Solution Overview

Problem

Monoclonal antibodies targeting CD19, typically made from mouse cells, are often recognized as foreign by the human immune system, leading to an immune response and reduced efficacy over time due to immune system destruction.

Innovation Solution

Development of humanized antibodies or fragments with specific heavy and light chain variable region sequences (e.g., SEQ ID NO: 27 and SEQ ID NO: 34, 35, 36) that bind to human CD19, conjugated to cytotoxic agents or co-stimulatory sequences, produced in cells like HEK293, and used in conjunction with chimeric antigen receptor-modified cells for targeted therapy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If monoclonal antibodies are made from mouse cells, then they can effectively bind to CD19, but the human immune system recognizes them as foreign and mounts an immune response against them

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebinding efficacyVSAvoidimmune response
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by humanizing only the variable regions (VH and VL) of the antibody that directly contact the antigen, while keeping the constant regions murine or human. This selective humanization of specific regions maintains antigen binding capability while reducing immunogenicity in the portions of the antibody that circulate in the human body.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates composite antibody structures by combining human and murine sequences. The variable regions are constructed as chimeric molecules with human framework regions and murine complementarity-determining regions, or fully human sequences, while constant regions may be from either species. This composite structure achieves both binding efficacy and reduced immunogenicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Productivity

If monoclonal antibodies are made from mouse cells, then they can be produced effectively, but the human immune system destroys these antibodies before the desired treatment takes place after the first time

Engineering Contradiction:

3Reliability

If humanized antibodies with specific HVR and LVR sequences are developed, then immune rejection is reduced and therapeutic efficacy is maintained, but the complexity of antibody design and production increases
