Solution Overview

Problem

Current anti-PD-L1 antibodies face challenges in achieving high specificity, affinity, and stability, limiting their effectiveness in blocking the PD-L1/PD-1 signal pathway for treating tumors and viral infections.

Innovation Solution

Development of an anti-human PD-L1 humanized monoclonal antibody with specific sequences for the heavy and light chains (SEQ ID NO: 10 and 26) that enhances T-cell activation and inhibits tumor growth by specifically binding to PD-L1, using a combination of CDR-grafting and phage display to achieve high affinity and stability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If current anti-PD-L1 antibodies are used, then the PD-L1/PD-1 signal pathway can be blocked, but the specificity, affinity, and stability are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovespecificityVSAvoideffectiveness in blocking PD-L1/PD-1 pathway
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the antibody structure through humanization - changing the framework regions from murine to human sequences while preserving the CDR regions. This structural parameter change improves specificity and reduces immunogenicity, resolving the contradiction between maintaining blocking effectiveness and improving reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a humanized copy of the murine antibody by transferring the CDR sequences into a human antibody framework. This copying approach with selective modification preserves the antigen-binding capability (effectiveness) while improving specificity and reducing immune response against the therapeutic antibody.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Reliability

If current anti-PD-L1 antibodies are used, then the PD-L1/PD-1 signal pathway can be blocked, but the affinity and stability are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovestabilityVSAvoideffectiveness in blocking PD-L1/PD-1 pathway
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the stability parameters by humanizing the antibody framework regions, which improves the structural stability and reduces aggregation. The CDR regions are preserved to maintain high affinity binding to PD-L1, thus resolving the contradiction between stability and effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If humanized monoclonal antibody is developed with specific sequences, then specificity and stability are enhanced, but the complexity of development increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovespecificityVSAvoidcomplexity of antibody development
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the antibody into functional regions - CDR regions for antigen binding and framework regions for structural stability. This segmentation allows independent optimization of each region, improving specificity through careful CDR selection while using standardized human frameworks to reduce development complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses universal human antibody frameworks that can accommodate different CDR sequences. This multi-functionality approach allows the same human framework structure to support various antigen-specific CDRs, reducing the overall complexity of humanized antibody development while maintaining high specificity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
