AI Technical Summary
Existing CLDN6 antibody-drug conjugates have a risk of off-target toxicity in clinical applications, especially when targeting CLDN9 simultaneously, resulting in off-tumor toxicity problems, and existing antibodies lack cell binding activity and endocytosis activity in the recognition of CLDN6 variant I143V.
A new anti-CLDN6 antibody has been developed that contains specific heavy and light chain variable region amino acid sequences, binds specific linkers to drug conjugates, forming antibody-drug conjugates, optimizing specific binding and endocytosis activity to CLDN6 and reducing the risk of off-target toxicity.
It improves the specific binding ability and endocytosis activity of antibodies to CLDN6, reduces the risk of off-target toxicity, and enhances the therapeutic effect.

Abstract
Description
Anti-CLDN6 antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates thereof and medical uses thereof
[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed on February 1, 2024 (application number: 2024101420189). Technical Field
[0002] The present disclosure belongs to the field of biotechnology and relates to anti-CLDN6 antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates thereof, and medical uses thereof. Background Art
[0003] The statements herein merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0004] Claudin (hereafter referred to as CLDN) is a tight junction protein. Human CLDN6 (hCLDN6), a member of the CLDN family, is a tetraspanin protein consisting of 220 amino acid residues. CLDN6 is not expressed in adult tissues but is expressed at high levels in various solid tumors, including testicular, ovarian, endometrial, and non-small cell lung cancers. CLDN9, to which it has the highest sequence similarity, is partially expressed in normal tissues.
[0005] Among the currently available CLDN6 antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), two utilize the pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) toxin: Abbive's SC-004 (WO2017096163A1) and Daiichi's DS9606a (WO2019065964A1, WO2020196474A1, WO2020196712A1). Both ADCs utilize bispecific monoclonal antibodies that simultaneously target CLDN6 and 9. SC-004 was discontinued in clinical trials due to high toxicity and low efficacy. Given the extremely low maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of SC-004, at only 0.2 mg / kg, it is impossible to rule out the possibility of CLDN9-mediated off-target toxicity at the effective dose. The antibody portion of another drug, DS9606a, has better cell binding activity, can better recognize the CLDN6 variant I143V, and has good endocytosis activity; its Fc has been silenced and the PBD has been attenuated, but its clinical safety is currently unknown.
[0006] When coupled with the more toxic PBD toxin, simultaneously targeting CLDN9 may bring the risk of off-tumor effects. Therefore, the development of antibodies and ADC drugs that specifically bind to CLDN6 is urgently needed in clinical practice. Summary of the Invention

[0216] the term
[0217] In order to make the present disclosure more easily understood, certain technical and scientific terms are described below. Unless otherwise specifically defined herein, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art.
[0218] As used in the specification and claims, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
[0219] Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, in the patent specification and claims, the words "comprising," "having," "including," and the like should be construed in the sense of "including but not limited to," rather than in an exclusive or exhaustive sense.
[0220] The term "and / or" is intended to include both "and" and "or". For example, the phrase "A, B and / or C" is intended to include each of the following: A, B and C; A, B or C; A or C; A or B; B or C; A and C; A and B; B and C; A (alone); B (alone); and C (alone).
[0221] The three letter and one letter codes for amino acids used in this disclosure are as described in J. biol. chem, 243, p3558 (1968).
[0222] The term "amino acid" refers to naturally occurring and synthetic amino acids, as well as amino acid analogs and amino acid mimetics that function in a manner similar to naturally occurring amino acids. Naturally occurring amino acids are those encoded by the genetic code, as well as those that are later modified, such as hydroxyproline, γ-carboxyglutamate, and O-phosphoserine. Amino acid analogs refer to compounds that have the same basic chemical structure as naturally occurring amino acids (i.e., an alpha carbon bound to a hydrogen, a carboxyl group, an amino group, and an R group), such as homoserine, norleucine, methionine sulfoxide, and methionine methylsulfonium. Such analogs have modified R groups (e.g., norleucine) or modified peptide backbones, but retain the same basic chemical structure as naturally occurring amino acids. Amino acid mimetics refer to chemical compounds that have a structure that is different from the general chemical structure of an amino acid, but function in a manner similar to naturally occurring amino acids.
[0223] The term "amino acid mutation" includes amino acid substitutions (also known as amino acid replacements), deletions, insertions, and modifications. Any combination of substitutions, deletions, insertions, and modifications can be performed to achieve the final construct, as long as the final construct possesses the desired properties, such as reduced binding to Fc receptors. Amino acid sequence deletions and insertions include deletions and insertions at the amino and / or carboxyl termini of the polypeptide chain. Specific amino acid mutations can be amino acid substitutions. In one embodiment, the amino acid mutation is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, i.e., replacing one amino acid with another amino acid having different structural and / or chemical properties. Amino acid substitutions include replacement with non-naturally occurring amino acids or with derivatives of the 20 natural amino acids (e.g., 4-hydroxyproline, 3-methylhistidine, ornithine, homoserine, 5-hydroxylysine). Amino acid mutations can be generated using genetic or chemical methods known in the art. Genetic methods can include site-directed mutagenesis, PCR, gene synthesis, and the like. It is anticipated that methods other than genetic engineering to alter amino acid side chain groups, such as chemical modification, may also be useful. Various names may be used herein to refer to the same amino acid mutation. Herein, the amino acid residue at a specific position can be represented by position + amino acid residue, for example, 82aR means that the amino acid residue at position 82a is R. S82aR means that the amino acid residue at position 82a (also known as 82A) has mutated from S to R.
[0224] The term "antibody" is used in the broadest sense and encompasses various antibody structures, including but not limited to monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies; monospecific antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), full-length antibodies and antibody fragments (or antigen-binding fragments, or antigen-binding portions), so long as they exhibit the desired antigen-binding activity.
[0225] The term "bispecific antibody" refers to an antibody (including an antibody or its antigen-binding fragment, such as a single-chain antibody) that can specifically bind to two different antigens or at least two different antigenic epitopes of the same antigen. The prior art has disclosed bispecific antibodies of various structures. Based on the integrity of the IgG molecule, they can be divided into IgG-like bispecific antibodies and antibody fragment-type bispecific antibodies. Based on the number of antigen-binding regions, they can be divided into bispecific antibodies with different valencies, such as bispecific antibodies with different valencies. Based on whether the structure is symmetrical, they can be divided into bispecific antibodies with different symmetric structures and bispecific antibodies with different asymmetric structures. Among them, bispecific antibodies based on antibody fragments, such as Fab fragments lacking Fc fragments, are formed by combining two or more Fab fragments into one molecule. They have low immunogenicity, small molecular weight, and high tumor tissue permeability. Typical antibody structures of this type include F(ab)2, scFv-Fab, and (scFv)2-Fab; IgG-like bispecific antibodies (for example, with Fc fragments) have a relatively large molecular weight. The Fc fragment helps purify the antibody and improve its solubility and stability. The Fc part may also bind to the receptor FcRn to increase the antibody serum half-life.
[0226] "Native antibodies" refer to naturally occurring immunoglobulin molecules. For example, natural IgG antibodies are heterotetrameric glycoproteins of approximately 150,000 daltons, consisting of two identical light chains and two identical heavy chains bound by disulfide bonds. From N to C-terminus, each heavy chain has a variable region (VH), also known as a variable heavy domain, a heavy chain variable region, followed by a heavy chain constant region, and the natural IgG heavy chain constant region typically contains three constant domains (CH1, CH2, and CH3). Similarly, from N to C-terminus, each light chain has a variable region (VL), also known as a variable light domain, or a light chain variable domain, followed by a constant light domain (light chain constant region, CL). The terms "full-length antibody," "complete antibody," and "whole antibody" are used interchangeably herein and refer to antibodies having a structure substantially similar to that of a natural antibody structure or having a heavy chain with an Fc region as defined herein. A natural complete antibody light chain comprises a light chain variable region VL and a constant region CL, wherein VL is located at the amino terminus of the light chain, and the light chain constant region comprises a kappa chain and a lambda chain; a heavy chain comprises a variable region VH and constant regions (CH1, CH2, and CH3), wherein VH is located at the amino terminus of the heavy chain, and the constant region is at the carboxyl terminus, with CH3 being closest to the carboxyl terminus of the polypeptide. The heavy chain may belong to any isotype, including IgG (including IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4 subtypes), IgA (including IgA1 and IgA2 subtypes), IgM, and IgE.
[0227] The term "variable region" or "variable domain" of an antibody refers to the domain of an antibody heavy or light chain involved in antigen binding. Herein, the heavy chain variable region (VH) and light chain variable region (VL) of an antibody each comprise four conserved framework regions (FRs) and three complementarity determining regions (CDRs). The term "complementarity determining region" or "CDR" refers to the region within the variable domain that primarily contributes to antigen binding; "framework" or "FR" refers to the variable domain residues excluding the CDR residues. The VH comprises three CDR regions: HCDR1, HCDR2, and HCDR3; the VL comprises three CDR regions: LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3. Each VH and VL is composed of three CDRs and four FRs, arranged from the amino terminus (also called the N-terminus) to the carboxyl terminus (also called the C-terminus), in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4.
[0228] The amino acid sequence boundaries of CDRs can be determined by various well-known schemes, for example: "Kabat" numbering convention (see Kabat et al. (1991), "Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest", 5th edition, Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD), "Chothia" numbering convention, "ABM" numbering convention, "contact" numbering convention (see Martin, ACR. Protein Sequence and Structure Analysis of Antibody Variable Domains [J]. 2001) and ImMunoGenTics (IMGT) numbering convention (Lefranc, MP et al., Dev. Comp. Immunol., 27, 55-77 (2003); Front Immunol. 2018 Oct 16; 9: 2278), etc. The correspondence between various numbering systems is well known to those skilled in the art. Exemplary, as shown in Table 1 below.
[0229] Table 1. Relationships between CDR numbering systems
[0230] Unless otherwise specified, the variable regions and CDRs in this disclosure are numbered using the Kabat numbering convention.
[0231] The term "antibody fragment" refers to a molecule other than an intact antibody that comprises a portion of an intact antibody that binds to the antigen to which the intact antibody binds. Examples of antibody fragments include, but are not limited to, Fv, Fab, Fab', Fab'-SH, F(ab')2, single-domain antibodies, single-chain Fab (scFab), diabodies, linear antibodies, single-chain antibodies (e.g., scFv); and multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments.
[0232] The term "Fc region" or "fragment crystallizable region" is used to define the C-terminal region of the antibody heavy chain, including native Fc regions and reconstructed Fc regions. In some embodiments, the Fc region comprises two identical or different subunits. In some embodiments, the Fc region of a human IgG heavy chain is defined as extending from the amino acid residue at position Cys226 or from Pro230 to its carboxyl terminus. Suitable Fc regions for antibodies described herein include the Fc regions of human IgG1, IgG2 (IgG2A, IgG2B), IgG3, and IgG4. In some embodiments, the boundaries of the Fc region can also vary, such as by deleting the C-terminal lysine in the Fc region (residue 447 according to the EU numbering system) or by deleting the C-terminal glycine and lysine in the Fc region (residues 446 and 447 according to the EU numbering system). Unless otherwise indicated, the numbering convention for the Fc region is the EU numbering system, also known as the EU index.
[0233] The term "chimeric" antibody refers to an antibody in which a portion of the heavy and / or light chain is derived from a particular source or species, while the remainder of the heavy and / or light chain is derived from a different source or species.
[0234] The term "humanized" antibody is an antibody that retains the reactivity of a non-human antibody while having lower immunogenicity in humans. For example, this can be achieved by retaining the non-human CDR regions and replacing the rest of the antibody with their human counterparts (i.e., the constant region and the framework region portion of the variable region).
[0235] The terms "human antibody," "humanized antibody," "fully human antibody," and "completely human antibody" are used interchangeably to refer to antibodies whose variable and constant regions are human sequences. The term encompasses antibodies that are derived from human genes but have altered sequences, for example, to reduce potential immunogenicity, increase affinity, or eliminate cysteines or glycosylation sites that may cause undesirable folding. The term encompasses antibodies that are recombinantly produced in non-human cells (which may confer glycosylation that is not characteristic of human cells). The term also encompasses antibodies that have been bred in transgenic mice containing some or all human immunoglobulin heavy and light chain loci. The meaning of human antibody specifically excludes humanized antibodies that comprise non-human antigen-binding residues.
[0236] The term "affinity" refers to the overall strength of the non-covalent interactions between a single binding site of a molecule (e.g., an antibody) and its binding ligand (e.g., an antigen). Unless otherwise indicated, as used herein, binding "affinity" refers to internal binding affinity, which reflects a 1:1 interaction between members of a binding pair (e.g., an antibody and an antigen). The affinity of a molecule X for its ligand Y can generally be represented by a dissociation constant (KD). Affinity can be measured by conventional methods known in the art, including those described herein.
[0237] As used herein, the term "kassoc" or "ka" refers to the association rate of a specific antibody-antigen interaction, and the term "kdis" or "kd" refers to the dissociation rate of a specific antibody-antigen interaction. The term "KD" refers to the dissociation constant, which is obtained from the ratio of kd to ka (i.e., kd / ka) and is expressed as molar concentration (M). The KD value of an antibody can be measured using methods well known in the art. For example, a biosensor system such as a system measuring surface plasmon resonance (e.g., Biacore) is used, or affinity in a solution is measured by solution equilibrium titration (SET).
[0238] The term "surface plasmon resonance" refers to an optical phenomenon that allows analysis of real-time interactions by detecting changes in protein concentration within a biosensor matrix, for example, using a BIAcore™ system (Biacore LifeSciences division of GE Healthcare, Piscataway, NJ).
[0239] The term "effector function" refers to those biological activities attributable to the Fc region of an antibody (either a native sequence Fc region or an amino acid sequence mutated Fc region) and varies with the antibody isotype. Examples of antibody effector functions include, but are not limited to, C1q binding and complement-dependent cytotoxicity, Fc receptor binding, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), phagocytosis, downregulation of cell surface receptors (e.g., B cell receptors), and B cell activation.
[0240] The term "monoclonal antibody" refers to a group of substantially homogeneous antibodies, i.e., the amino acid sequences of the antibody molecules contained in the group are identical, except for the natural mutations that may be present in small amounts. In contrast, polyclonal antibody preparations are typically comprised of a variety of different antibodies with different amino acid sequences in their variable domains, which are typically specific for different epitopes. "Monoclonal" represents the characteristic of an antibody obtained from a substantially homogeneous antibody population, and should not be interpreted as requiring the production of an antibody by any ad hoc method. In some embodiments, the antibody provided by the present disclosure is a monoclonal antibody.
[0241] The term "antigen" refers to a molecule or portion of a molecule that can be bound by a selective binding agent such as an antigen binding protein (including, for example, an antibody) and that can additionally be used in an animal to produce antibodies that can bind to the antigen. An antigen may have one or more epitopes that can interact with different antigen binding proteins (e.g., antibodies).
[0242] The term "epitope" refers to an area or region on an antigen that is capable of specific binding to an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof. An epitope can be formed by a continuous string of amino acids (linear epitope) or comprise non-contiguous amino acids (conformational epitope), for example, brought into spatial proximity by folding of the antigen (i.e., by tertiary folding of a proteinaceous antigen). Conformational epitopes differ from linear epitopes in that antibody binding to a conformational epitope is lost in the presence of denaturing solvents. An epitope comprises at least 3, at least 4, at least 5, at least 6, at least 7, or 8-10 amino acids in a unique spatial conformation. Screening for antibodies that bind to a specific epitope (i.e., those that bind to the same epitope) can be performed using routine methods in the art, such as, but not limited to, alanine scanning, peptide blotting, peptide cleavage analysis, epitope excision, epitope extraction, chemical modification of the antigen (see Prot. Sci. 9 (2000) 487-496), and cross-blocking.
[0243] The terms "capable of specific binding", "specific binding" or "binding" refer to an antibody that is able to bind to an antigen or an epitope of the antigen with a higher affinity than to other antigens or epitopes. -7 M or less (e.g., about 1×10 -8 M, 1×10 -9 M, 1×10 -10 M, 1×10 -11 The antibody binds to the antigen or an epitope within the antigen with an equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) of 10% or less (e.g., 1%) of the KD of the antibody binding to a nonspecific antigen (e.g., BSA, casein). KD can be measured using known methods, for example, by However, an antibody that specifically binds to an antigen or an epitope within an antigen may have cross-reactivity to other related antigens, for example, to corresponding antigens from other species (homologous), such as humans or monkeys, e.g., Macaca fascicularis (cynomolgus, cyno), Pan troglodytes (chimpanzee, chimp), or Callithrix jacchus (common marmoset, marmoset).
[0244] The term "antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity," "antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity," or "ADCC" is a mechanism of inducing cell death that relies on the interaction of antibody-coated target cells with effector cells with lytic activity (such as natural killer cells (NK), monocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils) via Fc gamma receptors (Fc gamma R) expressed on effector cells. For example, NK cells express Fc gamma RIIIa, while monocytes express Fc gamma RI, Fc gamma RII, and Fc gamma RIIIa. The ADCC activity of the antibodies provided herein can be assessed using in vitro assays using antigen-expressing cells as target cells and NK cells as effector cells. Cell lysis is detected based on markers released from the lysed cells (e.g., radioactive substrates, fluorescent dyes, or native intracellular proteins).
[0245] The term "antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP)" refers to a mechanism by which antibody-coated target cells are eliminated by internalization by phagocytes, such as macrophages or dendritic cells.
[0246] The term "complement-dependent cytotoxicity" or "CDC" refers to a mechanism of cell death induction in which the Fc effector domain of a target-bound antibody binds to and activates the complement component C1q, which in turn activates the complement cascade, leading to target cell death. Activation of complement can also result in the deposition of complement components on the surface of target cells, which promote CDC by binding to complement receptors (e.g., CR3) on leukocytes.
[0247] The terms "polypeptide" and "protein" are used interchangeably herein to refer to a polymer of amino acid residues. The term applies to amino acid polymers in which one or more amino acid residues is an artificial chemical mimetic of a corresponding naturally occurring amino acid, as well as to naturally occurring amino acid polymers and non-naturally occurring amino acid polymers. Unless otherwise indicated, a particular polypeptide sequence also implicitly encompasses conservatively modified variants thereof.
[0248] The term sequence "identity" refers to the degree (percentage) to which the amino acids / nucleic acids of the two sequences are identical at equivalent positions when two sequences are optimally aligned, introducing gaps when necessary, to obtain maximum sequence identity percentage, and not considering any conservative substitutions as part of sequence identity. For measuring sequence identity percentage, alignment can be achieved by techniques known in the art, for example, using publicly available computer software such as BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN, ALIGN-2 or Megalign (DNASTAR) software. Those skilled in the art can determine the parameters applicable to measuring alignment, including any algorithm required for achieving maximum alignment over the full length of the compared sequences.
[0249] The term "vector" means a polynucleotide molecule capable of transporting another polynucleotide connected thereto. One type of vector is a "plasmid", which refers to a circular double-stranded DNA loop, wherein additional DNA segments can be connected. Another type of vector is a viral vector, such as an adeno-associated viral vector (AAV or AAV2), in which additional DNA segments can be connected to the viral genome. Some vectors can replicate autonomously (for example, bacterial vectors and additional mammalian vectors with bacterial replication origins) in the host cell in which they are introduced. Other vectors (for example, non-additional mammalian vectors) can be integrated into the genome of the host cell after being introduced into the host cell, thereby replicating together with the host genome. The term "expression vector" or "expression construct" refers to a vector that can transform a host cell and contains a nucleic acid sequence for the expression of one or more heterologous coding regions that are operably connected thereto, including guidance and / or control (together with the host cell). Expression constructs can include but are not limited to affecting or controlling transcription, translation and affecting the sequence of RNA splicing of the coding region operably connected thereto when there are introns.
[0250] The terms "host cell," "host cell line," and "host cell culture" are used interchangeably and refer to cells into which exogenous nucleic acids have been introduced, including the offspring of such cells. Host cells include "transformants" and "transformed cells," which include primary transformed cells and offspring derived therefrom, without regard to the number of passages. Offspring may not be identical to the parent cell in nucleic acid content, but may contain mutations. Mutant offspring having the same function or biological activity as screened or selected in the initial transformed cells are included herein. Host cells include prokaryotic and eukaryotic host cells, wherein eukaryotic host cells include, but are not limited to, mammalian cells, insect cell lines, plant cells, and fungal cells. Mammalian host cells include humans, mice, rats, dogs, monkeys, pigs, goats, cattle, horses, and hamster cells, including but not limited to Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, NSO, SP2 cells, HeLa cells, baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells, monkey kidney cells (COS), human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (e.g., Hep G2), A549 cells, 3T3 cells, and HEK-293 cells.Fungal cells include yeast and filamentous fungal cells, including, for example, Pichia pastoris, Pichia finlandica, Pichia trehalophila, Pichia koclamae, Pichia membranaefaciens, Pichia minuta (Ogataea minuta, Pichia lindneri), Pichia truncatula, Pichia thermotolerans, Pichia salictaria, Pichia guercuum, Pichia pijperi, Pichia stiptis, Pichia methanolica, Pichia sp., Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Hansenula polymorpha, polymorpha), Kluyveromyces, Kluyveromyces lactis, Candida albicans, Aspergillus nidulans, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus oryzae, Trichoderma reesei, Chrysosporium lucknowense, Fusarium sp., Fusarium gramineum, Fusarium venenatum, Physcomitrella patens, and Neurospora crassa. Pichia, any Saccharomyces spp., Hansenula polymorpha, any Kluyveromyces spp., Candida albicans, any Aspergillus spp., Trichoderma reesei, Chrysosporium lucknowense, any Fusarium spp., Yarrowia lipolytica, and Neurospora crassa.
[0251] "Cell," "cell line," and "cell culture" are used interchangeably, and all such designations include progeny. Thus, the terms "transformants" and "transformed cells" include the primary subject cell and cultures derived therefrom, regardless of the number of passages. It is also understood that not all progeny have exactly the same DNA content, due to intentional or unintentional mutations. Mutant progeny that have the same function or biological activity as the original transformed cell are included.
[0252] The term "alkyl" refers to a saturated straight-chain or branched aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 or 20) carbon atoms (i.e., C 1-20 The alkyl group is preferably an alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms (i.e., C 1-12 alkyl), more preferably an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms (i.e., C 1-6 Non-limiting examples include: methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, sec-butyl, n-pentyl, 1,1-dimethylpropyl, 1,2-dimethylpropyl, 2,2-dimethylpropyl, 1-ethylpropyl, 2-methylbutyl, 3-methylbutyl, n-hexyl, 1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl, 1,1,2-trimethylpropyl, 1,1-dimethylbutyl, 1,2-dimethylbutyl, 2,2-dimethylbutyl, 1,3-dimethylbutyl, 2-ethylbutyl, 2-methylpentyl, 3-methylpentyl, 4-methylpentyl, 2,3-dimethylbutyl, n-heptyl, 2-methylhexyl, 3-methylhexyl, 4-methylhexyl, 5-methylhexyl, 2 ,3-dimethylpentyl, 2,4-dimethylpentyl, 2,2-dimethylpentyl, 3,3-dimethylpentyl, 2-ethylpentyl, 3-ethylpentyl, n-octyl, 2,3-dimethylhexyl, 2,4-dimethylhexyl, 2,5-dimethylhexyl, 2,2-dimethylhexyl, 3,3-dimethylhexyl, 4,4-dimethylhexyl, 2-ethylhexyl, 3-ethylhexyl, 4-ethylhexyl, 2-methyl-2-ethylpentyl, 2-methyl-3-ethylpentyl, n-nonyl, 2-methyl-2-ethylhexyl, 2-methyl-3-ethylhexyl, 2,2-diethylpentyl, n-decyl, 3,3-diethylhexyl, 2,2-diethylhexyl, and various branched-chain isomers thereof.

The concentrated virus was used to infect 293T cells (Chinese Academy of Sciences Cell Bank, GNHu17), selected with puromycin for two to three weeks, and then single-cell sorted by FACS. The selected monoclonal cell lines were expanded and frozen.
[0357] Note: The ECD sequences of SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID NO: 2 are identical, the ECD sequences of SEQ ID NO: 3 and SEQ ID NO: 4 are identical, and the ECD sequences of SEQ ID NO: 7 and SEQ ID NO: 9 are identical. Therefore, it suffices to construct any one of these sequences; that is, binding to human CLDN6 is assumed to also bind to cynomolgus monkey CLDN6, binding to human CLDN9 is assumed to also bind to cynomolgus monkey CLDN9, and binding to mouse CLDN9 is assumed to also bind to rat CLDN9.

[0383] 2. Preparation of ADC
[0384] Analysis of drug loading in ADC stock solution
[0385] ADCs are antibody-drug conjugates that treat diseases by relying on the antibody's targeted properties to deliver the drug into cells, thereby killing or inhibiting cell growth. The drug loading plays a decisive role in its efficacy.
[0386] This disclosure uses RP-HPLC to analyze drug loading, and the process is basically as follows:
[0387] Reagents and instruments:
[0388] Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA): produced by Sigma, 100 mL / bottle; acetonitrile: LC grade, 4 L / bottle, produced by Thermo Fisher; DTT: produced by Sigma, 1 g / bottle.
[0389] High performance liquid chromatograph: Agilent 1200.
[0390] Solution preparation:
[0391] 1) 0.25M DTT solution:
[0392] Preparation example: Take 5.78 mg of DTT and add 150 μL of purified water to fully dissolve it to prepare 0.25 M DTT solution. Store at -20°C.
[0393] 2) Mobile phase A (0.1% TFA aqueous solution):
[0394] Preparation example: Measure 1000 mL of purified water into a graduated cylinder, add 1 mL of TFA, mix thoroughly before use, and store at 2-8°C for 14 days.
[0395] 3) Mobile phase B (0.1% TFA acetonitrile solution):
[0396] Preparation example: Measure 1000 mL of acetonitrile into a measuring cylinder, add 1 mL of TFA, mix thoroughly before use, and store at 2-8°C for 14 days.
[0397] Naked antibody and test sample (concentration 1 mg / mL, about 200 μL) were reduced by adding 4 μL DTT and incubated in a 37°C water bath for 1 hour. After reduction, the samples were removed from the tube and used for injection.
[0398] Chromatographic conditions:
[0399] Chromatographic column: Agilent PLRP-S1000A 8μm 4.6*250mm; column temperature: 80℃;
[0400] DAD detector: detection wavelength 280 nm; sample chamber temperature: 4°C; flow rate: 1 mL / min;
[0401] Injection volume: 40 μL;
[0402] The chromatographic gradient is shown in Table 4:
[0403] Table 4
[0404] Data Analysis:
[0405] By comparing the spectra of the sample and naked antibody, the positions of the light and heavy chains are distinguished, and then the spectrum of the test sample is integrated to calculate the DAR value. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0406] Table 5
[0407] Sum of LC peak areas = LC peak area + LC+1 peak area;
[0408] The sum of HC peak areas = HC peak area + HC+1 peak area + HC+2 peak area + HC+3 peak area;
[0409] LC DAR = Σ(number of linked drugs * peak area percentage) / total LC peak area;
[0410] HC DAR = Σ(number of connected drugs * peak area percentage) / sum of HC peak areas;
[0411] DAR=LC DAR+HC DAR.
