[0007] Galectin-3 (Gal3) has been implicitly shown to possess immunomodulatory activity. An example of this is Gal3 and T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin-domain-containing Gal3 (T-cell immunoglobulin-3). This is an interaction between immunoglobulin and mucin-domain containing-3 (TIM-3), which can cause suppression of the immune response, such as T cell activation, allowing cancer cells to evade immune clearance. This phenomenon and methods for inhibiting it are illustrated in Patent Documents 1 and 2 (each of which is incorporated herein by express reference in whole).
[0008] The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, has had a tremendous impact on human mortality, the global economy, and the burden on public health infrastructure worldwide.

[0019] Detailed explanation Galectin-3 (Gal3, GAL3) is known to play a crucial role in cell proliferation, adhesion, differentiation, angiogenesis, and apoptosis. This activity is at least partially due to its immunomodulatory properties and binding affinity to other immunomodulatory proteins, signaling proteins, and other cell surface markers. Gal3 functions through distinct N-terminal and C-terminal domains. The N-terminal domain (isoform 1: amino acids 1-111, isoform 3: amino acids 1-125) is a tandem repeat domain (TRD, isoform 1: amino acids 36-109, isoform 3: amino acids 50-123). It contains and is responsible for most of the oligomerization of Gal3. The C-terminal domain (isoform 1: amino acids 112-250, isoform 3: amino acids 126-264) contains a carbohydrate recognition binding domain (CRD), which binds to β-galactosides. An exemplary sequence of human Gal3 isoform 1 (NCBI reference number NP_002297.2) is shown in SEQ ID NO: 1. An exemplary sequence of human Gal3 isoform 3 (NCBI reference number NP_001344607.1) is shown in SEQ ID NO: 2.
[0020] Furthermore, Gal3 plays a crucial role in promoting the recruitment of leukocytes to the site of infection by pathogens, such as viruses. Increased cytokine release by leukocytes fighting viral infections can trigger cytokine release syndrome (CRS, or "cytokine storm"). CRS is a leading cause of fatal outcomes in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses. Inhibition of Gal3 activity disrupts leukocyte recruitment and reduces levels of harmful cytokine production.
[0021] In some embodiments, an anti-Gal3 antibody or a conjugated fragment thereof, or a composition comprising an anti-Gal3 antibody or a conjugated fragment thereof, is provided. In some embodiments, the anti-Gal3 antibody or its conjugated fragment binds to the N-terminal domain, N-terminus, and / or TRD of Gal3. In some embodiments, the anti-Gal3 antibody or its conjugated fragment binds to the C-terminal domain, C-terminus, and / or CRD of Gal3. In some embodiments, the anti-Gal3 antibody or its conjugated fragment does not bind to the N-terminal domain, N-terminus, and / or TRD of Gal3. In some embodiments, the anti-Gal3 antibody or its conjugated fragment does not bind to the C-terminal domain, C-terminus, and / or CRD of Gal3.
[0022] Some embodiments disclosed herein are antibodies specific to galectin-3 (Gal3) and their conjugated fragments, as well as methods of using them for the treatment or prevention of viral infections, such as SARS-CoV-2 infection, SARS-related coronavirus infection, or other coronavirus infections. The anti-Gal3 antibodies and their conjugated fragments disclosed herein interfere with the interaction between Gal3 and the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein. The anti-Gal3 antibodies and their conjugated fragments disclosed herein also interfere with the interaction between Gal3 and host cell receptors that the virus uses to enter host cells, such as ACE2 and / or CD147. Also disclosed herein are methods of using anti-Gal3 antibodies and their conjugated fragments to reduce or inhibit toxicity resulting from cytokine release syndrome (CRS), which may occur as a result of respiratory viral infections, such as SARS-CoV-2 infection, as well as for the treatment of sequelae of viral infections, such as pulmonary fibrosis resulting from respiratory viral infections, such as SARS-CoV-2 infection.
[0023] Provided herein are anti-Gal3 antibodies or their conjugated fragments, as well as embodiments relating to methods for interfering with the interaction between Gal3 and a viral protein or host receptor protein, and their use therefor. In some embodiments, this interference is used to treat an ongoing viral infection. In some embodiments, the viral infection is a coronavirus infection. In some embodiments, the viral infection is a SARS-CoV-2 virus infection. In other embodiments, this interference is used to treat the after-effects of a previous viral infection.
[0024] In some embodiments, the method involves an antibody that binds to Gal3 and interferes with the interaction between Gal3 and another protein, such as a viral protein or a host receptor protein. This results in direct or indirect occlusion of the interaction region between Gal3 and the other protein, for example, a conformational change of Gal3, which in turn prevents it from binding to the other protein or from being active with the other protein. The binding can be such that it does not occur. This can also be a result of binding to a first section of Gal3, where a portion of the antibody interferes with or modifies the interaction between Gal3 and other proteins. In some embodiments, the first section of Gal3 is the N-terminal domain of Gal3, the tandem repeat domain (TRD) of Gal3, or the C-terminal domain of Gal3. In some embodiments, the antibody that binds to Gal3 does not bind to the C-terminal domain of Gal3.
[0025] In some embodiments, a method is provided for interfering with the interaction between Gal3 and a viral protein or host receptor protein. In some embodiments, the method involves contacting the interaction site between Gal3 and the viral protein or host receptor protein with an antibody or its binding fragment that selectively binds to Gal3 and interferes with the interaction between Gal3 and the viral protein or host receptor protein.
[0026] In some embodiments, methods are provided for using an anti-Gal3 antibody or a conjugated fragment thereof, or a composition comprising an anti-Gal3 antibody or a conjugated fragment thereof, to block or interfere with an interaction between Gal3 and another protein, either in vitro or in vivo. In some embodiments, the interaction is between Gal3 and a viral protein. In some embodiments, the viral protein is a coronavirus protein. In some embodiments, the viral protein is a SARS-CoV-2 protein. In some embodiments, the viral protein is a SARS-CoV-2 S, E, M, or HE protein. In some embodiments, the viral protein is a SARS-CoV-2 S protein. In some embodiments, the interaction is between Gal3 and a host receptor protein that the virus uses to enter a host cell. In some embodiments, the host receptor protein is a protein used by the coronavirus to enter a host cell. In some embodiments, the host receptor protein is a protein used by the SARS-CoV-2 virus to enter a host cell. In some embodiments, the host receptor protein is ACE2 and / or CD147. In some embodiments, a method of using an anti-Gal3 antibody or its conjugate fragment, or a composition containing an anti-Gal3 antibody or its conjugate fragment, to block or interfere with the interaction between Gal3 and another protein is used to treat, cure, or prevent a disease or disorder in a subject. In some embodiments, the disease or disorder is a viral infection, e.g., SARS-CoV-2 infection or other coronavirus infection. In some embodiments, the disease or disorder is a sequela of a previous viral (e.g., SARS-CoV-2 or other coronavirus) infection. In some embodiments, the sequela includes fibrosis, e.g., pulmonary fibrosis. In some embodiments, the anti-Gal3 antibody or its conjugate fragment is administered in combination with another antiviral or anti-inflammatory therapy. In some embodiments, the disease or disorder is CRS. In some embodiments, CRS is a result of a viral infection.In some embodiments, CRS is a result of SARS-CoV-2 infection or other coronavirus infection. In some embodiments, the disease or disorder is sepsis. In some embodiments, the disease or disorder is viral sepsis. In some embodiments, CRS is a result of sepsis caused by a viral infection. In some embodiments, CRS is a result of sepsis caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection or other coronavirus infection.
[0027] Also disclosed herein are methods for reducing or inhibiting inflammation in subjects where it is necessary to reduce or inhibit inflammation. In some embodiments, the method comprises administering an effective amount of anti-Gal3 antibody or a conjugated fragment thereof to the subject. The inflammation may or may not be associated with a viral infection, such as coronavirus infection. In some embodiments, the inflammation may be associated with a disease, such as an inflammatory disease or an autoimmune disease. For example, an inflammatory disease may be lung This may include inflammation, COPD, pneumonitis, asthma, sarcoidosis, pulmonary fibrosis, histiocytosis, bronchiolitis obliterans, or any combination thereof, or autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, Graves' disease, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Sjögren's syndrome, celiac disease, or any combination thereof. The inflammation may be associated with neutrophil activation and / or migration, and administration of an anti-Gal3 antibody or its conjugate fragment reduces or inhibits neutrophil activation and / or migration.
[0028] Additional aspects of this disclosure generally relate to pharmaceutically acceptable antibody preparations comprising an antibody that binds to Gal3 and one or more excipients, diluents, carriers, salts, and buffers. These pharmaceutically acceptable antibody preparations are used to treat diseases, e.g., infections caused by pathogens, e.g., viruses, and / or inflammation associated with the diseases described above or disclosed herein.

[0030] definition In the following detailed description, the accompanying drawings forming parts of this application are referenced. In the drawings, similar symbols typically identify similar components unless otherwise specified by the context. The exemplary embodiments described in the detailed description, drawings, and claims are not intended to be limiting. Other embodiments may be used and other modifications may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the subject matter presented herein. The aspects of this disclosure, as generally described herein and shown in the drawings, can be arranged, substituted, combined, separated, and designed in a variety of different configurations, all of which are expressly assumed herein.
[0031] Unless otherwise defined, scientific and technical terms used herein have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this disclosure pertains. For the purposes of this disclosure, the following terms are defined below:
[0032] The articles "a" and "an" are used herein to refer to one or more (e.g., at least one) of the grammatical objects of the article. For example, "an" The term "element" refers to one or more elements.
[0033] "Approximately" means a quantity, level, value, number, frequency, percentage, dimension, size, amount, weight, or length that varies by only about 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1% relative to the reference quantity, level, value, number, frequency, percentage, dimension, size, amount, weight, or length.
[0034] Throughout this specification, unless otherwise required by the context, the words “comprise,” “comprises,” and “comprising” encompass the steps or elements or groups of steps or elements described, but do not exclude any other steps or elements or groups of steps or elements. It is understood that these implies: "consisting of" means including and being limited to any of the elements preceding the phrase "consisting of." Thus, the phrase "consisting of" indicates that the listed elements are required or mandatory, and that other elements may not be present. "essentially consisting of" means including any of the elements listed before the phrase, and being limited to other elements that do not interfere with or contribute to the activity or action of the listed elements as specified in this disclosure. Thus, the phrase "essentially consisting of" indicates that the listed elements are required or mandatory, while other elements are optional and may or may not be present, depending on whether they substantially affect the activity or action of the listed elements.
[0035] The term “coronavirus,” as used herein, refers to a family of enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses that infect mammals and birds. In humans, coronavirus infections can cause mild symptoms such as the common cold, or more severe respiratory conditions, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), cough, congestion, sore throat, shortness of breath, pneumonia, bronchitis, and hypoxia. Other symptoms include, but are not limited to, fever, fatigue, muscle aches, and gastrointestinal symptoms, such as vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. The viral envelope contains the spike ("S"), envelope ("E"), membrane ("M"), and hemagglutinin esterase ("HE") transmembrane structure proteins. The S protein contains a receptor-binding domain ("RBD"), which is a highly immunogenic region that determines the host receptor specificity of the viral lineage. The viral nucleocapsid contains multiple nucleocapsid ("N" or "NP") proteins that coat the RNA genome. During infection, the S protein attaches to a host cell receptor, initiating entry into the host cell via endocytosis or envelope membrane fusion. The RNA genome is translated by host ribosomes to produce new structural proteins and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase that replicates the viral genome. The viral particles are assembled in the host endoplasmic reticulum and shedged by Golgi-mediated exocytosis. Further information on the structure and infection cycle of coronaviruses can be found in Non-Patent Literature 1 (which is incorporated herein in its entirety by express reference).
[0036] The terms “SARS-CoV-2” and “2019-nCoV,” as used herein, refer to the lineage of coronaviruses that caused the human coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic. Its transmissibility, long incubation period, and modern globalization have led to the worldwide spread of the virus. The development of SARS and other respiratory problems in infected individuals has resulted in immense stress on healthcare infrastructure. While testing is ongoing, there are currently no approved treatments or vaccines for SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses in humans. Like the original SARS virus (SARS-CoV-1), SARS-CoV-2 infects human cells by binding to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) via the RBD of its S protein. The SARS-CoV-2 virus may also enter host cells using the CD147 (basidine, EMMPRIN) host cell receptor. The embodiments disclosed herein may be applied to other coronaviruses, including but not limited to HCoV-229E, HCoV-OC43, SARS-CoV-1, HCoV NL63, HKU1, and MERS-CoV. An exemplary sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein (NBCI reference number QHD43416.1) is shown in SEQ ID NO: 819. An exemplary sequence of human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is shown in SEQ ID NO: 820. An exemplary sequence of human CD147 (basidine, EMMPRIN) (NCBI reference number Q54A51) is shown in SEQ ID NO: 821.
[0037] The terms “sequela” or “sequelae” as used herein refer to conditions resulting from a previous illness, disability, or condition. This refers to a disease, disorder, or condition. Since coronaviruses, such as SARS-CoV-2, are respiratory viruses, lung complications are a common sequela of coronavirus infection. This includes pulmonary fibrosis and / or pulmonary edema. Other sequelae observed in patients with COVID-19 include, but are not limited to, other fibroses, cardiovascular diseases, thrombosis, neurological disorders, kidney diseases, or liver diseases.
[0038] The terms "cytokine release syndrome" (CRS) or "cytokine storm," as used herein, refer to the uncontrolled release of pro-inflammatory cytokines by immune cells, including T cells, natural killer cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, B cells, monocytes, neutrophils, leukocytes, and lymphocytes, in response to disease, infection, or immunotherapy.

[0039] As used herein, the term "cytokine" refers to small proteins, polypeptides, or peptides involved in inflammatory signaling, or proteins released by a population of cells that act as intercellular mediators to other cells or have an autocrine effect on protein-producing cells. Cytokines include chemokines, interferons, interleukins, lymphokines, monokines, tumor necrosis factor, CCL1, CCl2, CCL3, CCL4, CCL5, CCL6, CCL7, CCL8, CCL9, CCL11, CCL12, CCL13, CCL14, CCL15, CCL16, CCL17, CCL18, CCL19, CCL20, CCL21, CCL22, CCL23, CCL24, CCL25, CCL26, CCL27, CCL28, CXCL1, CXCL2, and CXCL3. , CXCL4, CXCL5, CXCL6, CXCL7, CXCL8, CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11, CXCL12, CXCL13, CXCL14, CXCL15, CXCL16, CXCL17, CX3CL1, XCL1, XCL2, I NFα, INFβ, INFγ, IL-1, IL-1a, IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-9, IL-10, IL-11, IL-12, IL-13, IL-14, IL-15, IL-16, IL-1 7, IL-17A-F, IL-18, IL-19, IL-20, IL-21, IL-22, IL-23, IL-24, IL-25, IL-26, IL-27, IL-28, IL-29, IL-3 0, IL-31, IL-32, IL-33, IL-34, IL-35, IL-36, IL-37, IL-38, aldesleukin, GM-CSF, TNFα, TNFβ, TNFγ, TGF-I-3 This includes, but is not limited to, TNFSF4, TNFSF5, TNFSF6, TNFSF7, TNFSF8, TNFSF9, TNFSF10, TNFSF11, TNFSF12, TNFSF13, TNFSF13B, TNFSF14, TNFSF15, TNFSF18, or TNFSF19, leukemia inhibitor (LIF), ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), CNTF-like cytokine (CLC), cardiotrophin (CT), Kit ligand (KL), or any combination thereof.
[0040] As used herein, the terms “individual,” “subject,” and “patient” mean any mammal. In some embodiments, the mammal is human. In some embodiments, the mammal is non-human. None of the terms require, or are not limited to, a situation characterized by supervision (e.g., constant or intermittent) of a healthcare professional (e.g., physician, registered nurse, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, or hospice worker).
[0041] As used herein, the terms “polypeptide,” “peptide,” and “protein” are interchangeable herein to refer to polymers of amino acids of any length. The polymers may be linear, cyclic, or branched, and may contain modified amino acids or have non-amino acids interspersed. The terms also encompass amino acid polymers modified, for example, through sulfation, glycosylation, lipidation, acetylation, phosphorylation, iodization, methylation, oxidation, proteolytic processing, phosphorylation, prenylation, racemization, selenoylation, transfer RNA-mediated addition of amino acids to proteins, such as arginylation, ubiquitination, or any other manipulation, such as conjugation with a labeled component.
[0042] As used herein, the term “amino acid” refers to natural and / or unnatural or synthetic amino acids, including glycine and both D and L optical isomers, and amino acid analogs and peptide mimics.
[0043] A polypeptide or amino acid sequence "derived" from a specified protein refers to the origin of the polypeptide. Preferably, the polypeptide has an amino acid sequence that is essentially identical to the polypeptide encoded in the sequence, or to the amino acid sequence of that portion consisting of at least 10-20 amino acids, at least 20-30 amino acids, or at least 30-50 amino acids, or is immunologically identifiable using the polypeptide encoded in the sequence. This scientific term also includes polypeptides expressed from a specified nucleic acid sequence.
[0044] As used herein, the term “antibody” is intended to include any polypeptide chain-containing molecular structure having a specific shape that fits and recognizes an epitope, wherein one or more non-covalent interactions stabilize the complex between the molecular structure and the epitope. The antibodies used in the present invention may be polyclonal antibodies, but monoclonal antibodies are preferred because they are regenerative by cell culture or recombination and can be modified to reduce their antigenicity.
[0045] In addition to whole immunoglobulins (or their recombinant counterparts), immunoglobulin fragments or "binding fragments" containing epitope binding sites (e.g., Fab', F(ab')2, one) are also included. Variable chain fragments (scFv), diabodies, minibodies, nanobodies, single-domain antibodies (sdAb), or other fragments are useful as antibody moieties in the present invention. Such antibody fragments may be generated from whole immunoglobulins by cleavage with lysine, pepsin, papain, or other proteases. Miniature immunoglobulins may be designed using recombinant immunoglobulin technology. For example, "Fv" immunoglobulins for use in the present invention may be produced by linking a variable light chain region to a variable heavy chain region via a peptide linker (e.g., polyglycine or another sequence that does not form either an alpha-helix or a beta-sheet motif). Nanobodies or single-domain antibodies may also be derived from alternative organisms, such as dromedary camels, camels, llamas, alpacas, or sharks. In some embodiments, the antibody may be a conjugate, such as a pegylated antibody, drug, radioisotope, or toxin conjugate. Monoclonal antibodies directed against specific epitopes or combinations of epitopes enable the targeting and / or depletion of cell populations expressing markers. Various techniques can be used to screen cell populations expressing markers using monoclonal antibodies, and these techniques include magnetic separation using antibody-coated magnetic beads, "panning" with antibodies attached to a solid matrix (i.e., a plate), and flow cytometry (e.g., Patent Document 3; the whole is incorporated herein by express reference).
[0046] As is well known in the art, the term “Fc region” is used to define the C-terminal region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain. The “Fc region” may be a native sequence Fc region or a variant Fc region. While the boundaries of the Fc region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain can vary, the human IgG heavy chain Fc region is typically defined as extending from an amino acid residue at position Cys226, or Pro230, to its carboxyl terminus. The numbering of residues within the Fc region is the EU index numbering, as in Kabat. Non-patent literature 2. The Fc region of an immunoglobulin generally contains two constant domains, CH2 and CH3. As is well known in the art, the Fc region can exist in dimeric or monomeric form.
[0047] As is well known in the art, the "constant region" of an antibody refers to the constant region of the antibody light chain or the constant region of the antibody heavy chain, either alone or in combination.
[0048] The “variable region” of an antibody refers to the variable region of the antibody light chain or the variable region of the antibody heavy chain, either alone or in combination. As is known in the art, each of the variable regions of the heavy and light chains consists of four framework regions (FRs) connected by three complementarity-determining regions (CDRs), also known as hypervariable regions, and contributes to the formation of the antibody's antigen-binding site. When a variant of the target variable region, particularly a variant having substitutions in amino acid residues outside the CDR region (i.e., within the framework region), is desired, a suitable amino acid substitution, preferably a conserved amino acid substitution, can be identified by comparing the target variable region with the variable regions of other antibodies containing the same canonical class of CDR1 and CDR2 sequences as the target variable region (Non-Patent Literature 3).
[0049] In certain embodiments, definitive range determination of the CDR and identification of residues constituting the antibody binding site are achieved by elucidating the structure of the antibody and / or the structure of the antibody-ligand complex. In certain embodiments, this can be achieved by any of the various techniques known to those skilled in the art, e.g., X-ray crystallography. In certain embodiments, the CDR region can be identified or estimated using various analytical methods. Examples of such methods include the Kabat definition, the Chothia definition, the IMGT approach (Non-Patent Literature 4), computer programs such as Paratome (Non-Patent Literature 5), the AbM definition, and the conformational definition. This includes, but is not limited to, the definition of ().
[0050] The Kabat definition is a standard for numbering residues in antibodies and is typically used to identify CDR regions. See, for example, Non-Patent Document 6. The Chothia definition is similar to the Kabat definition, but takes into account the location of a specific structural loop region. See, for example, Non-Patent Document 7. The AbM definition uses an integrated set of computer programs developed by the Oxford Molecular Group to model antibody structures. See, for example, Non-Patent Document 8. The AbM definition models the tertiary structure of an antibody from its primary sequence using a combination of a knowledge database and the ab initio method, as described in, for example, Non-Patent Document 9. The contact definition is based on the analysis of available complex crystal structures. See, for example, Non-Patent Document 10. In another approach, referred herein as the “conformation definition” of CDRs, the location of a CDR may be identified as a residue that contributes enthalpily to antigen binding. See, for example, Non-Patent Document 11. Furthermore, other CDR boundary definitions may not strictly adhere to one of the approaches described above, but nevertheless overlap with at least a portion of the Kabat CDR, however they may be shortened or extended in light of predictions or experimental findings that certain residues or groups of residues do not significantly affect antigen binding. As used herein, CDR can refer to a CDR defined by any of the approaches known in the art, encompassing combinations of these approaches. Methods used herein may utilize CDRs defined according to any of these approaches. For any given embodiment containing more than one CDR, a CDR may be defined according to any of the Kabat, Chothia, extended, IMGT, Paratome, AbM, and / or conformational definitions, or any combination of the above.
[0051] Where disclosed herein, sequences having identity % (% identity) to any of the sequences disclosed herein are assumed and may be used. The term "identity %" (% identity) refers to the percentage of units (i.e., amino acids or nucleotides) that are the same between two or more sequences compared to their lengths. If the two or more sequences being compared are the same length, identity % is their respective lengths. If the two or more sequences being compared are of different lengths, deletions and / or insertions may be introduced to obtain the best alignment. In some embodiments, these sequences may include peptide sequences, nucleic acid sequences, CDR sequences, variable region sequences, or heavy or light chain sequences. In some embodiments, any sequence having at least 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100% sequence identity with any of the sequences disclosed herein may be used. In some embodiments, any sequence having at least 0, 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, or 50 substitutions, deletions, or additions compared to any of the sequences disclosed herein may be used. Changes in the sequence may be applied, for example, to a single amino acid, a single nucleic acid base, or a nucleic acid codon; differences in longer sequences are also conceivable. When applied to antibody sequences, these differences in the sequence may be applied to antigen-binding regions (e.g., CDRs) or regions that do not bind to the antigen or are only secondary to antigen binding (e.g., framework regions).
[0052] If disclosed herein, homology %( Sequences having % homology are assumed and may be used. The term "% homology" refers to the degree of conservation between two sequences when their three-dimensional structures are taken into account. For example, homology between two protein sequences may depend on the distribution of structural motifs, such as beta strands, alpha helices, and other folds, as well as their distribution throughout the sequence. Homology may be determined through structural determination, either empirically or in silico. In some embodiments, any sequence having at least 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100% sequence homology to any of the sequences disclosed herein may be used. In some embodiments, any sequence having at least 0, 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, or 50 substitutions, deletions, or additions compared to any of the sequences disclosed herein, which may or may not affect the overall homology %.
[0053] Where applicable in this specification, sequences having a certain percentage of similarity to any of the sequences disclosed herein may be assumed and used. In some embodiments, these sequences may include peptide sequences, nucleic acid sequences, CDR sequences, variable region sequences, or heavy or light chain sequences. As understood in the art with respect to peptide sequences, “similarity” refers to a comparison of amino acids based on their properties, which include, but are not limited to, size, polarity, charge, pK, aromaticity, hydrogen bonding properties, or the presence of functional groups (e.g., hydroxyl, thiol, amine, and carboxyl). The term “similarity%” (% similarity) refers to the percentage of units (i.e., amino acids) that are the same between two or more sequences compared to their lengths. If the two or more sequences being compared are the same length, the similarity% is their respective lengths. If the two or more sequences being compared are different lengths, deletions and / or insertions may be introduced to obtain the best alignment. The similarity of two amino acids may determine whether a particular substitution is conserved or non-conserved. Methods for determining the conservation of amino acid substitutions are generally known in the art and may involve substitution matrices. Commonly used substitution matrices include BLOSUM45, BLOSUM62, BLOSUM80, PAM100, PAM120, PAM160, PAM200, and PAM250, but other substitution matrices or approaches may be used where deemed appropriate by those skilled in the art. Certain substitution matrices may be preferred over others when considering aspects such as stringency, conservation and / or differences of related sequences (e.g., within the same species or broader), and the length of the sequence in question. As used herein, a peptide sequence having a certain percentage of similarity to another sequence has up to that percentage of amino acids that are identical or contain acceptable substitutions as defined by the similarity determination method used.In some embodiments, sequences having at least 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100% sequence similarity to any of the sequences disclosed herein may be used. In some embodiments, any sequence having at least 0, 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, or 50 similar substitutions compared to any of the sequences disclosed herein may be used. When applied to an antibody sequence, these similar substitutions may not bind to the antigen-binding region (i.e., CDR) or the antigen. Alternatively, it can be applied to regions that are only secondary to antigen binding (i.e., framework regions).
[0054] When used herein in relation to sequences, the term “consensus sequence” refers to a generalized sequence that represents all different combinations of acceptable amino acids at each position in a group of sequences. A consensus sequence can provide insight into conserved regions of a related sequence where units (e.g., amino acids or nucleotides) are the same for most or all of the sequence, and into regions where the sequences differ. In the case of antibodies, the consensus sequence of a CDR may point to amino acids that are important or not necessarily required for antigen binding. A consensus sequence may be constructed using any of the sequences provided herein, and it is assumed that the various resulting sequences derived from a consensus sequence may be validated for having a similar effect to the template sequence.
[0055] When used herein in relation to antibodies, the term “compete” means that a first antibody, or its antigen-binding moiety, binds to an epitope in a manner sufficiently similar to the binding of a second antibody, or its antigen-binding moiety, and as a result, the binding of the first antibody to that cognitive epitope is detectedly reduced in the presence of the second antibody compared to the binding of the first antibody in the absence of the second antibody. An alternative event may occur in which the binding of the second antibody to its epitope is also detectedly reduced in the presence of the first antibody, but this is not necessary. That is, the first antibody can inhibit the binding of the second antibody to its respective epitope without inhibiting the binding of the first antibody to that epitope. However, if each antibody detectably inhibits the binding of the other antibody to its cognitive epitope or ligand, to the same, greater, or lesser degree, the antibodies are said to “cross-compete” with each other for the binding of their respective epitopes. Both competitive and cross-competitive antibodies are encompassed by the present invention. Regardless of the mechanism by which such competition or cross-competition occurs (e.g., steric hindrance, conformational change, or binding to a common epitope or portion thereof), those skilled in the art will understand, based on the teachings provided herein, that such competitive and / or cross-competitive antibodies are encompassed and may be useful for the methods disclosed herein.
[0056] Antibodies that “preferentially bind” or “specifically bind” (as used interchangeably herein) to an epitope are well understood terms in the art, and methods for determining such specific or preferential binding are also well known in the art. A molecule is said to exhibit “specific binding” or “preferential binding” if it reacts or associates with a particular cell or substance more frequently, and / or more quickly, and / or for a longer duration and / or with higher affinity than with alternative cells or substances. An antibody “specifically binds” or “preferentially binds” to a target if it binds with higher affinity, and / or avidity, and / or more easily and / or for a longer duration than it binds to other substances. For example, an antibody that specifically or preferentially binds to a CFD epitope is an antibody that binds to that epitope with higher affinity, and / or avidity, and / or more easily and / or for a longer duration than it binds to other CFD epitopes or non-CFD epitopes. For example, it can also be understood from reading this definition that an antibody (or partial or epitope) that specifically or preferentially binds to a first target may or may not specifically or preferentially bind to a second target. Therefore, "specific binding" or "preferential binding" does not necessarily require exclusive binding (although it may include exclusive binding). While not always the case, generally, references to binding imply preferential binding.
[0057] As used herein, the term "antigen-binding molecule" refers to an antigen-binding portion that binds to an antigen, and optionally, a conjugate that facilitates the binding of the antigen-binding portion to the antigen-binding portion. This refers to a molecule containing a scaffold or framework portion that enables maceration or provides some additional properties to the antigen-binding molecule. In some embodiments, the antigen is Gal3. In some embodiments, the antigen-binding portion includes at least one CDR from an antibody that binds to the antigen. In some embodiments, the antigen-binding portion includes all three CDRs from the heavy chain of the antibody that binds to the antigen or from the light chain of the antibody that binds to the antigen. In some embodiments, the antigen-binding portion includes all six CDRs from the antibody that binds to the antigen (three from the heavy chain and three from the light chain). In some embodiments, the antigen-binding portion is an antibody fragment.
[0058] Non-exclusive examples of antigen-binding molecules include antibodies, antibody fragments (e.g., antigen-binding fragments of antibodies), antibody derivatives, and antibody analogs. Further specific examples include, but are not limited to, single-strand variable fragments (scFv), nanobodies (e.g., VH domains of camelid heavy-chain antibodies; VHH fragments, see Non-Patent Literature 12), Fab fragments, Fab' fragments, F(ab')2 fragments, Fv fragments, Fd fragments, and complementarity-determining region (CDR) fragments. These molecules may originate from any mammalian source, e.g., humans, mice, rats, rabbits, pigs, dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, guinea pigs, goats, or camelids. Antibody fragments may compete with intact antibodies for binding to target antigens, and fragments may be produced by modifying intact antibodies (e.g., enzymatic or chemical cleavage) or synthesized de novo using recombinant DNA technology or peptide synthesis. The antigen-binding molecule may include, for example, an alternative protein scaffold or an artificial scaffold having a grafted CDR or CDR derivative. Such scaffolds include, but are not limited to, antibody-derived scaffolds, including mutations introduced to stabilize the three-dimensional structure of the antigen-binding molecule, as well as entirely synthetic scaffolds, for example, those containing biocompatible polymers. See, for example, Non-Patent Document 13; Non-Patent Document 14. In addition, besides peptide antibody mimes ("PAMs"), antibody mimeograph-based scaffolds utilizing fibronectin components as scaffolds may be used.
[0059] Antigen-binding molecules can also include proteins containing one or more antibody fragments incorporated into a single polypeptide chain or multiple polypeptide chains. For example, antigen-binding molecules may include, but are not limited to, diabodies (see, e.g., Patent Document 4; Patent Document 5; and Non-Patent Document 15); intrabodies; domain antibodies (a single VL or VH domain or two or more VH domains joined by a peptide linker; see Non-Patent Document 16); maxibodies (two scFv fused to an Fc region; see Non-Patent Documents 17 and 18); triabodies; tetrabodies; minibodies (scFv fused to a CH3 domain; see Non-Patent Document 19); peptidebodies (one or more peptides attached to an Fc region; see Patent Document 6); linear antibodies (a pair of tandem Fd segments (VH-CH1-VH-CH1) that form a pair of antigen-binding regions together with a complementary light chain polypeptide; see Non-Patent Document 20); small modular immunopharmaceuticals (see Patent Document 7); and immunoglobulin fusion proteins (e.g., IgG-scFv, IgG-Fab, 2scFv-IgG, 4scFv-IgG, VH-IgG, IgG-VH, and Fab-scFv-Fc).
[0060] In certain embodiments, the antigen-binding molecule may have, for example, the structure of an immunoglobulin. An "immunoglobulin" is a tetrameric molecule, each tetramer containing two identical pairs of polypeptide chains, each pair having one "light" chain (approximately 25 kDa) and one "heavy" chain (approximately 50-70 kDa). The amino-terminal portion of each chain contains a variable region of approximately 100-110 or more amino acids, which is the main cause of antigen recognition. The carboxyl-terminal portion of each chain defines a constant region, which is the main cause of effector function.
[0061] Unless otherwise specified, the complementary definition areas disclosed herein conform to the IMGT definitions. In some embodiments, CDR may instead be defined by Kabat, Chothia, or other definitions approved by those skilled in the art.
[0062] As used herein, the term “humanized” when applied to non-human (e.g., rodent or primate) antibodies means a hybrid immunoglobulin, immunoglobulin chain or fragment thereof containing the smallest sequence derived from a non-human immunoglobulin.
[0063] As used herein, the terms “to treat” or “treatment” mean (as is commonly understood in the art) an approach to obtain a beneficial or desired outcome in the condition of the subject, encompassing clinical outcomes. Beneficial or desired clinical outcomes may include, but are not limited to, reduction or remission of one or more symptoms or conditions, a decrease in the severity of the disease, stabilization of the disease condition (i.e., prevention of exacerbation), prevention of transmission or spread of the disease, delay or slowing of disease progression, remission or temporary relief of the disease condition, reduction of disease recurrences, and improvement, whether partial or overall, and whether detectable or undetectable. “To treat” and “treatment” also include prophylactic treatment as used herein. A treatment method involves administering a therapeutically effective amount of an activator to the subject. The administration step may consist of a single dose or a series of doses. The composition is administered to the subject in an amount and duration sufficient to treat the patient. The duration of treatment depends on various factors, such as the severity of the condition, the patient's age and genetic profile, the concentration of the activator, the activity of the composition used in the treatment, or a combination thereof. It is also understood that the effective dosage of the agent used for treatment or prevention may be increased or decreased over the course of a particular treatment or prevention regime. Changes in dosage may be made and revealed by standard diagnostic assays known in the art. In some embodiments, chronic administration may be required.
[0064] The terms “effective amount” or “effective dose,” when used herein, have their declarative and ordinary meanings as understood in light of this specification and refer to the amount of the described composition or compound that results in an observable specified effect. The actual dose level of the active ingredient in the active composition of the subject matter of this disclosure can be modified to administer an effective amount of the active composition or compound to achieve a specified response for a particular subject and / or application. The selected dose level can vary based on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the activity of the composition, formulation, route of administration, combination with other drugs or treatments, the severity of the condition being treated, and the physical condition and medical history of the subject being treated. In some embodiments, a minimum dose is administered, and the dose is gradually increased to the minimum effective amount in the absence of dose-limiting toxicity. In addition to determining and adjusting the effective dose, evaluation of the timing and method of making such adjustments is assumed herein.
[0065] In some non-limiting embodiments, the effective amount or effective dose of the composition or compound may relate to an amount or dose that provides a significant, measurable, or sufficient therapeutic effect for the treatment of coronavirus infection, e.g., SARS-CoV-2 infection. In some embodiments, the effective amount or effective dose of the composition or compound may treat, induce remission of, or prevent the progression of inflammation, shortness of breath, fatigue, lung injury, or other symptoms associated with coronavirus infection, e.g., SARS-CoV-2 infection. In some embodiments, the effective amount or effective dose of the composition or compound may treat, induce remission of, or prevent the progression of pneumonic diseases, e.g., COPD, or autoimmune diseases, e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus. In some embodiments, the effective amount or effective dose of the composition or compound may relate to inflammation (associated with viral or other pathogenic infections). It may also treat, alleviate, or prevent the progression of the symptoms and / or causes (including neutrophil activation and migration) (which may be absent).
[0066] The term "administer" includes oral administration, topical contact, administration as a suppository, intravenous, intraperitoneal, intramuscular, intrafocal, intrathecal, intranasal, or subcutaneous administration to a subject, or implantation of a delayed-release device, such as a mini-osmosis pump. Administration is made by any of the following routes, which include parenteral and transmucosal (e.g., buccal, sublingual, palatal, gingival, transnasal, transvaginal, rectal, or transdermal) administration.
