Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to an anti-cancer agent comprising a multispecific antigen-binding molecule targeting claudin 6, and a combination therapy with at least one other anti-cancer agent, etc. [Background technology]

[0002] The claudin family is a family of cell membrane proteins with a molecular weight of approximately 23 kD that have four transmembrane domains and form tight junctions. The claudin family includes 24 members in humans and mice, and it is known that each member of the claudin family shows a very unique expression pattern depending on each epithelial cell type (Non-Patent Documents 1 to 4). In epithelial cell sheets, a certain mechanism works to prevent substances from leaking (diffusing) into the intercellular space, and it has been shown that the intercellular adhesion system called tight junctions actually plays a central role as a "barrier" in the mechanism to prevent this leakage.

[0003] The tight junction molecule claudin 6 (CLDN6) is a member of the claudin family of proteins and is not transcriptionally expressed in normal biological tissues (Non-Patent Documents 5 and 6), but shows elevated expression in several types of cancer, including ovarian cancer, NSCLC, and gastric cancer (Non-Patent Documents 7 to 9). Regarding anti-CLDN6 antibodies, it has been reported that monospecific antibodies against CLDN6 have ADCC activity or internalization activity against CLDN6-positive cancer cell lines (Patent Documents 1 to 5). To date, a T cell redirecting bispecific antibody targeting CLDN6, named 6PHU3, has been synthesized as a bispecific sc(Fv) antibody having anti-CD3 / anti-CLDN6 specificity. 2 It has been reported that in preclinical evaluation, 6PHU3 exhibits strong killing of cancer cells in vitro and in vivo (Non-Patent Document 10).

[0021] The following definitions and detailed description are provided to facilitate understanding of the disclosure described herein.

[0022] definition amino acid As used herein, amino acids are described by the one-letter or three-letter code or both, e.g., Ala / A, Leu / L, Arg / R, Lys / K, Asn / N, Met / M, Asp / D, Phe / F, Cys / C, Pro / P, Gln / Q, Ser / S, Glu / E, Thr / T, Gly / G, Trp / W, His / H, Tyr / Y, Ile / I, or Val / V.

[0023] Amino acid modification

[0024] For amino acid modification in the amino acid sequence of an antigen-binding molecule (also referred to herein as "amino acid substitution" or "amino acid mutation"), known methods such as site-directed mutagenesis (Kunkel et al. (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA (1985) 82, 488-492)) and overlap extension PCR may be appropriately employed. Furthermore, as an amino acid modification method for substituting an unnatural amino acid, several known methods may also be employed (Annu. Rev. Biophys. Biomol. Struct. (2006) 35, 225-249; and Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA (2003) 100 (11), 6353-6357). For example, it is appropriate to use a cell-free translation system (Clover Direct (Protein Express)) containing a tRNA in which an unnatural amino acid is bound to a complementary amber suppressor tRNA of the UAG codon (amber codon), which is one of the stop codons.

[0025] As used herein, the term "and / or" when describing the site of amino acid modification includes any combination of "and" and "or" appropriately combined. Specifically, for example, "amino acids at positions 33, 55, and / or 96 are substituted" includes the following variations of amino acid modification: (a) 33, (b) 55, (c) 96, (d) 33 and 55, (e) 33 and 96, (f) 55 and 96, and (g) 33, 55, and 96 amino acids.

[0026] Furthermore, in the present specification, as an expression indicating an amino acid modification, an expression indicating the one-letter code or three-letter code of the amino acid before and after the modification, respectively, before and after the number indicating a specific position may be appropriately used. For example, the modification N100bL or Asn100bLeu used in replacing an amino acid contained in an antibody variable region represents the replacement of Asn at position 100b (according to Kabat numbering) with Leu. That is, the number indicates the position of the amino acid according to Kabat numbering, the one-letter or three-letter amino acid code written before the number indicates the amino acid before the replacement, and the one-letter or three-letter amino acid code written after the number indicates the amino acid after the replacement. Similarly, the modification P238D or Pro238Asp used in replacing an amino acid in the Fc region contained in an antibody constant region represents the replacement of Pro at position 238 (according to EU numbering) with Asp. That is, the numbers indicate the positions of the amino acids according to EU numbering, the one-letter or three-letter amino acid code written before the number indicates the amino acid before substitution, and the one-letter or three-letter amino acid code written after the number indicates the amino acid after substitution.

[0027] Polypeptides The term "polypeptide" as used herein refers to a molecule composed of monomers (amino acids) linked in a linear chain by amide bonds (also known as peptide bonds). The term "polypeptide" refers to any chain of two or more amino acids and does not refer to a specific length of the product. Thus, peptide, dipeptide, tripeptide, oligopeptide, "protein", "amino acid chain", or any other term used to refer to a chain of two or more amino acids, is included within the definition of "polypeptide", and the term "polypeptide" may be used in place of or interchangeably with any of these terms. The term "polypeptide" is also intended to refer to the products of post-expression modifications of the polypeptide, including, but not limited to, glycosylation, acetylation, phosphorylation, amidation, derivatization with known protecting / blocking groups, proteolytic cleavage, or modification with non-natural amino acids. A polypeptide may be derived from a natural biological source or produced by recombinant technology, but need not necessarily be translated from a specified nucleic acid. It may be generated in any manner, including chemical synthesis. The polypeptides described herein may be of a size of about 3 or more amino acids, 5 or more amino acids, 10 or more amino acids, 20 or more amino acids, 25 or more amino acids, 50 or more amino acids, 75 or more amino acids, 100 or more amino acids, 200 or more amino acids, 500 or more amino acids, 1,000 or more amino acids, or 2,000 or more amino acids. Polypeptides may have a defined three-dimensional structure, but they do not necessarily have to have such a structure. Polypeptides that have a defined three-dimensional structure are said to be folded, and polypeptides that do not have a defined three-dimensional structure but can adopt a number of different conformations are said to be unfolded.

[0028] Percent (%) Amino Acid Sequence Identity "Percent (%) amino acid sequence identity" to a reference polypeptide sequence is defined as the percentage of amino acid residues in a candidate sequence that are identical to amino acid residues in the reference polypeptide sequence after aligning the sequences to obtain the maximum percent sequence identity and introducing gaps, if necessary, and not considering any conservative substitutions as part of the sequence identity. Alignment for purposes of determining % amino acid sequence identity can be accomplished by a variety of methods within the skill of the art, for example, using publicly available computer software such as BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN, or Megalign (DNASTAR) software. Those skilled in the art can determine appropriate parameters for aligning sequences, including any algorithms required to achieve maximum alignment over the entire length of the sequences being compared. However, for purposes herein, % amino acid sequence identity values ​​are generated using ALIGN-2, a sequence comparison computer program. The ALIGN-2 sequence comparison computer program is the copyright of Genentech, Inc., and its source code has been filed with user documentation in the US Copyright Office, Washington DC, 20559, where it is registered under US Copyright Registration No. TXU510087. The ALIGN-2 program is publicly available from Genentech, Inc., South San Francisco, California, or may be compiled from the source code. The ALIGN-2 program is compiled for use on UNIX operating systems, including Digital UNIX V4.0D. All sequence comparison parameters are set by the ALIGN-2 program and do not vary.In the context of using ALIGN-2 for amino acid sequence comparison, the % amino acid sequence identity of a given amino acid sequence A to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B (alternatively, one may say a given amino acid sequence A has or contains a certain % amino acid sequence identity to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B) is calculated as follows: 100 times the fraction X / Y, where X is the number of amino acid residues scored as identical matches by the sequence alignment program ALIGN-2 in said program's alignment of A and B, and Y is the total number of amino acid residues in B. It will be understood that if the length of amino acid sequence A is not equal to the length of amino acid sequence B, the % amino acid sequence identity of A to B is not equal to the % amino acid sequence identity of B to A. Unless otherwise specified, all % amino acid sequence identity values ​​used herein are obtained using the ALIGN-2 computer program as described in the immediately preceding paragraph.

[0029] Recombination methods and configurations Antibodies and antigen-binding molecules can be produced using recombinant methods and constructs, for example as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567. In one embodiment, an isolated nucleic acid is provided that encodes an antibody described herein. Such a nucleic acid may encode an amino acid sequence comprising the VL and / or an amino acid sequence comprising the VH of the antibody (e.g., the light and / or heavy chains of the antibody). In a further embodiment, one or more vectors (e.g., expression vectors) comprising such a nucleic acid are provided. In a further embodiment, a host cell comprising such a nucleic acid is provided. In one such embodiment, the host cell comprises (e.g., is transformed with) (1) a vector comprising a nucleic acid encoding an amino acid sequence comprising the VL of the antibody and an amino acid sequence comprising the VH of the antibody, or (2) a first vector comprising a nucleic acid encoding an amino acid sequence comprising the VL of the antibody and a second vector comprising a nucleic acid encoding an amino acid sequence comprising the VH of the antibody. In one embodiment, the host cell is eukaryotic (e.g., a Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell) or a lymphoid cell (e.g., a Y0, NS0, Sp2 / 0 cell)). In one embodiment, there is provided a method of making a multispecific antigen-binding molecule of the disclosure, comprising culturing a host cell comprising nucleic acid encoding the antibody as described above under conditions suitable for expression of the antibody, and optionally recovering the antibody from the host cell (or host cell culture medium).

[0030] For recombinant production of the antibodies described herein, nucleic acid encoding the antibody (such as, for example, those described above) is isolated and inserted into one or more vectors for further cloning and / or expression in a host cell. Such nucleic acid may be readily isolated and sequenced using conventional procedures (e.g., using oligonucleotide probes capable of binding specifically to genes encoding the heavy and light chains of the antibody).

[0031] Suitable host cells for cloning or expressing antibody-encoding vectors include prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells as described herein. For example, antibodies may be produced in bacteria, particularly if glycosylation and Fc effector functions are not required. For expression of antibody fragments and polypeptides in bacteria, see, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 5,648,237, 5,789,199, and 5,840,523. (See also Charlton, Methods in Molecular Biology, Vol. 248 (BKC Lo, ed., Humana Press, Totowa, NJ, 2003), pp. 245-254, which describes the expression of antibody fragments in E. coli.) After expression, the antibody may be isolated in a soluble fraction from the bacterial cell paste, or may be further purified.

[0032] In addition to prokaryotes, eukaryotic microbes such as filamentous fungi or yeast, including fungal and yeast strains whose glycosylation pathways have been "humanized," resulting in the production of antibodies with partial or fully human glycosylation patterns, are suitable cloning or expression hosts for antibody-encoding vectors. See Gerngross, Nat. Biotech. 22:1409-1414 (2004) and Li et al., Nat. Biotech. 24:210-215 (2006).

[0033] Host cells derived from multicellular organisms (invertebrate and vertebrate) are also suitable for the expression of glycosylated antibodies. Examples of invertebrate cells include plants and insect cells. Numerous baculovirus strains have been identified for conjugation with insect cells, particularly for transformation of Spodoptera frugiperda cells.

[0034] Plant cell cultures can also be used as hosts. See, e.g., U.S. Patent Nos. 5,959,177, 6,040,498, 6,420,548, 7,125,978, and 6,417,429 (describing the PLANTIBODIES™ technology for producing antibodies in transgenic plants).

[0035] Vertebrate cells can also be used as hosts. For example, mammalian cell lines that have been adapted to grow in suspension may be useful. Other examples of useful mammalian host cell lines include SV40 transformed monkey kidney CV1 line (COS-7); human embryonic kidney lines (293 or 293 cells, e.g., as described in Graham et al., J. Gen Virol. 36:59 (1977)); baby hamster kidney cells (BHK); mouse Sertoli cells (TM4 cells, e.g., as described in Mather, Biol. Reprod. 23:243-251 (1980)); monkey kidney cells (CV1); African green monkey kidney cells (VERO-76); human cervical carcinoma cells (HELA); canine kidney cells (MDCK); Buffalo rat hepatocytes (BRL 3A); human lung cells (W138); human hepatocytes (Hep G2); mouse mammary carcinoma (MMT 060562); TRI cells (see, e.g., Mather et al., Annals NY Acad. Sci. 383:44-68 (1982)). Other useful mammalian host cell lines include DHFR cells, - Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, including CHO cells (Urlaub et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 77:4216 (1980)); and myeloma cell lines such as Y0, NS0, and Sp2 / 0. For a review of certain mammalian host cell lines suitable for antibody production, see, e.g., Yazaki and Wu, Methods in Molecular Biology, Vol. 248 (BKC Lo, ed., Humana Press, Totowa, NJ), pp. 255-268 (2003).

[0036] Recombinant production of the antigen-binding molecules described herein can be carried out in a manner similar to that described above, by using a host cell that contains (e.g., has been transformed with) one or more vectors that contain a nucleic acid encoding an amino acid sequence comprising the entire antigen-binding molecule or a portion of the antigen-binding molecule.

[0037] Antigen-binding molecules and multispecific antigen-binding molecules The term "antigen-binding molecule" as used herein refers to any molecule that contains an antigen-binding site or has binding activity to an antigen, and may further refer to molecules such as peptides or proteins having a length of about 5 amino acids or more. Peptides and proteins are not limited to those derived from organisms, and for example, they may be polypeptides produced from artificially designed sequences. They may be either natural polypeptides, synthetic polypeptides, recombinant polypeptides, etc. Scaffold molecules that contain a known stable conformation such as an α / β barrel as a scaffold, and a part of the molecule becomes an antigen-binding site, are also an embodiment of the antigen-binding molecule described herein.

[0038] "Multispecific antigen-binding molecule" refers to an antigen-binding molecule that specifically binds to two or more antigens. "Multispecific antigen-binding molecule" includes antibodies and antibody fragments that specifically bind to two or more antigens. The term "bispecific" means that an antigen-binding molecule can specifically bind to at least two different antigenic determinants. The term "trispecific" means that an antigen-binding molecule can specifically bind to at least three different antigenic determinants.

Includes.

[0090] In certain embodiments, the CLDN6 antigen-binding portion (the "second antigen-binding portion") comprises an antibody variable region comprising a human antibody framework or a humanized antibody framework.

[0095] In certain embodiments, the CLDN6 antigen-binding portion ("second antigen-binding portion") comprises an antibody variable region. In certain embodiments, the CLDN6 antigen-binding portion ("second antigen-binding portion") comprises the third antibody variable region and the fourth antibody variable region described above.

[0096] In the above multispecific antigen-binding molecules, the amino acid sequences of the heavy and light chain CDR1, CDR2, CDR3, heavy chain variable region, light chain variable region, full-length heavy chain, and full-length light chain may have one or more amino acids substituted, deleted, added, and / or inserted in the amino acid sequences, so long as they have binding activity to CD3, CD137, the T cell receptor complex, or CLDN6. Methods for introducing mutations into proteins are well known to those skilled in the art for preparing amino acid sequences in which one or more amino acids have been substituted, deleted, added, and / or inserted.For example, those skilled in the art can easily perform site-directed mutagenesis by using methods such as site-directed mutagenesis (Hashimoto-Gotoh, T, Mizuno, T, Ogasahara, Y, and Nakagawa, M. (1995) An oligodeoxyribonucleotide-directed dual amber method for site-directed mutagenesis. Gene 152, 271-275; Zoller, MJ, and Smith, M. (1983) Oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis of DNA fragments cloned into M13 vectors. Methods Enzymol. 100, 468-500; Kramer, W, Drutsa, V, Jansen, HW, Kramer, B, Pflugfelder, M, and Fritz, HJ (1984) The gapped duplex DNA approach to oligonucleotide-directed mutation construction. Nucleic Acids Res. 12, 9441-9456; Kramer W, and Fritz HJ (1987) By appropriately introducing mutations into the amino acid sequence of an antibody having binding activity to CD3, CD137, the T cell receptor complex, or CLDN6 using techniques such as oligonucleotide-directed construction of mutations via gapped duplex DNA Methods. Enzymol. 154, 350-367; Kunkel, TA (1985) Rapid and efficient site-specific mutagenesis without phenotypic selection. Proc Natl Acad Sci US A. 82, 488-492), mutant multispecific antigen-binding molecules containing a combination of antibody variable regions that is functionally equivalent to the combination of antibody variable regions of the original multispecific antigen-binding molecule can be prepared.Here, in the present invention, "functionally equivalent" means that the binding affinity to an antigen is equivalent, or, when used as a multispecific antigen-binding molecule, the cytotoxic activity against cells expressing claudin 6 or tissues containing said cells is equivalent. The binding affinity and cytotoxic activity can be measured based on the description in this specification, and will be described in detail below.

[0097] There is no limit to the number of amino acids to be modified, but it may be, for example, 40 or less, 30 or less, 20 or less, preferably 18 or less, 16 or less, 15 or less, 12 or less, 10 or less, 9 or less, 8 or less, 7 or less, 6 or less, 5 or less, 4 or less, 3 or less, or 2 or less.

[0098] When modifying an amino acid residue, it is desirable to mutate it to another amino acid that conserves the properties of the amino acid side chain. For example, the properties of the amino acid side chain include hydrophobic amino acids (A, I, L, M, F, P, W, Y, V), hydrophilic amino acids (R, D, N, C, E, Q, G, H, K, S, T), amino acids with aliphatic side chains (G, A, V, L, I, P), amino acids with hydroxyl-containing side chains (S, T, Y), amino acids with sulfur atom-containing side chains (C, M), amino acids with carboxylic acid and amide-containing side chains (D, N, E, Q), amino acids with base-containing side chains (R, K, H), and amino acids with aromatic side chains (H, F, Y, W) (each of the parentheses represents the one-letter code of the amino acid). Substitution of amino acids within each of these groups is called conservative substitution. It is already known that a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence modified by deletion, addition and / or substitution of one or more amino acid residues with other amino acids retains its biological activity (Mark, DF et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA (1984) 81:5662-6; Zoller, MJ and Smith, M., Nucleic Acids Res. (1982) 10:6487-500; Wang, A. et al., Science (1984) 224:1431-3; Dalbadie-McFarland, G. et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA (1982) 79:6409-13).

[0099] antigen The term "antigen" as used herein refers to a site on a polypeptide macromolecule to which an antigen-binding moiety binds (e.g., a three-dimensional structure composed of a continuous stretch of amino acids or a discrete region of non-contiguous amino acids) to form an antigen-binding moiety-antigen complex. Useful antigenic determinants can be found, for example, on the surface of tumor cells, on the surface of virus-infected cells, on the surface of other diseased cells, on the surface of immune cells, free in serum, and / or in the extracellular matrix (ECM). Unless otherwise indicated, the proteins (e.g., CD3, CD137, CLDN6) referred to herein as antigens can be any native form of the protein from any vertebrate source, including mammals such as primates (e.g., humans) and rodents (e.g., mice and rats). In certain embodiments, the antigen is human CD3, human CD137, or human CLDN6. When reference is made herein to a particular protein, the term encompasses the "full-length," unprocessed protein, as well as any form of the protein that results from processing in the cell. The term also encompasses naturally occurring variants of the protein, such as splice variants or allelic variants.

[0100] In certain embodiments, the multispecific antigen-binding molecules described herein bind to epitopes of CD3, CD137, or CLDN6 that are conserved among different species of CD3, CD137, or CLDN6. In certain embodiments, the multispecific antigen-binding molecules of the present application are trispecific antigen-binding molecules, i.e., trispecific antigen-binding molecules that can specifically bind to three different antigens, i.e., can bind to CD3 and CD137, but not both antigens simultaneously, and can specifically bind to CLDN6.

[0101] Claudin 6 (CLDN6) and other claudin family proteins As used herein, the term "CLDN6" refers to any native claudin6 from any vertebrate source, including mammals such as primates (e.g., humans) and rodents (e.g., mice and rats), unless otherwise indicated. The amino acid sequence of human CLDN6 (hCLDN6) is shown in SEQ ID NO: 196 or 197, and the amino acid sequence of mouse CLDN6 (mCLDN6) is shown in SEQ ID NO: 201.

[0102] Besides CLDN6, there are many other proteins in the claudin family, such as CLDN3, CLDN4, and CLDN9. The amino acid sequences of human CLDN3 (hCLDN3), human CLDN4 (hCLDN4), and human CLDN9 (hCLDN9) are shown in SEQ ID NOs: 199, 200, and 198, respectively. The amino acid sequences of mouse CLDN3 (mCLDN3), mouse CLDN4 (mCLDN4), and mouse CLDN9 (mCLDN9) are shown in SEQ ID NOs: 203, 204, and 202, respectively.

[0103] CD3 In certain embodiments, the multispecific antigen-binding molecule specifically binds to the whole or part of a partial peptide of CD3. In certain embodiments, the CD3 is human CD3 or cynomolgus CD3, particularly human CD3. In certain embodiments, the multispecific antigen-binding molecule is cross-reactive with (i.e., specifically binds to) human CD3 and cynomolgus CD3. In some embodiments, the multispecific antigen-binding molecule can specifically bind to the ε subunit of CD3, particularly the human CD3ε subunit of CD3 as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 170 (NP_000724.1) (RefSeq accession number in parentheses). In some embodiments, the multispecific antigen-binding molecule can specifically bind to the CD3ε chain expressed on the surface of eukaryotic cells. In some embodiments, the multispecific antigen-binding molecule binds to the CD3ε chain expressed on the surface of T cells.

[0104] CD137 In certain embodiments, CD137 is human CD137. In some embodiments, suitable examples of antigen binding molecules of the present disclosure include antigen binding molecules that bind to the same epitope as the human CD137 epitope bound by an antibody selected from the group consisting of: An antibody recognizing a region including the sequence SPCPPNSFSSAGGQRTCDICRQCKGVFRTRKECSSTSNAECDCTPGFHCLGAGCSMCEQDCKQGQELTKKGC (SEQ ID NO: 182); An antibody recognizing a region including the sequence DCTPGFHCLGAGCSMCEQDCKQGQELTKKGC (SEQ ID NO: 181); An antibody that recognizes a region including the sequence LQDPCSNCPAGTFCDNNRNQICSPCPPNSFSSAGGQRTCDICRQCKGVFRTRKECSSTSNAEC (SEQ ID NO: 183), and An antibody that recognizes a region containing the sequence LQDPCSNCPAGTFCDNNRNQIC (sequence number: 180) in the human CD137 protein.

[0105] Antigen-binding domain The term "antigen-binding domain" refers to a part of an antibody that comprises an area that specifically binds to and is complementary to part or all of an antigen. An antigen-binding domain may be provided, for example, by one or more antibody variable domains (also called antibody variable regions). Preferably, an antigen-binding domain comprises both an antibody light chain variable region (VL) and an antibody heavy chain variable region (VH). Such preferred antigen-binding domains include, for example, "single-chain Fv (scFv)", "single-chain antibody", "Fv", "single-chain Fv2 (scFv2)", "Fab", and "F(ab')2". An antigen-binding domain may also be provided by a single-domain antibody.

[0106] Single Domain Antibodies As used herein, the term "single domain antibody" is not limited by its structure, as long as the domain can exhibit antigen-binding activity by itself. It is known that while a general antibody, for example an IgG antibody, exhibits antigen-binding activity when the variable region is formed by pairing VH and VL, the domain structure of a single domain antibody can exhibit antigen-binding activity by itself without pairing with another domain. Usually, a single domain antibody has a relatively low molecular weight and exists in the form of a monomer.

[0107] Examples of single domain antibodies include, but are not limited to, antigen-binding molecules such as camelid VHH and shark VNAR that are naturally devoid of light chains, and antibody fragments that contain the whole or part of an antibody VH domain or the whole or part of an antibody VL domain. Examples of single domain antibodies that are antibody fragments that contain the whole or part of an antibody VH domain or antibody VL domain include, but are not limited to, artificially prepared single domain antibodies originating from human antibody VH or human antibody VL, such as those described in U.S. Patent No. 6,248,516 B1. In some embodiments of the present invention, a single domain antibody has three types of CDRs (CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3).

[0108] Single domain antibodies can be obtained from animals capable of producing single domain antibodies or by immunization of animals capable of producing single domain antibodies. Examples of animals capable of producing single domain antibodies include, but are not limited to, camelids and transgenic animals carrying genes capable of producing single domain antibodies. Camelids include camels, llamas, alpacas, dromedaries, and guanacos. Examples of transgenic animals carrying genes capable of producing single domain antibodies include, but are not limited to, the transgenic animals described in International Publication No. WO2015 / 143414 and US Patent Publication No. US2011 / 0123527 A1. The framework sequences of the single domain antibodies obtained from the animals may be converted to human germline sequences or sequences similar thereto to obtain humanized single domain antibodies. Humanized single domain antibodies (e.g., humanized VHHs) are also an embodiment of the single domain antibodies of the present invention.

[0109] Alternatively, single domain antibodies can be obtained by ELISA or panning, etc., from a polypeptide library containing single domain antibodies. Examples of polypeptide libraries containing single domain antibodies include, but are not limited to, naive antibody libraries obtained from various animals or humans (e.g., Methods in Molecular Biology 2012 911 (65-78); and Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - Proteins and Proteomics 2006 1764: 8 (1307-1319)), antibody libraries obtained by immunization of various animals (e.g., Journal of Applied Microbiology 2014 117: 2 (528-536)), and synthetic antibody libraries prepared from antibody genes of various animals or humans (e.g., Journal of Biomolecular Screening 2016 21: 1 (35-43); Journal of Biological Chemistry 2016 291:24 (12641-12657); and AIDS 2016 30: 11 (1691-1701) are among the most famous.

[0110] Variable region The term "variable region" or "variable domain" refers to the domain of an antibody's heavy or light chain that is involved in binding the antibody to an antigen. The heavy and light chain variable domains (VH and VL, respectively) of natural antibodies usually have a similar structure, with each domain containing four conserved framework regions (FR) and three hypervariable regions (HVR). (See, for example, Kindt et al. Kuby Immunology, 6th ed., WH Freeman and Co., page 91 (2007).) One VH or VL domain may be sufficient to confer antigen-binding specificity. Furthermore, antibodies that bind to a particular antigen may be isolated by screening a complementary library of VL or VH domains, respectively, with a VH or VL domain from an antibody that binds to the antigen. See, e.g., Portolano et al., J. Immunol. 150:880-887 (1993); Clarkson et al., Nature 352:624-628 (1991).

[0111] HVR or CDR The term "hypervariable region" or "HVR" as used herein refers to each region of an antibody variable domain that is hypervariable in sequence ("complementarity determining region" or "CDR") and / or forms structurally defined loops ("hypervariable loops") and / or contains antigen contact residues ("antigen contacts"). Hypervariable regions (HVRs) are also referred to as "complementarity determining regions" (CDRs), and these terms are used interchangeably herein with respect to the portions of the variable regions that form the antigen binding region. Typically, antibodies contain six HVRs: three in the VH (H1, H2, H3) and three in the VL (L1, L2, L3). Exemplary HVRs herein include the following: (a) hypervariable loops occurring at amino acid residues 26-32 (L1), 50-52 (L2), 91-96 (L3), 26-32 (H1), 53-55 (H2), and 96-101 (H3) (Chothia and Lesk, J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917 (1987)); (b) CDRs occurring at amino acid residues 24-34 (L1), 50-56 (L2), 89-97 (L3), 31-35b (H1), 50-65 (H2), and 95-102 (H3) (Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD (1991)); (c) antigenic contacts occurring at amino acid residues 27c-36 (L1), 46-55 (L2), 89-96 (L3), 30-35b (H1), 47-58 (H2), and 93-101 (H3) (MacCallum et al. J. Mol. Biol. 262: 732-745 (1996)); and (d) combinations of (a), (b), and / or (c), comprising HVR amino acid residues 46-56 (L2), 47-56 (L2), 48-56 (L2), 49-56 (L2), 26-35 (H1), 26-35b (H1), 49-65 (H2), 93-102 (H3), and 94-102 (H3).

[0112] Unless otherwise indicated, HVR residues and other residues in the variable domain (eg, FR residues) are numbered herein according to Kabat et al., supra.

[0113] HVR-H1, HVR-H2, HVR-H3, HVR-L1, HVR-L2, and HVR-L3 are also referred to as "H-CDR1", "H-CDR2", "H-CDR3", "L-CDR1", "L-CDR2", and "L-CDR3", respectively.

[0114] Able to bind to CD3 and CD137 Whether an antibody variable region of the disclosure is "capable of binding to CD3 and CD137" can be determined by methods known in the art.

[0115] This can be determined, for example, by electrochemiluminescence (ECL) (BMC Research Notes 2011, 4:281).

[0116] Specifically, for example, a region of a biotin-labeled test antigen-binding molecule capable of binding to CD3 and CD137, such as a low molecular weight antibody composed of a Fab region, or a monovalent antibody thereof (an antibody lacking one of the two Fab regions that a normal antibody has) is mixed with CD3 or CD137 labeled with a sulfo-tag (Ru complex), and the mixture is added onto a streptavidin-immobilized plate. In this operation, the biotin-labeled test antigen-binding molecule binds to streptavidin on the plate. Light is generated from the sulfo-tag, and the luminescence signal is detected using a Sector Imager 600 or 2400 (MSD KK), etc., thereby confirming the binding of the above-mentioned region of the test antigen-binding molecule to CD3 or CD137.

[0117] Alternatively, the assay may be performed by ELISA, FACS (fluorescence activated cell sorting), ALPHAScreen (amplified luminescence proximity homogeneous assay screen), BIACORE method based on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) phenomenon, etc. (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA (2006) 103 (11), 4005-4010).

[0118] Specifically, the assay can be performed using, for example, Biacore (GE Healthcare Japan Corp.), an interaction analysis instrument based on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) phenomenon. Biacore analysis instruments include any model such as Biacore T100, T200, X100, A100, 4000, 3000, 2000, 1000, or C. Any Biacore sensor chip, such as CM7, CM5, CM4, CM3, C1, SA, NTA, L1, HPA, or Au chip, can be used as the sensor chip. Proteins for capturing the antigen-binding molecules of the present disclosure, such as protein A, protein G, protein L, anti-human IgG antibody, anti-human IgG-Fab, anti-human L chain antibody, anti-human Fc antibody, antigen protein, or antigen peptide, are immobilized on the sensor chip by a coupling method such as amine coupling, disulfide coupling, or aldehyde coupling. CD3 or CD137 is injected thereon as an analyte, and the interaction is measured to obtain a sensorgram. In this procedure, the concentration of CD3 or CD137 can be selected within the range of several μM to several pM according to the strength of the interaction (eg, KD) of the assay sample.

[0119] Alternatively, CD3 or CD137 may be immobilized on a sensor chip instead of an antigen-binding molecule, and then the antibody sample to be evaluated may be allowed to interact with it. Whether the antibody variable region of the antigen-binding molecule of the present disclosure has binding activity to CD3 or CD137 can be confirmed based on the dissociation constant (KD) value calculated from the sensorgram of the interaction, or based on the degree of increase in the sensorgram after the action of the antigen-binding molecule sample over the level before the action. In some embodiments, the binding activity or affinity of the antibody variable region of the present disclosure to the antigen of interest (i.e., CD3 or CD137) is evaluated at 37°C (for CD137) or 25°C (for CD3), for example, using a Biacore T200 instrument (GE Healthcare) or a Biacore 8K instrument (GE Healthcare). Anti-human Fc (e.g., GE Healthcare) is immobilized on all flow cells of a CM4 sensor chip using an amine coupling kit (e.g., GE Healthcare). Antigen-binding molecules or antibody variable regions are captured on the anti-Fc sensor surface, and then antigen (CD3 or CD137) is injected onto the flow cell. The capture level of antigen-binding molecules or antibody variable regions may aim for 200 resonance units (RU). Recombinant human CD3 or CD137 may be injected at 400-25 nM prepared by two-fold serial dilution, followed by dissociation. All antigen-binding molecules or antibody variable regions and analytes are prepared in ACES pH 7.4 containing 20 mM ACES, 150 mM NaCl, 0.05% Tween 20, 0.005% NaN3. The sensor surface is regenerated with 3 M MgCl2 every cycle. Binding affinity is determined by processing the data and fitting to a 1:1 binding model, for example, using Biacore T200 Evaluation software, version 2.0 (GE Healthcare) or Biacore 8K Evaluation software (GE Healthcare). To assess the specific binding activity or affinity of an antigen-binding domain of the disclosure, a KD value is calculated.

[0120] ALPHAScreen is implemented by ALPHA technology using two types of beads (donor and acceptor) based on the following principle: a luminescence signal is detected only when a biological interaction between a molecule bound to a donor bead and a molecule bound to an acceptor bead brings these two beads in close proximity. A photosensitizer in the donor bead excited by a laser converts ambient oxygen into excited singlet oxygen. The singlet oxygen diffuses around the donor bead and reaches the acceptor bead located in close proximity to it, thereby triggering a chemiluminescence reaction in the bead, which ultimately emits light. In the absence of an interaction between the molecules bound to the donor bead and the molecules bound to the acceptor bead, the singlet oxygen produced by the donor bead does not reach the acceptor bead. Therefore, no chemiluminescence reaction occurs.

[0121] One of the substances (ligand) whose interaction is to be observed is immobilized on the gold film of the sensor chip. Light is applied from the back of the sensor chip so that total reflection occurs at the interface between the gold film and the glass. As a result, a region of reduced reflection intensity (SPR signal) is formed in part of the reflected light. The other substance (analyte) whose interaction is to be observed is injected onto the surface of the sensor chip. When the analyte binds to the ligand, the mass of the immobilized ligand molecule increases, causing a change in the refractive index of the solvent on the sensor chip surface. This change in refractive index shifts the position of the SPR signal (conversely, when the bound molecule dissociates, the signal returns to its original position). The Biacore system plots the amount of shift, i.e., the change in mass on the sensor chip surface, on the ordinate, and displays the time-dependent change in mass as assay data (sensorgram). The amount of analyte bound to the ligand captured on the sensor chip surface (the amount of change in response on the sensorgram before and after the analyte is allowed to interact) can be determined from the sensorgram. However, the amount of binding also depends on the amount of ligand, so comparisons must be made under conditions using substantially the same amount of ligand. Kinetics, i.e., association rate constant (ka) and dissociation rate constant (kd), can be determined from the curve of the sensorgram, while affinity (KD) can be determined from the ratio of these constants. Inhibition assays are also suitable for use in the BIACORE method. An example of inhibition assay is described in Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA (2006) 103 (11), 4005-4010.

[0122] Does not bind CD3 and CD137 (4-1BB) simultaneously As described above, binding to either CD3 or CD137 includes not binding to CD3 and CD137(4-1BB) at the same time. The term "not binding to CD3 and CD137(4-1BB) at the same time" or "not binding to CD3 and CD137(4-1BB) at the same time" means that the antigen-binding portion or antibody variable region of the present disclosure cannot bind to CD137 when bound to CD3, and conversely, the antigen-binding portion or antibody variable region cannot bind to CD3 when bound to CD137. Here, the phrase "not binding to CD3 and CD137 at the same time" also includes not cross-linking cells expressing CD3 and cells expressing CD137, or not binding to CD3 and CD137 simultaneously, each of which is expressed on a different cell. Such antibody variable regions are not particularly limited as long as they have these functions. Examples of such antibodies include a variable region derived from an IgG antibody variable region, in which some of the amino acids have been modified to bind to a desired antigen. The modified amino acids are selected from, for example, amino acids in an antibody variable region that binds to CD3 or CD137, whose modification does not abolish the binding to the antigen.

[0123] Here, the phrase "expressed on different cells" simply means that the antigens are expressed on separate cells. Such a combination of cells may be of the same type, for example a T cell and another T cell, or may be of different types, for example a T cell and an NK cell.

[0124] Whether or not the multispecific antigen-binding molecule contained in the anticancer agent, pharmaceutical composition, combination, or kit of the present disclosure, or used in the method or use of the present disclosure, "binds to either CD3 or CD137" upon antigen binding can be confirmed by confirming that the antigen-binding molecule has binding activity to both CD3 and CD137; then, pre-binding either CD3 or CD137 to an antigen-binding molecule containing a variable region having this binding activity; and then determining the presence or absence of its binding activity to the other by the above-mentioned method. Alternatively, this can also be confirmed by determining whether the binding of the antigen-binding molecule to either CD3 or CD137 immobilized on an ELISA plate or a sensor chip is inhibited by the addition of the other in the solution. In some embodiments, the binding of the antigen-binding molecule of the present disclosure to either CD3 or CD137 is inhibited by the binding of the antigen-binding molecule to the other by at least 50%, preferably 60% or more, more preferably 70% or more, more preferably 80% or more, even more preferably 90% or more, or even more preferably 95% or more.

[0125] In one aspect, while one antigen (e.g., CD3) is immobilized, the inhibition of binding of the antigen-binding molecule to CD3 can be determined in the presence of another antigen (e.g., CD137) by a method known in the prior art (i.e., ELISA, BIACORE, etc.). In another aspect, while CD137 is immobilized, the inhibition of binding of the antigen-binding molecule to CD137 can also be determined in the presence of CD3. If the binding is inhibited by at least 50%, preferably 60% or more, preferably 70% or more, more preferably 80% or more, even more preferably 90% or more, or even more preferably 95% or more when any one of the above two aspects is performed, it is determined that the antigen-binding molecule of the present disclosure does not bind to CD3 and CD137 simultaneously.

[0126] In some embodiments, the concentration of the antigen injected as the analyte is at least 1-fold, 2-fold, 5-fold, 10-fold, 30-fold, 50-fold, or 100-fold higher than the concentration of the other antigen that is immobilized.

[0127] In a preferred mode, the concentration of the antigen injected as analyte is 100-fold higher than the concentration of the other antigen that is immobilized, and binding is inhibited by at least 80%.

[0128] In one embodiment, the ratio of the KD value for the CD3 (analyte) binding activity of the antigen-binding molecule to the KD value for the CD137 (immobilized) binding activity of the antigen-binding molecule (KD(CD3) / KD(CD137)) is calculated, and a CD3 (analyte) concentration that is 10 times, 50 times, 100 times, or 200 times higher than the CD137 (immobilized) concentration by the KD value ratio (KD(CD3) / KD(CD137)) can be used for the above-mentioned competitive measurement. (For example, when the KD value ratio is 0.1, a concentration that is 1 times, 5 times, 10 times, or 20 times higher can be selected. Furthermore, when the KD value ratio is 10, a concentration that is 100 times, 500 times, 1000 times, or 2000 times higher can be selected.)

[0129] In one aspect, while one antigen (e.g., CD3) is immobilized, the attenuation of the binding signal of the antigen-binding molecule to CD3 can be determined in the presence of another antigen (e.g., CD137) by a method known in the prior art (i.e., ELISA, ECL, etc.). In another aspect, while CD137 is immobilized, the attenuation of the binding signal of the antigen-binding molecule to CD137 can also be determined in the presence of CD3. If the binding signal is attenuated by at least 50%, preferably 60% or more, preferably 70% or more, more preferably 80% or more, even more preferably 90% or more, or even more preferably 95% or more when any one of the above two aspects is performed, it is determined that the antigen-binding molecule of the present disclosure does not bind to CD3 and CD137 simultaneously.

[0130] In some embodiments, the concentration of the antigen injected as the analyte is at least 1-fold, 2-fold, 5-fold, 10-fold, 30-fold, 50-fold, or 100-fold higher than the concentration of the other antigen that is immobilized.

[0131] In a preferred mode, the concentration of the antigen injected as analyte is 100-fold higher than the concentration of the other antigen that is immobilized, and binding is inhibited by at least 80%.

[0132] In one embodiment, the ratio of the KD value for the CD3 (analyte) binding activity of the antigen-binding molecule to the KD value for the CD137 (immobilized) binding activity of the antigen-binding molecule (KD(CD3) / KD(CD137)) is calculated, and a CD3 (analyte) concentration that is 10 times, 50 times, 100 times, or 200 times higher than the CD137 (immobilized) concentration by the KD value ratio (KD(CD3) / KD(CD137)) can be used for the above measurement. (For example, when the KD value ratio is 0.1, a concentration that is 1 times, 5 times, 10 times, or 20 times higher can be selected. Furthermore, when the KD value ratio is 10, a concentration that is 100 times, 500 times, 1000 times, or 2000 times higher can be selected.)

[0133] Specifically, for example, when using the ECL method, prepare a biotin-labeled test antigen-binding molecule, CD3 labeled with a sulfo-tag (Ru complex), and unlabeled CD137. If the test antigen-binding molecule can bind to CD3 and CD137, and binds to either CD3 or CD137, add the mixture of the test antigen-binding molecule and labeled CD3 onto a streptavidin-immobilized plate, and then detect the luminescence signal of the sulfo-tag in the absence of unlabeled CD137 by luminescence. In contrast, the luminescence signal decreases in the presence of unlabeled CD137. The decrease in the luminescence signal can be quantified to determine the relative binding activity. This analysis can be performed similarly using labeled CD137 and unlabeled CD3.

[0134] In the case of ALPHAScreen, the test antigen-binding molecule interacts with CD3 in the absence of competing CD137 to generate a signal at 520-620 nm. Untagged CD137 competes with CD3 for interaction with the test antigen-binding molecule. The decrease in fluorescence caused as a result of the competition can be quantified, thereby determining the relative binding activity. Biotinylation of polypeptides using sulfo-NHS-biotin or the like is known in the art. For example, CD3 can be tagged with GST by an appropriately adopted method, including fusing a polynucleotide encoding CD3 with a polynucleotide encoding GST in frame; and expressing the resulting fusion gene by a cell carrying a vector capable of expressing it, and then purifying it using a glutathione column. The obtained signal is preferably analyzed using, for example, the software GRAPHPAD PRISM (GraphPad Software, Inc., San Diego) adapted to a one-site competition model based on nonlinear regression analysis. This analysis can be performed similarly using tagged CD137 and untagged CD3.

[0135] Alternatively, a method using fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) may be used. FRET is a phenomenon in which excitation energy is directly transferred between two fluorescent molecules located in close proximity to each other due to electronic resonance. When FRET occurs, the excitation energy of a donor (a fluorescent molecule having an excited state) is transferred to an acceptor (another fluorescent molecule located near the donor), so that the fluorescence emitted from the donor is quenched (more precisely, the fluorescence lifetime is shortened), and instead, fluorescence is emitted from the acceptor. By using this phenomenon, it is possible to analyze whether or not an antibody binds to CD3 and CD137 simultaneously. For example, when CD3 having a fluorescent donor and CD137 having a fluorescent acceptor simultaneously bind to a test antigen-binding molecule, the fluorescence of the donor is quenched, while fluorescence is emitted from the acceptor. Therefore, a change in the fluorescence wavelength is observed. Such an antibody is confirmed to bind to CD3 and CD137 simultaneously. On the other hand, if mixing of CD3, CD137, and the test antigen-binding molecule does not change the fluorescence wavelength of the fluorescent donor bound to CD3, the test antigen-binding molecule can bind to CD3 and CD137 and can be considered as an antigen-binding domain that binds to either CD3 or CD137.

[0136] For example, a biotin-labeled test antigen-binding molecule is bound to streptavidin on donor beads, while CD3 tagged with glutathione S-transferase (GST) is bound to acceptor beads. The test antigen-binding molecule interacts with CD3 in the absence of a competing second antigen to generate a signal at 520 to 620 nm. The untagged second antigen competes with CD3 for interaction with the test antigen-binding molecule. The decrease in fluorescence caused as a result of the competition can be quantified, thereby determining the relative binding activity. Biotinylation of polypeptides using sulfo-NHS-biotin or the like is known in the art. For example, CD3 can be tagged with GST by an appropriately adopted method, including fusing a polynucleotide encoding CD3 with a polynucleotide encoding GST in frame; and expressing the resulting fusion gene by a cell carrying a vector capable of expressing it, and then purifying it using a glutathione column. The resulting signals are preferably analyzed using the software GRAPHPAD PRISM (GraphPad Software, Inc., San Diego), for example, fitted to a one-site competition model based on nonlinear regression analysis.

[0137] Tagging is not limited to GST tagging, and may be performed with any tag, including but not limited to histidine tag, MBP, CBP, Flag tag, HA tag, V5 tag, c-myc tag, etc. Binding of the test antigen-binding molecule to the donor bead is not limited to binding using biotin-streptavidin reaction. In particular, when the test antigen-binding molecule contains Fc, possible methods include binding the test antigen-binding molecule via Fc-recognizing protein such as protein A or protein G on the donor bead.

[0138] The inability to simultaneously bind CD3 and CD137 expressed on different cells can also be assayed by methods known in the art.

[0139] Specifically, the test antigen-binding molecule confirmed to be positive in ECL-ELISA for detecting simultaneous binding to CD3 and CD137 is also mixed with cells expressing CD3 and cells expressing CD137. It can be shown that the test antigen-binding molecule cannot simultaneously bind to CD3 and CD137 expressed on different cells unless the antigen-binding molecule and these cells simultaneously bind to each other. This assay can be carried out, for example, by cell-based ECL-ELISA. Cells expressing CD3 are immobilized on a plate in advance. After the test antigen-binding molecule is bound to it, cells expressing CD137 are added to the plate. Different antigens expressed only on cells expressing CD137 are detected using an antibody labeled with a sulfo-tag against this antigen. If the antigen-binding molecule simultaneously binds to two antigens expressed on two cells, respectively, a signal is observed. If the antigen-binding molecule does not simultaneously bind to these antigens, no signal is observed.

[0140] Alternatively, this assay can be carried out by the ALPHAScreen method. The test antigen-binding molecule is mixed with the cells expressing CD3 bound to donor beads and the cells expressing CD137 bound to acceptor beads. If the antigen-binding molecule binds to the two antigens expressed on the two cells at the same time, a signal is observed. If the antigen-binding molecule does not bind to these antigens at the same time, no signal is observed.

[0141] Alternatively, this assay may be performed by Octet interaction analysis. First, cells expressing peptide-tagged CD3 are bound to a biosensor that recognizes the peptide tag. Cells expressing CD137 and a test antigen-binding molecule are placed in a well and analyzed for interaction. If the antigen-binding molecule simultaneously binds to two antigens expressed on two cells, respectively, a large wavelength shift caused by the binding of the test antigen-binding molecule and the cells expressing CD137 to the biosensor is observed. If the antigen-binding molecule does not simultaneously bind to these antigens, a small wavelength shift caused by the binding of only the test antigen-binding molecule to the biosensor is observed.

[0142] Instead of these methods based on binding activity, an assay based on biological activity may be performed. For example, cells expressing CD3 and cells expressing CD137 are mixed and cultured with a test antigen-binding molecule. Two antigens expressed on the two cells, respectively, are mutually activated through the test antigen-binding molecule when the antigen-binding molecule simultaneously binds to these two antigens. Therefore, a change in activation signal, such as an increase in phosphorylation level downstream of each of the antigens, can be detected. Alternatively, the production of cytokines is induced as a result of activation. Therefore, the amount of cytokines produced can be measured, thereby confirming whether or not they bind to the two cells simultaneously. Alternatively, cytotoxic activity against cells expressing CD137 is induced as a result of activation. Alternatively, the expression of a reporter gene is induced by a promoter that is activated downstream of the signal transduction pathway of CD137 or CD3 as a result of activation. Therefore, the cytotoxic activity or the amount of reporter protein produced can be measured, thereby confirming whether or not they bind to the two cells simultaneously.

[0143] The multispecific antigen-binding molecule contained in the anticancer agent, pharmaceutical composition, combination, or kit of the present disclosure, or used in the method or use of the present disclosure, does not bind to CD3 and CD137 simultaneously (i.e., does not bind to CD3 and CD137 simultaneously), so that the same antigen-binding molecule does not bind to CD3 and / or CD137 expressed on different immune cells (e.g., T cells) simultaneously, thereby avoiding toxicity caused by undesirable cross-linking between different immune cells that is thought to be responsible for adverse reactions when a conventional multispecific antigen-binding molecule that can simultaneously bind to CD3 and a second molecule (e.g., CD137) expressed on T cells is administered in vivo. The toxicity of the multispecific antigen-binding molecule when administered in vivo can be measured by cytokine production, etc. Low toxicity refers to the absence of immune activation induction, such as CLDN6-independent cytokine production, when compared to a control multispecific antibody.

[0144] Fab molecules A "Fab molecule" refers to a protein consisting of the VH and CH1 domains of an immunoglobulin heavy chain (a "Fab heavy chain") and the VL and CL domains of a light chain (a "Fab light chain").

[0145] To be fused "Fused" means that the components (eg, a Fab molecule and an Fc domain subunit) are linked by a peptide bond, either directly or via one or more peptide linkers.

[0146] "Crossover" Fab A "crossover" Fab molecule (also called "Crossfab") refers to a Fab molecule in which either the variable or constant regions of the Fab heavy and Fab light chains are exchanged, i.e., the crossover Fab molecule comprises a peptide chain composed of a light chain variable region and a heavy chain constant region, and a peptide chain composed of a heavy chain variable region and a light chain constant region. For clarity, in a crossover Fab molecule in which the variable regions of the Fab light and Fab heavy chains are exchanged, the peptide chain comprising the heavy chain constant region is referred to herein as the "heavy chain" of the crossover Fab molecule. Conversely, in a crossover Fab molecule in which the constant regions of the Fab light and Fab heavy chains are exchanged, the peptide chain comprising the heavy chain variable region is referred to herein as the "heavy chain" of the crossover Fab molecule.

[0147] "Traditional" Fab In contrast, a "conventional" Fab molecule refers to a Fab molecule in its natural form, i.e., a Fab molecule that comprises a heavy chain (VH-CH1) composed of the variable and constant regions of the heavy chain, and a light chain (VL-CL) composed of the variable and constant regions of the light chain. The term "immunoglobulin molecule" refers to a protein that has the structure of a naturally occurring antibody. For example, immunoglobulins of the IgG class are heterotetrameric glycoproteins of about 150,000 daltons composed of two light chains and two heavy chains linked by disulfide bonds. Each heavy chain has, from the N-terminus to the C-terminus, a variable region (VH), also called the variable heavy chain domain or the heavy chain variable domain, followed by three constant domains (CH1, CH2, and CH3), also called the heavy chain constant region. Similarly, each light chain has, from the N-terminus to the C-terminus, a variable region (VL), also called the variable light chain domain or the light chain variable domain, followed by a constant light chain (CL) domain, also called the light chain constant region. The heavy chains of immunoglobulins may be assigned to one of five types, called α (IgA), δ (IgD), ε (IgE), γ (IgG), or μ (IgM), some of which may be further classified into subtypes, e.g., γ1 (IgG1), γ2 (IgG2), γ3 (IgG3), γ4 (IgG4), α1 (IgA1), and α2 (IgA2). The light chains of immunoglobulins may be assigned to one of two types, called κ and λ, based on the amino acid sequence of their constant domains. Immunoglobulins essentially consist of two Fab molecules and an Fc domain linked via an immunoglobulin hinge region.

[0148] affinity "Affinity" refers to the strength of the total non-covalent interactions between one binding site of a molecule (e.g., an antigen-binding molecule or an antibody) and the binding partner of the molecule (e.g., an antigen). Unless otherwise indicated, "binding affinity" as used herein refers to the inherent binding affinity that reflects a 1:1 interaction between members of a binding pair (e.g., an antigen-binding molecule and an antigen, or an antibody and an antigen). The affinity of a molecule X to its partner Y can generally be expressed by a dissociation constant (KD), which is the ratio of the dissociation rate constant to the association rate constant (koff and kon, respectively). Thus, equivalent affinities may include different rate constants, as long as the ratio of the rate constants remains the same. Affinity can be measured by established methods known in the art, including those described herein. A specific method for measuring affinity is surface plasmon resonance (SPR).

[0149] Methods for determining affinity In certain embodiments, the antigen-binding molecules or antibodies provided herein have a binding affinity to their antigen of ≦1 μM, ≦120 nM, ≦100 nM, ≦80 nM, ≦70 nM, ≦50 nM, ≦40 nM, ≦30 nM, ≦20 nM, ≦10 nM, ≦2 nM, ≦1 nM, ≦0.1 nM, ≦0.01 nM or ≦0.001 nM (e.g., 10 -8 M or less, 10 -8 M~10 -13 M, 10 -9 M~10 -13 In certain embodiments, the KD value of the antibody / antigen-binding molecule for CD3, CD137, or CLDN6 falls within the range of 1-40, 1-50, 1-70, 1-80, 30-50, 30-70, 30-80, 40-70, 40-80, or 60-80 nM.

[0150] In one embodiment, KD is measured by radiolabeled antigen binding assay (RIA). In one embodiment, RIA is performed using a Fab version of the antibody of interest and its antigen. For example, the solution binding affinity of the Fab for the antigen is determined by measuring the binding affinity of the Fab to the antigen at the lowest concentration ( 125 I) Fab is equilibrated with labeled antigen, and then bound antigen is captured by a plate coated with anti-Fab antibody. (See, e.g., Chen et al., J. Mol. Biol. 293:865-881(1999)). To establish the measurement conditions, MICROTITER® multi-well plates (Thermo Scientific) are coated overnight with 5 μg / ml of capture anti-Fab antibody (Cappel Labs) in 50 mM sodium carbonate (pH 9.6), and then blocked with 2% (w / v) bovine serum albumin in PBS for 2-5 hours at room temperature (approximately 23°C). In non-adsorbent plates (Nunc #269620), 100 pM or 26 pM of [ 125 I]-antigen is mixed with serial dilutions of the Fab of interest (e.g., as in the evaluation of the anti-VEGF antibody, Fab-12, in Presta et al., Cancer Res. 57:4593-4599 (1997)). The Fab of interest is then incubated overnight, although the incubation can be continued for longer (e.g., about 65 hours) to ensure that equilibrium is reached. The mixture is then transferred to a capture plate for incubation at room temperature (e.g., 1 hour). The solution is then removed and the plate is washed 8 times with 0.1% polysorbate 20 (TWEEN-20®) in PBS. Once the plate has dried, 150 μl / well of scintillant (MICROSCINT-20™, Packard) is added and the plate is counted for 10 minutes in a TOPCOUNT™ gamma counter (Packard). The concentration of each Fab that gives 20% or less of maximum binding is selected for use in the competitive binding assay.

[0151] In another embodiment, Kd is measured using a BIACORE® surface plasmon resonance assay. For example, measurements using a BIACORE®-2000 or BIACORE®-3000 (BIAcore, Inc., Piscataway, NJ) are performed at 25° C. using a CM5 chip with approximately 10 response units (RU) of antigen immobilized. In one embodiment, a carboxymethylated dextran biosensor chip (CM5, BIACORE, Inc.) is activated with N-ethyl-N'-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) according to the supplier's instructions. The antigen is diluted to 5 μg / ml (approximately 0.2 μM) with 10 mM sodium acetate, pH 4.8, before being injected at a flow rate of 5 μl / min to achieve approximately 10 response units (RU) of protein binding. After injection of antigen, 1 M ethanolamine is injected to block unreacted groups. For kinetic measurements, two-fold serial dilutions of Fab (0.78 nM to 500 nM) are injected in PBS containing 0.05% polysorbate 20 (TWEEN-20™) surfactant (PBST) at 25° C. with a flow rate of approximately 25 μl / min. Association rates (k on ) and dissociation rate (k off ) is calculated by simultaneously fitting the association and dissociation sensorgrams with a simple one-to-one Langmuir binding model (BIACORE® Evaluation Software version 3.2). The equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) is k off / k on The on-rate is calculated as a ratio of 10 to 10 by the surface plasmon resonance assay described above. See, e.g., Chen et al., J. Mol. Biol. 293:865-881 (1999). 6 M -1 s -1If the on-rate exceeds , the on-rate can be determined by using a fluorescence quenching technique to measure the increase or decrease in fluorescence emission intensity (excitation = 295 nm; emission = 340 nm, band pass 16 nm) of 20 nM anti-antigen antibody (Fab form) in PBS, pH 7.2 at 25°C in the presence of increasing concentrations of antigen as measured in a spectrometer (e.g., a stopped-flow spectrophotometer (Aviv Instruments) or an 8000 series SLM-AMINCO™ spectrophotometer (ThermoSpectronic) using a stirred cuvette).

[0152] Following the above-described methods for measuring the affinity of an antigen-binding molecule or antibody, one skilled in the art can perform affinity measurements of other antigen-binding molecules or antibodies for various antigens.

[0153] antibody The term "antibody" is used herein in the broadest sense and encompasses a variety of antibody structures, including, but not limited to, monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies, trispecific antibodies), and antibody fragments, so long as they exhibit the desired antigen-binding activity.

[0154] In certain embodiments, the multispecific antibodies described herein bind to epitopes of CD3, CD137, or CLDN6 that are conserved among different species of CD3, CD137, or CLDN6. In certain embodiments, the multispecific antibodies of the present disclosure are trispecific antibodies, which are antibodies that can specifically bind to three different antigens. That is, in certain embodiments, the multispecific antibodies of the present disclosure are trispecific antibodies that can bind to CD3 and CD137, and can bind to either CD3 or CD137, i.e., they do not simultaneously bind to both CD3 and CD137 antigens, and can specifically bind to CLDN6.

[0155] Antibody classes The "class" of an antibody refers to the type of constant domain or region present in the antibody's heavy chain. There are five major classes of antibodies: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM. Some of these may be further divided into subclasses (isotypes), e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1, and IgA2. The heavy chain constant domains that correspond to the different classes of immunoglobulins are called α, δ, ε, γ, and μ, respectively.

[0156] Unless otherwise indicated, amino acid residues in the light chain constant region are numbered herein according to Kabat et al., and numbering of amino acid residues in the heavy chain constant region is according to the EU numbering system, also known as the EU index, as described in Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, 1991.

[0157] Framework "Framework" or "FR" refers to variable domain residues other than hypervariable region (HVR) residues. The FR of a variable domain typically consists of four FR domains: FR1, FR2, FR3, and FR4. Accordingly, the HVR and FR sequences typically appear in VH (or VL) in the following order: FR1-H1(L1)-FR2-H2(L2)-FR3-H3(L3)-FR4.

[0158] Human Consensus Framework A "human consensus framework" is a framework that represents the most commonly occurring amino acid residues in a selection of human immunoglobulin VL or VH framework sequences. Usually, the selection of human immunoglobulin VL or VH sequences is from a subgroup of variable domain sequences. Usually, the subgroup of sequences is a subgroup in Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Fifth Edition, NIH Publication 91-3242, Bethesda MD (1991), vols. 1-3. In one embodiment, for VL, the subgroup is subgroup kappa I according to Kabat et al., supra. In one embodiment, for VH, the subgroup is subgroup III according to Kabat et al., supra.

[0159] Chimeric antibodies The term "chimeric" antibody refers to an antibody in which a portion of the heavy and / or light chain is derived from a particular source or species, while the remainder of the heavy and / or light chain is derived from a different source or species. Similarly, the term "chimeric antibody variable domain" refers to an antibody variable region in which a portion of the heavy and / or light chain variable region is derived from a particular source or species, while the remainder of the heavy and / or light chain variable region is derived from a different source or species.

[0160] Humanized antibodies A "humanized" antibody refers to a chimeric antibody that contains amino acid residues from non-human HVRs and amino acid residues from human FRs. In certain embodiments, a humanized antibody contains substantially all of at least one, and typically two, variable domains, in which all or substantially all HVRs (e.g., CDRs) correspond to those of a non-human antibody and all or substantially all FRs correspond to those of a human antibody. A humanized antibody may optionally contain at least a portion of an antibody constant region derived from a human antibody. A "humanized form" of an antibody (e.g., a non-human antibody) refers to an antibody that has undergone humanization. A "humanized antibody variable region" refers to the variable region of a humanized antibody.

[0161] Human antibodies A "human antibody" is an antibody with an amino acid sequence that corresponds to that of an antibody produced by a human or human cell, or from a non-human source that uses a human antibody repertoire or other human antibody coding sequence. This definition of a human antibody specifically excludes humanized antibodies, which contain non-human antigen-binding residues. "Human antibody variable region" refers to the variable region of a human antibody.

[0162] Polynucleotides (nucleic acids) "Polynucleotide" or "nucleic acid", as used interchangeably herein, refers to a polymer of nucleotides of any length, including DNA and RNA. Nucleotides can be deoxyribonucleotides, ribonucleotides, modified nucleotides or bases, and / or their analogs, or any substance that can be incorporated into a polymer by DNA or RNA polymerase or by a synthetic reaction. Polynucleotides can include modified nucleotides, such as methylated nucleotides and their analogs. The sequence of nucleotides can be interrupted by non-nucleotide components. Polynucleotides can include modifications made after synthesis, such as conjugation to a label. Other types of modifications include, for example, "caps", substitution of one or more naturally occurring nucleotides with analogs, internucleotide modifications, such as those with uncharged linkages (e.g., methylphosphonates, phosphotriesters, phosphoramidates, carbamates, etc.) and charged linkages (e.g., phosphorothioates, phosphorodithioates, etc.), those containing pendant moieties such as proteins (e.g., nucleases, toxins, antibodies, signal peptides, poly-L-lysine, etc.), those with intercalating agents (e.g., acridine, psoralen, etc.), those containing chelating agents (e.g., metals, radioactive metals, boron, metal oxides, etc.), those containing alkylating agents, those with modified linkages (e.g., alpha anomeric nucleic acids, etc.) and unmodified forms of polynucleotides. Additionally, any hydroxyl groups normally present on the sugar can be replaced, for example, by phosphonate groups, phosphate groups, protected by standard protecting groups, or activated to generate additional linkages to additional nucleotides, or conjugated to solid or semi-solid supports. The 5' and 3' terminal OH can be phosphorylated or substituted with amines or organic capping group moieties of 1 to 20 carbon atoms. The other hydroxyls can also be derivatized to standard protecting groups.Polynucleotides may also contain analogous forms of ribose or deoxyribose sugars commonly known in the art, including, for example, 2'-O-methyl-, 2'-O-allyl-, 2'-fluoro-, or 2'-azido-ribose, carbocyclic sugar analogs, α-anomeric sugars, epimeric sugars such as arabinose or xylose or lyxose, pyranose sugars, furanose sugars, sedoheptulose, acyclic analogs, and basic nucleoside analogs such as methyl riboside. One or more phosphodiester bonds may be replaced by alternative linking groups. These alternative linking groups include, but are not limited to, embodiments in which the phosphate is replaced by the following: P(O)S ("thioate"), P(S)S ("dithioate"), (O)NR. 2 ("amidate"), P(O)R, P(O)OR', CO, or CH 2 ("formacetal"), where each R or R' is independently H or substituted or unsubstituted alkyl (1-20C), optionally including ether (-O-) linkages, aryl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, or araldyl. Not all linkages in a polynucleotide need be identical. The above description applies to all polynucleotides referred to herein, including RNA and DNA.

[0163] Isolated (nucleic acid) An "isolated" nucleic acid molecule refers to one that is separated from a component of its original environment. Isolated nucleic acid molecules further include nucleic acid molecules contained in cells that normally contain the nucleic acid molecule, but where the nucleic acid molecule is present extrachromosomally or in a chromosomal location that is different from its natural chromosomal location.

[0164] vector The term "vector" as used herein refers to a nucleic acid molecule that can propagate another nucleic acid to which it is linked. This term includes vectors as self-replicating nucleic acid structures and vectors that are integrated into the genome of a host cell to which it is introduced. A vector can cause the expression of a nucleic acid to which it is operatively linked. Such vectors are also referred to herein as "expression vectors." A vector can be introduced into a host cell using a virus or electroporation. However, the introduction of a vector is not limited to in vitro methods. For example, a vector can also be directly introduced into a subject using in vivo methods.

[0165] host cell The terms "host cell," "host cell line," and "host cell culture" are used interchangeably and refer to cells into which exogenous nucleic acid has been introduced, including the progeny of such cells. Host cells include "transformants" and "transformed cells," which include the originally transformed cell and progeny derived from that cell regardless of the number of passages. The progeny may not be completely identical in nucleic acid content to the parent cell and may contain mutations. Also included herein are mutant progeny that have the same function or biological activity as that for which the original transformed cell was screened or selected.

[0166] specificity "Specific" means that a molecule that specifically binds to one or more binding partners does not show any significant binding to molecules other than the partners. Furthermore, "specific" is also used when an antigen-binding site is specific to a particular epitope among multiple epitopes contained in an antigen. When an antigen-binding molecule specifically binds to an antigen, it is also described as "an antigen-binding molecule has / shows specificity for / to an antigen". When the epitope that an antigen-binding site binds to is contained in multiple different antigens, an antigen-binding molecule that contains the antigen-binding site can bind to various antigens that have the epitope.

[0167] antibody fragment "Antibody fragment" refers to a molecule other than a complete antibody that contains a portion of the complete antibody that binds to the antigen to which the complete antibody binds. Examples of antibody fragments include, but are not limited to, Fv, Fab, Fab', Fab'-SH, F(ab')2, diabodies, linear antibodies, single-chain antibody molecules (e.g., scFv), and single-domain antibodies. For a review of specific antibody fragments, see Hudson et al., Nat Med 9, 129-134 (2003). For a review of scFv fragments, see, for example, Pluckthun, in The Pharmacology of Monoclonal Antibodies, vol. 113, Rosenburg and Moore eds., Springer-Verlag, New York, pp.269-315 (1994); in addition, WO93 / 16185; and U.S. Patent Nos. 5,571,894 and 5,587,458. Fab and F(ab') containing salvaged receptor-binding epitope residues and have extended half-lives in vivo 2For a discussion of fragments, see U.S. Patent No. 5,869,046. Diabodies are antibody fragments with two antigen-binding sites that may be bivalent or bispecific. See, e.g., EP 404,097; WO 1993 / 01161; Hudson et al., Nat Med 9, 129-134 (2003); Hollinger et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 90, 6444-6448 (1993). Triabodies and tetrabodies are also described in Hudson et al., Nat Med 9, 129-134 (2003). Single-domain antibodies are antibody fragments that contain all or a portion of the heavy chain variable domain or all or a portion of the light chain variable domain of an antibody. In certain embodiments, the single domain antibody is a human single domain antibody (Domantis, Inc., Waltham, MA; see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 6,248,516 B1). Antibody fragments can be produced by a variety of techniques, including, but not limited to, proteolytic digestion of whole antibodies, production by recombinant host cells (e.g., E. coli or phage), as described herein.

[0168] Fragment variable (Fv) As used herein, the term "variable fragment (Fv)" refers to the minimum unit of an antibody-derived antigen-binding site consisting of a pair of an antibody light chain variable region (VL) and an antibody heavy chain variable region (VH). In 1988, Skerra and Pluckthun found that a homogeneous and active antibody can be prepared from the periplasmic fraction of E. coli by inserting an antibody gene downstream of a bacterial signal sequence and inducing expression of the gene in E. coli (Science (1988) 240 (4855), 1038-1041). In the Fv prepared from the periplasmic fraction, VH and VL are associated in such a manner that they bind to antigens.

[0169] scFv, single chain antibodies, and sc(Fv) 2 As used herein, the terms "scFv," "single chain antibody," and "sc(Fv) 2 " refers to a single polypeptide chain antibody fragment that contains the variable regions from the heavy and light chains but does not contain the constant region. Generally, single chain antibodies further contain a polypeptide linker between the VH and VL domains that allows the formation of the desired structure that would allow antigen binding. Single chain antibodies are discussed in detail by Pluckthun in "The Pharmacology of Monoclonal Antibodies, Vol. 113, Rosenburg and Moore, eds., Springer-Verlag, New York, 269-315 (1994)". See also International Publication WO1988 / 001649, U.S. Patent Nos. 4,946,778 and 5,260,203. In certain embodiments, single chain antibodies can be bispecific and / or humanized.

[0170] scFv is a single chain low molecular weight antibody in which the VH and VL that form the Fv are linked together by a peptide linker (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA (1988) 85 (16), 5879-5883). The peptide linker can hold the VH and VL in close proximity. sc(Fv) 2 is a single-chain antibody in which four variable regions, two VL and two VH, are linked by a linker such as a peptide linker to form a single chain (J Immunol. Methods (1999) 231 (1-2), 177-189). The two VH and two VL may be derived from different monoclonal antibodies. Such sc(Fv) 2 Examples of such antibodies include bispecific sc(Fv) antibodies that recognize two epitopes present in a single antigen, as disclosed in Journal of Immunology (1994) 152 (11), 5368-5374. 2 Preferred examples include sc(Fv). 2 can be produced by methods known to those skilled in the art. For example, sc(Fv) 2can be produced by linking scFvs with a linker, such as a peptide linker.

[0171] As used herein, sc(Fv) 2 comprises two VH units and two VL units arranged in the following order, starting from the N-terminus of the single-chain polypeptide: VH, VL, VH, VL ([VH]-linker-[VL]-linker-[VH]-linker-[VL]). The order of the two VH units and the two VL units is not limited to the above configuration, and they may be arranged in any order. Examples of configurations are listed below. [VL]-linker-[VH]-linker-[VH]-linker-[VL] [VH]-linker-[VL]-linker-[VL]-linker-[VH] [VH]-linker-[VH]-linker-[VL]-linker-[VL] [VL]-linker-[VL]-linker-[VH]-linker-[VH] [VL]-linker-[VH]-linker-[VL]-linker-[VH]

[0172] sc(Fv) 2 The molecular form of sc(Fv) is also described in detail in WO2006 / 132352. Those skilled in the art can follow these descriptions to select the desired sc(Fv) to produce the polypeptide complex disclosed herein. 2 can be appropriately prepared. Furthermore, a carrier polymer such as PEG or an organic compound such as an anticancer drug may be conjugated to the antigen-binding molecule or antibody of the present disclosure. Alternatively, a glycosylation sequence is suitably inserted into the antigen-binding molecule or antibody so that the glycosylation exerts the desired effect.

[0173] Linkers used to link the variable regions of antibodies include any peptide linker that can be introduced by genetic engineering, synthetic linkers, and linkers disclosed in, for example, Protein Engineering, 9 (3), 299-305, 1996. However, in the present disclosure, peptide linkers are preferred. The length of the peptide linker is not particularly limited, and can be appropriately selected by those skilled in the art depending on the purpose. The length is preferably 5 amino acids or more (although not particularly limited, the upper limit is usually 30 amino acids or less, preferably 20 amino acids or less), and is particularly preferably 15 amino acids. sc(Fv) 2 When three peptide linkers are included in the amino acid sequence, they may all be the same or different in length.

[0174] For example, such peptide linkers include: Ser, Gly-Ser, Gly-Gly-Ser, Ser-Gly-Gly, Gly-Gly-Gly-Ser (SEQ ID NO: 171), Ser-Gly-Gly-Gly (SEQ ID NO: 172), Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Ser (SEQ ID NO: 173), Ser-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly (SEQ ID NO: 174), Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Ser (SEQ ID NO: 175), Ser-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly (SEQ ID NO: 176), Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Ser (SEQ ID NO: 177), Ser-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly (SEQ ID NO: 178), (Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Ser (SEQ ID NO: 173)), and (Ser-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly (SEQ ID NO: 174))n. Here, n is an integer equal to or greater than 1. The length and sequence of the peptide linker can be appropriately selected by those skilled in the art depending on the purpose.

[0175] Synthetic linkers (chemical cross-linkers) are commonly used to cross-link peptides, including N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS), disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS), bis(sulfosuccinimidyl)suberate (BS3), dithiobis(succinimidyl propionate) (DSP), dithiobis(sulfosuccinimidyl propionate) (DTSSP), ethylene glycol bis(succinimidyl succinate) (EGS), ethylene glycol bis(sulfosuccinimidyl succinate) (sulfo-EGS), disuccinimidyl tartrate (DST), disulfosuccinimidyl tartrate (sulfo-DST), bis[2-(succinimidooxycarbonyloxy)ethyl]sulfone (BSOCOES), and bis[2-(sulfosuccinimidooxycarbonyloxy)ethyl]sulfone (sulfo-BSOCOES). These cross-linkers are commercially available.

[0176] To link four antibody variable regions, typically three linkers are required, and the linkers used may be of the same or different types.

[0177] Fab, F(ab') 2 , and Fab' "Fab" consists of one light chain and the CH1 domain and variable region of one heavy chain. The heavy chain of a Fab molecule cannot form disulfide bonds with another heavy chain molecule.

[0178] "F(ab') 2" or "Fab" refers to an antibody fragment produced by treating an immunoglobulin (monoclonal antibody) with a protease such as pepsin or papain, and digesting the immunoglobulin (monoclonal antibody) near the disulfide bond present between the hinge regions of the two H chains. For example, papain cleaves IgG upstream of the disulfide bond present between the hinge regions of the two H chains, generating two homologous antibody fragments in which an L chain containing VL (L chain variable region) and CL (L chain constant region) is linked to an H chain fragment containing VH (H chain variable region) and CHγ1 (γ1 region in the H chain constant region) by a disulfide bond at their C-terminal regions. Each of these two homologous antibody fragments is called Fab'.

[0179] "F(ab') 2 " consists of two light chains and two heavy chains that contain constant regions of the CH1 and CH2 domains such that disulfide bonds are formed between the two heavy chains. F(ab')" as disclosed herein 2 can be conveniently produced as follows: A monoclonal whole antibody or the like containing the desired antigen-binding site is partially digested with a protease such as pepsin, and the Fc fragment is removed by adsorption onto a protein A column. The protease selectively separates F(ab')2 from the F(ab')2 fragment under appropriately set enzyme reaction conditions such as pH. 2 The protease is not particularly limited, so long as it is capable of cleaving the entire antibody to give the antibody. For example, such proteases include pepsin and ficin.

[0180] Fc area In the present invention, the term "Fc region" or "Fc domain" refers to a region in an antibody molecule that includes a hinge or a part thereof, and a fragment consisting of the CH2 and CH3 domains. The Fc region of the IgG class refers to, but is not limited to, the region from cysteine ​​226 (EU numbering (also referred to herein as EU index)) to the C-terminus, or from proline 230 (EU numbering) to the C-terminus. The Fc region can be obtained, for example, by partially digesting an IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4 monoclonal antibody with a protease such as pepsin, and then re-eluting the fraction adsorbed to a protein A column or protein G column. Such a protease can be used to limit the Fab or F(ab') fragments under appropriately set enzyme reaction conditions (e.g., pH). 2 The enzyme used is not particularly limited, so long as it is capable of digesting a full-length antibody to form a polypeptide. Examples of such enzymes include pepsin and papain.

[0181] In the present invention, for example, an Fc region derived from a natural IgG can be used as the "Fc region" of the present disclosure. Here, natural IgG means a polypeptide that contains the same amino acid sequence as IgG found in nature and belongs to the class of antibodies substantially encoded by immunoglobulin gamma genes. Natural human IgG means, for example, natural human IgG1, natural human IgG2, natural human IgG3, or natural human IgG4. Natural IgG also includes naturally occurring variants thereof. Multiple allotype sequences based on genetic polymorphisms are described in Sequences of proteins of immunological interest, NIH Publication No. 91-3242 as the constant regions of human IgG1, human IgG2, human IgG3, and human IgG4 antibodies, and any of them can be used in the present disclosure. In particular, the sequence of human IgG1 may have DEL or EEM as the amino acid sequence at positions 356 to 358 of the EU numbering system.

[0182] In some embodiments, the Fc domain of the multispecific antigen-binding molecule is composed of a pair of polypeptide chains that contain the heavy chain domain of an immunoglobulin molecule.For example, the Fc domain of an immunoglobulin G (IgG) molecule is a dimer, each subunit of which contains CH2 and CH3 IgG heavy chain constant domains.The two subunits of the Fc domain can stably associate with each other.In one embodiment, the multispecific antigen-binding molecule described herein contains no more than one Fc domain.

Typically, the same one or more amino acid mutations are present in each of the two subunits of the Fc domain. In one embodiment, the amino acid mutations reduce the binding affinity of the Fc domain to the Fc receptor. In one embodiment, the amino acid mutations reduce the binding affinity of the Fc domain to the Fc receptor by at least 2-fold, at least 5-fold, or at least 10-fold. In an embodiment in which there are two or more amino acid mutations that reduce the binding affinity of the Fc domain to the Fc receptor, the combination of these amino acid mutations can reduce the binding affinity of the Fc domain to the Fc receptor by at least 10-fold, at least 20-fold, or even at least 50-fold. In one embodiment, the multispecific antigen-binding molecule comprising the engineered Fc domain exhibits less than 20%, particularly less than 10%, more particularly less than 5% of the binding affinity to the Fc receptor compared to the multispecific antigen-binding molecule comprising the non-engineered Fc domain. In certain embodiments, the Fc receptor is an Fcγ receptor. In some embodiments, the Fc receptor is a human Fc receptor. In some embodiments, the Fc receptor is an activating Fc receptor. In certain embodiments, the Fc receptor is an activating human Fcγ receptor, more specifically human Fcγ RIIIa, Fcγ RI, or Fcγ RIIa, most specifically human Fcγ RIIIa.
