CTLA4, and PDL1. By changing the affinity between CD80 and the ligand, the related functions mediated by CD80 can be adjusted, and in particular, the immune response function can be strengthened, and the control effect against diseases such as cancer and infectious diseases can be strengthened.

[0004] The CD80 molecule is a member of the B7 molecule family and is involved in the co-stimulatory activation of T cells. The mature CD80 molecule is composed of an extracellular domain (ECD), a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular domain. Among them, the extracellular domain (ECD) is an important region in the binding to the corresponding receptor on T cells. The extracellular region of CD80 contains an immunoglobulin variant (IgV) region and an immunoglobulin constant (IgC2) region, and in particular, the IgV structural region is involved in the direct binding to the receptor. The extracellular domain IgV of CD80 binds to CD28 and is involved in the activation, proliferation, and induction of effector functions of T cells. CTLA4 can also bind to the IgV region of CD80 and is involved in immunosuppressive control.

[0005] In the regulation of the immune response, the activation of T cells is regulated by the binding of CD28, a co-stimulatory signal receptor, to the corresponding ligands CD80 / CD86 on the surface of antigen-presenting cells (APCs). However, in the tumor microenvironment, CD80 and CD86 are usually not expressed or are expressed at low levels, so T cells may not be effectively activated. This is one of the main mechanisms of tumor immune escape.

[0006] Furthermore, CTLA4 binds to CD80 / CD86 competitively with CD28 and shows higher affinity characteristics. As a result, CD28 cannot effectively receive the immune agonist signal mediated by CD80 / CD86, and T cells cannot be effectively activated or are immunosuppressed. In addition, by binding to CD80, PDL1 weakens the CD80-mediated immune activation effect and interferes with the normal activation of T cells, so the related immune response is also suppressed.

[0007] Therefore, in the art, there is a need for a CD80 variant polypeptide with improved binding activity of CD80 and its ligand, which can effectively stimulate T cells to enhance the immune response, thereby making it possible to treat or prevent diseases such as infections and tumors caused by the suppression of T cell function.

Summary of the Invention

[0008] The inventor of the present invention unexpectedly discovered that a CD80 variant polypeptide obtained by innovatively modifying the CD80 IgV domain can regulate the binding activity between CD80 and its ligand. This CD80 variant polypeptide can effectively stimulate T cells and enhance the immune response. As a result, it becomes possible to treat or prevent diseases such as infections and tumors caused by the suppression of T cell function.
