Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] [CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS] This patent application claims the benefit of priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202310116909.2, filed on February 25, 2023, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
[0002] The present invention relates to the field of biomedicine, and in particular to a peptide, its use as an antibody light chain, and to a monoclonal or multispecific antibody comprising this peptide as a common light chain. [Background technology]
[0003] Antibodies typically exist as one or more Y-shaped monomers, each composed of four polypeptide chains: two heavy chains and two light chains. The two heavy chains and two light chains of an antibody may be identical, and such an antibody may be called a "homodimer," which has binding affinity and specificity for one target, e.g., an antigen. Alternatively, the two heavy chains and two light chains of an antibody may be different, and such an antibody may be called a "heterodimer," which has binding affinity and specificity for two targets, e.g., antigens. An additional target-binding domain may also be incorporated into the Y-shaped monomer structure.
[0004] It is generally believed that the binding affinity and specificity of an antibody to a target, such as an antigen, are jointly determined by the six complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) in the paired heavy and light chains. However, it has been proposed to provide a polypeptide that can function as a common light chain that can pair with any heavy chain that has binding affinity and specificity for a target, thereby constructing an antibody (homodimer). Based on this, this polypeptide can also function as a common light chain that can pair with two or more antibody heavy chains, thereby constructing a bispecific antibody or even a multispecific antibody (heterodimer, heteromultimer) that has binding affinity and specificity for different targets.
[0005] Furthermore, current conventional methods for producing bispecific antibodies often require the simultaneous transfection of four plasmids to express two different heavy chains and two different light chains. However, when these four polypeptide chains assemble into an antibody, the problem of mispairing between the heavy and light chains can occur. By providing the above-mentioned polypeptide as a common light chain that pairs with two different heavy chains, this problem can be avoided. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the above problems, an object of the present disclosure is to provide a polypeptide that can be used as an antibody light chain variable region to construct an antibody by pairing it with an antibody heavy chain or heavy chain variable region specific for a particular target (antigen) or with two or more antibody heavy chain or heavy chain variable regions specific for different targets (antigens). Another object of the present disclosure is to provide an antibody comprising the polypeptide as a light chain variable region. Such an antibody may be, for example, in the form of a homodimer or a heterodimer.

[0037] The present invention will now be described with reference to specific examples, which will be understood by those skilled in the art as being merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention in any way.
[0038] All experimental procedures in the following examples are conventional unless otherwise specified. All raw materials and reagents used in the following examples are commercially available unless otherwise specified.
[0039] Example 1 Screening for common light chains Prior art analysis revealed that germline sequences such as KV4 are more frequently expressed in mice and pair with mouse heavy chains at a higher rate. Therefore, we selected germline sequences from this category, including the following mouse germline sequence, KV4-59, which is relatively easy to humanize, has good solubility, low immunogenicity, and does not have potential modification sites.
[0040] >KV4-59 (SEQ ID NO: 1): QIVLTQSPAIMSASPGEKVTMTCSASSSVSYMHWYQQKSGTSPKRWIYDTSKLASGVPARFSGSGSGTSYSLTISSMEAEDAATYYC QQWSSNPP FGSGTKLEIK
[0041] This sequence was modified. Because the light chain CDR3 plays an important role in the binding affinity of the antibody to the antigen, amino acids were added after the CDR3 (see underlined part) to improve the affinity to the potential antigen. The following three sequences were obtained:
[0042] >KV4-59-1 (SEQ ID NO: 2): QIVLTQSPAIMSASPGEKVTMTCSASSSVSYMHWYQQKSGTSPKRWIYDTSKLASGVPARFSGSGSGTSYSLTISSMEAEDAATYYC QQWSSNPPYT FGSGTKLEIK >KV4-59-2 (SEQ ID NO: 3): QIVLTQSPAIMSASPGEKVTMTCSASSSVSYMHWYQQKSGTSPKRWIYDTSKLASGVPARFSGSGSGTSYSLTISSMEAEDAATYYC QQWSSNPPWT FGSGTKLEIK >KV4-59-3 (SEQ ID NO: 4): QIVLTQSPAIMSASPGEKVTMTCSASSSVSYMHWYQQKSGTSPKRWIYDTSKLASGVPARFSGSGSGTSYSLTISSMEAEDAATYYC QQWSSNPPFT FGSGTKLEIK
[0043] Each of the above three sequences was used as the antibody light chain variable region sequence and paired with the heavy chain variable region sequence of a mouse anti-chicken lysozyme antibody as follows, and a chimeric antibody was constructed using human heavy chain constant regions and human light chain constant regions.
[0044] >Sequence of the heavy chain variable region of mouse anti-chicken lysozyme antibody (SEQ ID NO: 5): LDVKLQESGPGLVKPSQSLSLTCSVTGYSFTSGYYWNWIRLFPGNKLEWMGYVSYFGTNNYNPSLKNRFSITRDTSKNQFFLKLNSVSTEDTATYYCARGEEWDWSFDVWGTGTTVTVSS
[0045] By detecting the properties of the three chimeric antibodies, such as expression level, thermal stability, solubility, and freeze-thaw stability, it was confirmed that the constructed antibodies had excellent properties when KV4-59-1 (SEQ ID NO: 2) was used as the antibody light chain variable region sequence.
[0046] Example 2 Construction of transgenic mice Based on the antibody lambda light chain gene sequence of C57 mice, sgRNAs were designed from both ends of the gene cluster. Using the Cas9-gRNA Target Efficiency Detection Kit (Vazyme, catalog number: VK007-30T), the following sgRNA sequences, which showed high cleavage efficiency, were selected through in vitro validation: TGAATGCCATGTACTTATGG (SEQ ID NO: 6) and AAGTTCAGCTCCTAAAATGG (SEQ ID NO: 7). The sgRNA sequences were synthesized and microinjected into mouse fertilized eggs along with spCas91.1 protein. The sgRNA cleaved both ends of the target gene fragment via the Cas9 protein, generating a double-stranded DNA break. The genomic ends were repaired via the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway, resulting in deletion of the middle target fragment and knockout of the target gene. Two weeks after birth, mice were genotyped to confirm lambda gene knockout.
[0047] sgRNAs were designed based on the mouse antibody kappa light chain sequence. Using a Cas9-gRNA Target Efficiency Detection Kit (Vazyme, catalog number: VK007-30T), the following sgRNA sequences were selected through in vitro validation, demonstrating high cleavage efficiency: IGK-L1: GTGAATGCCATGTACTTATGG (SEQ ID NO: 8), IGK-R1: CAAGTTCAGCTCCTAAAATGG (SEQ ID NO: 9). The sgRNA sequences were synthesized and microinjected into mouse fertilized eggs along with spCas91.1 protein. The sgRNA cleaved at the target site via Cas9 protein, creating a nick. Using a donor DNA fragment with homologous arms and the target fragment KV4-59-1 (SEQ ID NO: 2), knock-in of the DNA fragment at the target site was achieved via homologous recombination. Two weeks after birth, mice were genotyped to confirm knock-in of the common light chain gene.
[0048] Heterozygous mice with a lambda chain knockout were mated with heterozygous mice with a common light chain knockin. Two weeks after birth, each offspring was genotyped to detect the presence of the common light chain knockin and the lambda chain knockout status. This process was continued until mice homozygous for the common light chain knockin and both lambda and kappa chain knockout were obtained.
[0049] Example 3: Preparation of hybridoma cells secreting anti-LAG3 antibodies The mice constructed in Example 2 were immunized with a fusion protein (referred to as "LAG3-mFc") of the human LAG3 extracellular domain (NCBI reference sequence: NP_002277.4) and mouse IgG2a-Fc (Genbank accession number AAH31470.1). Mice with higher titers were selected, and serum was collected from them. The mice were then sacrificed, their spleens were removed, and splenocytes were isolated. The splenocytes were fused with cultured myeloma cells to obtain hybridoma cells.
[0050] An ELISA plate was coated with a fusion protein (LAG3-hFc) of the human LAG3 extracellular domain and human IgG1-Fc (Genbank accession number CAC20454.1). The binding activity of hybridoma cell culture supernatants to this fusion protein was detected by ELISA, and numerous positive hybridoma cell lines secreting anti-LAG3 antibodies were obtained.
[0051] Example 4 Detection of binding of hybridoma cell culture supernatant containing anti-LAG3 antibody to LAG3-expressing cells The gene sequence encoding human LAG3 (NCBI reference sequence: NM_002286.6) was cloned into a PLVX packaging vector (Clontech, virus package mix, catalog number: 631275), and the recombinant plasmid was transfected into 293T cells. Resistant cell lines were then selected using puromycin to obtain 293T cells stably expressing human LAG3 (referred to as "293T-LAG3 cells"; Kyinno Biotechnology Co. Ltd. (referred to as "Kyinno"), catalog number: KC-0214). 293T-LAG3 cells were then cultured at 1 × 10 per mL in PBS containing 2% FBS. 7 The cells were prepared as a cell suspension at a concentration of 1000 cells.
[0052] 50 μL of the cell suspension was added to one flow cytometry tube (sample tube), followed by 50 μL of either the hybridoma cell culture supernatant to be detected or the control antibody 28F6-7, followed by incubation at 4°C for 60 minutes. Next, 1 mL of flow cytometry buffer was added to each flow cytometry tube, which was then centrifuged at 1200 rpm for 5 minutes and the supernatant was discarded. This washing step was repeated three times. Simultaneously, control tube 1 (cell suspension only, without culture supernatant or secondary antibody (described below)) and control tube 2 (cell suspension and secondary antibody only, without culture supernatant) were prepared.
[0053] To each flow cytometry tube, 100 μL of flow cytometry buffer was added to resuspend the cells, followed by the addition of 5 μL of PE-conjugated anti-mouse IgG Fc secondary antibody (PE anti-mouse IgG Fc, Biolegend, catalog number: 409304), followed by incubation at 4°C for 30 minutes in the dark. Next, 1 mL of flow cytometry buffer was added to each tube, which was then centrifuged at 1200 rpm for 5 minutes at room temperature, and the supernatant was discarded. This washing step was repeated three times. To each flow cytometry tube, 250 μL of flow cytometry buffer was added to resuspend the cells, and the cells were thoroughly mixed and detected. The detection results are shown in Table 1 and Figure 1.

[0055] Note: The control antibody 28F6-7 is a previously validated anti-LAG3 hybridoma antibody.

No. KC-0271) were harvested, washed once with FACS buffer, and plated at 2 × 10 cells per well in a 96-deep-well plate. 5 pieces~5×10 5Cells were plated at 1000 x g / well. 50 μL of hybridoma cell culture supernatant or control antibody 28F6-7 (diluted 3.16-fold from a starting concentration of 20 μg / mL) and 500 ng of the fusion protein LAG3-hFc were added to the plate as a premix per well, followed by incubation for 2 hours. Next, 400 μL of FACS buffer was added per well, followed by washing twice. PE-conjugated anti-human IgG Fc secondary antibody (PE anti-human IgG Fc, SouthernBiotech, catalog number: 2010-09) was added, followed by incubation for 1 hour. After washing twice again with 400 μL of FACS buffer per well, the cells were detected. The detection results are shown in Table 2 and Figure 2.

Mice with the highest titers were selected, and serum was collected from them. The mice were then sacrificed, their spleens were removed, and splenocytes were isolated. The splenocytes were fused with cultured myeloma cells to obtain hybridoma cells.

Next, 1 mL of flow cytometry buffer was added to each flow cytometry tube, which was then centrifuged at 1200 rpm for 5 minutes and the supernatant was discarded. This washing process was repeated three times. Simultaneously, control tube 1 (cell suspension only, without culture supernatant or secondary antibody (described below)) and control tube 2 (cell suspension and secondary antibody only, without culture supernatant) were prepared.

[0072] Example 9 Construction of anti-PD1 humanized antibody and anti-PD1 chimeric antibody The heavy and light chain variable regions of the anti-PD1 murine antibody 107D12-10 were humanized to obtain a humanized antibody sequence. The coding sequence of the humanized antibody sequence was linked to the coding sequences of the human IgG4 heavy chain constant region (SEQ ID NO: 17) and the human kappa light chain constant region (SEQ ID NO: 18), respectively. The resulting coding gene was cloned into a eukaryotic expression vector and expressed to obtain an anti-PD1 humanized antibody designated "KA-1807 H107D12-10V4-hIgG4M."

[0088] Example 12 Construction of anti-LAG3 humanized antibody and anti-LAG3 chimeric antibody The heavy chain variable region of the anti-LAG3 murine antibody 28G2 was humanized to obtain the humanized antibody sequence (SEQ ID NO: 19). Furthermore, the light chain variable region (SEQ ID NO: 15) of the anti-PD1 humanized antibody obtained in Example 9 was used as the light chain variable region to construct an anti-LAG3 humanized antibody. The coding sequence of the humanized antibody sequence was linked to the coding sequences of the human IgG4 heavy chain constant region (SEQ ID NO: 17) and the human kappa light chain constant region (SEQ ID NO: 18), respectively. The resulting coding genes were cloned into a eukaryotic expression vector and expressed to obtain anti-LAG3 humanized antibodies designated "KA-1780 H28G2-7V2-hIgG4M" and "KA-1782 H28G2-7V4-hIgG4M." The variable region sequences (SEQ ID NO: 19 and SEQ ID NO: 15) and full-length light chain (SEQ ID NO: 37) of antibody KA-1782 H28G2-7V4-hIgG4M are shown below.
[0089] Furthermore, two chimeric antibodies were constructed based on the murine antibody 28G2 and the murine antibody 107D12-10. One chimeric antibody was constructed as follows: the coding sequence of the heavy chain variable region of the murine antibody 28G2 (SEQ ID NO: 10) was linked to the coding sequence of the human IgG4 heavy chain constant region, and the coding sequence of the light chain variable region of the murine antibody 107D12-10 (SEQ ID NO: 13) was linked to the coding sequence of the human kappa light chain constant region. The resulting coding genes were cloned into a eukaryotic expression vector and expressed to obtain an anti-LAG3 chimeric antibody designated "KA-1728 M28G2-7CLC1-hIgG4M." The variable region sequences (SEQ ID NO: 10 and SEQ ID NO: 13) and full-length light chain sequence (SEQ ID NO: 36) are shown below. Another chimeric antibody was constructed as follows: the coding sequence of the heavy chain variable region of murine antibody 28G2 (SEQ ID NO: 10) was linked to the coding sequence of the human IgG4 heavy chain constant region, and the coding sequence of the light chain variable region shown in SEQ ID NO: 2 (KV4-59-1) was linked to the coding sequence of the human kappa light chain constant region. The resulting coding gene was cloned into a eukaryotic expression vector and expressed to obtain an anti-LAG3 chimeric antibody designated "KA-1733 M28G2-7CLC2-hIgG4M." Its variable region sequences (SEQ ID NO: 10 and SEQ ID NO: 2) and full-length light chain sequence (SEQ ID NO: 35) are shown below.

[0100] Example 13 Detection of binding of anti-LAG3 humanized antibody and anti-LAG3 chimeric antibody to LAG3-expressing cells Flow cytometry (FACS) was used to detect the binding of the humanized and chimeric antibodies obtained in Example 12 to LAG3-expressing cells. The experimental procedure was the same as that described in Example 4, except that leratolimab was used as a positive control antibody and a goat anti-human IgG-PE secondary antibody (SouthernBiotech, catalog number: 2010-09) was added. The detection results are shown in Table 7 and Figure 7.

[0102] Example 14 Detection of blocking of LAG3 binding to tumor cells by anti-LAG3 humanized antibody and anti-LAG3 chimeric antibody Daudi cells were harvested, washed once with FACS buffer, and plated at 2 × 10 cells per well in a 96-deep-well plate. 5 pieces~5×10 5 Cells were plated at 1000 x g. 50 μL of one of the antibodies to be detected (chimeric antibodies KA-1728 M28G2-7CLC1-hIgG4M and KA-1733 M28G2-7CLC2-hIgG4M, humanized antibodies KA-1780 H28G2-7V2-hIgG4M and KA-1782 H28G2-7V4-hIgG4M, and control antibody leratolimab) and 500 ng of human LAG3-mFc were added as a premix per well of the plate, followed by incubation for 2 hours. Next, 400 μL of FACS buffer was added per well and the plate was washed twice. PE-conjugated anti-mouse IgG Fc secondary antibody was then added and incubated for 1 hour. After washing twice again with 400 μL of FACS buffer per well, the cells were detected. The detection results are shown in Table 8 and Figure 8.

[0104] Example 15 Construction of PD1 x LAG3 Bispecific Antibody The coding sequence for the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 15 or SEQ ID NO: 16 (see below, sequences obtained by humanizing KV4-59-1) was ligated to the coding sequence for the human kappa light chain constant region (SEQ ID NO: 18), thereby obtaining common light chain 1 (SEQ ID NO: 37) or common light chain 2 (SEQ ID NO: 38) for use in constructing the bispecific antibody.
[0105] The coding sequence for the heavy chain variable region of the anti-PD1 humanized antibody was linked to the coding sequence for the human heavy chain CH1 and Fc sequences ("knob") below, and the coding sequence for the heavy chain variable region of the anti-LAG3 humanized antibody was linked to the coding sequence for the human heavy chain CH1 and Fc sequences ("hole") below. Alternatively, the coding sequence for the heavy chain variable region of the anti-LAG3 humanized antibody was linked to the coding sequence for the human heavy chain CH1 and Fc sequences ("knob") below, and the coding sequence for the heavy chain variable region of the anti-PD1 humanized antibody was linked to the coding sequence for the human heavy chain CH1 and Fc sequences ("hole") below.
[0106] The resulting coding genes were cloned into a eukaryotic expression vector, resulting in three recombinant expression plasmids (one encoding common light chain 1 or common light chain 2, one encoding the PD1-targeting heavy chain, and one encoding the LAG3-targeting heavy chain). The three plasmids were transiently co-transfected using the HEK293F expression system to produce the PD1 x LAG3 bispecific antibody. Briefly, for a 1 L shaker flask, HEK293F cells were cultured at 1 x 10 per mL in 250 mL of culture medium. 6 The cells were seeded at 2 × 10 cells per mL and incubated at 110 rpm in 5% CO2. The next day, the three expression plasmids prepared in advance were mixed with the transfection reagent at a specific ratio, and the transfection complex was prepared at 2 × 10 cells per mL. 6 The cells were added to a cell density of 1000 cells, and after 24 hours, nutrients and DNA inhibitors were replenished. After 5-7 days of cell culture, the expression supernatant was collected, centrifuged, filtered, and purified using a MabSelectSure affinity chromatography column (GE Healthcare). The purity of the purified antibody was determined by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, and the antibody concentration was determined using a Nanodrop.
