Anti-b7-h3 antibodies and medical uses thereof
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application CN202411286229.6 filed on September 13, 2024 and Chinese Patent Application CN202510527780.3 filed on April 25, 2025. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present disclosure is in the field of biotechnology, and more specifically, the present disclosure relates to anti-B7-H3 antibodies and medical uses thereof. BACKGROUND
[0003] The statements herein are provided only to provide background information related to the present disclosure and do not necessarily constitute the prior art.
[0004] B7-H3, also known as CD276, belongs to single transmembrane protein, with a full length of about 54KD; the extracellular domain of B7-H3 is composed of two tandem repeated IgV / C domains, which are IgV1-IgC1-IgV2-IgC2; in the human body, B7-H3 exists in the form of 4Ig domain and 2Ig domain (Vigdorovich, V., et al. Structure, 2013, 21(5): 707-717; Sutton, M.N., et al. Communications biology, 7(1): 21). B7-H3 belongs to the B7 / CD28 immune checkpoint family, can bind to the receptor on T cells to help tumor achieve immune escape, but the receptor of B7H3 on T cells has not been confirmed, and its sequence similarity with PD-L1 (B7-H1) and PD-L2 (B7-DC) in the same family is about 29%, 26% (Wang, C., et al. Cell stem cell, 2021, 28(9): 1597-1613). B7-H3 also plays a role of co-stimulation or co-inhibition in immune regulation, can act as an inhibitory receptor of NK cells and T cells, help tumor achieve immune escape, and also can act as a co-stimulatory factor to promote the response to inflammation and enhance the production of pro-inflammatory factors in inflammatory response (Tyagi, A., et al. Blood, 2022, 139(18): 2782-2796). On the other hand, B7-H3 is overexpressed in a variety of tumors, especially lung cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, endometrial cancer, gastric cancer, melanoma, liver cancer, colorectal cancer, etc.; in normal tissues, such as liver, adrenal gland, prostate, testis, ovary, lung and skin, etc., it presents a low expression level (Bottino, C., et al. Cancers, 2023, 15(13): 3279; Sutton, M.N., et al. Communications biology, 7(1): 21).
[0005] WO2011109400A2, WO2012147713A1, WO2018177393A1 and other patents disclose anti-B7-H3 antibodies, but no anti-B7-H3 antibody drug has been approved for marketing. SUMMARY

[0388] TERMINOLOGY
[0389] For the purposes of the present disclosure, certain technical and scientific terms are described below. Unless 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 to which this disclosure belongs.
[0390] As used in the specification and claims, the singular forms "a," "an" and "the" include plural references unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
[0391] Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, throughout the patent specification and claims, the words "comprise", "have" and "include" and the like are to be construed in an inclusive sense as opposed to an exclusive or exhaustive sense that receives limitation. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, throughout the patent specification and claims, the words "comprise", "have" and "include" and the like are to be construed in an inclusive sense as opposed to an exclusive or exhaustive sense that receives limitation.
[0392] The term "and / or", means both "and" and "or". For example, the phrase "A, B and / or C" is intended to cover the following aspects: 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).
[0393] The terms "B7-H3", "B7H3" and "CD276" are used interchangeably and include variants, isoforms, homologs, orthologs and paralogs of B7-H3. In humans, B7-H3 exists in both a 4Ig domain form (B7-H3-4Ig) and a 2Ig domain form (B7-H3-2Ig). Human B7-H3-4Ig has the amino acid sequence of Uniprot: Q5ZPR3-1. Human B7-H3-2Ig has the amino acid sequence of Uniprot: Q5ZPR3-2. Macaca fascicularis B7-H3-4Ig has the amino acid sequence of NCBI: XP_015308534.1. Mouse B7-H3-2Ig has the amino acid sequence of NCBI: NP_598744.1. Although specific database accession numbers are given, one of skill in the art understands that the B7-H3 referred to herein encompasses corresponding sequences reported in other databases or literature.
[0394] The three letter code and one letter code for amino acids used herein are as described in J. Biol. Chem, 243, p 3558 (1968).
[0395] 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 the naturally occurring amino acids. Naturally occurring amino acids are those encoded by the genetic code, such as the twenty amino acids normally found in proteins. Amino acid analogs refer to compounds that have the same basic chemical structure (i.e., an alpha carbon bonded to a hydrogen, a carboxyl, an amino, and an R group) as a naturally occurring amino acid, such as homoserine, norleucine, methionine sulfoxide, methionine methylsulfonium. Such analogs have modified R groups (e.g., norleucine) or modified peptide backbones, but otherwise function in a manner similar to 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 that functions in a manner similar to a naturally occurring amino acid.
[0396] The term "amino acid mutation" includes amino acid substitutions (also termed amino acid replacements), deletions, insertions, and modifications. Any combination of substitution, deletion and insertion and modification can be made to arrive at the final construct, as long as the final construct possesses the desired properties, such as reduced or no binding to an Fc receptor. Amino acid sequence deletions and insertions include deletions and insertions at the amino- and / or carboxy-terminus of a polypeptide chain. A particular amino acid mutation can be an amino acid substitution. In some embodiments, the amino acid mutation is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, i.e., the substitution of one amino acid for another with different structural and / or chemical properties. Amino acid substitutions include substitutions by non-naturally occurring amino acids or by derivatives of the 20 natural amino acids (e.g., 4-hydroxyproline, 3-methylhistidine, ornithine, homoserine, 5- hydroxylysine). Genetic or chemical methods known in the art can be used to generate amino acid mutations. Genetic methods can include site-directed mutagenesis, PCR, gene synthesis, and the like. Methods other than genetic engineering to alter the side chain groups of amino acids, such as chemical modifications, are also expected to be useful. Various names can be used herein to refer to the same amino acid mutation. In this regard, the amino acid residue at a particular position can be denoted in the position + amino acid residue format, e.g., 234A, to indicate that the amino acid residue at position 234 is A. L234A indicates that the amino acid residue at position 234 is mutated from L to A. It is understood that when an amino acid sequence is defined in the claims in the position + residue format, the amino acid prior to mutation at that position does not limit the claims.
[0397] 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 are artificial chemical mimics of corresponding naturally occurring amino acids, as well as to naturally occurring amino acid polymers and non-naturally occurring amino acid polymers. Unless otherwise indicated, a particular polypeptide sequence implicitly includes conservatively modified variants thereof.
[0398] 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.
[0399] The term "antigen binding fragment" encompasses full-length antibodies, Fabs, modified Fabs, Fab', Fab'-SH, modified Fab', F(ab')2, Fv, dsFv, Fab-Fv, Fab-dsFv, Fd, single domain antibodies (sdAbs, e.g., VH or VL or VHH), single chain Fabs (scFabs), single chain antibodies (e.g., scFv, sc(Fv)2), diabodies, linear antibodies, bi- or tri- or tetra-valent antibodies, Bis-scFv, diabody, tribody, triabody, tetrabody, and epitope binding fragments of any of the above. Methods of generating and making these antigen binding fragments are well known in the art.
[0400] A "native antibody" refers to an immunoglobulin molecule naturally occurring. For example, a native IgG antibody is a heterotetrameric glycoprotein of about 150000 daltons, composed of two light chains and two heavy chains that are disulfide-bonded. From N- to C-terminus, each heavy chain has a variable region (VH), also called a variable heavy domain, a heavy chain variable region, followed by three constant domains (CH1, CH2, and CH3). Similarly, from N- to C-terminus, each light chain has a variable region (VL), also called a variable light domain, or light chain variable domain, followed by a constant light domain (CL).
[0401] The terms "full-length antibody," "intact antibody," and "whole antibody" are used herein interchangeably to refer to an antibody with a structure substantially similar to a native antibody structure or a heavy chain having an Fc region as defined herein. A native intact antibody light chain includes a light chain variable region, VL, at the amino terminus of the light chain, and a constant region, CL, including kappa and lambda chains; a heavy chain includes a variable region, VH, at the amino terminus of the heavy chain, and a constant region at the carboxy terminus, wherein CH3 is closest to the carboxy terminus of the polypeptide, the heavy chain can be of any isotype, including IgG (including IgGl, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4 subtypes), IgA (including IgAl and IgA2 subtypes), IgM, and IgE.
[0402] The term "Fc region" or "fragment, crystallizable region" is used to define a C-terminal region of an antibody heavy chain, including native and engineered Fc regions. In some embodiments, the Fc region comprises two subunits, which can be identical or different. Suitable Fc regions for use in the antibodies described herein include Fc regions of human IgGl, IgG2 (IgG2A, IgG2B), IgG3, and IgG4. In some embodiments, the boundaries of the Fc region can also vary, for example, the C-terminal lysine (residue 447 according to EU numbering system) of the Fc region can be absent, or the C-terminal glycine and lysine (residue 446 and 447 according to EU numbering system) of the Fc region can be absent. Unless otherwise specified, numbering of the Fc region is according to the EU numbering system, also referred to as the EU index.
[0403] The Fc region can be suitably obtained by partially digesting an IgG monoclonal antibody or the like with a proteolytic enzyme such as pepsin, followed by eluting the fraction adsorbed to a protein A or protein G column. As the proteolytic enzyme, an enzyme that can digest a full-length antibody in a limited manner to produce Fab, F(ab')2, by suitably setting the reaction conditions of the enzyme such as pH, is used without particular limitation, and for example, pepsin, papain, or the like can be exemplified.
[0404] The term "variable region" or "variable domain" of an antibody refers to the domain of an antibody heavy or light chain that is involved in binding the antibody to an antigen. In this document, the variable domains of a human antibody heavy chain (VH) and light chain (VL) each comprise four conserved framework regions (FRs) and three complementarity determining regions (CDRs). Within the variable domains, the term "complementarity determining region" or "CDR" refers to a region that is primarily responsible for binding to an antigen; the "framework" or "FR" refers to the variable domain residues other than the CDR residues. The VH contains three CDR regions: HCDR1, HCDR2, and HCDR3; the VL contains three CDR regions: LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3. Each of the VH and VL is composed of three CDRs and four FRs, arranged from amino-terminus (also referred to as N-terminus) to carboxy-terminus (also referred to as C-terminus) in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4.
[0405] The boundaries of the CDRs can be determined by various known schemes, such as the "Kabat" numbering convention, the "Chothia" numbering convention, the "ABM" numbering convention, the "contact" numbering convention, and the ImMunoGenTics (IMGT) numbering convention, etc.; the correspondence between the various numbering systems is well known to those skilled in the art, and exemplary is shown in Table A below.
[0406] Table A. Relationship between CDR numbering systems
[0407] Unless otherwise specified, the variable regions and CDRs in the embodiments of the present disclosure are in accordance with the "Kabat" numbering convention.
[0408] The term "antibody fragment" refers to a molecule other than an intact antibody that comprises a portion of an intact antibody that binds to an antigen bound by the intact antibody. Examples of antibody fragments include but are not limited to Fv, dsFv, Fab, Fab', Fab'-SH, Fd, F(ab')2, single-domain antibody (sdAb, e.g., VH, VL, or VHH), single-chain Fab (scFab, sc(Fv)2), diabody, linear antibody, single-chain antibody (e.g., scFv); and multispecific antibody formed from antibody fragments.
[0409] 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 remaining portion of the heavy and / or light chain is derived from a different, different source or species.
[0410] 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 remainder of the antibody with its human counterpart (i.e., the constant region as well as the framework region portion of the variable region).
[0411] The terms "human antibody", "human-derived antibody", "fully human antibody", "fully human antibody" are used interchangeably and mean an antibody in which the variable and constant regions are of human sequence. The term encompasses antibodies derived from human genes but which have been altered, e.g., to reduce possible immunogenicity, to increase affinity, to eliminate cysteines or glycosylation sites that can cause undesirable folding, etc. The term encompasses these antibodies that are recombinantly produced in non-human cells, which can impart non-human cell-like glycosylation. The term also encompasses antibodies that have been produced in transgenic mice containing some or all human immunoglobulin heavy and light chain loci. The definition of a human antibody expressly excludes humanized antibodies.
[0412] The term "affinity" refers to the overall strength of the noncovalent interactions between individual binding sites of a molecule (e.g., an antibody) and its binding partner (e.g., an antigen). Unless otherwise indicated, as used herein, binding "affinity" refers to intrinsic binding affinity, which reflects the 1 : 1 interaction between members of a binding pair (e.g., antibody and antigen). The affinity of a molecule X for its ligand Y can be generally represented by the dissociation constant (KD). Affinity can be measured by routine methods known in the art, including those described herein.
[0413] The term "kassoc" or "ka", as used herein, refers to the association rate of a particular antibody-antigen interaction. The term "kdis" or "kd", as used herein, refers to the dissociation rate of a particular 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 a molar concentration (M). KDvalues for antibodies can be determined using methods well known in the art. For example, affinity in solution can be measured using a biosensor system, such as a Biacore system (e.g., BIAcore), or by a solution equilibrium titration method (SET).
[0414] The term "surface plasmon resonance" refers to an optical phenomenon that detects alterations in protein concentrations within a biosensor matrix in real-time, for example, using a BIAcore system (Biacore LifeSciences division of GE Healthcare, Piscataway, NJ).
[0415] The term "effector function" refers to those biological activities attributable to an antibody Fc region (a native sequence Fc region or an Fc region mutated at amino acid sequences) and which vary with the antibody isotype. Examples of antibody effector functions include but are not limited to: Clq binding and complement dependent cytotoxicity, Fc receptor binding, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), phagocytosis, down regulation of cell surface receptors (e.g., B cell receptor), and B cell activation.
[0416] The term "monoclonal antibody" refers to a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies, i.e., the antibody molecules comprising the population are identical in am ino acid sequence except for possible naturally occurring mutations that can be present in minor amounts. In contrast, polyclonal antibodies typically include a population of different antibodies which can differ in their variable domain amino acid sequences, which are typically specific for different epitopes.
[0417] The term "bispecific antibody" refers to an antibody (including an antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof, such as a single chain antibody) that is capable of specifically binding to two different antigens or at least two different epitopes of the same antigen. Various structures of bispecific antibodies have been disclosed in the prior art, which can be divided into IgG-like bispecific antibodies and antibody fragment type bispecific antibodies according to the integrity of IgG molecules, which can be divided into divalent, trivalent, tetravalent or more valent bispecific antibodies according to the number of antigen binding regions, and which can be divided into symmetric structure bispecific antibodies and asymmetric structure bispecific antibodies according to whether the structure is symmetric. Among them, the bispecific antibody based on antibody fragments, such as Fab fragments lacking Fc fragments, which forms a bispecific antibody by combining 2 or more Fab fragments in one molecule, has lower immunogenicity, and has smaller molecular weight, higher tumor tissue penetration; IgG-like bispecific antibodies (such as those with Fc fragments), such antibodies have relatively large molecular weight, and the Fc fragment helps to purify the antibody and improves its solubility, stability, and the Fc part can also bind to the receptor FcRn to increase the serum half-life of the antibody.
[0418] The term "antigen" refers to a molecule or a portion of a molecule capable of being selectively bound by, for example, an antigen binding protein (including, e.g., an antibody). An antigen can have one or more epitopes capable of interacting with different antigen binding proteins (e.g., antibodies).
[0419] The term "epitope" refers to a region (area or region) on an antigen to which an antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof specifically binds. An epitope can be formed by contiguous amino acids (linear epitopes) or comprise non-contiguous amino acids (conformational epitopes) that come into spatial proximity due to folding of the antigen. The difference between conformational and linear epitopes is that binding of an antibody to a conformational epitope is lost in the presence of a denaturing solvent. 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 particular 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 mapping, peptide cleavage analysis, epitope excision, epitope extraction, chemical modification of the antigen (see Prot. Sci. 9 (2000) 487-496), and cross-blocking.
[0420] The terms "capable of specifically binding," "specifically binding," or "bind" mean that an antibody is capable of binding to a certain antigen or epitope with higher affinity than to other antigens or epitopes. Typically, an antibody binds to an antigen or epitope with an equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) of about 1 x 10 -6 M or less (e.g., about 1 x 10 -7 M, 1 x 10 -8 M, 1 x 10 -9 M, 1 x 10 -10 M, 1 x 10 -11 M or less). In some embodiments, the KD of an antibody binding to an antigen is 10% or less (e.g., 1%) of the KD of the antibody binding to a non-specific antigen (e.g., BSA, casein). KD can be measured using known methods, e.g., by surface plasmon resonance assays. However, an antibody that specifically binds to an antigen or epitope does not exclude cross-reactivity to other related antigens, e.g., cross-reactivity to the corresponding antigen from other species (homologs), such as human or monkey, e.g., Macaca fascicularis (cynomolgus, cyno), Pan troglodytes (chimpanzee, chimp), or Callithrix jacchus (common marmoset, marmoset).
[0421] The terms "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 having lytic activity, such as natural killer cells (NK), monocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils, via Fcy receptors (FcyRs) expressed on the effector cells. For example, NK cells express FcyRIIIa, while monocytes express FcyRI, FcyRII, and FcyRIIIa. The ADCC activity of the antibodies provided herein can be assessed using an in vitro assay using cells expressing an antigen as target cells and NK cells as effector cells. Cell lysis is detected based on the release of a label (e.g., a radioactive substrate, a fluorescent dye, or a native intracellular protein) from the lysed cells.
[0422] The term "antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP)" refers to a mechanism of eliminating antibody-coated target cells by internalization by phagocytic cells, such as macrophages or dendritic cells.
[0423] The term "complement-dependent cytotoxicity" or "CDC" refers to a mechanism of inducing cell death in which the Fc effector domain of a target-bound antibody binds and activates complement component Clq, 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.
[0424] The term "nucleic acid" is used interchangeably herein with the term "polynucleotide" and refers to deoxyribonucleotides or ribonucleotides and polymers thereof in either single- or double-stranded form. The term encompasses nucleic acids containing known nucleotide analogs or modified backbone residues or linkages, which are synthetic, naturally occurring, and non-naturally occurring, which have similar binding properties to the reference nucleotide, and which are metabolized in a manner similar to the reference nucleotides. Examples of such analogs include, without limitation, phosphorothioates, phosphoramidates, methyl phosphonates, chiral-methyl phosphonates, 2-O-methyl ribonucleotides, peptide-nucleic acids (PNAs).
[0425] An "isolated nucleic acid" is a nucleic acid molecule that has been separated from a component of its natural environment. An isolated nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide is one or more nucleic acid molecules encoding a polypeptide, including such one or more nucleic acid molecule(s) in a single vector or separate vectors, and one or more nucleic acid molecule(s) present in a single cell or separate cells. A specified nucleic acid sequence also implicitly encompasses conservatively modified variants thereof (e.g., degenerate codon substitutions) and
[0426] 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 are artificial chemical mimics of corresponding naturally occurring amino acids, as well as to naturally occurring and non-naturally occurring amino acid polymers. Unless otherwise specified, a specified polypeptide sequence also implicitly encompasses conservatively modified variants thereof.
[0427] The term "sequence 'identity'" means the extent to which the amino acid / nucleic acid of two sequences are the same (percent) at equivalent positions when the two sequences are optimally aligned; gaps are introduced as necessary to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity, and any conservative substitutions are not considered as part of the sequence identity. To determine the percent sequence identity, the comparison 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 appropriate parameters to achieve maximal alignment, including any algorithms necessary to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity over the full length of the sequences being compared.
[0428] The term "vector" means a polynucleotide molecule capable of transporting another polynucleotide to which it has been linked. One type of vector is a "plasmid", which refers to a circular double stranded DNA loop into which additional DNA segments can be ligated. Another type of vector is a viral vector, such as an adeno-associated viral vector (AAV or AAV2), wherein additional DNA segments can be ligated into the viral genome. Certain vectors are capable of autonomous replication in a host cell into which they are introduced (e.g., bacterial vectors having a bacterial origin of replication and episomal mammalian vectors). Other vectors (e.g., non-episomal mammalian vectors) can be integrated into the genome of a host cell upon introduction into the host cell, and thereby are replicated along with the host genome. The term "expression vector" or "expression construct" refers to a vector which can be transformed into a host cell, and which contains nucleic acid sequences that direct and / or control the expression of one or more heterologous coding regions operably linked thereto, along with the host cell. An expression construct can include, but is not limited to, sequences that affect or control transcription, translation, and, where introns are present, RNA splicing of a coding region operably linked thereto.
[0429] The terms "host cell," "host cell line," and "host cell culture" are used interchangeably and refer to cells into which exogenous nucleic acid has been introduced, including the progeny of such cells. Host cells include "transformants" and "transformed cells," which include the primary transformed cell and progeny derived therefrom without regard to the number of passages. The progeny can not be completely identical to the parent cell from which it was derived, but may, for example, contain mutations. Mutant progeny that have the same function or biological activity as the parent cell are included herein. Host cells include prokaryotic and eukaryotic host cells, including but not limited to mammalian cells, insect cell lines, plant cells, and fungal cells. Mammalian host cells include human, mouse, rat, canine, monkey, porcine, goat, bovine, equine, 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 opuntiae, Pichia thermotolerans, Pichia salictaria, Pichia guercuum, Pichia pijperi, Pichia stiptis, Pichia methanolica, Pichia sp., Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Saccharomyces sp., Hansenula polymorpha, Kluyveromyces sp., Kluyveromyces lactis, Candida albicans, Aspergillus sp., Aspergillus nidulans, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus oryzae, Trichoderma reesei, Chrysosporium lucknowense, Fusarium sp., Fusarium gramineum, Fusarium venenatum, Physcomitrella patens, and Neurospora crassa, and Yarrowia lipolytica.
[0430] "Cell," "cell line," "cell culture," and "cells" can be used interchangeably and all such designations include both progeny and derivatives. Thus, the words "transformant" and "transformed cell" include the primary subject cell and cultures derived from it, regardless of the number of transfers. It is further understood that, as a result of either deliberate or inadvertent mutation, not all progeny will be identical to the original transformant. Mutant progeny that have the same function or biological activity as the original transformed cell are included.
[0431] An “antibody drug conjugate” (ADC) is a conjugate that results from linking an antibody (or antigen binding fragment thereof) directly or via a linker to a drug.
[0432] A “drug” (abbreviated: D) is any substance (e.g., therapeutic agent, detectable label, binding agent, etc.) that has a biological or detectable activity and prodrugs that are metabolized in vivo to active agents. Examples of therapeutic agents include cytotoxic agents, chemotherapeutic agents, cell growth inhibitory agents, and immunomodulatory agents. A chemotherapeutic agent is a chemical compound useful in the treatment of cancer. Representative therapeutic agents include cytotoxins, cytotoxic agents, and cell growth inhibitory agents.
[0433] A cytotoxic effect refers to the loss, ablation, and / or killing of target cells. A cytotoxic agent refers to an agent that has a cytotoxic and / or cell growth inhibitory effect on cells. A cell growth inhibitory effect refers to the inhibition of cell proliferation. A cell growth inhibitory agent refers to an agent that has a cell growth inhibitory effect on certain subpopulations of cells, thereby in hibiting the growth and / or expansion of these subpopulations.
[0434] Additional representative therapeutic agents include radioisotopes, chemotherapeutic agents, immunomodulatory agents, anti-angiogenic agents, anti-proliferative agents, pro-apoptotic agents, and cell lytic enzymes (e.g., RNAse). These drug descriptors are not mutually exclusive, and thus, a therapeutic agent can be described using one or more of the above terms. For example, a selected radioisotope is also a cytotoxin. Therapeutic agents can be prepared as pharmaceutically acceptable salts, acids, or derivatives of any of the above. In general, conjugates with radioisotopes as drugs are referred to as radioimmunoconjugates, and with chemotherapeutic agents as drugs are referred to as chemotherapeutic immunoconjugates.
[0435] Examples of cytotoxic agents include, but are not limited to, anthracyclines, auristatins, CC-1065, dolastatins, duocarmycins, enediyines, geldanamycin, maytansines, puromycins, taxoids, vinca alkaloids, SN-38, tubulysins, hemiasterlins, eribulin, Trabectedin, Lurbinectedin, and stereoisomers, isosteres, analogs, or derivatives thereof. Chemotherapeutic agents, plant toxins, other biologically active proteins, enzymes (i.e., ADEPT), radioisotopes, photosensitizers (i.e., for photodynamic therapy) can also be used.
[0436] The term "linker unit," "linker" refers to a chemical moiety or bond that links one end to an antibody and the other end to a drug, and can also be linked to other linkers before being linked to an antibody or drug. Linker attachment to an antibody can be accomplished in a variety of ways, such as via surface lysines, reductive coupling to oxidized carbohydrates, cysteine residues liberated by reduction of interchain disulfides, reactive cysteine residues engineered at specific sites, and tags containing acyl donor glutamines or by engineering of a polypeptide to have reactive endogenous glutamines in the presence of transglutaminase and amines. Various ADC linkage systems are known in the art, including hydrazone-, disulfide- and peptide-based linkages.
[0437] The linker can comprise one or more linker elements. Exemplary linker elements include 6-maleimidocaproyl ("MC"), maleimidopropionyl ("MP"), valine-citrulline ("Val-Cit" or "VC"), alanine-phenylalanine ("Ala-Phe"), p-aminobenzyloxycarbonyl ("PAB"), N-succinimidyl 4-(2-pyridylthio) pentanoate ("SPP"), N-succinimidyl 4-(N-maleimidomethyl) cyclohexane-l-carboxylate ("SMCC", also referred to herein as "MCC"), and N-succinimidyl (4-iodo-acetyl) aminobenzoate ("SIAB").
[0438] The linker can be selected from the following elements or combinations thereof: extenders, spacers, and amino acid units. The linker can be synthesized by methods known in the art. The linker can be a "cleavable linker" that facilitates release of the drug in the cell. For example, an acid-labile linker (e.g., a hydrazone), a protease-sensitive (e.g., a peptidase-sensitive) linker, a photo-labile linker, a dimethyl linker, or a disulfide-containing linker can be used.
[0439] "L-D" is a linker-drug moiety resulting from the attachment of a drug (D) to a linker (L).
[0440] "Drug loading," also referred to as Drug-to-Antibody Ratio (DAR), is the average number of drugs conjugated to each antibody in an ADC. It can range, for example, from about 1 to about 20 drugs per antibody, and in certain embodiments, from about 1 to about 10 drugs per antibody, preferably from the range of 2-8, 2-7, 2-6, 2-5, 2-4, 1-3, 3-4, 3-5, 5-6, 5-7, 5-8, and 6-8. The general formula of the ADCs of the present disclosure includes a collection of antibody-drug conjugates within the aforementioned ranges. In embodiments of the present disclosure, drug loading can be denoted as n, which is a decimal or an integer. Drug loading can be determined by conventional methods such as UV / visible spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, ELISA assays, HIC, and RP-HPLC.
[0441] The term "alkyl" refers to saturated straight-chain or branched-chain aliphatic hydrocarbon groups having from 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 preferably has from 1 to 12 carbon atoms (i.e., C 1-12 The alkyl group preferably has from 1 to 12 carbon atoms (i.e., C 1-6 Non-limiting examples include: methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, i-butyl, t-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 isomers thereof, and the like.

[0594] Antibody structure
[0595] In some embodiments, the antibodies provided herein are full-length antibodies.
[0596] In some embodiments, the antibodies provided herein are antibody fragments.
[0597] In some embodiments, the antibody fragment is a Fab, Fab', Fab'-SH or F(ab')2 fragment, particularly a Fab fragment. "Fab" is a monovalent fragment consisting of the VL, VH, CL and CH1 domains. "Fab fragments" can be produced by papain digestion of an antibody. "Fab'" contains the VL, CL, and VH and CH1, and also contains the region between the CH1 and CH2 domains, so that a disulfide bond can be formed between the two heavy chains in the two Fab' fragments, to form an F(ab')2 molecule. "Fab'-SH" is a Fab' fragment in which the cysteine residue of the constant region has a free thiol group. "F(ab')2" comprises a bivalent fragment comprising two Fab fragments that are linked by disulfide bonds in the hinge region.
[0598] In some embodiments, the antibody fragment is a diabody, triabody or tetrabody. Diabodies are antibody fragments with two antigen binding sites, comprising the VHand VLjoined by a short linker that does not allow pairing between the two domains on the same chain. This forces the domains to pair with the complementary domains of another chain and makes two antigen binding sites, which can be the same or different.
[0599] In some embodiments, the antibody fragment is a single chain Fab fragment. A "single chain Fab fragment" or "scFab" is a polypeptide consisting of a VH, CH1, VL, CL and a linker, wherein the antibody domains and the linker have one of the following orders in N-terminal to C-terminal direction: a) VH-CH1-linker-VL-CL, b) VL-CL-linker-VH-CH1, c) VH-CL-linker-VL-CH1 or d) VL-CH1-linker-VH-CL. In some embodiments, the linker is a polypeptide of at least 30 amino acids. In some embodiments, the linker is a polypeptide of between 32 and 50 amino acids. The single chain Fab fragments are stabilized via the native disulfide bond between CL and CH1. Additionally, these single chain Fab molecules can be further stabilized by the creation of an interchain disulfide bond by the insertion of a cysteine residue, for example at position 44 in the heavy chain variable region and at position 100 in the light chain variable region, according to Kabat numbering.
[0600] In some embodiments, the antibody fragment is a Fv fragment consisting of the VH and VL domains of a single arm of an antibody.
[0601] In some embodiments, the antibody fragment is a single chain variable fragment (scFv). An "scFv" is a fusion protein comprising at least one antibody fragment comprising a light chain variable region and at least one antibody fragment comprising a heavy chain variable region, wherein the light chain variable region and the heavy chain variable region are connected in tandem by a short, flexible peptide linker, is capable of being expressed as a single chain polypeptide, and wherein the scFv retains the specificity of the intact antibody from which it is derived. Unless specifically indicated otherwise, scFv herein can have the VL and VH variable regions in either order, e.g., an scFv can comprise VL-linker-VH or can comprise VH-linker-VL, with respect to the N- and C-termini of the polypeptide.
[0602] In some embodiments, the antibody fragment is a dsFv, which is obtained by linking polypeptides in which one amino acid residue in each of the VH and VL is substituted with a cysteine residue, via a disulfide bond between the cysteine residues. The amino acid residue substituted with the cysteine residue can be selected based on the three-dimensional structure prediction of the antibody according to known methods.
[0603] In some embodiments, the antibody fragment is a single domain antibody (dAb). A single domain antibody is an antibody fragment comprising all or a portion of the variable domain of the heavy chain or all or a portion of the variable domain of the light chain of an antibody.
[0604] In some embodiments, an antibody provided herein is a chimeric antibody. In some embodiments, a chimeric antibody comprises a non-human variable region (e.g., a variable region derived from a mouse, rat, hamster, rabbit, or non-human primate, such as a monkey) and a human constant region. In some embodiments, a chimeric antibody is a "class switched" antibody in which the class or subclass has been changed from that of the parent antibody.
[0605] In some embodiments, an antibody is a humanized antibody. Typically, a non-human antibody is humanized by reducing its immunogenicity to humans while retaining its specificity and affinity for the original antigen. Generally, a humanized antibody comprises one or more variable regions in which CDRs or portions thereof are derived from a non-human antibody, while FRs or portions thereof are derived from human antibodies. Optionally, a humanized antibody will also comprise a portion of a human constant region. In some embodiments, some FR residues in a humanized antibody can be substituted with corresponding residues from the non-human antibody (e.g., the antibody providing the CDR sequences).
[0606] Variants of Anti-B7-H3 Antibodies
[0607] In certain embodiments, amino acid sequence variants of the anti-B7-H3 antibodies provided herein are encompassed. For example, it can be desirable to improve the binding affinity and / or other biological properties of the antibody. Amino acid sequence variants of the antibody can be prepared by introducing appropriate modifications into the nucleotide sequence encoding the antibody, or by peptide synthesis. Such modifications include, for example, deletions from, and / or insertions into, and / or substitutions of, residues within the amino acid sequences of the anti-B7-H3 antibodies. Any combination of deletion, insertion, and substitution can be made to arrive at the final construct, provided that the final construct possesses the desired characteristics, e.g., antigen binding properties.
[0608] Substitution, insertion, and deletion variants
[0609] In certain embodiments, antibody variants with one or more amino acid substitutions are provided. Sites of interest for substitutional mutagenesis include the CDRs and FRs. Conservative substitutions are shown in Table B under the heading of "preferred substitutions." More substantial changes are provided in Table B under the heading of "exemplary substitutions," and as further described below in reference to amino acid side chain classes. Amino acid substitutions can be introduced into an antibody of interest and the products screened for a desired activity, e.g., retained / improved antigen binding, decreased immunogenicity, or improved ADCC or CDC.
[0610] Table B. Substitution of amino acids
[0611] According to common practice, amino acids can be grouped as follows:
[0612] (1) hydrophobic: Norleucine, Met, Ala, Val, Leu, He;
[0613] (2) neutral, hydrophilic: Cys, Ser, Thr, Asn, Gin;
[0614] (3) acidic: Asp, Glu;
[0615] (4) basic: His, Lys, Arg;
[0616] (5) residues that influence chain orientation: Gly, Pro;
[0617] (6) aromatic: Trp, Tyr, Phe.
[0618] Non-conservative substitutions will require an exchange of a member of one of these classes for a member from another class.
[0619] One type of substitutional variant involves substituting one or more amino acids in a CDR of a parent antibody (e.g., a humanized or human antibody). Generally, the resulting variant(s) selected for further study will have some alterations (e.g., improvements) in certain biological properties (e.g., increased affinity, reduced immunogenicity) relative to the parent antibody and / or will have substantially retained certain biological properties of the parent antibody. An exemplary substitutional variant is an affinity matured antibody, which can be conveniently generated, e.g., using phage display-based affinity maturation techniques such as those described herein. Briefly, one or more CDR residues are mutated, and the variant antibodies displayed on phage and screened for a particular biological activity (e.g., binding affinity). Changes (e.g., substitutions) can be made to a CDR, e.g., to improve antibody affinity. Such changes can be made, e.g., to CDR "hotspot" residues, i.e., residues encoded by codons that undergo mutation at high frequency during the somatic maturation process, and / or residues that contact antigen, while the resulting variant VHand / or VLis tested for binding affinity. In some embodiments of affinity maturation, diversity is introduced into the variable genes selected for maturation by any of a variety of methods (e.g., error-prone PCR, chain shuffling, or oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis). Secondary libraries are then created. The libraries are then screened to identify any antibody variants having the desired affinity. Another method of introducing diversity involves CDR-directed approaches, in which several CDR residues (e.g., 4-6 residues at a time) are randomized. CDR residues involved in antigen binding can be specifically identified, e.g., using alanine scanning mutagenesis or modeling. In particular, HCDR3 and LCDR3 are often targeted.
[0620] In some embodiments, substitutions, insertions, or deletions can occur within one or more CDRs so long as such changes do not substantially reduce the ability of the antibody to bind antigen. For example, conservative alterations (e.g., conservative substitutions as provided herein) that do not substantially reduce binding affinity can be made to a CDR. Such alterations can be outside of antigen contacting residues in a CDR. In certain embodiments of the variant VHand VLsequences provided above, each CDR is unaltered, or contains no more than 1, 2, or 3 amino acid substitutions.
[0621] One method for identifying residues or regions in an antibody that can serve as targets for mutagenesis is called "alanine scanning mutagenesis" In this approach, one or more residues or sets of residues (e.g., charged residues such as Arg, Asp, His, Lys, and Glu) are identified and replaced with neutral or negatively charged amino acids (e.g., Ala or polyalanine) to determine whether the interaction of the antibody with antigen is affected. Further substitutions can be introduced at the amino acid positions that display functional sensitivity to the initial substitutions. Additionally, contact points between the antibody and antigen can be identified by studying crystals structures of antigen-antibody complexes. These contact residues and neighboring residues can be targeted or eliminated as candidates for substitution. Variants can be screened to determine whether they contain the desired properties.
[0622] Amino acid sequence insertions include amino- and / or carboxyl-terminal fusions ranging in length from one residue to polypeptides containing a hundred or more residues, as well as intrasequence insertions of single or multiple amino acid residues. Examples of terminal insertions include an antibody with an N-terminal methionyl residue. Other insertional variants of the antibody molecule include the fusion to the N- or C-terminus of the antibody to an enzyme or a polypeptide which increases the serum half-life of the antibody.
[0623] Recombinant methods
[0624] Anti-B7-H3 antibodies can be produced using recombinant methods. For these methods, one or more isolated nucleic acids encoding an anti-B7-H3 antibody are provided.

Such a nucleic acid can be provided as a separate nucleic acid encoding any of the polypeptide chains described previously. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides one or more vectors (e.g., expression vectors) comprising such a nucleic acid. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a host cell comprising such a nucleic acid.

[0626] For recombinant production of an anti-B7-H3 antibody, nucleic acids encoding the protein are isolated and inserted into one or more vectors for further cloning and / or expression in a host cell. Such nucleic acids can be readily isolated and sequenced using conventional procedures, or produced by recombinant methods or obtained through chemical synthesis.

For example, production in bacteria is possible, particularly when glycosylation and Fc effector function are not needed. After expression, the antibody can be isolated from the bacterial cell paste in a soluble fraction, and can be further purified.
[0628] In addition to prokaryotes, eukaryotic microorganisms, such as filamentous fungi or yeasts, are also suitable cloning or expression hosts for vectors encoding fusion proteins, including fungal and yeast strains. Suitable host cells for expression of fusion proteins can also be derived from multicellular organisms (invertebrates and vertebrates); examples of invertebrate cells include plant and insect cells. Numerous baculoviral strains have been identified which can be used in combination with insect cells, particularly for transfection of Spodoptera frugiperda cells; plant cell cultures can also be utilized as hosts, for example, US5959177, US6040498, US6420548, US7125978, and US6417429; vertebrate cells can also be used as hosts, for example, mammalian cell lines adapted to grow in suspension cell culture.

SJL / J white mice were used in the experiment, female, 6-8 weeks old (Shanghai Sulei Experimental Animal Co., Ltd., Animal Production License No.: SCXK (Shanghai) 2022-0004). Rearing environment: SPF level. After the mice were purchased, they were raised in the laboratory environment for 1 week, with 12 / 12 hour light / dark cycle adjustment, temperature 20-25°C; humidity 40-60%. The mice that had adapted to the environment were immunized according to the following scheme.
[0669] Immunization scheme 1: This immunization scheme used the protein antigen human B7-H3-4Ig (ECD)-hFc to immunize SJL / J mice. The antigen was alternately immunized with Gold Adjuvant (Sigma Cat No. T2684) and Thermo Alum (Thermo Cat No. 77161) adjuvant. The ratio of antigen to Thermo Gold Adjuvant was 1:1, and after complete emulsification, the mice were immunized; the ratio of antigen to Thermo The ratio of Alum is 3:1, and the mice are immunized after oscillation and mixing. The amount of protein antigen used for the first immunization of mice is 50 μg per mouse, and the amount of protein antigen used for subsequent regular immunization is 25 μg per mouse per time. The amount of protein antigen used for the pre-fusion booster immunization is 50 μg per mouse per time. The immunization frequency of mice is once every two weeks, and the antibody titer in the serum of mice is determined by blood sampling 7-10 days after each immunization from the second immunization. After the fourth immunization, the antibody titer in the serum of mice is determined by ELISA method, and the mice with high antibody titer and titer tending to platform in the serum are selected for spleen cell fusion. The antigen solution prepared by physiological saline and protein antigen (human B7-H3-4Ig (ECD)-hFc) is injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) for booster immunization three days before the spleen cell fusion.
[0670] Immunization scheme 2: SJL / J mice are immunized with protein antigens human B7-H3-4Ig (ECD)-hFc and monkey B7-H3-4Ig (ECD)-hFc alternately. The antigens are used alternately Gold Adjuvant (Sigma Cat No. T2684) and Thermo Alum (Thermo Cat No. 77161) adjuvant for immunization. The antigen is mixed with the adjuvant The ratio of Gold Adjuvant is 1:1, and the mice are immunized after complete emulsification; the antigen is mixed with the adjuvant Thermo The ratio of Alum is 3:1, and the mice are immunized after oscillation and mixing. The amount of protein antigen used for the first immunization of mice is 50 μg per mouse, and the amount of protein antigen used for subsequent regular immunization is 25 μg per mouse per time. The amount of protein antigen used for the pre-fusion booster immunization is 50 μg per mouse per time. The immunization frequency of mice is once every two weeks, and the antibody titer in the serum of mice is determined by blood sampling 7-10 days after each immunization from the second immunization. After the sixth immunization, the antibody titer in the serum of mice is determined by ELISA method, and the mice with high antibody titer and titer tending to platform in the serum are selected for spleen cell fusion. The antigen solution prepared by physiological saline and protein antigen (human B7-H3-4Ig (ECD)-hFc) is injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) for booster immunization three days before the spleen cell fusion.
[0671] 2.2 Spleen cell fusion
[0672] The spleen lymphocytes are fused with myeloma cells Sp2 / 0-Ag14 (ATCC CRL-8287 TM ) to obtain hybridoma cells by using the optimized electrofusion method.
[0673] The fused hybridoma cells are counted according to the spleen cell counting results, and the cells with a concentration of 3×105 / mL-7 x 10 5 / mL density resuspended in complete medium (IMDM medium with 20% FBS, 1 x HAT, 1 x OPI) and seeded in 96-well plates at 150 μL / well. After 4-5 days incubation at 37 °C, 5% CO2, the supernatant was removed and replaced with complete medium (IMDM medium with 20% FBS, 1 x HT and 1 x OPI) containing HT at 200 μL / well. The cells were incubated at 37 °C, 5% CO2 for 3-4 days before testing.
[0674] 2.3 Hybridoma cell screening and antibody sequence determination
[0675] Hybridoma supernatant was tested for binding to NCI-H358 human lung cancer cells (ATCC: CRL-580) and monkey B7-H3-4Ig(ECD)-His according to the growth density of the hybridoma cells.
[0676] NCI-H358 human lung cancer cell binding was screened by DELFIA method. Cells were plated at 1 x 10 5 / well and 40 μL of hybridoma supernatant was added and mixed by pipetting. The plate was incubated at 4 °C for 1 hour in the dark. The plate was washed twice with 1% BSA and 40 μL of secondary antibody Eu-N1-Anti-mouse IgG (PerkinElmer, 3101735) was added and mixed by pipetting. The plate was incubated at 4 °C for 30 minutes in the dark. The plate was washed twice with 1% BSA and 100 μL of DELFIA Enhancer (Revvity, 749717) was added and mixed by pipetting. The plate was incubated at 4 °C for 30 minutes in the dark. HTRF readings were taken and clones with readings comparable to or higher than the control antibody were selected.
[0677] Monkey cross was also retained when screening the clones. 100 μL / well of 1 μg / mL monkey B7-H3-4Ig(ECD)-His antigen was coated at 4 °C overnight. After washing three times with PBST, the plate was blocked with 5% milk at 37 °C for 3 hours. After washing three times with PBST, 40 μL of hybridoma supernatant was added and incubated at 37 °C for 1 hour. After washing three times, 100 μL / well of HRP Conjugated Goat Anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (Jackson) was added and incubated at 37 °C for 1 hour. After washing three times with PBST, the plate was dried and 100 μL / well of TMB was added. Color development was stopped after 5 minutes by adding an equal volume of 2M H2SO4. The OD450 absorbance value was read on a microplate reader and clones with readings five times higher than the negative control were selected.
[0678] The final selected clone can have good binding to NCI-H358 human lung cancer cells and can retain cross-binding to monkeys. In addition, the hybridoma cells are timely frozen, expanded, preserved, subcloned and single cell cloned. Through the above experimental screening, 3 hybridoma clones with excellent performance are obtained: mAb67, mAb77 and mAb127.
[0679] The hybridoma clone is expanded and cultured, RNA is extracted, and mouse-IgG degenerate primers are used for reverse transcription amplification (RT-PCR), and finally the variable region sequence of the antibody is obtained.
