Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to an anti-SIRPα antibody useful for treating tumors, and an antitumor agent containing the antibody. . [Background technology]
[0002] SIRPα (SHPS-1) is used in myeloid cells such as macrophages, dendritic cells, and neutrophils. It is a single-pass transmembrane molecule of the Ig superfamily present in cells and glial cells (non Patent Document 1). The extracellular region consists of one IgV domain and two IgC domains, C Regarding the IgV domain, which is the binding site for D47, there are 10 variants in humans. This has been reported (Non-Patent Document 2). On the other hand, the intracellular region is immunoreceptor Includes tyrosine-based inhibition motifs (ITIM) Furthermore, through binding with CD47, the tyrosine dephosphorylation enzymes SHP-1 and SHP-2 Binding to is induced, and an inhibitory signal is transmitted.
[0003] Physiological phenomena resulting from SIRPα-CD47 interaction include SIRP on macrophages. CD47 on red blood cells binds to alpha, transmitting the "Don't eat me" signal. It has been shown that this avoids unnecessary phagocytosis of red blood cells (Non-Patent Literature 3). On the other hand, tumor micro Even in micro-environments, SIRPα is highly expressed on macrophages and dendritic cells, as well as on tumor cells. It has been suggested that the binding of CD47 suppresses the phagocytic activity of tumor cells. Suppression of phagocytic activity leads to the subsequent suppression of tumor antigen presentation to T cells, and further to the suppression of the tumor immune response. It is expected that they will be connected. Therefore, the immune phenomenon of phagocytosis by tumor cells is the uptake of tumor antigens. This can be considered a checkpoint for entry.
[0004] To date, antibodies against CD47, a ligand for SIRPα, have been used to study SIRPα-CD4 It has been reported that inhibiting the interaction enhances the phagocytic ability against tumor cells. (Non-patent document 4) This is because even when using anti-SIRPα antibodies, tumor cells are immune cells A similar phenomenon was observed under conditions of concomitant use with anti-cancer antibodies that possess effector activity that attracts to it. (Non-patent documents 5 and 6) are available. In addition, in an allogeneic mouse tumor model using anti-CD47 antibodies... It has been suggested that it not only has an antitumor effect but also induces tumor immunity (Non-Patent Document 7). Similarly, anti-SIRPα antibodies can be expected to have a similar effect when used in combination with anti-cancer antibodies.
[0005] On the other hand, immune checkpoint inhibitors include those that target T cells such as PD-1 / PD-L1. Several antibodies against disease-suppressing molecules have been developed, and their effectiveness has been demonstrated in clinical settings. Non-patent documents 8 and 9). SIRPα-CD47 is currently the only proven phagocytic inhibitory molecule. Therefore, inhibitory antibodies against this molecule are novel checkpoints against targets other than T cells. It is expected to have potential as an inhibitor of immune checkpoints, and is used in patients resistant to conventional immune checkpoint inhibitors. It also has the potential to be widely effective against [these conditions].
[0006] To date, human Burkitt's has been studied using anti-mouse SIRPα antibody (MY-1). Studies using a lymphoma subcutaneous transplant model have shown that combination therapy with rituximab is effective against tumors. The effect has been demonstrated. In addition, in a mouse colorectal cancer model, the combination with PD-1 antibody showed an antitumor effect. Results have been observed (Non-Patent Document 5). In addition, different clones of anti-mSIRPα antibodies ( In the study using P84), antitumor and life-prolonging effects have also been observed in a mouse liver cancer model even when combined with an anti-PD-L1 antibody or an anti-4-1BB antibody. When the same tumor cells were re-implanted into the mice that showed a life-prolonging effect, further antitumor and life-prolonging effects were obtained. Therefore, it is shown that it is possible to induce a strong tumor immune response by inhibiting different immune checkpoints (Patent Document 1). These results are examples showing a combined effect not only in the combination with an anticancer antibody having the conventionally predicted effector activity but also in the combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor targeting T cells. Similar effects can also be expected for an anti-human SIRPα antibody. In recent years, reports of patents on anti-SIRPα antibodies have been successively made by various companies (Patent Documents 1, 2 and 3). For example, OSE-172 is an IgG4Pro type antibody and shows binding affinity to the V1 type of SIRPα and SIRPβ1, but does not show binding affinity to the V2 type of SIRPα and SIRPγ. KWAR23 is an IgG1N279A type antibody and shows binding affinity to 10 types of SIRP α variants as well as SIRPβ1 and SIRPγ. ADU-1805 is an I gG2 type antibody and shows binding affinity to 10 types of SIRPα variants and SIRPγ. It is unclear which antibody is the most appropriate as a medicine, and efforts to obtain excellent antibodies have been continuing. Furthermore, in the study using an anti-CD47 antibody, in addition to the antibody medicines as described above, it has been reported that sufficient antitumor and life-prolonging effects are also shown in the combination with a chemotherapeutic agent widely used as a conventional SOC (Standard of Care: Standard of Care) and radiotherapy.
[0007] (Standard of Care) <000… In particular, in cases of combination therapy with chemotherapy agents, the chemotherapy agent is administered first, followed by the anti-CD47 antibody. Administering this drug provides a stronger antitumor effect and prolongs life compared to the simultaneous administration of chemotherapy agents and anti-CD47 antibodies. Since it shows effectiveness (Non-Patent Document 7), pre-administration of chemotherapy agents facilitates the uptake of tumor antigens. By preparing such an environment, antigen uptake can be inhibited through the SIRPα-CD47 interaction. This suggests the possibility of enhancing the effect of immune activation.
[0008] Based on the above, anti-SIRPα antibodies, when used in combination with various antitumor agents, can lead to stronger tumor immunity. It can be inferred that this drug may induce an epidemic response. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0011] The present invention provides an anti-SIRPα antibody that can be used as an antitumor agent, and a method for effectively using the antibody. The purpose is to provide an antitumor agent that is included as part of the product. [Means for solving the problem]
[0012] The inventors have identified SIRPα expressed in phagocytic cells with phagocytic ability and SIRPα expressed in tumor cells. The interaction with CD47 is inhibited by an anti-SIRPα antibody, allowing tumor cells to switch to phagocytic cells. It inhibits the transmission of the "Don't-eat-me" signal, preventing phagocytic cells from destroying tumor cells. We investigated methods to enhance the phagocytic activity of cells. The inventors investigated methods to enhance SIRPα We are attempting to create an antibody with higher affinity and a stronger inhibitory effect on the interaction between SIRPα and CD47. Furthermore, anti-SIRPα antibodies possess effector functions such as ADCC or ADCP. Considering that this could potentially attack one's own immune cells, the effector We also investigated the production of anti-SIRPα antibodies that do not possess the effector function. To reduce the effect, the antibody subclass was set to IgG4, and the effector function was further reduced. A mutation was introduced into the Fc region of the antibody to induce this interaction. As a result, the interaction between SIRPα and CD47 was observed. To create an anti-SIRPα antibody that strongly inhibits but has reduced effector function. This was achieved. This antibody does not bind to the Fc receptor on effector cells and does not exert effector function. Since it does not exert its full effect, it does not have sufficient antitumor activity on its own. Therefore, other ingredients with effector functions are used. When used in combination with antibody drugs or other antibody drugs that have immune checkpoint inhibitory effects, The discovery of a favorable antitumor effect led to the completion of this invention.

[0026] The present invention will be described in detail below.
[0027] Characteristics of anti-SIRPα antibodies This invention relates to an anti-SIRPα protein that recognizes and binds to the extracellular IgV domain of the SIRPα protein. It is the body.
[0028] SIRPα (signal regulatory protein α) is macro Ig cells present in myeloid cells such as phages, dendritic cells, and neutrophils, as well as glial cells. It is a per-family single-pass transmembrane molecule. The extracellular domain consists of one IgV domain and two It consists of an IgC domain, and the IgV domain, which is the binding site for CD47, is human Ten variants, V1 to V10, have been reported. Extracellular SIRPα protein The IgV domain is one of the three extracellular Ig-like domains that make up the SIRPα protein. There are two IgV domains. Of these, V1 and V2 are the major variants. The anti-SIRPα antibody of the invention includes all variants, including the major variants V1 and V2. It binds to the riant. In this invention, "SIRPα" may be referred to as "SIRPA". be.
[0029] The amino acid sequence of the human SIRPα protein is, GenBank Accession No. It is disclosed in .:NP_001035111.
[0030] The monoclonal antibodies used in this invention are from mice, rats, rabbits, hamsters, and guinea pigs. Mammals such as horses, monkeys, dogs, pigs, cows, goats, and sheep are treated with SIRPα or its The fragments were used as immunogens to immunize the cells, and spleen cells and other tissues were fused with myeloma to create hybridomas. And it can be obtained as an antibody produced and secreted by hybridomas. Hybridomas are known It can be manufactured using the following method.
[0031] SIRPα as an immunogen can also be chemically synthesized based on sequence information, and it is also a protein. Based on the DNA sequence information encoding the protein, recombinant proteins are obtained using known methods. It can also be obtained this way.
[0032] Antibody screening can be performed by any method, but preferably, SIRPα Cell-ELISA using animal cells transfected with encoding DNA Screening is sufficient. The amino acid sequence of the human SIRPα V1 protein is the sequence of the sequence listing. Number 56 shows the amino acid sequence of the human SIRPα V2 protein as sequence number 57 in the sequence listing. .
[0033] The anti-SIRPα antibody of the present invention inhibits the binding of SIRPα to CD47. Tumor cells highly express CD47, and SIR is expressed in phagocytic cells that have phagocytic ability. Pα and CD47 bind and interact, causing phagocytic cells to "Don't-eat-m" It transmits the e" signal, escaping phagocytosis by phagocytic cells. Anti-SIRPα antibodies are SI By inhibiting the binding of RPα and CD47, tumor cells can transmit "Don't-" to phagocytic cells. It inhibits the transmission of the "eat-me" signal, thereby suppressing the phagocytic action of phagocytic cells on tumor cells. It enhances the function. As a result, it may exert an antitumor effect. As a phagocytic cell with phagocytic ability, type M1 macrophages such as M2 macrophages and dendritic cells such as imDCs (immature dendritic cells) Examples include cells, etc.
[0034] In this process, the anti-SIRPα antibody has an effector function, acting on phagocytic cells such as macrophages and Fc receptors such as Fcγ receptors on effector cells such as natural killer cells and T cells When it binds to the cell, ADCC (Antibody Dependent Cellular) r Cytotoxicity: Antibody-dependent cytotoxicity) and ADCP (Antidoby cytotoxicity) Dependent Cellular Phagocytosis: Antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis Through phagocytosis, the body's own effector cells such as PBMCs (peripheral blood mononuclear cells) and macrophages are transformed. I'll attack.
[0035] To avoid attacking one's own cells, the anti-SIRPα antibody of the present invention has an effector function It is reduced. As a result, the anti-SIRPα antibody of the present invention is simply SIRPα and CD47 It only has the effect of inhibiting binding, and does not bind to the Fc receptor of effector cells. The filter function does not work.
[0036] The anti-SIRPα antibody of the present invention does not attack the body's own immune cells, and therefore has no side effects. It can be safely used as a medicine.
[0037] However, the anti-SIRPα antibody of the present invention has reduced effector function, therefore, it cannot be used alone. Therefore, it does not exhibit sufficient antitumor effects. For this reason, as described later, it is used in combination with other antitumor agents. Use.
[0038] To reduce the effector function, the Fc portion of the anti-SIRPα antibody is macrophage It is necessary that it does not bind to the Fc receptors on T cells. Therefore, the anti-SI of the present invention The RPα antibody subclass has been substituted with one derived from IgG4. Generally, human IgG subclass Within the class, IgG4 exhibits effects such as ADCC activity, CDC activity and / or ADCP activity. It is known as a subclass with low cognitive function (Bruggemann et al.). (J.Exp.Med., 1351-1361, 1987). Therapeutic antibodies cause abnormalities in normal organs. When targeting molecules that exhibit this behavior, avoid toxicity caused by cytotoxicity mediated by effector functions. It is used as one of the IgG formats for (e.g., Opdivo). However, IgG Even though the effects functions of the 4 subclasses are said to be low, they are not completely absent. The anti-SIRPα antibody of the invention modifies the heavy chain constant region to further reduce effector function. Alterations, i.e., substitutions of one or more amino acids that result in a reduction in ADCC and / or ADCP activity. The mutation has been introduced. One such mutation is the EU index by Kabat et al. Kabat et.al., Sequences of proteins of im munological interest,1991 Fifth edition) The substitution of phenylalanine at position 234 to alanine (F234A) and 23 The fifth most common substitution is leucine-alanine substitution (L235A) (Parekh et al.) al., mAbs, 310-318, 2012). Such antibody mutations are called FALA mutations. It is called phenylalanine at position 234, as shown by the EU index by Kabat et al. It is sometimes referred to as phenylalanine, EU number 234.
[0039] Furthermore, IgG4 has unstable disulfide bond formation between antibody heavy chains, so we need to improve its stability. Therefore, mutations that promote the formation of disulfide bonds between antibody heavy chains are introduced. And, according to the EU Index by Kabat et al., serine is ranked 228th, and proline is... Substitution (S228P) is one example (ANGAL et.al., Molecular (Immunology, 105-108, 1993). This antibody mutation is called a PRO mutation. Bu.
[0040] The constant region of the antibody of the present invention is simultaneously introduced with the above-mentioned FALA mutation and PRO mutation. It is acceptable to be present (Vafa et al., Methods, 65, 114-126, 201 4) IgG4 heavy chains having both FALA and Pro mutations are called "IgG4pr "oFALA" type heavy chain, "IgG4PFALA" type heavy chain or "IgG4pf" type It is also called a heavy chain.
[0041] The constant region of the antibody heavy chain consists of the CH1, hinge, CH2, and CH3 regions, with CH1 being the EU region. Index 118 to 215, hinge is EU index 216 to 230, CH2 is EU indices 231 to 340 are defined as EU indices 341 to 446, while CH3 is defined as EU indices 341 to 446. It is said that the phenylalanine at position 234, as shown by the EU index by Kabat et al. The alanine substituted from n is the 25th amino acid in SEQ ID NO: 25, which shows the heavy chain amino acid sequence of antibody D13. The third alanine, the 252nd amino acid in Sequence ID No. 29, which shows the heavy chain amino acid sequence of antibody F44. Alanine and the heavy chain amino acid sequence of antibody F63, shown in SEQ ID NO: 33, at the 257th alanine Alanine, which corresponds to n and is substituted from leucine at position 235, is the 254th position in Sequence ID No. 25. alanine, alanine 253 in SEQ ID NO: 29 and alanine 258 in SEQ ID NO: 33 It corresponds to alanine. Also, 228 is shown by the EU Index by Kabat et al. The proline substituted from the serine position is the 247th proline in SEQ ID NO: 25, SEQ ID NO: This corresponds to the 246th proline in sequence number 29 and the 251st proline in sequence number 33.
[0042] The amino acid sequence of the constant region of the "IgG4proFALA" type heavy chain is as shown in SEQ ID NO: 25. Amino acid sequence consisting of amino acid residues 140-466, sequence number 29, 139-46 The amino acid sequence consisting of the 5th amino acid residue and the 144th to 470th amino acid residues of SEQ ID NO: 33 It is an amino acid sequence consisting of amino acid residues.
[0043] Human IgG1, among the human IgG subclasses, exhibits complement-mediated CDC activity and antibody activity. It has very strong effector functions, such as dependent cytotoxic activity (Bruggemann et al., J.Exp.Med., 1351-1361, 1987), therapeutic antibodies When targeting molecules highly expressed in cancer cells, cancer cells are affected by cytotoxicity mediated by effector functions. It is used as an IgG format that shows therapeutic effects by promoting cell death induction in cells (tr (e.g., astuzumab, rituximab). I as the isotype of the antibody of the present invention. When using gG1, by substituting some of the amino acid residues in the constant region, effervescence can be achieved. It is possible to adjust the function (WO88 / 007089, W094 / 2802) 7. See W094 / 29351). A mutant of IgG1 with reduced effector function. Therefore, IgG1 LALA (IgG1-L234A, L235A), IgG1 LAGA Examples include (IgG1-L235A, G237A), etc. The constant region of the antibody of the present invention is It is also possible to use the IgG1 heavy chain constant region into which these mutations have been introduced.
[0044] Human IgG2, among the human IgG subclasses, exhibits complement-mediated CDC activity and antibody activity. The effector function, such as dependent cytotoxic activity, is very weak (Bruggemann et al., J.Exp.Med., 1351-1361, 1987), therapeutic antibodies When targeting molecules expressed in normal organs, toxicity occurs through cytotoxicity mediated by effector function. It is used as one of the IgG formats for sex avoidance (denosumab, (e.g., evolocumab, brodalumab). As the constant region of the antibody of the present invention, It is also possible to use the IgG double-chain constant region. Regarding species cross-reactivity, the anti-SIRPα antibody of the present invention cross-reactive with human SIRPα and monkey (Cyn) It binds to *Omolgus monkey* but not to mouse SIRPα.

[0046] Human chimeric antibodies Human chimeric antibodies combine the light chain variable region and heavy chain variable region of antibodies from non-human animals with those of human antibodies. This refers to an antibody consisting of a light chain constant region and a heavy chain constant region of the body. Human chimeric antibodies are anti-SI antibodies. cDNA encoding the light chain variable region and heavy chain variable region were obtained from hybridomas that produce RPα antibodies. cDNA encoding the variant region was collected, and the light chain constant region and heavy chain constant region of the human antibody were coded. By inserting the cDNA into an expression vector containing the desired expression, a human chimeric antibody expression vector is constructed. It can be produced by introducing it into host cells and expressing it.
[0047] The heavy chain constant region consists of three domains C H 1, C H 2 and C H It consists of 3 parts. In the present, as described above, the human heavy chain constant region of the chimeric antibody is the IgG4 subclass. Heavy chain constant region having Pro mutations and FALA mutations IgG4pro It is FALA. Also, the light chain constant region only needs to belong to human Ig, and the κ or λ constant region It is a region.

These three antibodies are human SI. This antibody has high binding affinity to RPα and exhibits high inhibitory activity against the binding of SIRPα to CD47. Among these, antibodies cD13 and cF63, which have high activity, are preferred.

Usually such molecules bind to two types of antigens (immediately In this invention, a bispecific antibody is a " A "multispecific antibody" is an antibody that has specificity for more than three (for example) different antigens. It includes. The polyspecific antibody of the present invention is an antibody consisting of its full length, or a fragment of such an antibody (e.g., F (ab')2 bispecific antibodies may also be used. A bispecific antibody consists of the heavy chain and light chain of two types of antibodies. It can also be produced by conjugating HL pairs, or by producing different monoclonal antibodies. By fusing ibridomas to create bispecific antibody-producing fusion cells, it is also possible to produce It can be manufactured (Millstein et al., Nature (1983) 3 (05, pp. 537-539).
[0101] The antibody of the present invention may also be a single-chain antibody (also referred to as scFv). A single-chain antibody is an antibody Obtained by linking the heavy chain variable region and the light chain variable region with a polypeptide linker. (Pluckthun,The Pharmacology of Monoclona l Antibodies, 113 (edited by Rosenberg and Moore, Spring) Ger Verlag, New York, p. 269-315 (1994), Natu re Biotechnology (2005), 23, pp. 1126-1136). Furthermore, a BiscFv fragment is created by linking two scFvs with a polypeptide linker. It can also be used as a bispecific antibody.
[0102] Methods for producing single-chain antibodies are well known in the art (for example, U.S. 4, U.S. Patent No. 946,778, U.S. Patent No. 5,260,203, U.S. Patent No. 5,091,513 (See U.S. Patent No. 5,455,030, etc.). In this scFv, the heavy chain variable region and The light chain variable region is a linker that does not form a conjugate, preferably a polypeptide chain. Linked via a linker (Huston, JSet al., Proc.Natl .Acad.Sci.USA(1988), 85, p.5879-5883). s The heavy chain variable region and light chain variable region in cFv may originate from the same antibody, or they may be separate. It may be derived from an antibody. For example, 12 polypeptide linkers can be used to link the variable regions. Any single-chain peptide consisting of approximately 19 residues can be used.
[0103] The DNA encoding scFv is the DNA encoding the heavy chain or heavy chain variable region of the antibody. , and DNA encoding the light chain or light chain variable region, all or of their sequences A DNA portion encoding a desired amino acid sequence is used as a template, and primers define both ends of it. The pairs are amplified by PCR, and then the polypeptide linker portion is further encoded. The DNA and a primer pair are assembled so that both ends are linked to the heavy and light strands, respectively. It is obtained by combining and amplifying them.
[0104] Furthermore, once the DNA encoding scFv is created, an expression vector containing them is created. - and a host transformed with the expression vector can be obtained by conventional methods, By using the host, scFv can be obtained according to the standard method. These antibodies Somatic fragments can be produced by a host after obtaining and expressing genes in the same manner as described above. ru.
[0105] The antibody of the present invention may be multiplied to increase its affinity for the antigen. Even a single antibody can recognize multiple epitopes of the same antigen. Multiple antibodies may be used. One method for increasing antibody volume is to use the IgG CH3 domain and Binding to two scFvs, binding to streptavidin, helic-stern-helic Examples include the introduction of motifs. The antibody of the present invention is a mixture of multiple types of anti-SIRPα antibodies with different amino acid sequences. Polyclonal antibodies are also acceptable. An example of a polyclonal antibody is one with different CDRs. A mixture of multiple types of antibodies can be cited. Such a polyclonal antibody is This involves culturing a mixture of cells that produce different antibodies and using antibodies purified from the culture. It is possible (see WO2004 / 061104).
[0106] Antibodies modified with various molecules such as polyethylene glycol (PEG). You can also use this.
[0107] The antibodies of the present invention are further formed by these antibodies conjugating with other drugs. An immunoconjugate may also be used. An example of such an antibody is one in which the antibody releases Examples include substances that are combined with projectile substances or compounds with pharmacological effects (Natur e Biotechnology (2005) 23, p. 1137-1146).
[0108] Furthermore, the full-length sequences of the antibody's heavy and light chains are linked using an appropriate linker, and a single-strand immunoglobulin is formed. Those who are obtaining globulin (single-chain immunoglobulin) The law is also known (Lee, HS, et al., Molecular Immuno). logy(1999)36,p.61-71;Shirrmann,T.et.al., mAbs (2010), 2, (1) p. 1-4). Such single-stranded immunoglobulins By dimerizing, antibodies retain a structure and activity similar to those of antibodies, which are originally tetramers. This is possible. Furthermore, the antibody of the present invention has a single heavy chain variable region and does not have a light chain sequence. It is also acceptable for it to be a single-domain antibody. Such antibodies are single-domain antibodies. in antibody (sdAb) or nanobody Furthermore, it has been observed in camels or llamas that the antigen-binding ability is retained. (Muyldemans S.et.al., Protein Eng.(1994) 7(9),1129-35,Hamers-Casterman C.et.al.,N ature(1993)363(6428)446-8). The above antibody is used in the present invention. It can also be interpreted as a type of antigen-binding fragment of an antibody.
[0109] Methods for producing antibodies The antibody of the present invention is a DNA encoding a heavy chain variable region or a DN encoding a light chain variable region. A is inserted into an expression vector, and host cells for expression are transformed using the vector. By culturing the cells, recombinant antibodies can be produced in the cells.
[0110] The DNA encoding the antibody consists of DNA encoding the heavy chain variable region and DNA encoding the heavy chain constant region. By ligating the DNA, DNA encoding the heavy chain is obtained, and furthermore, the light chain variable region By linking the DNA encoding the light chain constant region with the DNA encoding the light chain constant region, the light chain is coded You will obtain the DNA you want to use.
[0111] The anti-SIRPα antibody of the present invention comprises the DNA encoding the heavy chain and the D encoding the light chain. NA is inserted into an expression vector, host cells are transformed using the vector, and the host cells It can be produced by culturing. In this process, the DNA encoding the heavy chain and the light chain mentioned above are used. The DNA to be expressed is introduced into the same expression vector, and the host cells are transformed using the vector. Alternatively, the DNA encoding the heavy chain and the DNA encoding the light chain can be inserted into separate vectors. Alternatively, the host cells may be transformed using two vectors. In this case, the heavy chain constant region may be used. A vector into which the DNA encoding the light chain constant region and the DNA encoding the light chain constant region have been pre-introduced is then used to create a heavy chain variable region. DNA encoding the region and the light chain variable region may be introduced into the vector. It may also contain DNA encoding a signal peptide that promotes antibody secretion from cells. In this case, the DNA encoding the signal peptide and the DNA encoding the antibody are inverted. They are linked together with a linkage. After the antibody is produced, the signal peptide is removed, thus preventing the antibody The body can be obtained as mature protein.
[0112] In this case, DNA encoding the heavy chain variable region, DNA encoding the light chain variable region, heavy chain variable DNA formed by linking DNA encoding a variable region and DNA encoding a heavy chain constant region, light chain DNA that ligates DNA encoding a variable region and DNA encoding a light chain constant region is used in programming. It can be functionally linked with elements such as motors, enhancers, and polyadenylated signals. Here, functional connection means that elements are connected in a way that allows them to perform their intended function. .
[0113] Expression vectors are not particularly limited as long as they can replicate in a host such as animal cells, bacteria, or yeast. Examples include known plasmids and phages, which are used in the construction of expression vectors. Examples of vectors that can be used include pcDNA (trademark) (ThermoFisher). SCIENTIFIC), Flexi® Vector (Promega Corporation), pUC19 pUEX2 (manufactured by Amersham), pGEX-4T, pKK233-2 (manufactured by Pharmacia) Examples include pMAM-neo (manufactured by Clontech), etc. Host cells include the colon. Both prokaryotic cells such as bacteria and Bacillus subtilis, and eukaryotic cells such as yeast and animal cells can be used, but eukaryotic cells It is preferable to use cells. For example, as animal cells, the human embryonic kidney cell line HEK2 93 cells, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, etc. can be used. Expression vector The transformer can be introduced into host cells using a known method, and the host cells can be transformed. For example, electro Troporation method, calcium phosphate precipitation method, DEAE-dextran transfect Examples include the suction method.

[0114] Antitumor agents The present invention encompasses an antitumor agent containing the anti-SIRPα antibody of the present invention as an active ingredient. Furthermore, the heavy chain constant region of the anti-SIRPα antibody of the present invention is the heavy chain constant region of the IgG4 subclass. It is a heavy chain constant region IgG4proFALA that has Pro mutations and FALA mutations. It does not have an effects function, and inhibits the binding of SIRPα and CD47. It only has the function of inhibiting the “Don't-eat-me” signaling pathway. Therefore, the anti-SIRPα antibody of the present invention alone cannot sufficiently damage tumor cells. Thus, the present invention has an effector function and can attack and damage tumor cells, and other antitumor agents and tumors. It is used in combination with other antitumor agents that inhibit immune checkpoints on immune cells caused by tumor cells. Other antitumor agents used in this context bind to tumor cells and interact with phagocytic cells such as macrophages. It can be brought into contact with the CD47 of the tumor cells. At that time, the anti-SIRPα antibody of the present invention can be brought into contact with the CD47 of the tumor cells. By inhibiting the binding of phagocytic cells to SIRPα, the phagocytic ability of phagocytic cells to tumor cells is impaired. Because it enhances the tumor, tumor cells are damaged. That is, the anti-SIRPα antibody of the present invention and other anti-tumor antibodies By using anti-tumor agents in combination, a synergistic anti-tumor effect can be achieved.

Figure 2 shows the ribbon model and surface of the entire complex, and Figure 3 shows the bet of human SIRPA. The interaction between the regions before a5 (A) and after beta5 (B) and cD13 was shown. 3 is the beta4-5 loop, which has low sequence diversity in human SIRPA, i.e., residue number 8. Strong recognition of 2-87 enables strong coupling with various variants. This was suggested (Figure 4). On the other hand, the beta5-6 loop, i.e., residue numbers 92-105 The interaction in this region is weak. For example, if glutamate is replaced with aspartic acid... Glu95, which contains the variant, is located near Fab, but the electron density of its side chain is observed. This suggests that it is not measured and does not significantly contribute to the interaction. Furthermore, in the sequence shown in Figure 4...

On the other hand, Trastuz When used in combination with umab, ADCP activity equivalent to that of Hu5F9-G4 and TTI-621 should be maintained. As shown (Figure 5B). Therefore, the binding of SIRPA-CD47 is inhibited by the anti-SIRPA antibody. This suggests that it enhances the phagocytic ability of macrophages.

When considering adding efficacy, chemotherapeutic agents, antibody drugs, and molecular targets may be applied to each of these groups. The medications are administered in combination. The tumor diameter (long diameter / short diameter) in each treatment group is measured every 2-3 days using an electronic cymbal. The tumor volume is calculated by measuring it using a meter, etc. The tumor growth rate is calculated from the tumor volumes of the antibody-administered group and the negative control group. By calculating the reproductive inhibition rate, it is possible to compare and evaluate the in vivo efficacy of each drug. It will come. Furthermore, the tumor volume and tumor growth inhibition rate are shown by the following formulas. Tumor volume (mm 3 ) = (major axis × minor axis × minor axis) / 2 Tumor growth suppression rate (%) = (1 - Tumor volume in each treatment group / Tumor volume in the negative control group) × 100 [Industrial applicability]
