AI Technical Summary
Existing drugs for treating autoimmune and inflammatory diseases nonspecifically inhibit the immune response, resulting in serious infection risk and toxic side effects, and cannot effectively distinguish and inhibit pathological T cell responses.
IL-10 is delivered directly to antigen presenting cells (APCs) by binding the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 to antibody-presenting cells (APCs) to inhibit and alter the pathological function of APCs.
More effective and lasting immune tolerance to autoimmune and inflammatory diseases is achieved, reducing the side effects of nonspecific immunosuppression, and improving the safety and effectiveness of treatment.

Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 994,239, filed May 16, 2014, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 014,504, filed June 19, 2014, both of which are incorporated by reference in their entireties.
[0002] This invention was made with government support under Grant No. 1R56AI105066-01 and Grant No. 2.1R01AI105066-01A1 awarded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases / National Institutes of Health. The U.S. Government has certain rights in this invention.
[0003] 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates generally to the field of medicine. More particularly, the present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions for enhancing tolerance to antigens and for treating inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. [Background technology]
[0004] 2.Background Autoimmune and inflammatory diseases result from the body's abnormal immune response to substances and tissues normally present in the body. This may be limited to a particular organ (e.g., in the case of autoimmune thyroiditis) or may affect specific tissues in various locations (e.g., Goodpasture's disease, which can affect the basement membrane in both the lungs and kidneys). Autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases affect up to 50 million people in the United States alone, yet the causes of autoimmunity remain unknown.
[0005] These diseases are typically treated using immunosuppression, i.e., drug therapy that reduces the immune response. Conventional immunotherapy using immunosuppressants such as cyclosporine, tacrolimus, methotrexate, or anti-TNFα / IL-6 nonspecifically suppresses the function of T cells, including non-pathogenic T cells, in the host. As a result, treatment with these immunosuppressants often results in the development of severe infections, sometimes leading to fatal outcomes. There is a need in the art for therapeutic agents that treat autoimmune responses without global immunosuppression. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The present disclosure addresses a need in the art by providing methods and compositions for delivering the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 to antigen-presenting cells (APCs) to suppress and alter the pathophysiological function of APCs in a subject using an APC-targeting antibody operably linked to IL-10 or a fragment thereof. Targeted delivery of anti-inflammatory cytokines to APCs in a patient is expected to result in more effective and long-lasting immune tolerance in the patient. Accordingly, an aspect of the present disclosure relates to a method for inhibiting an inflammatory or autoimmune response in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an antigen-presenting cell (APC)-targeting antibody operably linked to IL-10 or a fragment thereof.
[0007] In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a method for preventing or treating graft-versus-host disease in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of DC-ASGPR operably linked to IL-10 or a fragment thereof.
[0008] A further aspect relates to a method of inducing immune tolerance in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an APC-targeting antibody operably linked to IL-10 or a fragment thereof. Another aspect relates to a method of suppressing a T cell response in a subject by administering to a subject having or at risk of developing an inflammatory response a therapeutically effective amount of an APC-targeting antibody operably linked to IL-10 or a fragment thereof.
[0009] The term "operably linked" refers to the situation in which two components combine to form an active complex prior to binding at a target site. For example, an antibody conjugated to one of the two components of a cohesin-dockerin complex and a cytokine (e.g., IL-10) or other molecule (e.g., an antigen) complexed to the other component of the cohesin-dockerin complex are operably linked through the complexation of the cohesin molecule and the dockerin molecule. The term "operably linked" also refers to a covalent or chemical bond that conjugates the two molecules together.
[0010] Yet another aspect relates to methods and compositions for treating unwanted and / or aberrant immune responses without nonspecific suppression of the host immune system. In particular, anti-DC-ASGPR antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof can be used in the compositions and methods described herein to generate anti-pathogen antigen-specific regulatory T cells and / or reduce pathogenic T cell responses.
[0011] The term "anti-pathogen antigen-specific regulatory T cells" refers to T cells that have beneficial and therapeutic properties. In one embodiment, the anti-pathogen antigen-specific regulatory T cells are alloantigen-specific regulatory T cells. In another embodiment, the anti-pathogen antigen-specific regulatory T cells produce IL-10. The anti-pathogen antigen-specific regulatory T cells may be CD4+ T cells.
[0012] The term pathogenic T cell response refers to an abnormal or unwanted T cell response that contributes to the pathology of autoimmune disease or graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) or transplant rejection. In one embodiment, the pathogenic T cell response is an allogeneic T cell response. In a further embodiment, the pathogenic T cell response comprises allogeneic CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells. In one embodiment, the pathogenic T cell response comprises immune cells of a tissue transplant.
[0013] A further aspect of the present disclosure relates to a method for preventing or treating GVHD in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject an anti-DC-ASGPR antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof.
[0014] Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a common complication after allogeneic tissue transplantation. It is most commonly seen with stem cell or bone marrow transplantation, although the term also applies to other forms of tissue transplantation. Immune cells (white blood cells) in the tissue (graft) recognize the recipient (host) as "foreign." The transplanted immune cells then attack the host's somatic cells. GVHD can also occur after blood transfusions if the blood products used are not irradiated.
[0015] In another aspect, the present disclosure describes a method for preventing or treating transplant rejection in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject an anti-DC-ASGPR antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof.
[0016] Graft rejection occurs when transplanted tissue is rejected by the recipient's immune system, which destroys the transplanted tissue. Graft rejection is sometimes called transplant rejection or host-versus-graft disease.
[0017] In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment specifically binds to DC-ASGPR and activates DC-ASGPR. DC-asialoglycoprotein receptor (DC-ASGPR) is a scavenger receptor that possesses an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif-like motif. ASGPR is also known as ASGR1, ASGPR1, CLEC4H1, and HL-1. In one embodiment, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof binds to human DC-ASGPR.
[0018] In some embodiments, the APC targeting antibody targets APCs from one or more of the following group: Langerhans cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, B cells, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

[0066] DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIVE EMBODIMENTS The methods and compositions described herein can be used to treat or prevent inflammatory and / or autoimmune disorders or to induce immune tolerance. It has been shown that delivery of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 to human antigen-presenting cells (APCs) can suppress and modify the pathophysiological function of APCs in patients. It is anticipated that targeted delivery of anti-inflammatory cytokines to APCs in patients will result in more effective and long-lasting immune tolerance in patients. Delivery of IL-10 to APCs can directly suppress ongoing inflammatory responses in the short term and can also induce regulatory T cells, which can prolong the effectiveness of treatment. Furthermore, the methods described herein also provide a dose-sparing effect, in that targeted delivery of IL-10 requires a smaller amount or dose to achieve the same effect as non-targeted IL-10.
[0067] I. Antibodies The methods and compositions of the present disclosure relate to APC-targeting antibodies and antibody-binding fragments thereof. In some embodiments, the antibodies are functionally linked to IL-10. As used herein, "antibody" includes full-length antibodies and any antigen-binding fragments or single chains thereof. Thus, the term "antibody" includes any protein- or peptide-containing molecule that contains at least a portion of an immunoglobulin molecule. Examples of such include, but are not limited to, the complementarity-determining region (CDR) of a heavy or light chain or their ligand-binding portion, the heavy or light chain variable region, the heavy or light chain constant region, the framework (FR) region or any portion thereof, or at least one portion of a binding protein.
[0068] The antibody may be any of the various antibodies described herein, non-limiting examples of which include a polyclonal antibody, a monoclonal antibody, a chimeric antibody, a recombinant antibody, a human antibody, a veneered antibody, a diabody, a humanized antibody, an antibody derivative, a recombinant humanized antibody, or a derivative or fragment of each thereof.
[0069] Antibodies can be produced using conventional techniques known in the art and well documented in the literature. Several methods exist for producing polyclonal antibodies. For example, polyclonal antibodies are typically produced by immunizing suitable mammals, such as, but not limited to, chickens, goats, guinea pigs, hamsters, horses, mice, rats, and rabbits. Antigens are injected into the mammal to induce B lymphocytes to produce immunoglobulins specific to the antigen. The immunoglobulins are purified from the mammal's serum. Common variations on this method include altering the adjuvant, route and site of administration, injection volume per site, and number of sites per animal for optimal production and humane animal treatment. For example, adjuvants are typically used to improve or enhance the immune response to antigens. Most adjuvants create an antigen depot at the injection site, allowing for the sustained release of antigens into the draining lymph nodes. Other adjuvants include surfactants, which promote the concentration of protein antigen molecules and immunostimulatory molecules over a large surface area. Non-limiting examples of adjuvants for producing polyclonal antibody include Freund's adjuvant, Ribi adjuvant system and Titermax.Polyclonal antibody can be produced by the method described in U.S. Patent No. 7,279,559; U.S. Patent No. 7,119,179; U.S. Patent No. 7,060,800; U.S. Patent No. 6,709,659; U.S. Patent No. 6,656,746; U.S. Patent No. 6,322,788; U.S. Patent No. 5,686,073; and U.S. Patent No. 5,670,153.
[0070] Unless otherwise specified, antibodies may be polyclonal or monoclonal and may be isolated from any suitable biological source, such as murine, rat, sheep, or canine.
[0071] In one specific embodiment, the antibody is a monoclonal antibody. As used herein, "monoclonal antibody" refers to an antibody obtained from a substantially homogeneous antibody population. Monoclonal antibodies are highly specific because each monoclonal antibody is generated against a single determinant on an antigen. Antibodies can be detectably labeled, for example, with a radioisotope, an enzyme that generates a detectable product, a fluorescent protein, etc. Antibodies can also be conjugated with other moieties, such as members of specific binding pairs, for example, biotin (a member of the biotin-avidin specific binding pair). Antibodies can also be bound to solid supports, including, but not limited to, polystyrene plates or beads.
[0072] Monoclonal antibodies can be produced using conventional hybridoma techniques known in the art and well documented in the literature. For example, hybridomas can be produced using a suitable immortal cell line (e.g., a myeloma cell line, including but not limited to, Sp2 / 0, Sp2 / 0-AG14, NSO, NS1, NS2, AE-1, L.5, P3X63Ag8,653, Sp2 SA3, Sp2 MAI, Sp2 SS1, Sp2 SA5, U397, MIA 144, ACT IV, MOLT4, DA-1, JURKAT, WEHI, K-562, COS, RAJI, NIH 313, HL-60, MLA 144, NAMAIWA, NEURO, etc.). 2A, CHO, PerC.6, YB2 / O, etc.), or heteromyelomas, their fusion products, or any cells or fusion cells derived therefrom, or any other suitable cell line known in the art, can be fused with antibody-producing cells, including but not limited to, isolated or cloned spleen, peripheral blood, tonsil, or other immune cells or B cells, or can be fused with recombinant or endogenous viruses, bacteria, algae, prokaryotes, amphibians, insects, or other cells, as endogenous or heterologous nucleic acids. Antibody-producing cells can be produced by fusing with any other cell expressing heavy or light chain constant or variable or framework or CDR sequences, such as genomic DNA, cDNA, rDNA, mitochondrial DNA or RNA, chloroplast DNA or RNA, hmRNA, mRNA, tRNA, single-stranded, double-stranded, or triple-stranded, hybridizable, or any combination thereof, from insects, reptiles, fish, mammals, rodents, horses, ovine, goats, sheep, primates, or eukaryotes. Antibody-producing cells can also be obtained from the peripheral blood, or preferably the spleen or lymph nodes, of humans or other suitable animals immunized with the antigen of interest. Any other suitable host cells can also be used to express heterologous or endogenous nucleic acids encoding antibodies, specific fragments, or variants thereof. The fused cells (hybridomas) or recombinant cells can be isolated using selective culture conditions or other suitable known methods and then cloned using limiting dilution, cell sorting, or other known methods.
[0073] Other suitable methods for producing or isolating antibodies with the required specificity can also be used, including, but not limited to, selecting recombinant antibodies from peptide or protein libraries (e.g., but not limited to, bacteriophage, ribosomal, oligonucleotide, cDNA, etc. display libraries; available from various commercial sources, e.g., MorphoSys (Martinsreid / Planegg, Del.), Biolnvent (Lund, Sweden), Affitech (Oslo, Norway)) using methods known in the art. Methods known in the art are described in the patent literature, some of which include U.S. Patent Nos. 4,704,692; 5,723,323; 5,763,192; 5,814,476; 5,817,483; 5,824,514; and 5,976,862. An alternative method relies on immunization of transgenic animals capable of producing a repertoire of human antibodies (e.g., SCID mice, Nguyen et al. (1977) Microbiol. Immunol. 41:901-907 (1997); Sandhu et al. (1996) Crit. Rev. Biotechnol. 16:95-118; Eren et al. (1998) Mumma 93:154-161), as known in the art and / or described herein.Such techniques include ribosome display (Wanes et al. (1997) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 94:4937-4942; Hanes et al, (1998) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 95: 14130-14135); single-cell antibody production techniques (e.g., selected lymphocyte antibody method ("SLAM") (U.S. Patent No. 5,627,052, Wen et al, (1987) J. Immunol 17:887-892; Babcook et al. (1996) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 93:7843-7848); gel microdroplets and flow cytometry (Powell et al. (1990) Biotechnol. 8:333-337; One Cell Systems (Cambridge, Mass.); Gray et al. (1995) J. Imm. Meth. 182:155-163; and Kenny et al, (1995) Bio. Technol. 13:787-790); B cell selection (Steenbakkers et al. (1994) Molec. Biol. Reports 19:125-134).
[0074] As used herein, the term "polyclonal antibody" or "polyclonal antibody composition" refers to a preparation of antibodies derived from different B-cell lines, which are a mixture of immunoglobulin molecules secreted against a specific antigen, each recognizing a different epitope.
[0075] The term "murine antibody", as used herein, is intended to include antibodies having variable and constant regions derived from mouse germline immunoglobulin sequences.
[0076] As used herein, a chimeric antibody refers to an antibody whose light and heavy chain genes have been constructed, typically by genetic engineering, from antibody variable and constant region genes belonging to different species. In one embodiment, the antibody is a mouse / human chimeric antibody.
[0077] In further embodiments, the antibody contains modifications and is an "antibody derivative." The term "antibody derivative" includes post-translational modifications to the linear polypeptide sequence of an antibody or fragment. For example, U.S. Patent No. 6,602,684 B1 describes methods for producing modified glycoforms of antibodies, including full-length antibody molecules, antibody fragments, or fusion proteins, that contain a region equivalent to the Fc region of an immunoglobulin and have enhanced Fe-mediated cytotoxicity, and the glycoproteins thus produced.
[0078] The antibodies provided herein also include derivatives that have been modified by the covalent attachment of any type of molecule to the antibody, provided that the covalent attachment does not prevent the antibody from generating an anti-idiotypic response. Antibody derivatives include, but are not limited to, antibodies modified by glycosylation, acetylation, pegylation, phosphorylation, amidation, derivatization with known protecting / blocking groups, proteolytic cleavage, linkage to intracellular ligands or other proteins, etc. In addition, derivatives may contain one or more non-classical amino acids.
[0079] Antibody derivatives can also be prepared by delivering a polynucleotide encoding the antibody to a suitable host to produce a transgenic animal or mammal, such as a goat, cow, horse, sheep, etc., that produces such antibodies in its milk. These methods are known in the art and are described, for example, in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,827,690; 5,849,992; 4,873,316; 5,849,992; 5,994,616; 5,565,362; and 5,304,489.
[0080] Antibody derivatives can also be prepared by delivering polynucleotides to obtain transgenic plants and cultured plant cells (such as, but not limited to, tobacco, corn, and duckweed) that produce such antibodies, specific portions, or variants in plant parts or cells cultured therefrom. Antibody derivatives have also been produced in large quantities from transgenic plant seeds, including tobacco seeds and potato tubers, that contain antibody fragments such as single-chain antibodies (scFv). See, for example, Conrad et al. (1998) Plant Mol. Biol. 38:101-109 and the references cited therein. Thus, antibodies can also be produced using transgenic plants according to known methods.
[0081] Antibody derivatives can also be generated by adding exogenous sequences to, for example, modify immunogenicity or to reduce, enhance, or modify binding, affinity, on-rate, off-rate, avidity, specificity, half-life, or any other suitable characteristic. Generally, some or all of the non-human or human CDR sequences are maintained, while the non-human sequences in the variable and constant regions are replaced with human or other amino acids.
[0082] The term "variable region" refers to the portion of an antibody that confers its specificity for binding to an antigen. Variable regions are typically located at the ends of the heavy and light chains. The variable loops of the three beta chains on each of the light (VL) and heavy (VH) chains are responsible for binding to the antigen. These loops are called "complementarity-determining regions" (CDRs).
[0083] In general, the CDR residues are directly and most substantially involved in influencing antigen binding. Antibody humanization or engineering can be performed using any known method, including, but not limited to, those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,723,323; 5,976,862; 5,824,514; 5,817,483; 5,814,476; 5,763,192; 5,723,323; 5,766,886; 5,714,352; 6,204,023; 6,180,370; 5,693,762; 5,530,101; 5,585,089; 5,225,539; and 4,816,567.
[0084] The term "constant region" refers to the portion of an antibody that is identical in all antibodies of the same isotype. The constant region differs in antibodies of different isotypes.
[0085] In one embodiment, the antibody is a humanized antibody. As used herein, the term "humanized antibody" or "humanized immunoglobulin" refers to a human / non-human chimeric antibody that contains minimal sequence derived from non-human immunoglobulin. In most cases, humanized antibodies are human immunoglobulins (recipient antibodies) in which residues from the recipient's variable region are replaced with residues from the variable region of a non-human species (donor antibody) such as a mouse, rat, rabbit, or non-human primate having the desired specificity, affinity, and capacity. Humanized antibodies may contain residues that are not found in the recipient or donor antibody. Humanized antibodies may also optionally comprise at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region (Fc), typically of a human immunoglobulin. The non-human antibody contains one or more amino acids in the framework regions, constant regions, or CDRs that are substituted for similarly positioned amino acids from a human antibody. In general, humanized antibodies are expected to generate a reduced immune response in a human host compared to non-humanized versions of the same antibody. Humanized antibodies may have conservative amino acid substitutions that have substantially no effect on antigen binding or other antibody functions. Conservative substitution groupings include: glycine-alanine, valine-leucine-isoleucine, phenylalanine-tyrosine, lysine-arginine, alanine-valine, serine-threonine, and asparagine-glutamine.
[0086] Chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, or primatized antibodies can be prepared based on the sequence of a reference monoclonal antibody prepared using standard molecular biology techniques.The DNA encoding heavy and light chain immunoglobulins can be obtained from the hybridoma of interest, and can be manipulated to include non-reference (e.g., human) immunoglobulin sequences using standard molecular biology techniques.For example, to produce chimeric antibodies, the mouse variable region can be linked with human constant region using methods known in the art (U.S. Patent No. 4,816,567).To produce humanized antibodies, the mouse CDR region can be inserted into a human framework using methods known in the art (U.S. Patent No. 5,225,539 and U.S. Patent No. 5,530,101; U.S. Patent No. 5,585,089; U.S. Patent No. 5,693,762 and U.S. Patent No. 6,180,370). Similarly, to generate primatized antibodies, mouse CDR regions can be inserted into a primate framework using methods known in the art (WO 93 / 02108 and WO 99 / 55369). Methods for determining CDRs from variable region sequences are known in the art (see, for example, Zhao and Lu, "A germline knowledge-based computational approach for determining antibody complementarity determining regions," Mol. Immunol., (2010) 47(4):694-700, which is incorporated herein by reference).
[0087] Techniques for producing partially to fully human antibodies are known in the art, and any such techniques can be used. According to one embodiment, fully human antibody sequences are produced in transgenic mice engineered to express human heavy chain antibody genes and human light chain antibody genes. Several such transgenic mouse strains have been produced that can produce various classes of antibodies. B cells from transgenic mice producing the desired antibody can be fused to generate hybridoma cell lines for sustained production of the desired antibody (see, e.g., Russell et al. (2000) Infection and Immunity April 2000:1820-1826; Gallo et al. (2000) European J. of Immun. 30:534-540; Green (1999) J. of Immun. Methods 231: 11-23; Yang et al. (1999A) J. of Leukocyte Biology 66:401-410; Yang (1999B) Cancer Research 59(6): 1236-1243; Jakobovits (1998) Advanced Drug Reviews 31:33-42; Green and Jakobovits (1998) J. Exp. Med. 188(3):483-495;Jakobovits (1998) Exp. Opin. Invest. Drugs 7(4):607-614;Tsuda et al. (1997) Genomics 42:413-421;Sherman-Gold (1997) Genetic Engineering News 17(14);Mendez et al. (1997) Nature Genetics 15:146-156;Jakobovits (1996) Weir's Handbook of Experimental Immunology, The Integrated Immune System Vol. IV, 194.1-194.7; Jakobovits (1995) Current Opinion in Biotechnology 6:561-566; Mendez et al. (1995) Genomics 26:294-307; Jakobovits (1994) Current Biology 4(8):761-763; Arbones et al. (1994) Immunity 1(4):247-260; Jakobovits (1993) Nature 362(6417):255-258; Jakobovits et al. (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90(6):2551-2555; and U.S. Patent No. 6,075,181.
[0088] Antibodies can also be engineered to create chimeric antibodies, which are antibodies in which the various domains of the antibody's heavy and light chains are encoded by DNA from multiple species. See, e.g., U.S. Patent No. 4,816,567.
[0089] Alternatively, antibodies can also be modified to create veneered antibodies. A veneered antibody is one in which exterior amino acid residues of an antibody from one species have been carefully replaced, or "veneered," with exterior amino acid residues from a second species, such that the antibody from the first species is not immunogenic in the second species, thereby reducing the immunogenicity of the antibody. Because the immunogenicity of a protein depends primarily on the nature of its surface, it is believed that replacing exposed residues that differ from those normally found in antibodies from another mammalian species can reduce the immunogenicity of an antibody. Such careful replacement of exterior residues should have little or no effect on internal domains or interdomain junctions. Therefore, changes limited to framework residues in the variable regions should not affect the binding properties of ligands. This process is referred to as "veneering" because only the outer surface or skin of the antibody is altered, leaving supporting residues unperturbed.
[0090] The "veneering" procedure uses available sequence data for human antibody variable domains compiled by Kabat et al. (1987) Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 4th ed., Bethesda, Md., National Institutes of Health, updated versions of this database, and other available databases (both nucleic acid and protein) in the United States and abroad. Non-limiting examples of methods used to generate veneered antibodies include those described in EP 519596; U.S. Patent No. 6,797,492; and Padlan et al. (1991) Mol. Immunol. 28(4-5):489-498.
[0091] The term "antibody derivative" also includes "diabodies," which are small antibody fragments having two antigen-binding sites, in which the fragments comprise a heavy-chain variable domain (VH) linked to a light-chain variable domain (VL) in the same polypeptide chain (see, e.g., EP 404,097; WO 93 / 11161; and Hollinger et al. (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:6444-6448). By using a linker that is too short to allow pairing between the two domains on the same chain, these domains are forced to pair with complementary domains on another chain to generate two antigen-binding sites (see also U.S. Pat. No. 6,632,926 to Chen et al., which discloses antibody mutants in which one or more amino acids have been inserted into the hypervariable regions of the parent antibody, resulting in antibody mutants with binding affinity for a target antigen that is at least about two-fold stronger than that of the parent antibody).
[0092] The term "antibody derivatives" also includes engineered antibody molecules, fragments, and single domains, such as scFvs, dAbs, nanobodies, minibodies, unibodies, and affibodies. Hudson (2005) Nature Biotech 23(9): 1126-36; U.S. Patent Publication US 2006 / 0211088; PCT Publication WO2007 / 059782; U.S. Patent No. 5,831,012).
[0093] The term "antibody derivative" further includes "linear antibodies." Procedures for generating linear antibodies are known in the art and are described in Zapata et al. (1995) Protein Eng. 8(10): 1057-1062. Briefly, these antibodies comprise a pair of tandem Ed segments (V) that form a pair of antigen-binding regions. H -C H1 -VH-C H1 ) Linear antibodies can be bispecific or monospecific.
[0094] Antibodies can be recovered and purified from recombinant cell culture by known methods, including, but not limited to, Protein A purification, ammonium sulfate or ethanol precipitation, acid extraction, anion or cation exchange chromatography, phosphocellulose chromatography, hydrophobic interaction chromatography, affinity chromatography, hydroxylapatite chromatography, and lectin chromatography. High performance liquid chromatography ("HPLC") can also be used for purification.
[0095] Whether an antibody has the same specificity as the antibodies contemplated herein can be determined without undue experimentation by determining whether the test antibody prevents the antibody from binding to a protein or polypeptide with which the antibody is normally reactive. If the test antibody competes with the antibody used in the embodiments described herein, as indicated by reduced binding by the monoclonal antibody, the two antibodies likely bind to the same epitope or a similar epitope. Alternatively, the antibody for use in the embodiments can be preincubated with the protein with which it is normally reactive to determine whether its ability to bind to the antigen is inhibited. If the test antibody is inhibited, then it is highly likely that the antibody has the same or a similar epitope specificity as the antibody for use in the embodiments described herein.
[0096] The term "antibody" is also intended to include antibodies of all immunoglobulin isotypes and immunoglobulin subclasses. Isotype refers to the genetic variation or differences in the constant regions of the heavy and light chains of an antibody. In humans, there are five heavy chain isotypes: IgA, IgD, IgG, IgE, and IgM, and two light chain isotypes: kappa and lambda. The IgG class is divided into four isotypes: IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4 in humans, and IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, and IgG3 in mice. They share over 95% homology in the amino acid sequence of the Fc region, but show significant differences in the amino acid composition and structure of the hinge region. Specific isotypes of monoclonal antibodies can be prepared directly by selection from the initial fusion, or can be subsequently prepared from parent hybridomas secreting monoclonal antibodies of different isotypes by using sib selection methods to isolate class-switched variants using the procedures described in Steplewski et al. (1985) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 82:8653 or Spira et al. (1984) J. Immunol. Methods 74:307. Alternatively, recombinant DNA methods can be used.
[0097] Isolation of other monoclonal antibodies having the specificity of the monoclonal antibodies described herein can also be achieved by one skilled in the art by raising anti-idiotypic antibodies. Herlyn et al. (1986) Science 232:100. Anti-idiotypic antibodies are antibodies that recognize unique determinants present on the monoclonal antibody of interest.
[0098] In some aspects, it may be useful to detectably or therapeutically label an antibody.Methods for conjugating antibodies with these agents are known in the art.For illustrative purposes only, antibodies can be labeled with detectable moieties such as radioactive atoms, chromophores, fluorophores, etc.Such labeled antibodies can be used in diagnostic procedures in vivo or in isolated test samples.
[0099] In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment further comprises a modification, which may be a conservative amino acid mutation in the CDR1, CDR2, and / or CDR3 regions of the VH and / or VL, a conservative amino acid mutation in the Fc hinge region, pegylation, conjugation with a serum protein, conjugation with human serum albumin, conjugation with a detectable label, conjugation with a diagnostic agent, conjugation with an enzyme, conjugation with a fluorescent, luminescent, or bioluminescent substance, conjugation with a radioactive substance, or conjugation with a therapeutic agent.
[0100] As used herein, the term "label" refers to a directly or indirectly detectable compound or composition that is conjugated directly or indirectly to a composition to be detected, e.g., a protein such as a polynucleotide or an antibody, to produce a "labeled" composition. The term also includes sequences conjugated to a polynucleotide that provide a signal when the inserted sequence is expressed, such as green fluorescent protein (GFP). The label may be detectable itself (e.g., a radioisotope label or a fluorescent label) or, in the case of an enzyme label, may catalyze a chemical change in a substrate compound or composition that is detectable. The label may be suitable for small-scale detection or may be more suitable for high-throughput screening. Thus, suitable labels include, but are not limited to, radioisotopes, fluorescent dyes, chemiluminescent compounds, dyes, and proteins, including enzymes. The label may be simply detected or quantified. A simply detected response generally includes a response that merely confirms its presence, while a quantified response generally includes a response that has a quantifiable (e.g., numerically reportable) value, such as intensity, polarization, and / or other property. In luminescent or fluorescent assays, the detectable response can occur directly, using a luminophore or fluorophore associated with the assay component actually responsible for binding, or indirectly, using a luminophore or fluorophore associated with another (e.g., reporter or indicator) component.
[0101] Examples of luminescent labels that produce a signal include, but are not limited to, bioluminescence and chemiluminescence. A detectable luminescent response generally involves a change in, or the generation of, a luminescent signal. Suitable methods and luminophores for luminescently labeling assay components are known in the art and are described, for example, in Haugland, Richard P. (1996) Handbook of Fluorescent Probes and Research Chemicals (6 th (ed.) Examples of luminescent probes include, but are not limited to, aequorin and luciferase.
[0102] Examples of suitable fluorescent labels include fluorescein, rhodamine, tetramethylrhodamine, eosin, erythrosine, coumarin, methylcoumarin, pyrene, malacite green, stilbene, Lucifer Yellow, Cascade Blue™, and Texas Red. Other suitable optical dyes are described in Haugland, Richard P. (1996) Handbook of Fluorescent Probes and Research Chemicals (6 th (ed.).
[0103] In another aspect, the fluorescent label is functionalized to facilitate covalent binding with cellular components present in or on the surface of cells or tissues, such as cell surface markers. Suitable functional groups include, but are not limited to, isothiocyanate groups, amino groups, haloacetyl groups, maleimides, succinimidyl esters, and sulfonyl halides, all of which can be used to bind the fluorescent label to a second molecule. The choice of functional group of the fluorescent label depends on the binding site with either a linker, an agent, a marker, or a second labeling agent.
[0104] Attachment of the fluorescent label can be direct to the cellular component or compound, or alternatively via a linker. Suitable binding pairs for indirectly linking the fluorescent label to an intermediate include, but are not limited to, antigen / antibody, e.g., rhodamine / anti-rhodamine, biotin / avidin, and biotin / streptavidin.
[0105] Coupling of an antibody to a low molecular weight hapten can increase the sensitivity of the antibody in an assay. The hapten can then be specifically detected by a second reaction. For example, it is common to use haptens such as biotin, which reacts with avidin, or dinitrophenol, pyridoxal, and fluorescein, which can react with specific anti-hapten antibodies. See Harlow and Lane (1988), supra.
[0106] The variable regions of antibodies can be modified by mutating amino acid residues in the CDR1, CDR2, and / or CDR3 regions of VH and / or VL to improve one or more binding characteristics (e.g., affinity) of the antibody. Mutations can be introduced by site-directed mutagenesis or PCR-mediated mutagenesis, and their effect on antibody binding or other functional properties of interest can be evaluated using appropriate in vitro or in vivo assays. Conservative modifications are preferably introduced, typically changing no more than one, two, three, four, or five residues in the CDR regions. Mutations can be amino acid substitutions, additions, or deletions.
[0107] Framework modifications can be made to antibodies to reduce immunogenicity, for example, by "backmutating" one or more framework residues to the corresponding germline sequence.
[0108] Additionally, antibodies can be engineered to contain modifications in the Fc region to alter one or more functional properties of the antibody, such as serum half-life, complement fixation, Fc receptor binding, and / or antigen-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. Such modifications include, but are not limited to, altering the number of cysteine residues in the hinge region to facilitate assembly of the light and heavy chains or to increase or decrease antibody stability (U.S. Patent No. 5,677,425), and mutating amino acids in the Fc hinge region to decrease the biological half-life of the antibody (U.S. Patent No. 6,165,745).
[0109] Additionally, one or more antibodies can be chemically modified. For example, the glycosylation of an antibody can be altered by modifying one or more glycosylation sites in the antibody sequence to increase the affinity of the antibody for the antigen (U.S. Patent Nos. 5,714,350 and 6,350,861). Alternatively, to enhance antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, an antibody can be expressed in a host cell with an altered glycosylation machinery to obtain a hypofucosylated antibody with reduced amounts of fucosyl residues or an increased number of bisecting GlcNac structures (Shields, RL et al., 2002 J. Biol. Chem. 277:26733-26740; Umana et al., 1999 Nat. Biotech. 17:176-180).
[0110] To extend biological half-life, antibodies or fragments thereof can be pegylated by reacting them with polyethylene glycol (PEG) or a reactive ester or aldehyde derivative of PEG under conditions that result in the attachment of one or more PEG groups to the antibody or antibody fragment. Pegylation of antibodies can be carried out by an acylation reaction or an alkylation reaction with a reactive PEG molecule (or an analogous reactive water-soluble polymer). As used herein, the term "polyethylene glycol" is intended to encompass any of the forms of PEG used to derivatize other proteins, such as mono(C1-C10)alkoxypolyethyleneglycol or aryloxypolyethyleneglycol, or polyethyleneglycolmaleimide. The antibody to be pegylated can be an aglycosylated antibody. Methods for pegylation of proteins are known in the art and can be applied to one or more antibodies (EP 0 154 316 and EP 0 401 384).
[0111] Additionally, antibodies can be chemically modified to increase the half-life of the resulting molecule by conjugating or fusing the antigen-binding region of the antibody to a serum protein, such as human serum albumin. Such techniques are described, for example, in EP 0322094 and EP 0 486 525.
[0112] Antibodies or fragments thereof can also be conjugated with diagnostic agents for diagnostic use, for example, to monitor the onset or progression of disease and to determine the effectiveness of a given treatment regimen. Examples of diagnostic agents include enzymes, prosthetic groups, fluorescent materials, luminescent materials, bioluminescent materials, radioactive materials, positron-emitting metals using various positron emission tomography methods, and non-radioactive paramagnetic metal ions. The detectable substance can be directly linked or conjugated to the antibody or fragment thereof, or indirectly linked or conjugated via a linker using techniques known in the art. Examples of suitable enzymes include horseradish peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase, β-galactosidase, or acetylcholinesterase. Examples of suitable prosthetic group complexes include streptavidin / biotin and avidin / biotin. Examples of suitable fluorescent substances include umbelliferone, fluorescein, fluorescein isothiocyanate, rhodamine, dichlorotriazinylamine fluorescein, dansyl chloride, or phycoerythrin. Examples of luminescent substances include luminol. Examples of bioluminescent substances include luciferase, luciferin, and aequorin. Examples of suitable radioactive substances include 125I, 131I, indium-111, lutetium-171, bismuth-212, bismuth-213, astatine-211, copper-62, copper-64, copper-67, yttrium-90, iodine-125, iodine-131, phosphorus-32, phosphorus-33, scandium-47, silver-111, gallium-67, praseodymium-142, samarium-153, terbium-161, and dysprosium-16. Radioactive metal ions include 6, holmium-166, rhenium-186, rhenium-188, rhenium-189, lead-212, radium-223, actinium-225, iron-59, selenium-75, arsenic-77, strontium-89, molybdenum-99, rhodium-1105, palladium-109, praseodymium-143, promethium-149, erbium-169, iridium-194, gold-198, gold-199, and lead-211. Monoclonal antibodies can be indirectly conjugated to radioactive metal ions by using bifunctional chelating agents that are covalently linked to the antibodies.Chelating agents can be attached via amity (Meares et al., 1984 Anal. Biochem. 142: 68-78); sulfhydral groups of amino acid residues (Koyama 1994 Chem. Abstr. 120: 217262t) and carbohydrate groups (Rodwell et al. 1986 PNAS USA 83: 2632-2636; Quadri et al. 1993 Nucl. Med. Biol. 20: 559-570).
[0113] Other suitable conjugated molecules include ribonucleases (RNases), DNase I, antisense nucleic acids, inhibitory RNA molecules such as siRNA molecules, immunostimulatory nucleic acids, aptamers, ribozymes, triplex-forming molecules, and external guide sequences. Aptamers are small nucleic acids ranging from 15 to 50 bases in length that fold into defined secondary and tertiary structures such as stem-loops or G-quartets. They can bind small molecules such as ATP (U.S. Pat. No. 5,631,146) and theophylline (U.S. Pat. No. 5,580,737), as well as macromolecules such as reverse transcriptase (U.S. Pat. No. 5,786,462) and thrombin (U.S. Pat. No. 5,543,293). Ribozymes are nucleic acid molecules that can catalyze chemical reactions, either intramolecularly or intermolecularly. Ribozymes typically cleave nucleic acid substrates by recognizing and binding to the target substrate to be subsequently cleaved. Nucleic acid molecules with triplex-forming function can interact with double-stranded and single-stranded nucleic acids by forming triplexes, in which the three strands of DNA form a complex relying on both Watson-Crick and Hoogsteen base pairing. The triplex molecules can bind to target regions with high affinity and specificity.
[0114] Functional nucleic acid molecules may act as effectors, inhibitors, modulators, and stimulators of a specific activity possessed by a target molecule, or functional nucleic acid molecules may possess de novo activity that is independent of any other molecule. In one embodiment, antibodies are stimulators of dendritic cells.
[0115] The conjugated agent can be linked to the antibody directly or indirectly using any of a number of available methods. For example, an agent can be attached to the hinge region of a reduced antibody component via disulfide bond formation using a cross-linking agent such as N-succinyl-3-(2-pyridyldithio)propionate (SPDP), or via carbohydrate moieties within the Fc region of the antibody (Yu et al. 1994 Int. J. Cancer 56: 244; Upeslacis et al., "Modification of Antibodies by Chemical Methods," in Monoclonal antibodies: principles and applications, Birch et al. (eds.), pages 187-230 (Wiley-Liss, Inc. 1995); Price, "Production and Characterization of Synthetic Peptide-Derived Antibodies," in Monoclonal antibodies: Production, engineering and clinical application, Ritter et al. (eds.), pages 60-84 (Cambridge University Press 1995)).
[0116] Techniques for conjugating agents to antibodies are well known (Amon et al., "Monoclonal Antibodies For Immunotargeting Of Drugs In Cancer Therapy," in Monoclonal Antibodies And Cancer Therapy, Reisfeld et al. (eds.), pp. 243-56 (Alan R. Liss, Inc. 1985); Hellstrom et al., "Antibodies For Drug Delivery," in Controlled Drug Delivery (2nd Ed.), Robinson et al. (eds.), pp. 623-53 (Marcel Dekker, Inc. 1987); Thorpe, "Antibody Carriers Of Cytotoxic Agents In Cancer Therapy: A Review," in Monoclonal Antibodies '84: Biological And Clinical Applications, Pinchera et al. (eds.), pp. 475-506 (1985); "Analysis, Results, And Future Prospects Of The Therapeutic Use Of Radiolabeted Antibody in Cancer Therapy", in Monoclonal Antibodies For Cancer Detection And Therapy, Baldwin et al. (eds.), pp. 303-16 (Academic Press 1985), and Thorpe et al., The Preparation And Cytotoxic Properties Of Antibody-Toxin Conjugates" 1982 Immunol. Rev. 62: 119-58).
[0117] An antibody, or its antigen-binding region, can be linked to another functional molecule, such as another antibody or a receptor ligand, to generate a bispecific or multispecific molecule that binds to at least two or more different binding sites or target molecules. Linking an antibody to one or more other binding molecules, such as another antibody, antibody fragment, peptide, or binding mimetic, can be achieved, for example, by chemical coupling, genetic fusion, or noncovalent association. A multispecific molecule can further include a third binding specificity in addition to the first and second target epitopes.
[0118] Bispecific and multispecific molecules can be prepared using methods known in the art.For example, each binding unit of a highly specific molecule can be prepared separately, and then they can be conjugated together.When the binding molecule is a protein or peptide, various coupling or cross-linking agents can be used for covalent conjugation. Examples of cross-linking agents include protein A, carbodiimide, N-succinimidyl-S-acetyl-thioacetate (SATA), 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB), o-phenylenedimaleimide (oRDM), N-succinimidyl-3-(2-pyridyldithio)propionate (SPDP), and sulfosuccinimidyl 4-(N-maleimidomethyl)cyclohexane-I-carboxylate (sulfo-SMCC) (Karpovsky et al., 1984 J. Exp. Med. 160: 1686; Liu et al., 1985 Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 82: 8648). When the binding molecule is an antibody, they can be conjugated by sulfhydryl bonding between the C-terminal hinge regions of the two heavy chains.
[0119] Antibodies or fragments thereof can be linked to moieties that are toxic to cells to which the antibody binds to form "depleting" antibodies. These antibodies are particularly useful for applications in which it is desired to deplete NK cells.
[0120] Antibodies can also be linked to solid supports, which are particularly useful for immunoassays or purification of target antigens. Such solid supports include, but are not limited to, glass, cellulose, polyacrylamide, nylon, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, or polypropylene.
[0121] Antibodies can also be bound to various carriers. Thus, compositions containing antibodies and other active or inactive substances are also provided. Examples of well-known carriers include glass, polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene, dextran, nylon, amylase, natural and modified cellulose, polyacrylamide, agarose, and magnetite. The nature of the carrier can be soluble or insoluble, depending on the purpose of the embodiments described herein. Those skilled in the art will know of other suitable carriers for binding monoclonal antibodies, or will be able to ascertain such carriers using routine experimentation.
[0122] II. Constructs All of the exemplary heavy chain constructs are typically used for co-transfection of CHO cells with a compatible light chain vector, and in some embodiments, the immunotherapeutic will have humanized variable regions.

Modifications in a polypeptide can result in a change in the amino acid sequence of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69 of a peptide or polypeptide compared to the wild type. , 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135 , 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148, 149, 150, 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156, 157, 158, 159, 160, 161, 162, 163, 164, 165, 166, 167, 168, 169, 170, 171, 172, 173, 174, 175, 176, 177, 178, 179, 180, 181, 182, 183, 184, 185, 186, 187, 188, 189, 190, 191, 192, 193, 1 94, 195, 196, 197, 198, 199, 200, 201, 202, 203, 204, 205, 206, 207, 208, 209, 210, 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 218, 219, 220, 221, 222, 223, 224, 225, 226, 227, 228, 229, 230, 231, 232, 233, 234, 235, 236, 237, 238, 239, 240, 241, 242, 243, 244, 245, 246, 247, 248, 249, 250, 251, 252,253, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 259, 260, 261, 262, 263, 264, 265, 266, 267, 268, 269, 270, 271, 272, 273, 274, 275, 276, 277, 278, 279, 280, 281, 282, 283, 284, 285, 286, 287, 288, 289, 290, 291, 292, 293, 294, 295, 296, 297, 298, 299, 300, 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308, 309, 310, 311, 312, 313, 314, 315, 316, 317, 318, 319, 320, 321, 322, 323, 324, 325, 326, 327, 328, 329, 330, 331, 332, 333, 334, 335, 336, 337, 338, 339, 340, 341, 342, 343, 344, 345, 346、347、348、349、350、351、352、353、354、355、356、357、358、359、360、361、362、363、364、365、366、367、368、369、370、371、372、373、374、375、376、 377, 378, 379, 380, 381, 382, 383, 384, 385, 386, 387, 388, 389, 390, 391, 392, 393, 394, 395, 396, 397, 398, 399, 400, 401, 402, 403, 404, 405, 406, 407, 408, 409, 410, 411, 412, 413, 414, 415, 416, 417, 418, 419, 420, 421, 422, 423, 424, 425, 426, 427, 428, 429, 430, 431, 432, 433, 434, 435, 436, 437, 438, 439, 440, 441, 442, 443, 444, 445, 446, 447, 448, 449, 450, 451, 452, 453, 454, 455, 456, 457, 458, 459, 460, 461, 462, 463, 464, 465, 466, 467, 468, 469, 470, 471, 472, 473, 474, 475, 476, 477, 478, 479, 480, 481, 482, 483, 484, 485, 486, 487, 488, 489, 490, 491, 492, 493, 494, 495, 496, 497, 498, 499, 500,The amino acid sequence may affect one or more non-contiguous or contiguous amino acids. Peptides or polypeptides that produce an immune response are contemplated for use in the embodiments.
[0258] Deletion mutants typically lack one or more residues of the native or wild-type amino acid sequence. Individual residues may be deleted, or several consecutive amino acids may be deleted. A stop codon may be introduced (by substitution or insertion) into the encoding nucleic acid sequence, resulting in a truncated protein. Insertion mutants typically involve the addition of material at a non-terminal position in the polypeptide. This may involve the insertion of one or more residues. Terminal additions, called fusion proteins, may also occur.
[0259] Substitutional variants typically involve the exchange of one amino acid for another at one or more sites in the protein and can be designed to modulate one or more properties of the polypeptide, with or without loss of other functions or properties. Substitutions can be conservative, i.e., one amino acid is replaced with one of similar shape and charge. Conservative substitutions are well known in the art and include, for example, the following changes: alanine to serine; arginine to lysine; asparagine to glutamine or histidine; aspartic acid to glutamic acid; cysteine to serine; glutamine to asparagine; glutamic acid to aspartic acid; glycine to proline; histidine to asparagine or glutamine; isoleucine to leucine or valine; leucine to valine or isoleucine; lysine to arginine; methionine to leucine or isoleucine; phenylalanine to tyrosine, leucine, or methionine; serine to threonine; threonine to serine; tryptophan to tyrosine; tyrosine to tryptophan or phenylalanine; and valine to isoleucine or leucine. Alternatively, substitutions may be non-conservative, such that the function or activity of the polypeptide or peptide, such as binding strength or affinity for a cellular receptor, is affected. Non-conservative changes typically involve substituting a residue with a chemically dissimilar residue, such as substituting a polar or charged amino acid for a nonpolar or uncharged amino acid, or vice versa.
[0260] The proteins may be recombinant or synthesized in vitro, or the recombinant proteins may be isolated from bacteria or other host cells.
[0261] The term "functionally equivalent codon" is used herein to refer to codons that encode the same amino acid, such as the six codons for arginine or serine, and also refers to codons that encode biologically equivalent amino acids.
[0262] It will also be understood that the amino acid and nucleic acid sequences may contain additional residues, such as additional N- or C-terminal amino acids or 5' or 3' nucleic acid sequences, respectively, and still be essentially as set forth in one of the sequences disclosed herein, so long as the sequence meets the above criteria, including maintenance of biological protein activity (e.g., immunogenicity). The addition of terminal sequences particularly applies to nucleic acid sequences, which may include various non-coding sequences adjacent, for example, to either the 5' or 3' portion of the coding region.
[0263] In the composition embodiment, it is contemplated that there is about 0.001 mg to about 10 mg of total protein per ml.Thus, the concentration of protein in the composition may be about 0.001, 0.010, 0.050, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 9.5, 10.0, 50, 100 μg / ml or 0.001, 0.010, 0.050, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 , 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 9.5, 10.0, 50, 100 mg / ml or more, at least about 0.001, 0.010, 0.050, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 9.5, 10.0, 50, 100 μg / ml or more 1, 0.010, 0.050, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 9.5, 10.0, 50, 100 mg / ml or more, or up to about 0.001, 0.010, 0.050, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4. 5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 9.5, 10.0, 50, 100 μg / ml or 0.001, 0.010, 0.050, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 9.5, 10.0, 50, 100 mg / ml or more (or any range derivable therein).
[0264] An embodiment optionally includes the administration of an APC-targeting antibody. In some embodiments, the method and composition further include an antigen. U.S. Patent No. 4,554,101 (Hopp), incorporated herein by reference, teaches the identification and preparation of epitopes from primary amino acid sequences based on hydrophilicity. The method disclosed in Hopp allows those skilled in the art to identify potential epitopes within amino acid sequences and confirm their immunogenicity. Numerous scientific publications have also addressed the prediction of secondary structure and the identification of epitopes from the analysis of amino acid sequences (Chou & Fasman, 1974a,b; 1978a,b; 1979). Any of these can be used as desired to supplement the teachings of Hopp in U.S. Patent No. 4,554,101.
[0265] VI. Pharmaceutical Compositions Embodiments include methods and compositions for increasing an immune response in a subject in need thereof, including compositions that can be used to induce or modify an immune response to an antigen, e.g., a polypeptide, peptide, carbohydrate, lipid, or other molecule or molecular fragment, and to developing a condition or disease associated with such antigen.
[0266] It is contemplated that the APC-targeting antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof (and optionally linked to an antigen, and optionally IL-10) may be administered with additional adjuvants known in the art, such as TLR agonists. TLR agonists include agonists for TLR1 (e.g., peptidoglycan or triacyl lipoprotein), TLR2 (e.g., lipoteichoic acid; peptidoglycan from Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli 0111:B4, E. coli K12, or Staphylococcus aureus); typical lipopolysaccharides (LPS), such as Leptospirosis LPS and Porphyromonas gingivalis LPS; synthetic diacylated lipoproteins, such as FSL-1 or Pam2CSK4; Mycobacterium smegmatis (M.lipoarabinomannan or lipomannan from P. smegmatis; triacylated lipoproteins, such as Pam3CSK4; lipoproteins, such as MALP-2 and MALP-404 from mycoplasmas; Borrelia burgdorferi OspA; porins from Neisseria meningitidis or Haemophilus influenza; Propionibacterium acnes antigen mixture; Yersinia LcrV; lipomannans from Mycobacterium or Mycobacterium tuberculosis; Trypanosoma cruzi GPI anchor; Schistosoma mansoni lysophosphatidylserine; Leishmania major lipophosphoglycan (LPG); Plasmodium falciparum falciparum glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI); zymosan; antigen mixtures from Aspergillus fumigatus or Candida albicans; and measles hemagglutinin, TLR3 (e.g., double-stranded) RNA, polyadenylic-polyuridylic acid (poly(A:U)); polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly(I:C)); polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid high molecular weight (poly(I:C) HMW); and polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid low molecular weight (poly(I:C) LMW)), TLR4 (e.g., LPS from Escherichia coli and Salmonella species); TLR5 (e.g., Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, or Salmonella typhimurium (S.Typhimurium (Typhimurium) derived flagellin), TLR8 (e.g., single-stranded RNA, e.g., ssRNA with 6UUAU repeats, RNA homopolymer (ssPolyU naked), HIV-1 LTR-derived ssRNA (ssRNA40), or ssRNA with two GUCCUUCAA repeats (ssRNA-DR)), TLR7 (e.g., the imidazoquinoline compounds Imiquimod, Imiquimod VacciGrade™, Gardiquimod VacciGrade™, or Gardiquimod™; the adenine analog CL264; the base analog CL307; the guanosine analog loxoribine; TLR7 / 8 (e.g., the thiazoquinoline compound CL075; the imidazoquinoline compounds CL097, R848, or R848 VacciGrade™), TLR9 (e.g., CpG ODN); and TLR11 (e.g., Toxoplasma gondii profilin). In certain embodiments, the TLR is a specific agonist listed above. In further embodiments, the TLR specifically stimulates either one TLR or two TLRs.
[0267] In certain embodiments, the methods and compositions specifically exclude the administration of TLR ligands and / or agonists.
[0268] Administration of the compositions will typically be via any common route, including oral, parenteral, orthotopic, intradermal, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intranasal, inhalation, nebulizer, or intravenous injection. In certain embodiments, vaccine compositions may be inhaled (e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 6,651,655, specifically incorporated by reference). Other formulations suitable for other modes of administration include oral formulations. Oral formulations contain commonly used excipients such as pharmaceutical grades of mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharin, cellulose, magnesium carbonate, and the like. These compositions take the form of solutions, suspensions, tablets, pills, capsules, sustained-release formulations, or powders and contain about 10% to about 95%, preferably about 25% to about 70%, of the active ingredient.
[0269] Typically, compositions are administered in a manner compatible with the dosage formulation, and in such amount as will be therapeutically effective and immunomodulatory. The amount administered will depend on the subject being treated. Precise amounts of active ingredient required to be administered depend on the judgment of the practitioner.
[0270] The mode of application may vary widely. Any conventional method for administering a vaccine may be applied. These conventional methods may include oral application on a solid physiologically acceptable base or in a physiologically acceptable dispersion, parenterally, by injection, etc. The dosage of the pharmaceutical composition will depend on the route of administration and will vary depending on the size and health of the subject.
[0271] In many cases, multiple administrations are desirable, up to about 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more, or at least about 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more. Administrations may range from 2 days to 12 weeks apart, more usually 1 to 2 weeks apart. Following the course of administration, assays for reactive immune responses and T cell activity can be performed.
[0272] The phrase "pharmaceutically acceptable" or "pharmacologically acceptable" refers to molecular entities and compositions that do not produce adverse, allergic, or other untoward reactions when administered to animals or humans. As used herein, "pharmaceutically acceptable carriers" include any and all solvents, dispersion media, coating agents, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic and absorption delaying agents, etc. The use of such media and agents for pharmaceutically active substances is well known in the art. Except insofar as any conventional media or agent is incompatible with the active ingredient, its use in immunogenic and therapeutic compositions is contemplated.
[0273] Antibody or antigen-binding fragment can be formulated for parenteral administration, for example, can be formulated for injection via intravenous, intradermal, intramuscular, subcutaneous, or even intraperitoneal route.In one specific embodiment, the composition is administered by intradermal injection.In a further embodiment, the composition is administered by intravenous injection.In view of the present disclosure, it is believed that the preparation of aqueous compositions containing APC targeting antibodies that modify the immune status of subjects will be known to those skilled in the art.Typically, such compositions can be prepared as injections either as liquid solutions or suspensions; they can also be prepared as solid forms suitable for preparing solutions or suspensions by adding liquid before injection; and the preparations can also be emulsified.
[0274] Pharmaceutical dosage forms suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions; formulations containing sesame oil, peanut oil, or aqueous propylene glycol; and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. In all cases, the dosage form must be sterile and fluid to the extent that it can be easily syrup-injected. It must also be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi.
[0275] The compositions can be formulated in neutral or salt form. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include acid addition salts (formed with the free amino groups of the protein) and are formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid or phosphoric acid, or organic acids such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, tartaric acid, mandelic acid, etc. Salts formed with free carboxyl groups can also be derived from inorganic bases such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, or ferric hydroxide, and organic bases such as isopropylamine, trimethylamine, histidine, procaine, etc.
[0276] The carrier may also be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (e.g., glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyethylene glycol, etc.), suitable mixtures thereof, and vegetable oils. Prevention of microbial activity can be achieved by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, thimerosal, and the like. In many cases, it is preferable to include an isotonic agent, for example, sugar or sodium chloride. Prolonged absorption of injectable compositions can be achieved by the use in the compositions of agents delaying absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin.
[0277] Sterile injectable solution can be prepared by incorporating the required amount of active compound in a suitable solvent with various other ingredients as listed above, and then sterilizing as needed.Generally, dispersion is prepared by incorporating various sterilized active ingredients into a sterile vehicle containing a basic dispersion medium and the other required ingredients listed above.For sterile powders for preparing sterile injectable solution, the preferred preparation method is vacuum drying and freeze-drying, which can obtain a powder of active ingredient and any additional desired ingredients from the solution that has been previously sterile-filtered.
[0278] The effective amount of a therapeutic or prophylactic composition is determined based on the intended goal. The term "unit dose" or "dosage" refers to a physically discrete unit suitable for use in a subject, each unit containing a predetermined amount of the composition calculated to produce the desired response discussed above in conjunction with its administration, i.e., an appropriate route and administration regimen. The amount administered, both according to the number of treatments and the unit dose, depends on the desired outcome and / or protection. The precise amount of the composition also depends on the judgment of the physician and is unique to each individual. Factors affecting the dosage include the subject's physical and clinical condition, the route of administration, the intended goal of treatment (alleviation of symptoms or cure), and the efficacy, stability, and toxicity of the particular composition. Upon formulation, a solution will be administered in a manner compatible with the dosage formulation and in an amount that will be therapeutically or prophylactically effective. The formulations are easily administered in a variety of dosage forms, such as the types of injection solutions described above.
[0279] VII. In Vitro or Ex Vivo Administration As used herein, the term in vitro administration refers to manipulations performed on cells removed from or outside a subject, including, but not limited to, cells in culture. The term ex vivo administration refers to cells that are manipulated in vitro and then administered to a subject. The term in vivo administration includes all manipulations performed within a subject, including administration.
[0280] In certain aspects, the composition can be administered in vitro, ex vivo, or in vivo. In certain in vitro embodiments, isolated immune cells are incubated with the compositions described herein. For example, isolated APCs can be incubated with the antibodies or antibody conjugates described herein. These cells can then be used for in vitro analysis, or alternatively for ex vivo administration.
[0281] VIII. Therapeutic applications The methods include the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, and may be used on individuals who have tested positive for such disorders or who are considered to be at risk for developing such conditions or related conditions.
[0282] The antibodies or antigen-binding fragments of the present disclosure (in some embodiments, conjugated to IL-10) can be administered to induce or modify immune responses in individuals who have, are suspected of having, or are at risk for developing an allograft-associated autoimmune condition or autoimmune complication. These methods may be used on individuals who have tested positive for autoreactivity or alloreactivity or who are considered to be at risk for developing such conditions or related conditions.
[0283] The methods described herein are particularly useful for treating or preventing disorders for which antigenic determinants have not been fully characterized. Such disorders include, for example, rheumatoid arthritis, allergies, asthma, systemic juvenile arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and Crohn's disease. The methods described herein are also particularly useful for disorders such as GVHD and transplant rejection, because the antigenic determinants for such diseases are unknown or may vary depending on the tissue and / or the individual from which the tissue is obtained.
[0284] It is postulated that targeting dendritic cells (eg, with anti-DC-ASGPR antibodies) will inhibit autoimmune disease but not prevent pathogen-specific T cell responses.

Non-limiting examples of allergic disorders include allergic atopy and dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, allergic reactions to foods (e.g., milk, eggs, wheat, nuts, fish, shellfish, sulfites, soy, and casein), environmental allergens (e.g., plant and animal allergens, such as dander, house dust mites, pollen, cedar, poison ivy, poison oak, sumac, etc.), insect bites (e.g., bee, wasp, wood wasp, hornet, or fire ant stings), hay fever, allergic conjunctivitis, hives, mold, drug allergies (e.g., aspirin and penicillin), and cosmetic allergies.
[0287] In some embodiments, the compositions and methods described herein are used to treat the inflammatory component of the disorders listed herein and / or known in the art.Therefore, the methods and compositions described herein can be used to treat subjects suffering from inflammation.In some embodiments, the inflammation is acute.In other embodiments, the inflammation is chronic.In further embodiments, the compositions and methods described herein are used to treat or prevent cancer by treating or preventing the inflammatory component associated with cancer.In some embodiments, the cancer is breast cancer.
[0288] IX. Combination Therapy The compositions and related methods disclosed herein, particularly the administration of APC targeting antibody or antigen-binding fragment, can also be used in combination with the administration of conventional therapy.These include, but are not limited to, the application of immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory therapy or treatment.Non-limiting examples of existing immunosuppressive therapy include the administration of immunosuppressive compounds, such as cyclosporin A, cyclophosphamide, FK506, tacrolimus, corticosteroids, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, sirolimus, rapamycin, rapamycin analogs, deoxyspergualin, and prednisone.
[0289] In one aspect, the APC-targeting antibody or antigen-binding fragment is contemplated for use in conjunction with cytokine therapy. Alternatively, antibody administration may precede or follow the other treatment by intervals ranging from a few minutes to several weeks. In embodiments in which the other agent is administered separately, it is generally ensured that no significant time elapses between delivery times, so that the agent and antibody can still exert their beneficially combined effect on the subject. In such cases, it is contemplated that both modalities may be administered within about 12 to 24 hours of each other, more preferably within about 6 to 12 hours of each other. However, in some situations, it may be desirable to extend the period of administration significantly, ranging from several days (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 days) to several weeks (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 weeks) between each administration.
[0290] Administration of the anti-DC-ASGPR antibody or antigen-binding fragment composition to patients / subjects will follow standard protocols for administering such compounds, taking into account toxicity, if any. It is anticipated that treatment cycles will be repeated as necessary. It is also anticipated that various standard therapies, such as hydration, may be applied in combination with the described treatments. [Example]
[0291] X. Example The following examples are included to demonstrate certain particular embodiments. It should be recognized by those of skill in the art that the procedures disclosed in the examples which follow represent techniques found by the inventors to function well in the practice of the invention and, therefore, can be considered preferred modes for its practice. However, those of skill in the art should, in light of the present disclosure, recognize that many changes can be made in the specific embodiments which are disclosed and still obtain a like or similar result without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
[0292] Example 1: Targeting IL-10 to antigen-presenting cells Targeted in vivo delivery of IL-10 to APCs subsequently alters the pathogenic functions of APCs and enhances regulatory T cell responses, making this treatment strategy more effective and durable than non-targeted anti-inflammatory cytokines. Compared with non-targeted methods, the targeted methods described herein require much lower amounts of IL-10 to achieve the same or similar effects. Due to the dose-sparing effect associated with delivering IL-10 to a subset of a patient's APCs, this strategy is expected to significantly reduce the side effects of anti-inflammatory cytokine treatment while providing superior efficacy.
[0293] To test the efficacy of APC-targeted IL-10, recombinant fusion proteins of antibodies with human IL-10 were generated. Monoclonal antibodies (anti-CD40 clone 12E12, anti-CD40 clone 24A3, anti-DCIR clone 9E8, anti-DC-ASGPR clone 49C11, and control IgG4) and human IL-10 fusion proteins were generated.
[0294] We found that various antibodies fused to human IL-10 could target subsets of human DCs in distinct patterns. The ability of antibody-IL-10 fusion proteins to bind to human DCs was measured. Myeloid DCs (mDCs) and plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) were purified from human blood. DCs were incubated on ice for 20 minutes in the presence of various concentrations of recombinant antibody-IL-10 fusion proteins (Figure 1). After extensive washing, DCs were further stained with anti-human IL-10 to detect surface-bound antibody-IL-10 fusion proteins using flow cytometry. As shown in Figure 1, all of the recombinant antibody-IL-10 fusion proteins (except for the control IgG4-IL-10) were able to bind to mDCs. However, the binding patterns of individual proteins to mDCs were not identical. For example, anti-DCIR(9E8)-IL-10 bound to mDCs more efficiently than the others. Additionally, anti-CD40(12E12)-IL-10 exhibits superior binding to mDCs compared with anti-CD40(24A3)-IL-10. Although both anti-CD40(12E12)-IL-10 and anti-CD40(24A3)-IL-10 bind to pDCs, anti-DCIR(9E8)-IL-10 exhibits the greatest binding to pDCs.
[0295] Taken together, these data indicate that anti-inflammatory cytokines (including IL-10) fused to various antibodies can target different subsets of human APCs at different levels, leading to different outcomes in terms of immune responses.
[0296] We also found that antibody-IL-10 fusion proteins could inhibit DC maturation. DCs are the primary APCs that can induce and direct host immune responses toward either immunity or tolerance. It is also known that mature DCs induce immunity, while immature DCs induce tolerance. Therefore, we investigated the effectiveness of antibody-IL-10 fusion proteins on DC maturation induced by Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS; Toll-like receptor 4 ligand). Purified blood mDCs were cultured overnight with 0, 10, or 100 ng / ml LPS in the presence or absence of 10 μg of the indicated recombinant fusion proteins or the same molar concentration of recombinant IL-10. Subsequently, mDCs were stained with anti-CD83 and anti-CD86, and the expression levels of these two surface molecules (an indicator of DC maturation) were measured using flow cytometry. Figure 2 shows that non-targeting human IL-10 somewhat reduced the expression of CD83 and CD86. Compared with non-targeted IL-10, targeted delivery of IL-10 using a recombinant antibody-IL-10 fusion protein was much more efficient in suppressing LPS-induced DC maturation. Anti-CD40(12E12)-IL-10 was somewhat more efficient than the others in suppressing CD86 expression.
[0297] These data demonstrate that a recombinant antibody-IL-10 fusion protein can efficiently target human DCs and thus effectively suppress DC maturation, indicating that targeted delivery of anti-inflammatory cytokines to human APCs can effectively suppress ongoing inflammatory responses by inhibiting the maturation of APCs, including DCs.
[0298] We next found that targeted delivery of IL-10 to DCs using a recombinant fusion protein of antibody and IL-10 could efficiently suppress T cell responses. The effectiveness of the recombinant fusion protein of antibody and IL-10 on T cell responses (Figure 3) was further evaluated. Purified mDCs were incubated with various concentrations of either recombinant human IL-10 or the fusion protein of antibody and IL-10 for 2 hours. CFSE-labeled allogeneic CD4+ T cells were cocultured for 5 days, and T cell proliferation was assessed by measuring CFSE dilution by flow cytometry. Compared with IL-10 alone, the recombinant fusion protein of antibody and IL-10 was much more effective in suppressing allogeneic CD4+ T cell proliferation. 54 nM of IL-10 was required to produce a 50% inhibition of T cell proliferation, whereas when IL-10 was delivered in a targeted manner to DCs, only 5.4 to 0.054 nM (IL-10) was required to achieve a similar effect on T cell proliferation.
[0299] Taken together, these data (Figures 1, 2, and 3) demonstrate that (1) recombinant fusion proteins of antibodies and anti-inflammatory cytokines can effectively target human APCs (Figure 1) in different patterns depending on the APC subset; (2) they can inhibit the activation and maturation of human APCs (including DCs); and (3) they can effectively suppress T cell responses.
[0300] Example 2: Treatment of GVHD with anti-DC-ASGPR Tolerance to specific antigens is the ultimate goal for successful transplantation. Over the past few decades, numerous immunosuppressive drugs have been developed and administered to patients. However, immunosuppression does not guarantee long-term prevention of alloreactivity in patients receiving organ, tissue, and hematopoietic stem cell (HPSC) transplants. As a result, patients die from graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and other severe side effects caused by lifelong immunosuppression. T cell depletion also impairs the graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect in allogeneic HPSC transplants. Furthermore, nonspecific immunosuppression does not preserve existing memory cells or distinguish between alloreactive and nonalloreactive T cells. Therefore, although immunosuppression can control GVHD to some extent, it comes at the cost of increased incidence of graft failure, leukemia relapse, and immunodeficiency against posttransplant infections such as cytomegalovirus (CMV). Therefore, new therapeutic strategies that can prevent GVHD while preserving host immunity against infection are likely to be of great benefit to patients.
[0301] Dendritic cells (DCs), the primary antigen-presenting cells (APCs), can induce host immune responses. DCs also exhibit functional plasticity in regulating immune responses. The ability of DCs as immunoregulators is due in part to the expression of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), including lectins. DC-asialoglycoprotein receptor (DC-ASGPR), a lectin expressed on human DCs, was found to exhibit the unique ability to generate regulatory T cells (Tregs) that produce antigen-specific IL-10. This was true for both self-antigens (prostate-specific antigen) and foreign antigens (influenza HA1), as demonstrated in vitro in humans and in vivo in non-human primates. Antigen-specific Tregs induced by DC-ASGPR efficiently suppressed the proliferation of effector T cells and the expression of inflammatory cytokines. It was further discovered that DC-ASGPR-mediated signals induce DCs to express IL-10, which in turn promotes the generation of antigen-specific Tregs. We sought to verify whether DC-ASGPR-mediated DC activation could generate alloantigen-specific Tregs and thus prevent GVHD and allograft rejection. Data have shown that targeting DC-ASGPR with anti-DC-ASGPR antibodies results in a reduction of allogeneic T cell responses. These T cells can also secrete high levels of IL-10 during their reactivation in response to alloantigens. Therefore, we speculate that DC-ASGPR could be a novel therapeutic target for inhibiting such unwanted immune responses in patients undergoing transplant surgery. This strategy focuses on the induction of alloantigen-specific Tregs and therefore is unlikely to interfere with host immunity against posttransplant infection. Therefore, we hypothesized that targeting DC-ASGPR with anti-DC-ASGPR antibodies not fused to antigens would prevent GVHD and allograft rejection without interfering with host immunity against infection.
[0302] Establishing alloantigen-specific immune tolerance is the ultimate goal for successful transplantation. The novel immunotherapeutic strategy described herein ultimately enables the generation of alloantigen-specific Tregs in patients without interfering with host immunity against post-transplant infection. Therefore, this research has great implications for both medicine and immunology.
[0303] The approach to control GVHD and transplant rejection by targeting DC-ASGPR is highly novel and innovative in terms of both basic immunology and medical implications.
[0304] DC-ASGPR has a specialized function in generating antigen-specific Tregs. The scavenger receptor DC-ASGPR (Li, et al., 2012; Valladeau, et al., 2001) is expressed on subsets of human DCs (blood-myeloid DCs (mDCs) and dermal DCs, but not plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) and Langerhans cells (LCs)), monocytes, macrophages, and B cells (Li, et al., 2012). While epithelial cells express ASGPR, DC-ASGPR does not. DC-ASGPR is expressed in non-human primates (NHPs) (Li, et al., 2012), but not in mice. Mice possess two closely related genes, Mgl-1 and Mgl-2, that are distantly related to human DC-ASGPR, the former of which has a tissue distribution profile that more closely resembles that of this single human gene (not shown).
[0305] A. Anti-DC-ASGPR antibody treatment suppresses proliferation of allogeneic CD4+ and CD8+ T cells To investigate the immunological function of DC-ASGPR, we first generated a mouse monoclonal antibody (mAb) specific for human DC-ASGPR (Li, et al., 2012). To eliminate their nonspecific binding to FcR, we generated a recombinant mAb carrying a mouse variable region chimera with a human κ chain and a human IgG4 carrying two mutations (Reddy, et al., 2000) (Li, et al., 2012). A recombinant control mAb was also generated in the same manner.
[0306] Importantly, note that both DC-ASGPR and dectin-1 (Ni, et al., 2010) possess immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) and can induce IL-10 expression in DCs. However, DC-ASGPR is superior to dectin-1 in generating Tregs (data not shown). In addition, anti-DC-ASGPR mAb does not induce DCs to express IL-1β, IL-23, or IL-12, whereas anti-dectin-1 mAb induces these cytokines, as previously described (Ni, et al., 2010).
[0307] Anti-DC-ASGPR mAb can suppress MHC-mismatched allogeneic T cell responses: The effect of anti-DC-ASGPR mAb on MHC-mismatched allogeneic T cell responses was examined (Figure 4). Various numbers of PKH25-labeled PBMCs from healthy donors were incubated overnight in the presence of anti-DC-ASGPR or control mAb, and then cocultured with CFSE-labeled PBMCs from MHC-mismatched donors (a total of six pairs of MHC-mismatched donors) for 5 days. CFSE - CD4 + T cells and CFSE - CD8 + The percentages of CD4 T cells are shown. + T cells and CD8 + Both T cell proliferations correlated with the number of stimulators (PBMCs from other donors). However, anti-DC-ASGPR mAb did not stimulate allogeneic CD4 +T cells and CD8 + significantly reduced T cell proliferation, especially when the number of stimulators (x-axis) was 12.5 × 10 3 This was especially true when the number of cells / well was greater than 1. Interestingly, the CD4 counts calculated at the end of the culture + T cells and CD8 + The total number of T cells was similar in both groups (control group and anti-DC-ASGPR mAb-treated group) (not shown).
[0308] B. IL-10 secreted from anti-DC-ASGPR-activated PBMCs contributes to the suppression of allogeneic CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses. We further found that the allogeneic T cell proliferation reduced by anti-DC-ASGPR mAb was restored (approximately 60-70%) by neutralizing IL-10 on day 1 (2 hours before adding MHC-mismatched PBMCs to the culture) (Figure 5), suggesting that IL-10 secreted from anti-DC-ASGPR-activated APCs contributes to the reduced proliferation of T cells from MHC-mismatched donors.
[0309] C. Anti-DC-ASGPR antibody treatment reduces IFNg-producing regulatory T cell responses but enhances IL-10-producing regulatory T cell responses. At day 8 of co-culture with PBMCs from an MHC-mismatched healthy donor, CFSE low CD4 + T cells were sorted by FACS and subsequently restimulated with T cell-depleted (from stimulatory factors) PBMCs for 48 hours. The amounts of IL-10 and IFNγ in the supernatant were measured (Figure 6). MHC-mismatched CD4 + For T cells, CD4 T cells co-cultured with the same PBMCs treated with control mAb were +Compared with T cells, the amount of IFNγ secreted was decreased, but the amount of IL-10 secreted was increased, suggesting that treatment of PBMCs with anti-DC-ASGPR mAb promotes the induction of alloantigen-specific Tregs, which may play an important role in inhibiting GVHD and allograft rejection in vivo.
[0310] D. Anti-DC-ASGPR antibody treatment suppresses GVHD in vivo The applicants further evaluated the in vivo effects of anti-DC-ASGPR mAb. - / - (NOG) mice (5 mice / group) were treated with 50 × 10 PBMCs from healthy donors on day 0. 6 Mice were intravenously injected with 100 μg of antibody (250 μg / each dose) or PBS three times on days 0, 2, and 4. Figure 7 shows that administration of anti-DC-ASGPR resulted in improved survival of mice compared with control IgG or PBS (p<0.001).
[0311] Taken together, these data demonstrate that targeting DC-ASGPR with anti-DC-ASGPR mAb promotes antigen-specific Treg responses, which may also be applicable to the in vivo establishment of alloantigen-specific Tregs. The data and methods described herein are useful in the research and development of novel therapeutic agents that can effectively inhibit GVHD and allograft rejection without interfering with the host immune response to infection.
[0312] We have focused on a novel antibody that binds to DC-ASGPR, which can induce DCs to secrete IL-10 and induce alloantigen-specific Tregs that produce IL-10 in the presence of alloantigen. Thus, our strategy for inhibiting GVHD and allograft rejection is based on two distinct but compensatory mechanisms (Figure 8). First, Direct Route), IL-10 secreted from DCs activated by DC-ASGPR appears to directly inhibit allogeneic T cell responses at an early time point, as shown in Figure 5. Second, Indirect route ), IL-10 induced by DC-ASGPR may contribute to the induction of IL-10-producing alloantigen-specific Tregs, as shown in Figure 6. These two pathways result in improved survival of NOG mice transferred with human PBMCs (Figure 7). Such alloantigen-specific Tregs express IL-10 when activated in vivo where alloantigens are available (Sagoo, et al., 2011).
