Anti-IL-4RA antibodies, bispecific antibodies, and pharmaceutical compositions
[0001] Cross-references to related applications
[0002] This application is based on and claims priority to CN application number 202510072986.1, filed on January 16, 2025, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0003] This invention belongs to the field of biomedicine and relates to an anti-IL-4RA antibody, a bispecific antibody, and a pharmaceutical composition. Specifically, the bispecific antibody is a bispecific antibody comprising the anti-IL-4RA antibody, and more specifically, it is an anti-IL-4RA-anti-ST2 bispecific antibody. Specifically, the pharmaceutical composition comprises the anti-IL-4RA antibody or the bispecific antibody. This invention also relates to the use of the anti-IL-4RA antibody or the bispecific antibody, particularly for pharmaceutical purposes. Background Technology
[0004] Interleukin-4 receptor (IL-4R) is a transmembrane receptor that exists in two different forms: one is type I IL-4R, which is composed of a high-affinity IL-4Rα subunit (i.e., IL-4RA in this invention) and a medium-affinity γC subunit. It binds to interleukin-4 (IL-4) and mediates IL-4-induced cell proliferation, activation and other biological functions; the other is type II IL-4R, which is composed of a high-affinity IL-4Rα subunit (IL-4RA) and an interleukin-13 receptor α subunit (IL-13Rα). Type II IL-4R is also a homologous functional receptor of interleukin-13 (IL-13) and can bind to IL-13 (Wang and Secombes, Cytokine. 2015. Vol. 75, No. 1, pp. 8-13 (2015)). IL-4R is expressed in T cells, B cells, hematopoietic stem cells, endothelial cells, epithelial cells, muscle, fibroblasts, hepatocytes, and brain tissue. After IL-4 binds to its receptor, IL-4RA works in conjunction with the γC subunit or the IL-13Rα subunit to activate a variety of non-receptor protein tyrosine kinases in the cytoplasm, further initiating downstream signal transduction pathways (Nelms et al., Annu Rev Immunol, Vol. 17, pp. 701-738 (1999); LaPorte et al., Cell, Vol. 132, No. 2, pp. 259-272 (2008)).
[0005] IL-4RA can bind with high affinity to IL-4 and IL-13 and is the main functional subunit of the aforementioned type I and type II IL4R. Inhibiting IL-4RA can effectively block the related biological functions mediated by IL-4 and IL-13 (Gessner et al., Immunobiology, Vol. 201, p. 285 (2000)).
[0006] IL-4 is a pleiotropic cytokine secreted by immune cells such as CD4+ T cell subsets, B cells, and mast cells; IL-13 is mainly produced by activated T cells (Th2 in mice) in the human body, and IL-13 has a variety of biological effects on monocytes (macrophages), B lymphocytes, NK cells, and vascular endothelial cells. In vitro studies have shown that IL-4 and IL-13 can exert corresponding effector functions in various cell types, such as T cells, B cells, eosinophils, mast cells, basophils, airway smooth muscle cells, respiratory epithelial cells, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells. These cells are the main effector cells leading to allergic diseases, such as allergic rhinitis, food allergies, and asthma (e.g., allergic asthma) (May et al., Cytokine, Vol. 75, No. 1, pp. 89-116 (2015)). In addition, airway smooth muscle cells, respiratory epithelial cells, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells are also involved in the pathogenesis, progression, and maintenance of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (see Steinke et al., RespRes, Vol. 2, No. 66, pp. 66-70 (2001) and Willis-Karp et al., Immunol). Rev, Vol. 202, pp. 175-190, (2004)); Abnormal T cell and B cell function is the main mechanism of the occurrence of autoimmune diseases, and IL-4 participates in the occurrence of autoimmune diseases by binding to IL-4R on the surface of immune cells and activating downstream signaling pathways (May et al., Cytokine, Vol. 75, No. 1, pp. 89-116 (2015)).
[0007] The IL-4 / IL-13 pathway plays an important role in the pathology of asthma (Chatila et al., Trendsin Molecular Med, Vol. 10, No. 10, pp. 493-499, (2004)) and in other conditions listed elsewhere in this article. Airway hyperresponsiveness, excessive mucus secretion, and airway remodeling are key pathological features of asthma. Studies have confirmed that IL-4 and IL-13 are involved in the occurrence and maintenance of the above pathological processes (May et al., Cytokine, Vol. 75, No. 1, pp. 89-116 (2015)). IL-13 is considered a key cytokine that triggers airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), and IL-4 is a major inducing factor for Th2 immune cell polarization and IgE production (Wynn et al., AnnuRev Immunol, Vol. 21, pp. 425-456, (2003)).
[0008] Atopic dermatitis, especially moderate to severe atopic dermatitis, is a serious chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by intense itching, pronounced eczematous changes, and dry skin. Atopic dermatitis often begins in infancy and can persist throughout life for some patients. It can severely impact quality of life due to chronic recurrent eczematous rashes, severe itching, sleep deprivation, dietary restrictions, and psychosocial effects. IL-4 / IL-13 is considered a key driver of persistent intrinsic inflammation in atopic dermatitis (Malajian et al., Cytokine, Vol. 73, No. 2, pp. 311-318 (2015)). Clinical studies have demonstrated that the anti-human IL-4RA monoclonal antibody dupilumab is effective in treating moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (Beck et al., N. Engl. J. Med., Vol. 371, No. 2, pp. 130-139 (2014)), and it has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis.
[0009] Furthermore, basic medical research and clinical studies have confirmed that the IL-4, IL-13 and IL-4R pathways are involved in the occurrence and development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, sinusitis, and tumors. Inhibiting IL-4RA has the potential to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (Jin Lin et al., Practical Medicine Journal, Vol. 30, No. 22, pp. 3543-3544 (2014)), sinusitis, pulmonary fibrosis, and tumors (May et al., Cytokine, Vol. 75, No. 1, pp. 89-116 (2015); Guo Changkuo et al., Chemistry of Life, Vol. 37, No. 3, pp. 413-418 (2017)). In adults with symptomatic chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps who were unresponsive to intranasal corticosteroid therapy, the anti-human IL-4RA monoclonal antibody Dupilumab, in combination with corticosteroids, significantly relieved symptoms and reduced nasal polyps (Bachert et al., JAMA, Vol. 315, No. 5, pp. 469-79 (2016)).
[0010] Anti-human IL-4RA antibody drugs have broad application prospects and can be used to treat allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis, asthma, allergies, and atopic dermatitis. They can also be used for sinusitis, nasal polyps, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, tissue fibrosis, tumors, and autoimmune diseases. Currently available anti-human IL-4RA antibody drugs have low affinity, and a high-affinity anti-human IL-4RA antibody is lacking. Therefore, developing antibody drugs with high affinity for human IL-4RA for the treatment of allergic diseases, resulting in better therapeutic effects and lower toxicity, is of great significance.
[0011] ST2 (growth-stimulating gene 2 protein, also known as IL1RL1, DER4, FIT-1, IL-33R, ST2L, ST2V, or T1) is a member of the interleukin-1 receptor family. It possesses a Toll / IL-1R domain, which contains approximately 160 amino acids and consists of five central β-sheets and five α-helices located on the cytoplasmic side of the protein (Tominaga SA putative protein of a growth-specific cDNA from BALB / c-3T3 cells is highly similar to the extracellular portion of mouse interleukin 1 receptor [J]. FEBS letters, 1989, 258(2): 301-304). ST2 is an important biomarker for heart failure and has also been found as a ligand for IL-33. The IL-33 / ST2 pathway is associated with various immune-mediated diseases, such as asthma and rheumatoid arthritis.
[0012] The ST2 gene product includes four subtypes: sST2, ST2L, ST2V, and ST2LV. sST2 is a soluble ST2 that can be secreted extracellularly and can also be induced to express in the retina, breast, and osteoblasts. ST2V is mainly expressed in the colon, stomach, small intestine, lungs, spleen, testes, and placenta, rather than in tissues such as the brain, heart, liver, kidneys, and skeletal muscle. Suzukawa et al. found that the receptor-type ST2L is mainly expressed on the surface of Th2 lymphocytes and mast cells, and some granulocytes such as basophils and eosinophils may express membrane-type ST2 molecules (Suzukawa M, Iikura M, Koketsu R, et al. An IL-1 cytokine member, IL-33, induces human basophil activation via its ST2 receptor[J]. The Journal of Immunology, 2008, 181(9): 5981-5989).
[0013] ST2 and IL-1 co-receptor protein (IL-1RAcP) form the IL-33 receptor complex (IL-33R1). IL-1RAcP binds to ST2 in a ligand-dependent manner, increasing the affinity of IL-33 for ST2. IL-33 transduces signals into the cell by binding to the IL-33 receptor complex on the cell membrane, recruiting downstream signaling molecules such as myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), IL-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK), and tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) and activating downstream mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP-KK). MAP-KK, in turn, activates protein-1 (AP-1) via c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). TRAF6 can also activate the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) kinase inhibitor complex, leading to the release of NF-κB from the complex. NF-κB is the first responder to harmful cellular stimuli. There are many known activators of the NF-κB pathway, including: TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12, iNOS, COX2, chemokines, adhesion molecules, colony-stimulating factors, etc. (Kakkar R, Lee RT. The IL-33 / ST2 pathway: therapeutic target and novel biomarker[J]. Nature reviews Drug discovery, 2008, 7(10): 827-840).
[0014] It has been shown that dysregulation of the IL-33 / ST2 pathway can cause a variety of immune-mediated diseases, including asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease (Palmer G, Gabay C. Interleukin-33 biology with potential insights into human diseases[J]. Nature Reviews Rheumatology, 2011, 7(6):321), atopic dermatitis (Shimizu M, Matsuda A, Yanagisawa K, et al. Functional SNPs in the distal promoter of the ST2 gene are associated with atopic dermatitis[J]. Human molecular genetics, 2005, 14(19):2919-2927), and allergic rhinitis (Kamekura R, Kojima T, Takano K, et al. The role of IL-33 and its receptor ST2 in human nasal epithelium with allergic rhinitis[J]. Clinical & Experimental). Allergy, 2012, 42(2):218-228), nasal polyps and systemic sclerosis (Manetti M, Ibba-Manneschi L, Liakouli V, et al. The IL1-like cytokine IL-33 and its receptor ST2 are abnormally expressed in the affected skin and visceral organs of patients with systemic sclerosis[J]. Annals of the rheumatic diseases, 2010, 69(3):598-605).
[0015] Asthma is generally considered a Th2 cell-mediated disease, with T lymphocytes, eosinophils, and mast cells playing important roles in its pathogenesis. Several changes in the airway of asthma patients, such as hyperresponsiveness, inflammation, tissue remodeling, and damage to the airway epithelial cell layer, can lead to the release of damage-associated pattern molecules (DAMPs), including IL-33. Studies by Prefontaine et al. have found increased levels of IL-33 protein and mRNA in airway smooth muscle cells of subjects with severe respiratory asthma. D, Lajoie-Kadoch S, Foley S, et al. Increased expression of IL-33 in severe asthma: evidence of expression by airway smooth muscle cells[J]. The Journal of Immunology, 2009, 183(8): 5094-5103). In studies of the roles of IL-33 and ST2 in allergic airway inflammation using ST2 or IL-33-deficient mice, intranasal administration of IL-33 induced allergic inflammation, leading to increased levels of IL-5, IL-13, and eosinophil chemokines, increased mucus secretion, and infiltration of eosinophils and T lymphocytes. Conversely, ST2 knockout resulted in reduced airway inflammation and decreased IL-5 production. These studies indicate that the IL-33 / ST2 signaling pathway plays an important role in the development of allergic airway inflammation (Kondo Y, Yoshimoto T, Yasuda K, et al. Administration of IL-33 induces airway hyperresponsiveness and goblet cell hyperplasia in the lungs in the absence of adaptive immune system[J]. International immunology, 2008, 20(6):791-800).
[0016] Anti-ST2 antibody drugs have broad application prospects and can be used to treat diseases such as asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, nasal polyps, and systemic sclerosis. Roche Pharmaceuticals From the drug development pipeline of Amgen The company has obtained authorization for the anti-ST2 antibody AMG282. AMG282 is currently in the mid-stage of clinical research and has completed clinical trials related to drug safety and effective dosage (NCT02170337, NCT01928368). AMG282 is expected to become a new generation of monoclonal antibody drugs for the treatment of asthma.
[0017] Currently, there is a need to develop new anti-IL-4RA antibodies and bispecific antibody drugs that simultaneously target IL-4RA and ST2. Summary of the Invention
[0018] Through in-depth research and creative work, the inventors have obtained a specific antibody (named 14A10) that specifically binds to human IL-4RA, and this antibody can effectively block the binding of human IL-4RA and IL-4.

These antibodies can effectively bind to human IL-4RA, blocking the binding of human IL-4RA to its ligands IL-4 or IL-13, and inhibiting the activation of downstream signaling pathways of human IL-4RA; they have the potential to be used in the preparation of drugs for the prevention and treatment of allergic rhinitis, asthma, allergies, atopic dermatitis, sinusitis, nodular prurigo, chronic urticaria, nasal polyps, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, tissue fibrosis, and autoimmune diseases. Furthermore, the inventors have prepared an anti-IL-4RA-anti-ST2 bispecific antibody based on this. This provides the following invention:

[0637] In some embodiments, the diseases described in this invention are IL-4 / IL-4RA, IL-13 / IL-4RA, and / or IL-33 / ST2 mediated diseases.
[0638] In this invention, unless otherwise stated, the scientific and technical terms used herein have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art. Furthermore, the cell culture, molecular genetics, nucleic acid chemistry, and immunology laboratory procedures used in this invention are all conventional procedures widely used in their respective fields. To better understand this invention, definitions and explanations of relevant terms are provided below.
[0639] As used herein, the term "antigen-binding region" refers to a portion of a protein or protein that specifically binds to a designated antigen. For example, this portion of an antibody containing amino acid residues that interact with the antigen and confer specificity and affinity to the antigen is called an "antigen-binding region." Antigen-binding regions typically include one or more "complementarity-determining regions" (CDRs). Some antigen-binding regions also include one or more "fragment regions" (FRs). A CDR is an amino acid sequence that contributes to antigen-binding specificity and affinity. The assignment of amino acids to the regions or domains follows known antibody numbering systems, such as the Kabat numbering system, Martin numbering system, Chothia numbering system, AHo numbering system, or IMGT numbering system (Dondelinger, Mathieu et al. Understanding the Significance and Implications of Antibody Numbering and Antigen-Binding Surface / Residue Definition. Frontiers in Immunology vol.9 2278. 16 Oct. 2018). Based on known antibody numbering systems, those skilled in the art can determine the CDR sequences of the heavy and light chains based on given antibody heavy and light chain sequences.
[0640] As used herein, the term "antibody" refers to any intact immunoglobulin of the same type or its antigen-binding fragment that can compete with an intact antibody for specific binding to a target antigen, and includes, for example, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, fully humanized antibodies, and bispecific antibodies or their antigen-binding fragments. Such "antibodies" are a class of antigen-binding proteins. Intact antibodies typically contain at least two full-length heavy chains and two full-length light chains, but in some cases, may include fewer chains, such as antibodies naturally occurring in camelids that may contain only heavy chains. Antibodies or their antigen-binding fragments may be derived from a single source or may be "chimeric," meaning that different portions of the antibody may be derived from two different sources further described below. Antibodies or their antigen-binding fragments may be produced in hybridomas using recombinant DNA technology or by enzymatic or chemical cleavage of intact antibodies. Unless otherwise indicated, the term "antibody" includes, in addition to antibodies containing two full-length heavy chains and two full-length light chains, its derivatives, variants, and fragments.
[0641] As used herein, the term "antibody" or "immunoglobulin chain (heavy chain or light chain)" and its "antigen-binding fragment" (or simply "fragment") comprise a portion of an antibody that lacks at least some of the amino acids present in the full-length chain of the antibody but is capable of specifically binding an antigen (in any way, this portion is obtained or synthesized). Such fragments are biologically active because they specifically bind to a target antigen and can compete with other antibodies or their antigen-binding fragments for specific binding to a given epitope. In one aspect, such fragments will retain at least one CDR present in the full-length light chain or heavy chain of the antibody, and in some embodiments will comprise a single heavy chain and / or light chain or a portion thereof. These biologically active fragments can be produced by recombinant DNA technology or can be produced, for example, by enzymatic or chemical cleavage of an intact antibody. Immunofunctional immunoglobulin fragments include, but are not limited to, Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, Fv, domain antibodies, and single-chain antibodies, and can be derived from any mammalian source, including but not limited to humans, mice, rats, camels, or rabbits. It is also envisioned that the functional portions of the antibodies disclosed herein, such as one or more CDRs, can be covalently bound to a second protein or small molecule to generate a therapeutic agent that targets a specific target in the body, thereby possessing bifunctional therapeutic properties or having an extended serum half-life, such as a fusion protein.
[0642] As used herein, the terms “full-length antibody,” “full-length antibody,” “intact antibody,” and “whole antibody” are used interchangeably to refer to an antibody having a structure substantially similar to that of a natural antibody or a heavy chain having an Fc region as defined herein.
[0643] The term "light chain" includes full-length light chains and segments thereof with sufficient variable region sequences to confer binding specificity. Full-length light chains include a variable region domain (VL) and a constant region domain (CL). The variable region domain of the light chain is located at the amino terminus of the polypeptide. Light chains include κ chains and λ chains.
[0644] The term "heavy chain" includes the full-length heavy chain and its segments with sufficient variable region sequences to confer binding specificity. The full-length heavy chain includes a variable region domain (VH) and three constant region domains (CH1, CH2, and CH3). The VH domain is located at the amino terminus of the polypeptide, and the CH domain is located at the carboxyl terminus, with CH3 being closest to the carboxyl terminus of the polypeptide. The heavy chain can have any isotype, including IgG (including IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4 isotypes), IgA (including IgA1 and IgA2 isotypes), IgM, and IgE.
[0645] As used in this invention, the term "Fab fragment" consists of a light chain and a CH1 group, as well as a variable region of a heavy chain. The heavy chain of the Fab molecule cannot form disulfide bonds with another heavy chain molecule.
[0646] As used in this invention, the term "Fc" region contains two heavy chain segments comprising the CH1 and CH2 domains of the antibody. The two heavy chain segments are held together by two or more disulfide bonds and by hydrophobic interactions through the CH3 domain.
[0647] As used in this invention, the term "Fab' fragment" comprises a portion of a light chain and a portion of a heavy chain (containing a VH domain and a CH1 domain, as well as a portion of the region between the CH1 and CH2 domains) so that interchain disulfide bonds can be formed between the two heavy chains of two Fab' fragments to form an F(ab')2 molecule.
[0648] As used in this invention, the term "F(ab')2 fragment" comprises two light chains and two heavy chains containing portions of a constant region between CH1 and CH2 domains, so as to form interchain disulfide bonds between the two heavy chains. The F(ab')2 fragment thus consists of two Fab' fragments held together by disulfide bonds between the two heavy chains.
[0649] As used in this invention, the term "Fv region" includes variable regions from both the heavy and light chains, but lacks constant regions.
[0650] As used in this invention, the term “Fd” fragment refers to an antibody fragment consisting of VH and CH1 domains (Ward et al., Nature 341:544-546 (1989)).
[0651] As used in this invention, the term “dAb” fragment (Ward et al., Nature 341:544-546 (1989)) consists of a VH domain.
[0652] As used herein, the term "Fab'-SH" is the name given to Fab' herein, wherein one or more cysteine residues of a constant domain carry a free thiol group.
[0653] As used in this invention, the term "Fab / c" fragment is an antibody cleavage intermediate formed by the digestion of immunoglobulins by pepsin. It has the advantages of both Fab and Fc regions, namely, strong diffusion ability, slow in vivo metabolic clearance, and high affinity (Liu Jianjun, Journal of Cellular and Molecular Immunology, 1989(4):29-29).
[0654] As used herein, the term "single-chain antibody" is an Fv molecule in which the variable regions of the heavy and light chains are linked by flexible linkers to form a single polypeptide chain (which forms the antigen-binding region) (see, for example, Bird et al., Science. 242:423-426 (1988) and Huston et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 90:5879-5883 (1988)). Single-chain antibodies are described in detail in International Patent Application Publication No. WO 88 / 01649 and U.S. Patents USP 4,946,778 and USP 5,260,203 (the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference).
[0655] As used herein, the term "domain antibody" is an immunofunctional immunoglobulin fragment containing only a variable region of the heavy chain or a variable region of the light chain. In some cases, two or more VH regions are covalently linked via peptide linkers to generate multivalent domain antibodies (particularly bivalent domain antibodies). The two VH regions of a bivalent domain antibody can target the same or different antigens.
[0656] As used herein, the term "bivalent antigen-binding protein" or "bivalent antibody" comprises two antigen-binding sites. In some cases, the two binding sites have the same antigen specificity. A bivalent antibody can be bispecific.
[0657] As used in this invention, the terms "multispecific antigen-binding protein" or "multispecific antibody" are antigen-binding proteins or antibodies that target more than one antigen or epitope.
[0658] As used herein, the terms "bispecific," "dual-specific," or "bifunctional" antigen-binding protein or antibody refer to hybrid antigen-binding proteins or antibodies that each have two distinct antigen-binding sites. A bispecific antibody is a multispecific antigen-binding protein or antibody and can be produced by a variety of methods, including, but not limited to, hybridoma fusion or Fab' fragment linkage. See, for example, Songsivilai and Lachmann, 1990, Clin. Exp. Immunol. 79: 315-321; Kostelny et al., 1992, J. Immunol. 148: 1547-1553. The two binding sites of a bispecific antigen-binding protein or antibody will bind two distinct epitopes, which are located on the same or different protein targets.
[0659] As used herein, the terms "monoclonal antibody" and "monoclonal antibody" refer to an antibody or a fragment of an antibody derived from a group of highly homologous antibody molecules, i.e., a group of identical antibody molecules except for the possibility of spontaneous natural mutations. Monoclonal antibodies exhibit high specificity for a single epitope on an antigen. Polyclonal antibodies, as opposed to monoclonal antibodies, typically comprise at least two or more different antibodies that typically recognize different epitopes on an antigen. Monoclonal antibodies are generally obtained using hybridoma techniques first reported by Kohler et al. (Nature, 256:495, 1975), but can also be obtained using recombinant DNA techniques (see, for example, USP 4,816,567).
[0660] As used herein, the term "humanized antibody" refers to an antibody or antibody fragment obtained by replacing all or part of the CDR region of a human immunoglobulin (receptor antibody) with the CDR region of a non-human antibody (donor antibody), wherein the donor antibody can be a non-human antibody (e.g., mouse, rat, or rabbit) with the expected specificity, affinity, or reactivity. Furthermore, some amino acid residues of the frame region (FR) of the receptor antibody may also be replaced by amino acid residues of the corresponding non-human antibody, or by amino acid residues of other antibodies, to further improve or optimize the antibody's performance. For more detailed information on humanized antibodies, please refer to, for example, Jones et al., Nature, 321:522 525 (1986); Reichmann et al., Nature, 332:323 329 (1988); Presta, Curr. Op. Struct. Biol., 2:593 596 (1992); and Clark, Immunol. Today 21:397 402 (2000).
[0661] As used herein, the term "epitope" refers to a site on an antigen that is specifically bound by an immunoglobulin or antibody. "Epitope" is also referred to in the art as an "antigenic determinant." An epitope or antigenic determinant typically consists of chemically active surface groups of a molecule, such as amino acids or carbohydrate or sugar side chains, and usually has specific three-dimensional structural features and specific charge characteristics. For example, an epitope typically comprises at least 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15 consecutive or discontinuous amino acids in a unique spatial conformation, which can be "linear" or "conformal." See, for example, Epitope Mapping Protocols in Methods in Molecular Biology, Vol. 66, GEMorris, Ed. (1996). In a linear epitope, all points of interaction between the protein and the interacting molecule (e.g., an antibody) are linear along the primary amino acid sequence of the protein. In a conformational epitope, points of interaction are separated by protein amino acid residues.
[0662] The terms “peptide” or “protein” are used interchangeably herein to refer to polymers of amino acid residues. The term is also used for amino acid polymers in which one or more amino acid residues are analogs or simulants of corresponding naturally occurring amino acids, and for naturally occurring amino acid polymers. The term may also include amino acid polymers that have been modified, for example by adding sugar residues to form glycoproteins, or phosphorylated amino acid polymers. Peptides and proteins may be produced by naturally occurring cells and non-recombinant cells; or by genetically engineered or recombinant cells, and comprise molecules having the amino acid sequence of a natural protein, or molecules having one or more amino acids with a natural sequence that have been omitted, added, and / or substituted.
[0663] The terms “peptide” and “protein” specifically include antibodies, such as anti-human IL-4RA antibodies (also known as IL-4RA antibodies), IL-4RA binding proteins, antibodies or sequences with one or more amino acid deletions, additions and / or substitutions of antigen-binding proteins.
[0664] The term "peptide fragment" refers to a polypeptide that has an amino-terminal deletion, a carboxyl-terminal deletion, and / or an internal deletion compared to a full-length protein. Such fragments may also contain modified amino acids compared to a full-length protein. In some embodiments, the fragment length is from about 5 to 500 amino acids. For example, the fragment length may be at least 5, 6, 8, 10, 14, 20, 50, 70, 100, 110, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, or 450 amino acids. Useful peptide fragments include immunofunctional fragments of antibodies, including binding domains. In the case of human IL-4RA antibodies, useful fragments include, but are not limited to, CDR regions, variable domains of the heavy or light chain, portions of the antibody chain, or variable domains that exactly include two CDRs.
[0665] The terms “human IL-4RA,” “hIL-4RA,” “human IL-4 receptor A,” and “human IL-4 receptor α subunit” are used interchangeably and refer to the human interleukin-4 receptor α subunit. IL-4 and IL-13 are the primary endogenous agonists of IL-4RA. Unless otherwise specified or clearly understood from the context in which the terms are used, “IL-4RA” refers to human IL-4RA.
[0666] The terms “human ST2” and “IL1RL1” are used interchangeably and refer to the human growth-stimulating gene 2 protein. Unless otherwise specified or clearly understood from the context in which the terms are used, “ST2” refers to human ST2.
[0667] A “derivative” of a polypeptide is a polypeptide that is chemically modified in a manner different from that of an insertion, deletion, or substitution variant, such as by conjugation of another chemical part (e.g., an antigen-binding protein or antibody), such as a polypeptide conjugated with PEG.
[0668] As used herein, the terms "separated" or "isolated" refer to substances obtained artificially from their natural state. If a substance or component is found in nature as a "separated" substance, it may be due to an alteration of its natural environment, the separation of the substance from its natural environment, or both. For example, a certain unseparated polynucleotide or polypeptide may naturally exist in the body of a living animal, and a high-purity identical polynucleotide or polypeptide separated from this natural state is called a separated substance. The terms "separated" or "isolated" do not exclude the presence of artificial or synthetic substances, nor do they exclude the presence of other impurities that do not affect the activity of the substance.
[0669] As used in this invention, the term "vector" refers to a nucleic acid delivery vehicle into which polynucleotides can be inserted. When a vector enables the expression of a protein encoded by the inserted polynucleotide, it is called an expression vector. Vectors can be introduced into host cells through transformation, transduction, or transfection, allowing the genetic material elements they carry to be expressed in the host cells. Vectors are well-known to those skilled in the art and include, but are not limited to: plasmids; phage particles; Cos plasmids; artificial chromosomes, such as yeast artificial chromosomes (YAC), bacterial artificial chromosomes (BAC), or P1-derived artificial chromosomes (PAC); bacteriophages such as λ phage or M13 phage; and animal viruses. Animal viruses that can be used as vectors include, but are not limited to, retrotranscriptoviruses (including lentiviruses), adenoviruses, adeno-associated viruses, herpesviruses (such as herpes simplex virus), poxviruses, baculoviruses, papillomaviruses, and papillomaviruses (such as SV40). A vector may contain multiple elements controlling expression, including but not limited to, promoter sequences, transcription initiation sequences, enhancer sequences, selection elements, and reporter genes. Additionally, a vector may contain a replication initiation site.
[0670] As used in this invention, the term "host cell" refers to a cell that can be used to introduce a vector, including but not limited to prokaryotic cells such as Escherichia coli or Bacillus subtilis, fungal cells such as yeast cells or Aspergillus, insect cells such as S2 Drosophila cells or Sf9, or animal cells such as fibroblasts, CHO cells, COS cells, NSO cells, HeLa cells, BHK cells, HEK 293 cells, or human cells.
[0671] As used in this invention, the term "specific binding" refers to a non-random binding reaction between two molecules, such as the reaction between an antibody and its targeted antigen. In some embodiments, an antibody that specifically binds to an antigen (or an antibody that is specific to an antigen) means that the antibody binds to less than about 10 -5 M, for example, less than approximately 10 -6 M, 10 -7 M, 10 -8 M, 10 -9 M or 10 -10 M or lower affinity (K) D () binds to the antigen.
[0672] As used in this invention, the term "K" D "K" refers to the dissociation equilibrium constant of a specific antibody-antigen interaction, used to describe the binding affinity between the antibody and the antigen. Among several parameters measured by molecular binding kinetics, K is... D The value is the dissociation equilibrium constant, a parameter in antibody drug research that characterizes the strength of the affinity between the test antibody and the target antigen molecule. It is calculated using the formula K.D = kdis / kon, the smaller the equilibrium dissociation constant, the stronger the antibody-antigen binding and the higher the affinity between the antibody and the antigen. kon, the binding rate constant, equals the rate at which the antigen-antibody complex forms; a smaller kon indicates a faster antibody-antigen binding speed. kdis, the dissociation rate constant, equals the rate at which the antibody dissociates from the antigen-antibody complex; a smaller kdis indicates a slower rate of antibody detachment from the antigen, and a more stable antibody-antigen binding. Typically, antibodies bind at a rate less than approximately 10... -5 M, for example, less than approximately 10 -6 M, 10 -7 M, 10 -8 M, 10 -9 M or 10 -10 M or a smaller dissociation equilibrium constant (K) D The binding antigen (e.g., IL-4RA protein) is measured, for example, using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) in a BIACORE instrument or a Fortebio molecular interaction instrument.
[0673] As used in this invention, the terms "monoclonal antibody" and "monoclonal antibody" have the same meaning and are used interchangeably; the terms "polyclonal antibody" and "polyclonal antibody" have the same meaning and are used interchangeably; and the terms "peptide" and "protein" have the same meaning and are used interchangeably. Furthermore, in this invention, amino acids are generally represented by single-letter and three-letter abbreviations known in the art. For example, alanine can be represented by A or Ala.
[0674] As used in this invention, the terms “hybridoma” and “hybridoma cell line” are used interchangeably, and when referring to the terms “hybridoma” and “hybridoma cell line”, they also include subclones and progeny cells of the hybridoma.
[0675] As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and / or excipient” means a carrier and / or excipient that is pharmacologically and / or physiologically compatible with the subject and the active ingredient, which is well known in the art and includes, but is not limited to: pH adjusters, buffers, viscosity reducers, surfactants, adjuvants, ionic strength enhancers, protectants, etc.
[0676] As used herein, the term "carrier" refers to a diluent, adjuvant, excipient, or medium that is administered with the therapeutic agent. Such drug carriers can be sterile liquids, such as water and oils (including oils of petroleum, animal, plant, or synthetic origin, such as peanut oil, soybean oil, mineral oil, sesame oil, etc.). Water is the preferred carrier when the drug composition is administered intravenously. Saline solutions, as well as aqueous solutions of dextran and glycerol, can also be used as liquid carriers, particularly for injectable solutions. Suitable drug excipients include starch, glucose, lactose, sucrose, gelatin, malt, rice, flour, chalk, silica gel, sodium stearate, glyceryl monostearate, talc, sodium chloride, skim milk powder, glycerol, propylene, glycol, water, ethanol, etc. If desired, the composition may also contain small amounts of wetting agents or emulsifiers, or pH buffers, such as acetates, citrates, or phosphates. It is also envisioned that the composition include antibacterial agents such as benzyl alcohol or methylparaben; antioxidants such as ascorbic acid or sodium bisulfite; chelating agents such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid; and osmolarity regulators such as sodium chloride or dextran. These compositions can be in the form of solutions, suspensions, emulsions, tablets, pills, capsules, powders, sustained-release formulations, etc. The composition can be formulated into suppositories using conventional binders and carriers such as triglycerides. Oral formulations may include standard carriers such as pharmaceutical-grade mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharin, cellulose, magnesium carbonate, etc. Examples of suitable drug carriers are described in EW Martin's Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, which is incorporated herein by reference. Such compositions would contain a therapeutically effective amount of an antigen-binding polypeptide (preferably in a purified form) and a suitable amount of carrier to provide a form suitable for administration to the patient. The formulation should be suitable for the route of administration. Parenteral formulations can be packaged in ampoules made of glass or plastic, disposable syringes, or multi-dose vials.
[0677] As used in this article, the terms “percentage sequence identity” and “percentage sequence homology” are used interchangeably.
[0678] As used herein, the terms “similarity” or “sequence similarity” and “identity” refer to the relationship between the sequences of two or more protein or polypeptide molecules, as determined by alignment and comparison of sequences. “Percentage identity” refers to the percentage of identical residues among the amino acids in the molecules being compared and can be calculated based on the size of the smallest molecule to be compared. To perform these calculations, gaps in the alignment (if any) must be resolved using a specific mathematical model or computer program (i.e., an “algorithm”). When applied to polypeptides, the term “bulk identity” means that two peptide sequences, when optimally aligned using, for example, programs such as GAP or BESTFIT, with the default gap weights provided by the programs, share at least 70%, 75%, or 80% sequence identity, at least 90% or 95% sequence identity, and at least 97%, 98%, or 99% sequence identity. In some cases, dissimilar residue sites differ due to conserved amino acid substitutions. A “conserved amino acid substitution” is a substitution in which an amino acid residue is replaced by another amino acid residue having a side chain R group possessing similar chemical properties (e.g., charge or aqueousity). Generally, conserved amino acid substitutions will not substantially alter the functional properties of a protein. Where two or more amino acid sequences differ from each other due to a conserved substitution, the percentage sequence identity can be increased to correct for the conserved nature of the substitution. Methods for making this adjustment are well known to those skilled in the art. See, for example, Pearson, Methods Mol. Biol. 243:307-31 (1994). Examples of amino acid groups having side chains with similar chemical properties include: 1) aliphatic hydroxyl side chains: glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, and isoleucine; 2) aliphatic hydroxyl side chains: serine and threonine; 3) amide-containing side chains: asparagine and glutamine; 4) aromatic side chains: phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan; 5) basic side chains: lysine, arginine, and histidine; 6) acidic side chains: aspartic acid and glutamic acid; and 7) sulfur-containing side chains: cysteine and methionine. The conserved amino acid substitution groups are valine-leucine-isoleucine, phenylalanine-tyrosine, lysine-arginine, alanine-valine, glutamic acid-aspartic acid, and asparagine-glutamine.
[0679] Alternatively, a conservative permutation is any change that has a positive value in the PAM250 log-likelihood matrix as disclosed in Gonnet et al., Science 256:1443-45 (1992) (incorporated hereby by reference). A “moderately conservative” permutation is any change that has a non-negative value in the PAM250 log-likelihood matrix.
[0680] Sequence analysis software is commonly used to measure peptide sequence identity. Protein analysis software uses measures of similarity assigned to different substitutions, deletions, and other modifications, including conserved amino acid substitutions, to match sequences. For example, GCG includes programs such as "Gap" and "Bestfit," which (using default parameters specified by the program) can be used to determine sequence homology or sequence identity between closely related peptides (e.g., homologous peptides from different biological species) or between wild-type proteins and their mutant proteins. See, for example, GCG Version 6.1 (University of Wisconsin, WI). Peptide sequences can also be compared using FASTA with default or recommended parameters; see GCG Version 6.10. FASTA (e.g., FASTA2 and FASTA3) provides alignment and percentage sequence identity of the best overlapping region between the challenge sequence and the search sequence (Pearson, Methods Enzymol. 183:63-98 (1990): Pearson, Methods Mol. Biol. 132:185-219 (2000)). When comparing sequences with databases containing a large number of sequences from different organisms, another preferred algorithm is the computer program BLAST, specifically blastp or tblastn (using the default parameters provided by the program). See, for example, Altschul et al., Mol. Biol. 215:403-410 (1990); Altschul et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389-402 (1997).

[0760] Preparation Example 1: Preparation and Sequence Analysis of Antibody 14A10 against Human IL-4RA
[0761] 1. Preparation of hybridoma cell line 14A10
[0762] The immunogen IL-4RA-mFc used to prepare the anti-IL-4RA antibody was a fusion protein of the mature human IL-4RA peptide (Genbank ID: NP_001244336.1) and the mFc tag (SEQ ID NO: 6) (synthesized by Zhongshan Kangfang Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd.), and human hematologic leukemia cells TF-1 (ATCC, CRL-2003) were used to immunize BALB / c mice (purchased from Guangdong Medical Experimental Animal Center). Following existing techniques (e.g., Stewart, SJ, “Monoclonal Antibody Production”, in Basic Methods in antibody Production and Characterization, Eds. G. Howard and DRBethell, Boca Raton: CRC Press, 2000), spleen cells from antigen-immunized BALB / c mice (purchased from Guangdong Medical Experimental Animal Center) were fused with mouse myeloma cells to form hybridoma cells. Using IL-4RA-hFc protein (IL-4RA as described above, hFc being a purified human IgG Fc tag, specifically the Ig gamma-1 chain C region, Genbank ID: P01857, positions 114-330) as the antigen, ELISA plates were coated with hybridoma cells to obtain hybridoma cells that secreted antibodies specifically binding to IL-4RA-hFc. The hybridoma cells obtained from indirect ELISA were then screened using competitive ELISA to identify hybridoma cell lines that secreted monoclonal antibodies that competitively bind to IL-4RA-hFc with the ligand IL4-N-his (IL4 NCBI Gene ID: AAH70123.1). These lines were then subjected to limiting dilution to obtain hybridoma cell lines that stably secreted anti-human IL-4RA antibodies. The monoclonal antibodies secreted by these hybridoma cell lines were named 14A10.
[0763] 2. Preparation of anti-IL-4RA antibody 14A10
[0764] The hybridoma cell line prepared above was cultured in a cell culture incubator (5% CO2, 37℃) using CD medium (Chemical Defined Medium containing 1% penicillin and streptomycin). After 7 days, the cell culture supernatant was collected and purified by high-speed centrifugation, vacuum filtration through a microporous membrane, and HiTrap protein A HP column to obtain antibody 14A10.
[0765] 3. Sequence analysis of anti-IL-4RA antibody 14A10
[0766] mRNA was extracted from the hybridoma cell line obtained in step 1 according to the method of the cultured bacterial total RNA extraction kit (Tiangen, catalog number DP430).
[0767] According to Invitrogen III. First-Strand Synthesis System for RT-PCR Kit Instructions: Synthesize cDNA and perform PCR amplification.
[0768] The PCR amplification products were directly cloned using TA. For specific procedures, please refer to the instructions of the pEASY-T1 Cloning Kit (Transgen CT101).
[0769] The TA clone product was directly sequenced, and the sequencing results are as follows:

[0775] Preparation Example 2: Design and Preparation of Anti-IL-4RA Chimeric Antibody 14A10 (CH)
[0776] Based on the variable region sequence of antibody 14A10 obtained in Preparation Example 1, a chimeric antibody was designed. The chimeric antibody's heavy chain constant region adopted the human Ig gamma-4 chain C region; the light chain constant region adopted the human Ig kappa chain C region, resulting in chimeric antibody 14A10(CH). The amino acid sequence of the 14A10(CH) heavy chain variable region is shown in SEQ ID NO:88, and the amino acid sequence of the 14A10(CH) light chain variable region is shown in SEQ ID NO:90; their coding sequences are shown in SEQ ID NO:89 and SEQ ID NO:91, respectively. The amino acid sequence of the 14A10(CH) heavy chain is shown in SEQ ID NO:11, and the amino acid sequence of the 14A10(CH) light chain is shown in SEQ ID NO:12; their coding sequences are shown in SEQ ID NO:35 and SEQ ID NO:36, respectively.
[0777] The 14A10(CH) heavy chain cDNA and light chain cDNA were cloned into the pUC57simple vector (provided by GenScript) to obtain pUC57simple-14A10(CH)H and pUC57simple-14A10(CH)L, respectively. Following the standard techniques described in *Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual (Third Edition)*, the full-length heavy and light chain genes synthesized by EcoRI and HindIII restriction enzyme digestion were subcloned into the expression vector pcDNA3.1 to obtain expression plasmids pcDNA3.1-14A10(CH)H and pcDNA3.1-14A10(CH)L. Further sequencing analysis of the heavy / light chain genes in the recombinant expression plasmids was then performed. Subsequently, the gene combination pcDNA3.1-14A10(CH)H / pcDNA3.1-14A10(CH)L, containing the corresponding light and heavy chain recombinant plasmids, was designed and co-transfected into 293F cells. The culture medium was then collected for purification. After sequencing verification, an endotoxin-free expression plasmid was prepared and transiently transfected into HEK293 cells for antibody expression. After 7 days of culture, the cell culture medium was collected, and affinity purification using a Protein A column was performed to obtain the chimeric antibody 14A10(CH).
[0778] The three heavy chain CDRs (HCDR1-HCDR3) and three light chain CDRs (LCDR1-LCDR3) of the chimeric antibody 14A10 (CH) are identical to those of antibody 14A10.

[0837] IL4RA-mFc was coated onto ELISA plates and incubated. After blocking, the target antibodies were added, and after incubation and washing, goat anti-human IgG Fc and HRP (purchased from Jackson ImmunoResearch Inc., catalog number: 109-035-098) were added. After incubation and washing, a colorimetric reaction was performed using TMB (Neogen, 308177).

[0843] After coating and blocking human IL4RA-hFc in the ELISA plate, the test antibody was added, followed by an equal volume of human IL4-N-His (synthesized by Zhongshan Kangfang Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd.). The mixture was incubated, washed, and then mouse anti-his and HRP (purchased from Kangwei Century Biotechnology Co., Ltd., catalog number: CW0285A) were added and incubated. After washing, TMB (Neogen, 308177) was used for color development, and the process was terminated.

[0848] 293T-IL4Rα cells (constructed by Kangfang Biotechnology) were collected by digestion with 0.05% trypsin (Gibco, catalog number: 25300-120), centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 min, and the supernatant was discarded. Cells were resuspended in DMEM + 10% FBS, and transferred at 300,000 cells / well to conical 96-well plates. 100 μl of 1% PBSA (i.e., PBS + 1% BSA, BSA (Sigma, catalog number: V900933-1KG)) was added to each well, and the supernatant was discarded after centrifugation. Experimental antibodies such as Dupilumab (Regeneron, batch number: 7L615F) were diluted to working concentrations of 0.000004 nM, 0.00004 nM, 0.0004 nM, 0.004 nM, 0.044 nM, 0.222 nM, 1.11 nM, 3.3 nM, and 10 nM. Add the diluted antibody to the corresponding wells, and set up an isotype control (hIgG4), a negative control (cells + AF647 secondary antibody group), and a blank control (293T-IL4Rα cells only). Incubate on ice for 60 min. Add 100 μl of 1% PBSA, centrifuge at 350 x g for 5 min, discard the supernatant, and wash twice with an appropriate amount of 1% PBSA. Add 50 μl / well of secondary antibody Alexa Fluor 647Mouse Anti-Human IgG Fc (Southern Biotech, catalog number: 9040-31, 1:300 dilution), and incubate on ice in the dark for 30 min. Add 100 μl of 1% PBSA, centrifuge at 350 x g for 5 min, discard the supernatant, and wash twice with an appropriate amount of 1% PBSA. Resuspend the cells in 200 μl of 1% PBSA before testing.
[0849] The experimental results are shown in Figure 2 and Table 8.

[0852] Example 3: Cellular biological activity analysis of anti-IL-4RA antibody
[0853] The cellular biological activities of 14A10H49L25, 14A10H50L25, and 14A10H43L25 in blocking the proliferation of human IL-4 and IL-13-induced TF-1 cells were detected using a cell proliferation assay. The specific steps are as follows:
[0854] TF-1 cells (purchased from the American Type Culture Collection, catalog number: CRL-2003) were seeded in RPMI 1640 + 10% FBS + 2.5 g / L glucose (Sigma, catalog number: G7528-250G) + 2 ng / mL GM-CSF (Peprotech, catalog number: 300-03) and cultured normally. On the day of the experiment, TF-1 cells were collected by centrifugation, resuspended in culture medium without GM-CSF, counted, and seeded at 20,000 cells per well into 96-well plates. A blank control (group with only TF-1 cells), a negative control (IL-4 group or IL-13 group), an isotype control group (hIgG4), and an experimental antibody group were set up. According to the experimental design, experimental antibodies (final concentrations of 0.004 nM, 0.02 nM, 0.1 nM, 0.5 nM, 2.5 nM, or 50 nM) or isotype control antibody hIgG4 (final concentration of 50 nM) were added to the cells. Two replicates were set for each treatment, and the cells were pre-incubated at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 30 min. After pre-incubation, human IL-4 (Peprotech, catalog number: 200-04, final concentration of 0.25 nM) or human IL-13 (Sino Biological, catalog number: 10369-HNAC-20, final concentration of 0.8 nM) were added, and the cells were incubated at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 72 h. After 72 h, CCK8 reagent was added according to the instructions of the CCK8 kit (purchased from Dojin, catalog number: CK04), mixed well, and the OD values were read at 450 nm and 600 nm using a microplate reader.
[0855] The test results are shown in Figures 3A and 3B. The results showed that both human IL-4 and IL-13 could effectively promote the proliferation of TF-1 cells; compared with the isotype control antibody (hIgG4), 14A10H49L25, 14A10H50L25, and 14A10H43L25 could specifically inhibit the proliferation of TF-1 cells induced by IL-4 and IL-13 in a dose-dependent manner.

[0858] Using Ficoll-Paque TM Plus (GE, catalog number: 17-1440-02) isolated PBMCs from peripheral blood donated by healthy volunteers and cryopreserved. PBMCs were resuscitated and cultured overnight at 37°C in a 5% FBS-containing RPMI 1640 complete medium. PBMCs were routinely collected and added at 300,000 cells per well to very low adsorption round-bottom 96-well plates (Corning, catalog number: 7007). Blank control (group with only PBMCs and secondary antibody), negative control (group with IL-4 or IL-13 added to the blank control), isotype control (hIgG4), and experimental antibody group were set up. According to the experimental design, experimental antibodies such as Dupilumab (Regeneron, batch number: 7L615F) (final concentrations of 25 nM, 2.5 nM, and 0.25 nM) or isotype control hIgG4 (final concentration of 25 nM) were added to the cells, and pre-incubated for 30 min. After 30 minutes, add human IL-4 (Peprotech, catalog number: 200-04, final concentration: 100 pM) or human IL-13 (Sino Biological, catalog number: 10369-HNAC-20, final concentration: 100 ng / mL) and incubate for 2 days. After 2 days, transfer each group of PBMCs to 96-well flow cytometry plates and wash once with 1% PBSA (i.e., PBS + 1% BSA). Add Mouse IgG Isotype Control (Thermofisher, catalog number: 10400C, diluted 20 times with 1% PBSA) and incubate on ice for 20 minutes. After washing once with an appropriate amount of 1% PBSA, add FITC anti-human CD3 Antibody (Biolegend, catalog number: 344804, 1:100 dilution) and Brilliant Violet 421. TMA mixture of secondary antibodies, namely anti-human CD19 Antibody (Biolegend, catalog number: 302234, 1:100 dilution) and PE anti-human CD23 Antibody (Biolegend, catalog number: 338508, 1:50 dilution), was incubated on ice in the dark for 30 min.

According to the experimental design, experimental antibodies such as Dupilumab (Regeneron) (Regeneron, batch number: 7L615F) (final concentrations of 25 nM, 2.5 nM, and 0.25 nM) or isotype control hIgG4 (final concentration of 25 nM) were added to the cells, and pre-incubated for 30 min. After 30 min, add human IL-4 (Peprotech, catalog number: 200-04, final concentration: 100 pM) or human IL-13 (Sino Biological, catalog number: 10369-HNAC-20, final concentration: 100 ng / mL) and incubate for 2 days. After 2 days, transfer each group of PBMCs to a 96-well flow cytometry plate and wash once with 1% PBSA (i.e., PBS + 1% BSA). Add Mouse IgG Isotype Control (Thermofisher, catalog number: 10400C, diluted 20 times with 1% PBSA) and incubate on ice for 20 min. After washing once with an appropriate amount of 1% PBSA, add FITC anti-human CD3 Antibody (Biolegend, catalog number: 344804, 1:100 dilution) and Alexa Fluor.

The final concentrations of the experimental antibodies were 30 nM, 10 nM, 3.33 nM, 0.833 nM, 0.208 nM, 0.042 nM, 0.0083 nM, and 0.0017 nM (see Figure 10C) or 30 nM, 10 nM, 3.33 nM, 0.833 nM, 0.208 nM, 0.042 nM, 0.0083 nM, and 0.00083 nM (see Figure 10D). The final concentration of the isotype control antibody hIgG4 was 30 nM, and the final concentration of human IL-4 protein was 100 pM.
[0926] 293T-STAT6Luc cells (constructed by Kangfang Biotechnology) were collected via routine digestion, centrifuged at 170xg for 5 min, and the supernatant was discarded. The cells were resuspended in DMEM complete medium (DMEM + 10% FBS), and the cell density was adjusted to 1*10⁻⁶ cells / mL. 4 Cells / well were seeded into 96-well black plates (Costar, model: 3916). Antibodies such as Dupilumab (Regeneron, batch number: 7L615F) were diluted with DMEM complete medium and added to the corresponding wells, then incubated for 30 min. Human IL-4 protein (Peprotech, catalog number: 200-04) was diluted with DMEM complete medium and added to the corresponding wells, then incubated for 5 hrs. 50 μL of Luciferase Assay System (Promega, catalog number: E2650) was added to each well, and fluorescence values were detected within 5 min using a multi-label microplate reader.
[0927] The experimental results are shown in Tables 31 and 32, and Figures 10C and 10D.
[0928] Table 31: L4RT04, TL4R04, and Dupilumab block the binding of IL-4 to IL-4RA
[0929] Table 32: L4RT04(LS), 14A10H49L25, and Dupilumab block the binding of IL-4 to IL-4RA.
[0930] The results showed that the binding of IL-4 to IL-4RA on the cell membrane surface of 293T-STAT6Luc cells could activate the reporter gene signaling pathway and upregulate luciferase expression. Under the same experimental conditions, 14A10H49L25, L4RT04, TL4R04, L4RT04(LS) and the positive control antibody Dupilumab could all effectively block the binding of IL-4 to IL-4RA and downregulate luciferase expression in a dose-dependent manner.
[0931] Example 11: Anti-IL-4RA-anti-ST2 bispecific antibody inhibits IL-33-mediated IL-6 secretion
[0932] The study included a blank control (A549-ST2 cell group), a negative control (cells + IL-33 group), an isotype control, and an experimental antibody group, with two replicates for each sample. The final concentrations of the experimental antibodies were 1200 nM, 240 nM, 48 nM, 9.6 nM, 1.92 nM, 0.384 nM, 0.0384 nM, and 0.00384 nM. The final concentration of the isotype control antibody hIgG1 was 1200 nM, and the final concentration of human IL-33 protein was 2.5 ng / mL.
[0933] A549-ST2 cells (constructed by Kangfang Biotechnology) in the logarithmic growth phase were collected by routine digestion, resuspended in an appropriate amount of analytical medium (DMEM + 10% FBS), and then cultured at a ratio of 8*10. 4 Cells were seeded per well in 96-well plates and incubated overnight. Antibodies such as AMG282 were diluted with analytical medium and added to the corresponding wells, then incubated for 30 min in a cell culture incubator. Human IL-33 protein (IL33-Nhis, manufactured by Zhongshan Kangfang Biotechnology) was diluted with analytical medium and added to the corresponding wells of the negative control, isotype control, and experimental antibody groups, then incubated for 24 hrs in a cell culture incubator. The 96-well cell culture plates were centrifuged, and the cell supernatant was collected and detected using a human IL-6 kit (Dakeway, catalog number: 1110602).
[0934] The experimental results are shown in Figures 11A and 11B. The results showed that 2.5 ng / mL of IL-33 could induce A549-ST2 cells to secrete IL-6. Under the same experimental conditions, 3H11H46L7 (hG1WT), TL4R04, L4RT03, L4RT04, L4RT04 (LS), and AMG282 all significantly inhibited IL-6 secretion from IL-33-stimulated A549-ST2 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Among these, at low antibody concentrations (0.0384 nM and below), TL4R04, L4RT03, L4RT04, and L4RT04 (LS) showed stronger inhibitory activity than the control antibody AMG282.

[0936] The experiment included a blank control (TF-1 cells only), a negative control (IL-4 group), an isotype control group (hIgG4), and an experimental antibody group, with two replicates for each treatment. The final concentrations of the experimental antibodies were 5 nM, 0.5 nM, and 0.05 nM (see Figure 12A) or 50 nM, 12.5 nM, 2.5 nM, 0.5 nM, 0.1 nM, 0.02 nM, 0.004 nM, and 0.0008 nM (see Figure 12B). The final concentration of the isotype control antibody hIgG4 was 5 nM or 50 nM, and the final concentration of IL-4 was 0.25 nM.
[0937] TF-1 cells in logarithmic growth phase were routinely collected (purchased from the American Type Culture Collection, catalog number: CRL-2003), resuspended in analytical medium (1640 + 10% FBS + 2.5 g / L glucose), and seeded into 96-well plates at 20,000 cells per well. Antibodies such as Dupilumab (Regeneron, batch number: 7L615F) were diluted with analytical medium and added to the corresponding wells, and pre-incubated at 37°C for 30 min. IL-4 (Peprotech, catalog number: 200-04) diluted with analytical medium was added, and the plates were incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator. After 72 hours, OD values were read at 450 nm and 600 nm using a microplate reader according to the instructions of the CCK-8 assay kit (Dojin, catalog number: CK04).
[0938] The experimental results are shown in Figures 12A and 12B. The results show that human IL-4 can promote the proliferation of TF-1 cells; compared with the isotype control antibody (hIgG4), 14A10H49L25, L4RT03, L4RT04, TL4R04, and L4RT04 (LS) can all specifically inhibit the proliferation of TF-1 cells induced by IL-4 in a dose-dependent manner.
[0939] Example 13: Anti-IL-4RA-anti-ST2 bispecific antibody inhibits the upregulation of CD23 expression in PBMC cells
[0940] The experiment included a blank control (group with only PBMC cells and secondary antibody), a negative control (group with IL-4 or IL-13 added to the blank control), an isotype control group (hIgG4), and an experimental antibody group. The final concentrations of the experimental antibodies were 25 nM, 2.5 nM, and 0.25 nM, respectively. The final concentration of the isotype control human IgG4 was 25 nM, the final concentration of human IL-4 was 100 pM, and the final concentration of human IL-13 was 100 ng / mL.
[0941] Using Ficoll-Paque TM Plus (GE, catalog number: 17-1440-02) isolated PBMCs from peripheral blood donated by healthy volunteers and cryopreserved them. PBMCs were resuscitated and cultured overnight at 37°C in a 5% FBS-containing RPMI 1640 complete medium. PBMCs were routinely collected and added at 500,000 cells per well to very low adsorption round-bottom 96-well plates (Corning, catalog number: 7007). According to the experimental design, experimental antibodies such as Dupilumab (Regeneron, batch number: 7L615F) or isotype control human IgG4 were added to the cells, and the plates were pre-incubated for 30 min. After 30 min, human IL-4 (peprotech, catalog number: 200-04) or human IL-13 (Sino Biological, catalog number: 10369-HNAC-20) was added, and the plates were incubated for 2 days. Two days later, PBMCs from each group were transferred to 96-well flow cytometry plates and washed once with 1% PBSA (i.e., PBS + 1% BSA). Mouse IgG Isotype Control (Thermofisher, catalog number: 10400C, diluted 20-fold with 1% PBSA) was added, and the plates were incubated on ice for 20 min. After washing once with an appropriate amount of 1% PBSA, FITC anti-human CD3 Antibody (Biolegend, catalog number: 344804, 1:100 dilution) and Brilliant Violet 421 were added. TM The secondary antibody mixture of anti-human CD19 Antibody (Biolegend, catalog number: 302234, 1:100 dilution) and PE anti-human CD23 Antibody (Biolegend, catalog number: 338508, 1:50 dilution) was incubated on ice in the dark for 30 min. After washing once with 1% PBSA, the sample was analyzed.
[0942] The test results are shown in Figures 13A and 13B.
[0943] The results showed that human IL-4 and human IL-13 could upregulate the expression level of CD23 on the surface of B cells in human PBMCs. Dupilumab, 14A10H49L25, L4RT04 and L4RT04 (LS) could specifically bind to human IL-4RA, thereby effectively blocking the upregulation of CD23 expression level on the surface of B cells by IL-4 and IL-13.

The final concentrations of the experimental antibody were 100 nM, 10 nM, and 1 nM, the final concentration of the isotype control antibody hIgG1 was 100 nM, and the final concentration of human IL-4 was 5 ng / mL.
[0946] HUVEC cells (Allcells, catalog number: H-001F-C) were routinely collected and resuspended in endothelial cell complete medium (Allcells, catalog number: H-004). 20,000 cells / well were seeded into 96-well plates and incubated at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 2 hours until cell adhesion. Antibodies such as Dupilumab (Regeneron, batch number: 7L615F) were diluted with endothelial cell complete medium and added to the corresponding wells, then incubated for 30 minutes. Human IL-4 (Peprotech, catalog number: 200-04) diluted with endothelial cell complete medium was added, and the plates were incubated for 3 days. The cell supernatant was collected, and CCL26 levels were measured according to the Human CCL26 / Eotaxin-3 Quantikine ELISA Kit (R&D, catalog number: DCC260B) instructions.
[0947] The experimental results are shown in Figure 14. IL-4 can stimulate HUVEC cells to secrete CCL26. Under the same experimental conditions, L4RT04, L4RT04(LS), 14A10H49L25, and Dupilumab can all significantly inhibit IL-4-induced CCL26 secretion from HUVEC cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, the inhibitory activity of L4RT04 and L4RT04(LS) is stronger than that of 14A10H49L25 and Dupilumab.
