Description

抗CD79B抗体、其抗原结合片段及其医药用途
本申请要求2019年1月28日提交的中国专利申请《抗CD79B抗体、其抗原结合片段及其医药用途》(申请号201910083330.4)的优先权,通过引用并入此处。
技术领域
本申请涉及一种抗人CD79B抗体及抗原结合片段,包含所述抗CD79B抗体CDR区的嵌合抗体、人源化抗体,以及包含人抗CD79B抗体或其抗原结合片段的药物组合物,以及其作为抗癌药物,特别是治疗淋巴瘤(DLBCL)药物的用途。
背景技术
恶性肿瘤(癌症)是全球第二位死因,仅排在心脏病之后。淋巴瘤是起源于淋巴造血***的恶性肿瘤,是全世界最常见的血液肿瘤。近年来中国淋巴瘤发病率呈上升趋势,目前发病率约为每10万人6.68例。
淋巴瘤分为非霍奇金淋巴瘤(non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma,NHL)和霍奇金淋巴瘤(Hodgkin’s lymphoma,HL)两类。非霍奇金淋巴瘤是一组具有较强异质性的淋巴细胞异常增殖性疾病的总称,其发病率远高于霍奇金淋巴瘤,约占淋巴瘤的80%以上。其中弥漫大B细胞淋巴瘤(DLBCL)是成人最常见的淋巴瘤类型,约占所有非霍奇金淋巴瘤的32.5%;在亚洲人群中,这一比例更高,接近40%。好发于老年患者,中位发病年龄为60-64岁,男性患者略多于女性患者。
目前,弥漫大B细胞淋巴瘤(DLBCL)的一线标准方案为利妥昔单抗联合化疗方案(R-CHOP)。在利妥昔单抗上市之前,以蒽环类为基础的CHOP(环磷酰胺、多柔比星、长春新碱、***)方案是DLBCL的一线标准治疗方案。R-CHOP治疗方案使得DLBCL患者的长期存活率得到明显改善,临床试验结果显示:相比于传统的CHOP方案,R-CHOP方案治疗DLBCL能显著延长患者的中位总生存时间达4.9年,中位无病生存时间超过6.6年,5年无疾病进展生存率从30%提高至54%。但仍有10%至15%的难治患者没有反应,并有20%至30%的患者出现复发。而且不是所有DLBCL患者都适合R-CHOP方案,如80岁以上的高龄患者,他们的体能不允许进行标准的R-CHOP治疗;又如,对于侵袭性更高的淋巴瘤类型以及复发性淋巴瘤,R-CHOP方案可能无效。因此,开发新一代副作用更小的免疫疗法对于DLBCL的治疗是极其必要的。
根据淋巴细胞的起源分类,弥漫大B细胞淋巴瘤(DLBCL)属于B细胞淋巴瘤。B细胞抗原受体(B cell receptor,BCR)复合物是B细胞表面最主要的分子。BCR复合物由识别和结合抗原的膜免疫球蛋白(mIg)和传递抗原刺激信号的Igα(CD79a)和Igβ(CD79B)异源二聚体组成。Igα和Igβ分别为47kDa和37kDa糖蛋白,属于免疫球蛋白超家族成员,编码Igα和Igβ的基因分别称为mb-1和B29。 Igα和Igβ胞膜外区氨基端处均有一个Ig样结构域。Igα和Igβ均可作为蛋白酪氨酸激酶的底物,参与BCR信号转导。BCR广泛表达于B细胞淋巴瘤以及正常B细胞上。鉴于靶向CD20的利妥昔单抗在临床上所取得的成功以及可靠的安全性,开发靶向BCR的治疗方法也应该具有良好的疗效和安全性。
针对仍未被满足的与CD79B相关的医疗需求,目前已有包括罗氏制药的多家国际制药公司在积极研发针对CD79B抗体和相关产品。相关专利如US9085630、WO2009012256、WO2009012268、WO2009099728、WO2014011519、WO2014011521、WO2016090210、WO2016205176、WO2016040856、WO2016021621、WO2017009474、WO2014177615等。
基于CD79B的表达,生成针对CD79B抗原的治疗性抗体是有益的。本领域对于开发有效的抗人CD79B抗体,用于造血***肿瘤治疗或延缓进展,仍有未满足的需求。

具体实施方式
发明详述
术语
为了更容易理解本公开,以下具体定义了某些技术和科学术语。除显而易见在本文件中的它处另有明确定义,否则本文使用的所有其它技术和科学术语都具有本公开所属领域的一般技术人员通常理解的含义。
本公开所用氨基酸三字母代码和单字母代码如J.Biol.Chem,243,p3558(1968)中所述。
“CD79B”指任何脊椎动物来源(包括哺乳动物,诸如灵长类(例如人、猕猴(cyno))和啮齿类(例如小鼠和大鼠))的任何CD79B。术语“CD79B”涵盖“全长”、未加工的CD79B以及自细胞中加工得到的任何形式的CD79B。该术语还涵盖天然存在的CD79B变体,例如剪接变体、等位变体和同种型(isoform)。本文所述CD79B多肽可以从多种来源分离,诸如人组织类型或其它来源,或者通过重组或合成方法制备。
本公开所述的术语“抗体”指免疫球蛋白,是由两条相同的重链和两条相同的轻链通过链间二硫键连接而成的四肽链结构。免疫球蛋白重链恒定区的氨基酸组成和排列顺序不同,故其抗原性也不同。据此,可将免疫球蛋白分为五类,或称为免疫球蛋白的同种型,即IgM、IgD、IgG、IgA和IgE,其相应的重链分别为μ链、δ链、γ链、α链和ε链。同一类Ig根据其铰链区氨基酸组成和重链二硫键的数目和位置的差别,又可分为不同的亚类,如IgG可分为IgG1、IgG2、IgG3、IgG4。轻链通过恒定区的不同分为κ链或λ链。五类Ig中第每类Ig都可以有κ链或λ链。抗体重链和轻链靠近N端的约110个氨基酸的序列变化很大,为可变区(V区);靠近C端的其余氨基酸序列相对稳定,为恒定区(C区)。可变区包括3个高变区 (HVR)和4个序列相对保守的骨架区(FR)。3个高变区决定抗体的特异性,又称为互补性决定区(CDR)。每条轻链可变区(VL)和重链可变区(VH)由3个CDR区4个FR区组成,从氨基端到羧基端依次排列的顺序为:FR1,CDR1,FR2,CDR2,FR3,CDR3,FR4。轻链的3个CDR区指LCDR1,LCDR2,和LCDR3;重链的3个CDR区指HCDR1,HCDR2和HCDR3。所述的抗体或抗原结合片段的VL区和VH区的CDR氨基酸残基在数量和位置符合已知的Chothia(ABM)编号规则。
术语“人抗体”或“重组人抗体”包括通过重组方法制备、表达、创建或分离的人抗体,所涉及的技术和方法在本领域中是熟知的,诸如:
(1)从人免疫球蛋白基因的转基因、转染色体动物(例如小鼠)或由其制备的杂交瘤中分离的抗体;
(2)从经转化以表达抗体的宿主细胞如转染瘤中分离的抗体;
(3)从重组组合人抗体文库中分离的抗体;以及
(4)通过将人免疫球蛋白基因序列剪接到其他DNA序列等方法制备、表达、创建或分离的抗体。
此类重组人抗体包含可变区和恒定区,这些区域利用特定的由种系基因编码的人种系免疫球蛋白序列,但也包括随后诸如在抗体成熟过程中发生的重排和突变。
术语“鼠源抗体”在本公开中为根据本领域知识和技能制备的对人CD79B或其表位的单克隆抗体。制备时用CD79B抗原(或其表位)注射试验对象,然后分离表达具有所需序列或功能特性的抗体的杂交瘤。在本公开一个具体的实施方案中,所述的鼠源CD79B抗体或其抗原结合片段,可进一步包含鼠源κ、λ链或其变体的轻链恒定区,或进一步包含鼠源IgG1、IgG2、IgG3或IgG4或其变体的重链恒定区。
术语“人抗体”包括具有人种系免疫球蛋白序列的可变和恒定区的抗体。本公开的人抗体可包括不由人种系免疫球蛋白序列编码的氨基酸残基(如通过体外随机或位点特异性诱变或通过体内体细胞突变所引入的突变)。然而,术语“人抗体”不包括这样的抗体,即其中已将衍生自另一种哺乳动物物种(诸如小鼠)种系的CDR序列移植到人骨架序列上(即“人源化抗体”)。
术语“人源化抗体(humanized antibody)”,也称为CDR移植抗体(CDR-grafted antibody),是指将非人物种的CDR序列移植到人的抗体可变区框架中产生的抗体。可以克服嵌合抗体由于携带大量非人物种蛋白成分,从而诱导的强烈的免疫应答反应。为避免在免疫原性下降的同时引起活性的下降,可对所述的人抗体可变区可进行最少反向突变,以保持活性。
术语“嵌合抗体(chimeric antibody)”,是将第一物种抗体的可变区与第二物种抗体的恒定区融合而成的抗体,可以减轻第一物种抗体诱发的免疫应答反应。 建立嵌合抗体,要选建立分泌第一物种特异性单抗的杂交瘤,然后从第一物种(例如小鼠)杂交瘤细胞中克隆可变区基因,再根据需要克隆第二物种(如人)抗体的恒定区基因,将第一物种可变区基因与第二物种恒定区基因连接成嵌合基因后***载体中,最后在真核工业***或原核工业***中表达嵌合抗体分子。第二物种(例如人)抗体的恒定区可选自人源IgG1、IgG2、IgG3或IgG4或其变体的重链恒定区,优选包含人源IgG2或IgG4重链恒定区,或者使用氨基酸突变后无ADCC(antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity,抗体依赖的细胞介导的细胞毒作用)毒性的IgG1。
“抗原结合片段”,指保留了完整抗体的抗原结合活性的任何片段。具体而言,可以提及但不限于Fab片段,Fab’片段,F(ab’)2片段,以及与人CD79B结合的Fv片段sFv片段。Fv片段含有抗体重链可变区和轻链可变区,但没有恒定区,并具有全部抗原结合位点的最小抗体片段。一般地,Fv抗体还包含在VH和VL结构域之间的多肽接头,且能够形成抗原结合所需的结构。也可以用不同的连接物将两个抗体可变区连接成一条多肽链,称为单链抗体(single chain antibody)或单链Fv(sFv)。
本公开的术语“与CD79B结合”,指能与CD79B或其表位相互作用。所述CD79B或其表位可以是人源的。本公开的术语“抗原结合位点”指抗原上线性的或不连续的,由本公开抗体或抗原结合片段识别的线性位点或三维空间位点。
术语“表位”是指抗原上与免疫球蛋白或抗体特异性结合的位点。表位可以由相邻的氨基酸、或通过蛋白质的三级折叠而并列的不相邻的氨基酸形成。由相邻的氨基酸形成的表位通常在暴露于变性溶剂后保持,而通过三级折叠形成的表位通常在变性溶剂处理后丧失。表位通常以独特的空间构象包括至少3-15个氨基酸。确定什么表位由给定的抗体结合的方法在本领域中是熟知的,包括免疫印迹和免疫沉淀检测分析等。确定表位的空间构象的方法包括本领域中的技术和本文所述的技术,例如X射线晶体分析法和二维核磁共振等。
“特异性结合”、“选择性结合”是指抗体与预定的抗原上的表位结合。通常,当使用重组人CD79B或其表位作为分析物并使用抗体作为配体,在仪器中通过表面等离子体共振(SPR)技术测定时,抗体以大约低于10 -7M或甚至更小的平衡解离常数(K D)与预定的抗原或其表位结合,并且其与预定抗原或其表位结合的亲和力(affinity)是其与预定抗原(或其表位)或紧密相关的抗原之外的非特异性抗原(如BSA等)结合的亲和力的至少两倍。
“交叉反应”是指本公开的抗体与来自不同物种的CD79B结合的能力。例如,结合人CD79B的本公开的抗体也可以结合另一物种的CD79B。交叉反应性是通过在结合测定(例如SPR和ELISA)中检测与纯化抗原的特异性反应性,或与生理表达CD79B的细胞的结合或功能性相互作用来测量。确定交叉反应性的方法包括如本文所述的标准结合测定,例如表面等离子体共振分析,或流式细胞术。
“抑制”或“阻断”可互换使用,并涵盖部分和完全抑制/阻断这两者。对CD79B的抑制/阻断优选地降低或改变无抑制或阻断的情况下发生CD79B结合时出现活性的正常水平或类型。抑制和阻断也旨在包括与抗CD79B抗体接触时,与未与抗CD79B抗体接触的CD79B相比,任何可测量的CD79B结合亲和力降低。
“抑制生长”(例如涉及细胞)旨在包括细胞生长任何可测量的降低。
生产和纯化抗体或抗原结合片段的方法在现有技术中熟知和能找到,如冷泉港的抗体实验技术指南(5-8章和15章)。如,可以用人CD79B或其片段免疫小鼠,所得到的抗体能被复性、纯化,并且可以用常规的方法进行氨基酸测序。抗原结合片段同样可以用常规方法制备。发明所述的抗体或抗原结合片段用基因工程方法在非人源的CDR区加上一个或多个人FR区。人FR种系序列可以从ImMunoGeneTics(IMGT)的网站http://imgt.cines.fr得到,或者从免疫球蛋白杂志,2001ISBN012441351上获得。
本公开工程化的抗体或抗原结合片段可用常规方法制备和纯化。比如,编码重链(SEQ ID NO:20)和轻链(SEQ ID NO:21)的cDNA序列,可以克隆并重组至GS表达载体。重组的免疫球蛋白表达载体可以稳定地转染CHO细胞。作为一种更推荐的现有技术,哺乳动物类表达***会导致抗体的糖基化,特别是在Fc区的高度保守N端。通过表达与人源抗原特异性结合的抗体得到稳定的克隆。阳性的克隆在生物反应器的无血清培养基中扩大培养以生产抗体。分泌了抗体的培养液可以用常规技术纯化、收集。抗体可用常规方法进行过滤浓缩。可溶的混合物和多聚体,也可以用常规方法去除,比如分子筛,离子交换。得到的产物需立即冷冻,如-70℃,或者冻干。
本公开的抗体指单克隆抗体。本公开所述的单克隆抗体(mAb),指由单一的克隆细胞株得到的抗体,所述的细胞株不限于真核的、原核的或噬菌体的克隆细胞株。单克隆抗体或抗原结合片段可以用如杂交瘤技术、重组技术、噬菌体展示技术,合成技术(如CDR-嫁接),或其它现有技术进行重组得到。
可使用本领域技术人员已知的常规技术,就与相同表位的结合竞争性筛选抗体。例如,可进行竞争和交叉竞争研究,以获得彼此竞争或交叉竞争与抗原结合的抗体。基于它们的交叉竞争来获得结合相同表位的抗体的高通量方法描述于国际专利公开WO03/48731中。因此,可使用本领域技术人员已知的常规技术,获得与本公开的抗体分子竞争结合CD79B上的相同表位的抗体及其抗原结合片段。
“给予”、“施用”和“处理”当应用于动物、人、实验受试者、细胞、组织、器官或生物流体时,是指外源性药物、治疗剂、诊断剂、组合物与动物、人、受试者、细胞、组织、器官或生物流体的接触。“给予”、“施用”和“处理”可以指例如治疗、药物代谢动力学、诊断、研究和实验方法。细胞的处理包括试剂与细胞的接触,以及试剂与流体的接触,其中所述流体与细胞接触。“给予”、“施用”和“处理”还意指通过试剂、诊断、结合组合物或通过另一种细胞体外和离体处理例如细胞。“处 理”当应用于人、兽医学或研究受试者时,是指治疗处理、预防性处理、或预防性措施、研究和诊断应用。
“治疗”意指给予受试者内用或外用治疗剂,诸如包含本公开的任一种抗体或其抗原结合片段或其偶联物的组合物,所述受试者已经患有、疑似患有、倾向于患有一种或多种疾病或其症状,而已知所述治疗剂对这些症状具有治疗作用。通常,在受治疗受试者或群体中以有效缓解一种或多种疾病症状的量给予治疗剂,无论是通过诱导这类症状退化还是抑制这类症状发展到任何临床右测量的程度。有效缓解任何具体疾病症状的治疗剂的量(也称作“治疗有效量”)可根据多种因素变化,例如受试者的疾病状态、年龄和体重,以及药物在受试者产生需要疗效的能力。通过医生或其它专业卫生保健人士通常用于评价该症状的严重性或进展状况的任何临床检测方法,可评价疾病症状是否已被减轻。尽本公开的实施方案(例如治疗方法或制品)在缓解某个受试者中目标疾病症状方面可能无效,但是根据本领域已知的任何统计学检验方法如Student t检验、卡方检验、依据Mann和Whitney的U检验、Kruskal-Wallis检验(H检验)、Jonckheere-Terpstra检验和Wilcoxon检验确定,其在统计学显著数目的受试者中应当减轻目标疾病症状。
“有效量”包含足以改善或预防医学病症的症状或病症的量。有效量还意指足以允许或促进诊断的量。用于特定受试者或兽医学受试者的有效量可依据以下因素而变化:如待治疗的病症、受试者的总体健康情况、给药的方法途径和剂量以及副作用严重性。有效量可以是避免显著副作用或毒性作用的最大剂量或给药方案。
“同一性”是指两个多核苷酸序列之间或两个多肽之间的序列相似性。当两个比较序列中的位置均被相同碱基或氨基酸单体亚基占据时,例如如果两个DNA分子的每一个位置都被腺嘌呤占据时,那么所述分子在该位置是同源的。两个序列之间的同一性百分率是两个序列共有的匹配或同源位置数除以比较的位置数×100%的函数。例如,在序列最佳比对时,如果两个序列中的10个位置有6个匹配或同源,那么两个序列为60%同源。一般而言,当比对两个序列而得到最大的同一性百分率时进行比较。
本文使用的表述“细胞”、“细胞系”和“细胞培养物”可互换使用,并且所有这类名称都包括其后代。因此,术语“转化体”和“转化细胞”包括原代受试细胞和由其衍生的培养物,而不考虑转移数目。还应当理解的是,由于故意或非有意的突变,所有后代在DNA含量方面不可能精确相同。包括具有与最初转化细胞中筛选的相同的功能或生物学活性的突变后代。在意指不同名称的情况下,其由上下文清楚可见。
“任选”或“任选地”意味着随后所描述地事件或环境可以但不必发生,该说明包括该事件或环境发生或不发生地场合。例如,“任选包含1-3个抗体重链可变区”意味着特定序列的抗体重链可变区可以但不必须存在。
“药物组合物”表示含有一种或多种本文所述抗体或抗原结合片段或偶联物、或 其生理学上/可药用的盐或前体药物与其他化学组分的混合物,以及其他组分例如生理学/可药用的载体和赋形剂。药物组合物的目的是促进对生物体的给药,利于活性成分的吸收进而发挥生物活性。

实施例2.小鼠单克隆抗体的制备
1、小鼠免疫和血清效价检测
以人CD79B细胞外区域(ECD)和人Fc区域融合蛋白(人CD79B ECD-hFc)以及人CD79B细胞外区域(ECD)和His标签的融合蛋白(人CD79B ECD-His)分别作为免疫原,通过腹腔注射法对Balb/c和SJL小鼠进行免疫,刺激小鼠体内产生针对人CD79B细胞外区域(ECD)的抗体。
实验步骤如下:
1)腹腔注射免疫法。根据免疫程序计算出该次免疫所需的抗原量。蛋白抗原按照要求用PBS稀释抗原到相应浓度,随后进行抗原的乳化。将乳化好的抗原和佐剂混合物转移到2.0mL无菌注射器中,注意排空气泡。右手抓住小鼠尾巴,左手的大拇指和食指轻轻抓住小鼠的头颈部皮肤,腹腔向上,用75%酒精棉球擦拭小鼠右侧腹部注射部位。将事先吸好抗原药物的注射器针尖斜面向上,小鼠头部向下,平行刺入皮内后,注射器与腹腔呈45度角刺入小鼠腹腔,缓慢注入抗原和佐剂混合物,免疫完成后进行至少2h观察。
2)小鼠血清的收集。将每只小鼠对应的血清管号做好标记,检查小鼠耳钉号,单手抓取小鼠,通过小鼠面部颌下静脉采取大约100μl全血,将收集的全血样品室温静置大约2h后离心收集离心管上部血清。一周内可将血清存放于4℃冰箱,用于抗体效价等相关实验检测。若长期保存血清可置于-80℃冰箱,避免反复冻融。
3)免疫小鼠ELISA血清效价测定。实验开始前将96孔板做好相应的标记,以1μg/mL抗原浓度,每孔50μl,4℃冰箱过夜包被。次日,将前天包被好的抗原板取出,洗板机清洗一次(清洗液:1×PBST)。清洗后以1×PBST配置的1%BSA封闭液37℃封闭1小时。1×PBST清洗液洗板3次后,加入不同稀释浓度的待检血清37℃温箱,孵育1小时。1×PBST清洗液洗板3次后,加入100μl 1∶5000稀释的羊抗鼠二抗,37℃温箱孵育0.5小时洗板后,取TMB显色液A液和B液1∶1比例混合后显色。15分钟用1N盐酸终止显色反应。在Spectra Max M5多功能读板机上,检测450nm的荧光值。

2、杂交瘤制备和抗体筛选
细胞融合是在自发或人工诱导下,促使小鼠的淋巴细胞与骨髓瘤细胞SP2/0(ATCC,CCL-121 TM)融合成杂交瘤细胞,杂交瘤细胞既具有抗体分泌功能又能无限增殖。利用电融合方法对免疫组小鼠的淋巴细胞和骨髓瘤细胞进行融合,用于后续抗体筛选。
1)电融合实验。融合前一周将SP2/0细胞于10%DMEM培养基中进行扩大培养。将已处死的小鼠于生物安全柜中摘取脾脏和***于培养皿中进行冲洗研磨,收集淋巴细胞。将SP2/0和淋巴细胞按比例混合,启动电融合仪,设置程序,进行融合。融合后细胞铺于96孔板中,37℃,5%CO 2培养箱中培养,每天观察细胞状态,融合后5天统计细胞融合率。融合后9-14天对融合的杂交瘤细胞进行筛选,挑选阳性孔细胞于24孔板中扩大培养。
2)有限稀释法进行亚克隆。将需要亚克隆的细胞株自24孔培养孔中重悬起来,进行计数。稀释每株细胞株的细胞浓度至5-10个/mL,将稀释好的细胞悬液加入15cm一次性培养皿中,于96孔培养板中每孔加0.2mL,每孔含细胞为1-2个。将铺好细胞的96孔板放进37℃,5%CO 2培养箱中培养。7-10天后根据细胞的生长情况对亚克隆板进行检测筛选,并挑选阳性克隆至24孔进行进一步阳性确认。
3)ELISA筛选。实验开始前将96孔板做好相应的标记,以1μg/mL抗原浓度,每孔50μl,4℃冰箱过夜包被。次日,将前天包被好的抗原板取出,洗板机清洗一次(清洗液:1x PBST)。清洗后以1×PBST配置的1%BSA封闭液37℃封闭1小时。1×PBST清洗液洗板3次后,加入50μl待检细胞上清37℃温箱,孵育1小时。1×PBST清洗液洗板3次后,加入100μl 1∶5000稀释的羊抗鼠二抗,37℃温箱孵育0.5小时洗板后,取TMB显色液A液和B液1∶1比例混合后显色。15分钟用1N盐酸终止显色反应。在Spectra Max M5多功能读板机上,检测450nm的荧光值。
4)FACS筛选。DOHH2细胞悬液离心后以含0.1%BSA的PBS重悬细胞后计数,加入待测细胞上清,室温孵育60分钟后清洗细胞三次后加入抗小鼠IgG Fc-FITC二抗,避光室温孵育30分钟后清洗细胞三次,用含0.1%BSA的PBS轻 轻重悬细胞,上机检测。
5)杂交瘤阳性克隆鉴定。通过对小鼠脾细胞的融合和亚克隆筛选后,我们获得多个针对人CD79B抗原的特异性抗体,对其中ELISA和FACS结合力最好的17株杂交瘤进行抗体生产纯化。抗人CD79B杂交瘤阳性克隆细胞培养上清ELISA检测结果见表1。抗人CD79B杂交瘤阳性克隆细胞培养上清FACS检测结果见表2。均使用mIgG作为阴性对照。

3、小鼠单克隆抗体的生产、纯化及鉴定
1)小鼠单克隆抗体生产和纯化。显微镜下观察需要抗体生产的杂交瘤细胞,长至≥70%以上且细胞状态良好,收集细胞并用Countstar IC1000型细胞计数仪进行计数。用配制好的培养基将细胞浓度调至1×10 5至5×10 5个/mL,转移至Roller Bottle。将转好细胞的Roller Bottle送到滚瓶培养箱中37℃培养10-15天,每天观察细胞生长状况,待培养液变橙黄且透明,取出待纯化。细胞上清通过Protein A柱子进行抗体纯化,按照常规方法操作。
2)抗人CD79B小鼠单克隆抗体ELISA检测。实验开始前将96孔板做好相应的标记,以1μg/mL抗原浓度,每孔50μl,4℃冰箱过夜包被。次日,将前天包被好的抗原板取出,洗板机清洗一次(清洗液:1×PBST)。清洗后以1×PBST配置的1%BSA封闭液37℃封闭1小时。1×PBST清洗液洗板3次后,加入50μl按照100nM,1∶10稀释过的抗体,放入37℃温箱,孵育1小时。×PBST清洗液洗板3次后,加入100μl 1∶5000稀释的羊抗鼠二抗,37℃温箱孵育0.5小时。洗板后,取TMB显色液A液和B液1∶1比例混合后显色。15分钟用1N盐酸终止显色反应。在Spectra Max M5多功能读板机上,检测450nm的荧光值。其中,有三株抗人CD79B小鼠单克隆抗体的ELISA结合力最强,包括mAb015、mAb016和mAb017(具体数据见图7)。其中hIgG1为阴性对照抗体,SN8为阳性对照抗体。SN8是罗氏制药开发的抗体偶联药物波妥珠单抗维多丁(polatuzumab vedotin)中所使用的抗体(序列参考序列来源:US20170362318A)。目前波妥珠单抗维多丁已被FDA批准上市。从结果可以看出,在ELISA实验中,本公开优选出的三株抗人CD79B小鼠单克隆抗体mAb015、mAb016和mAb017的结合力与SN8类似。
3)抗人CD79B小鼠单克隆抗体FACS检测。DOHH2细胞悬液离心后以含0.1%BSA的PBS重悬细胞后计数,加入100μl按照100nM,1∶10稀释过的抗体,室温孵育1小时。清洗细胞三次后加入抗小鼠IgG Fc-FITC二抗,避光室温孵育30分钟后清洗细胞三次,用含0.1%BSA的PBS轻轻重悬细胞,上机检测。其中,有3个抗人CD79B小鼠单克隆抗体的FACS结合力最强,包括mAb015、mAb016和mAb017(具体数据见图8)。其中hIgG1为阴性对照抗体,SN8为阳性对照抗体。从结果可知,在FACS实验中,本公开优选出的三株抗人CD79B小鼠单克隆抗体mAb015、mAb016和mAb017的结合力均优于SN8。
4)抗人CD79B小鼠单克隆抗体交叉反应性FACS检测。采用瞬时转染的方 法得到293F-cynoCD79B细胞,细胞悬液离心后以含0.1%BSA的PBS重悬细胞后计数,加入100μl抗体,浓度分别为10μg/mL和1μg/mL。室温孵育1小时。清洗细胞三次后加入抗小鼠IgG Fc-FITC二抗,避光室温孵育30分钟后清洗细胞三次,用含0.1%BSA的PBS轻轻重悬细胞,上机检测。抗人CD79B小鼠单克隆抗体交叉反应性FACS检测结果见图9。其中mIgG为阴性对照抗体,抗-cyno HR008为抗猴CD79B小鼠单克隆抗体,其抗体序列来源于专利WO2009012268A1中的抗猴CD79B小鼠单克隆抗体(克隆号10D10)。由结果可知,本公开所筛选到的所有抗人CD79B小鼠单克隆抗体均不识别猴CD79B。
5)抗人CD79B小鼠单克隆抗体SPR检测。采用表面等离子共振技术(surface plasmon resonance,SPR)检测抗人CD79B抗体与其抗原人CD79B-His之间的亲和力。将抗原人CD79B-His蛋白固定化至CM5芯片。偶联水平设定在100RU。运行缓冲液为HBS-EP+(10mM HEPES、150mM NaCl、3mM EDTA、0.05%表面活性剂P20)。将稀释好的抗体在30μl/min的流速下流过实验通道和对比通道3分钟,解离5分钟。然后再生缓冲液(10mM甘氨酸缓冲液。pH1.5)在30μl/min的流速下运行30秒。数据用Biacore 8K evaluation software软件进行分析。
实施例3.小鼠单克隆抗体可变区氨基酸序列的测定
将实施例2中得到的高亲和力的杂交瘤单克隆细胞株进行可变区氨基酸序列测定,然后重组表达出人鼠嵌合抗体(chimeric antibody,cAb),再进行进一步的抗体鉴定。用逆转录PCR扩增抗体基因的重链和轻链可变区,连接到载体测序得到单克隆抗体轻重链序列。首先采用RNA纯化试剂盒(Qiagen公司,货号74134,步骤见此说明书)提取实施例2中活性好的单细胞株的细胞总RNA。然后使用Invitrogen公司的货号为18080-051cDNA合成试剂盒制备cDNA单链,即Oligo-dT引物cDNA反转录。以此为模版,采用PCR方法合成抗体轻重链可变区序列,PCR产物克隆到TA载体pMD-18T,然后送去测序。将得到的抗体轻重链序列分别克隆到表达载体(方法见实施例1),表达重组单克隆抗体,验证活性(方法见实施例2)后,进行人源化工作。
本公开中抗人CD79B抗体的VH/VL CDR的氨基酸残基由Chothia编号***确定并注释。

实施例4.抗人CD79B抗体的人源化
将实施例3得到的鼠源抗CD79B单克隆抗体轻重链序列在抗体数据库里进行同源性比较后,建立人源化抗体模型。根据模型选择回复突变筛选最优的人源化抗CD79B单克隆抗体为优选分子。该方法从已经发表的小鼠Fab晶体结构模型数据库(比如PDB数据库)中查找与所得鼠源候选分子同源性相似的晶体结构开始,挑取高分辨率(比如
Figure PCTCN2020073803-appb-000012
)的Fab晶体结构,建立小鼠Fab模型。将鼠源抗体轻重链序列和模型中的序列比对,保留和模型中和鼠源抗体序列一致的序列,得到鼠抗体的结构模型;其中不一致的氨基酸为可能的回复突变位点。用Swiss-pdb viewer软件运行鼠抗体结构模型,优化能量(最小化)。将模型中除CDR外的不 同氨基酸位点进行回复突变,将所得的突变抗体(人源化)和人源化之前抗体对比进行活性检测。保留活性好的人源化抗体。之后,对CDR区域优化,包括避免糖基化、脱酰胺化、氧化位点等。用基因克隆、重组表达的方法分别克隆、表达、纯化上述抗体,经SPR等检测,最终选出活性保持最好的人源化抗体hAb015和hAb017,具体数据见表4。人源化抗体hAb015和hAb017保持了跟小鼠单克隆抗体相似的亲和力和相关功能。

实施例5.抗CD79B抗体的内吞作用
为了检测本公开中的CD79B抗体结合人CD79B后,是否能够和人CD79B一起内吞到细胞内,用高表达人CD79B蛋白的DOHH-2细胞(DSMZ,ACC 47)进行细胞内吞实验以评估抗体的内吞能力。
DOHH-2细胞按照常规悬浮细胞的方法进行培养,完全培养基的成分为:RPMI 1640培养基(GIBCO,Cat No.:11835-030),加10%(v/v)胎牛血清(FBS)(GIBCO,CatNo.:10099-141)和青霉素/链霉素(GIBCO,Cat No.:15070-063)。
实验时4℃低温离心收集细胞,1000rpm,5分钟。将细胞重悬到10-15ml在冰上预冷的FACS缓冲液中。FACS缓冲液的成分为:磷酸盐缓冲液(PBS),pH7.4,加2%胎牛血清(FBS)。整个实验过程中,FACS缓冲液放在冰上预冷。细胞计数离心后以300,000细胞/孔加入96孔板中,离心弃去上清后加入Fc封闭液,12.5μg/ml(BD,Cat No.:564220),100μl/孔。在室温下封闭10分钟。然后加入20μg/ml的待测CD79B抗体至对应的孔中,4℃避光孵育1小时。用预冷的PBS缓冲液洗2遍以除去未结合的抗体。加入细胞完全培养基(具有10%胎牛血清的RPMI 1640培养基),在37℃,5%CO 2下孵育0小时、1小时、2小时、4小时。离心弃去上清后加入100μl/孔2%PFA缓冲液,重悬细胞后放置10分钟。然后用FACS缓冲液清洗3遍,然后加入100μl二抗溶液(荧光标记羊抗人二抗:1∶250稀释,浓度为2μg/ml,Biolegend,Cat#409304),在4℃避光孵育半小时。加入预冷的PBS缓冲液,4℃离心弃上清,重复三次。细胞重悬在FACS缓冲液中,200μl/孔,使用流式细胞仪(BD FACS Calibur)检测。
结果表明,在4℃孵育时,SN8、hAb015和hAb017这3个抗体均不能被DOHH-2细胞内吞。而在37℃孵育时,1小时后大部分抗体已经被DOHH-2细胞内吞,4小时后抗体内吞达到最大值。3个抗体均具有较好的内吞作用。
