Solution Overview

Problem

Existing anti-PD-L1 antibodies have low affinity and specificity for binding to PD-L1, which hinders their ability to effectively block the interaction between PD-L1 and PD-1, limiting their efficacy in tumor immunotherapy.

Innovation Solution

Development of an anti-PD-L1 antibody with specific Complementarity Determining Regions (CDRs) that demonstrate high affinity and specificity for binding to PD-L1, capable of blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 interaction and stimulating cytokine production.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing anti-PD-L1 antibodies are used, then the interaction between PD-L1 and PD-1 can be blocked, but the binding affinity and specificity are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveblocking capabilityVSAvoidbinding affinity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by optimizing the antibody's Complementarity Determining Regions (CDRs) to achieve high binding affinity (KD < 10^-9 M) and specificity for PD-L1. The antibody includes specific CDR sequences (HCDR1: SEQ ID NO:37, HCDR2: SEQ ID NO:38, HCDR3: SEQ ID NO:39, LCDR1: SEQ ID NO:40, LCDR2: SEQ ID NO:41, LCDR3: SEQ ID NO:42) that were engineered to enhance binding characteristics while maintaining blocking capability.

2Reliability

If existing anti-PD-L1 antibodies are used, then the interaction between PD-L1 and PD-1 can be blocked, but the binding specificity is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveblocking capabilityVSAvoidbinding specificity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by designing the antibody with specific CDR regions that provide both high affinity and specificity for PD-L1. The CDRs are engineered to recognize specific epitopes on PD-L1, ensuring the antibody binds selectively to PD-L1 rather than cross-reacting with other proteins, thereby achieving both high blocking capability and specificity.
