Definitions

  • the present disclosure belongs to the field of biomedicine, and in particular relates to a multispecific antigen-binding protein, a preparation method and medical use thereof.
  • bispecific antibodies Since it can recognize different antigen molecules or recognize different epitopes of the same antigen molecule, bispecific antibodies have unique biological functions that monoclonal antibodies do not have, and are gradually recognized by the market. Although the related technology about bispecific antibodies has been developed for two decades, there are still many practical technical problems that restrict the production and development of bispecific antibodies. With the advancement of technology, new molecular formats and solutions for the transformation and production of bispecific antibodies emerge in an endless stream. Taking 1+1 asymmetric (Fab A+Fab B) double antibody as an example, in order to avoid light chain mismatch (the light chain against antigen A is paired with the heavy chain against antigen B, or the light chain against antigen B is paired with Targeting on the heavy chain of antigen A), various methods have been reported so far.
  • Fab A+Fab B 1+1 asymmetric
  • Common light chain antibodies It has been reported to use in vitro display technology or to screen specific light chains from mice with a common light chain (WO2012067176; WO2013134263) to pair a heavy chain against antigen A and a heavy chain against antigen B, and maintain phase The original biological function of the corresponding antibody.
  • Two-in-one antibody It has been reported that through phage display and rational design (WO2010027981), the antibody that binds to antigen A is optimized so that it retains the original binding ability to antigen A and has the ability to bind antigen B. The ability to bind enables one antibody to bind two targets.
  • the above two methods both require a lot of engineering transformation, are technically difficult, and have yet to be proved universal. Therefore, the transformation of Fab (VH/VL or/and CH1/CL interaction interface) with orthogonal properties has attracted more and more attention in the industry in recent years.
  • IgG/TCR (WO2014014796; WO2019057122): In view of the structural similarity between the TCR constant region and antibody CH1/CL, it was reported that the potential light chain mismatch problem was avoided by replacing the CH1/CL of FabA with the constant region of TCR.
  • Crossmab (WO2012023053): Reduces the likelihood of light chain mismatches by swapping VH/VL, CH1/CL, or HC/LC for a Fab.
  • DuetMab (WO2013096291): A non-natural disulfide bond was introduced into CH1/CL of the Fab against antigen A to replace the original disulfide bond to reduce the possibility of light chain mismatch.
  • Computer-aided design Avoid light chain mismatches by computer-aided design (WO2014150973; WO2016172485).
  • bispecific antibodies As a new drug form, bispecific antibodies have special structures, and their preparation and industrialization are more difficult than monoclonal antibodies. Although various approaches have been attempted to address the mismatch between heavy and light chains, the resulting structural adjustments may alter the stability, immunogenicity or pharmacokinetic characteristics of the molecule, and new technologies still need to be developed To increase the yield of multispecific antibodies (eg bispecific antibodies).
  • the present disclosure works by removing natural disulfide bonds and introducing non-natural disulfide bonds in the CH1/CL interface, or by introducing electrostatically complementary amino acid pairs in the CH1/CL interface, or by removing natural disulfide bonds in the CH1/CL interface By introducing unnatural disulfide bonds and introducing electrostatically complementary amino acid pairs at the same time, the correct pairing ratio of the light and heavy chains of the multispecific antibody is improved compared with the wild type.

由于可以识别不同的抗原分子或者识别同一抗原分子的不同表位,双特异性抗体具有单克隆抗体不具备的独特生物学功能,并逐渐受到市场的认可。尽管关于双特异性抗体的相关技术已经发展了二十年,但仍然有很多现实的技术问题制约着双特异性抗体的生产开发。随着技术的进步,用来改造和生产双特异性抗体新型的分子形式和解决策略层出不穷。以1+1非对称(Fab A+Fab B)双抗为例,为了避免轻链错配(针对抗原A的轻链配对到针对抗原B的重链上,或者针对抗原B的轻链配对到针对抗原A的重链上),迄今为止多种方法已被报道。
共同轻链抗体:有人报道使用体外展示技术或者从具有共同轻链的小鼠筛选特异性轻链(WO2012067176;WO2013134263),以配对针对抗原A的重链和针对抗原B的重链,并维持相对应抗体的原有生物功能。二合一(Two-in-one)抗体:有人报道通过噬菌体展示和理性设计(WO2010027981),将与抗原A结合的抗体进行优化,使其保留对抗原A的原有结合能力并具有与抗原B结合的能力,实现一个抗体结合两种靶点。以上两种方法均需要大量的工程化改造,技术难度大,普适性仍有待证明。因此,具有正交特性的Fab(VH/VL或/和CH1/CL相互作用界面)改造近年来越来越受到业内的关注。
IgG/TCR(WO2014014796;WO2019057122):鉴于TCR恒定区和抗体CH1/CL中的结构相似性,有人报道通过替换FabA的CH1/CL为TCR的恒定区,以避免潜在的轻链错配问题。Crossmab(WO2012023053):通过互换针对某Fab的VH/VL、CH1/CL、或HC/LC,降低轻链错配的可能性。DuetMab(WO2013096291):在针对抗原A的Fab的CH1/CL引入非天然二硫键替换原有二硫键,降低轻链错配的可能性。计算机辅助设计:通过计算机辅助设计(WO2014150973;WO2016172485),避免轻链错配。
作为新型药物形式,双特异性抗体有着特殊结构,制备与产业化也较单克隆抗体更为困难。虽已有多种方式试图解决重链和轻链之间的错配问题,但由此进行的结构调整可能会改变分子的稳定性、免疫原性或药动学特征,仍然需要开发新的技术以提高多特异性抗体(例如双特异性抗体)的产率。

术语“抗原结合蛋白”是指能够结合抗原的蛋白,其包括但不限于全长抗体、抗体片段或抗体与其他多肽的融合蛋白。所述“结合”例如可以是特异性结合。抗体片段的实例包括但不限于(i)Fab片段,由VL、VH、CL和CH1结构域组成的单价片段;(ii)F(ab')2片段,包含通过铰链区上的二硫桥连接的两个Fab片段的二价片段,(iii)由VH和CH1结构域组成的Fd片段;(iv)由抗体的单臂的VH和VL结构域组成的Fv片段;(v)dsFv,由VH和VL经链间二硫键形成的抗原结合片段;(vi)包含scFv、dsFv、Fab等片段的双抗体、双特异性抗体和多特异性抗体。此外,虽然Fv片段的两个结构域VL和VH,通过合成的接头连接它们,从而使得其能够产生为其中VL和VH区配对形成单价分子的单个蛋白质链(称为单链Fv(scFv);参见,例如,Bird等人(1988)Science 242:423-426;和Huston等人(1988)Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci USA 85:5879-5883)。此类单链抗体也包括在术语抗体片段中。使用本领域技术人员已知的常规技术获得此类抗体片段,并且以与对于完整抗体的方式相同的方式就功用性筛选片段。可通过重组DNA技术或通过酶促或化学断裂完整免疫球蛋白来产生抗原结合域。
抗体可以是不同同种型的抗体,例如,依据抗体的重链恒定区的氨基酸序列,抗体分为不同类型(例如IgA、IgD、IgE、IgG和IgM的5种类型,进而IgG1、IgG2、IgG3、IgG4、IgA1和IgA2等的亚型)。对应上述5种类型的重链恒定区分别称为α、δ、ε、γ和μ。
抗体的轻链基于其氨基酸序列可认为是Kappa(κ)或Lamda(λ)中任一种。
术语“(轻链)CL区”是指抗体轻链的恒定区,是相关技术领域公知的区。CL区可通过常规方法确定,例如可利用与已知抗体等的同源性而确定目的区域是否为CL区,CL区的边界可改变,通常在人κ链中,CL区由107个氨基酸残基组成,人λ链中的CL区通常由106个氨基酸残基组成。人κ链CL区中的天然半胱氨酸为按照Kabat编码的第214位,人λ链的CL区中的天然半胱氨酸为按照Kabat编 码的第214位。
术语“(重链)CH1区”是指重链的第一恒定区,其为相关技术领域已知的区。本文定义的CH1区也可含CH1区之后的绞链区的一部分(可包含于Fab区的绞链区)。CH1区可通过常规方法确定,例如可利用与已知抗体等的同源性而确定目的区域是否为CH1区。由于CH1区的边界可改变,因此,在人IgG1、IgG2、IgG3、IgG4的重链中,本文定义的CH1区通常是由氨基酸残基编号118-215和额外的绞链区的一部分(例如氨基酸残基编号216-224)组成;在IgM的重链中,本文定义CH1区域通常是由氨基酸基编号118-216组成,但不限于此。
术语“Fc区”是指将抗体以木瓜酶切割时所得的2种片段中,对应于不具有抗原结合能力的片段的区。通常,Fc区是指抗体重链的C端区,其包含一部分绞链区、重链的第二恒定(CH2)区和第三恒定(CH3)区。重链Fc区的边界可改变,例如人IgG1重链Fc区由Thr225的氨基酸残基至CH3区的羧基端组成。
术语“依赖抗体的细胞毒性(ADCC)”指分泌的Ig结合至存在于一些细胞毒性细胞(例如天然杀伤(NK)细胞、嗜中性粒细胞和巨噬细胞)上的Fc受体(FcR)上,使得这些细胞毒性效应细胞能够特异性结合具有抗原的靶细胞,随后用细胞毒剂杀死靶细胞。抗体“武装”细胞毒性细胞,且绝对为这种杀伤所需。介导ADCC的主要细胞NK细胞仅表达FcγRIII,而单核细胞表达FcγRI、FcγRII和FcγRIII。造血细胞上的Fc表达总结在Ravetch和Kinet,Annu.Rev.Immunol.9:457-92(1991)的第464页上的表3中。为了评估目的分子的ADCC活性,可以进行体外ADCC测定,如描述于美国专利号5,500,362或5,821,337中的体外ADCC测定。用于这类测定的效应细胞包括外周血单核细胞(PBMC)和天然杀伤(NK)细胞。备选地,或此外,可以在体内,例如在诸如公开于Clynes等,PNAS USA 95:652-656(1998)中的动物模型的动物模型中评估目的分子的ADCC活性。
术语“Fc受体”或“FcR”描述结合抗体Fc区的受体。优选的FcR是人FcR。此外,优选的FcR是结合IgG抗体的FcR(γ受体),且包括FcγRI、FcγRII和FcγRIII亚类的受体,包括这些受体的等位基因变体和选择性剪接形式。FcγRII受体包括FcγRIIA(“激活受体”)和FcγRIIB(“抑制受体”),它们具有主要在其胞质结构域中不同的相似氨基酸序列。激活受体FcγRIIA在其胞质结构域中包含基于免疫受体酪氨酸的激活基序(ITAM)。抑制受体FcγRIIB在其胞质结构域中包含基于免疫受体酪氨酸的抑制基序(ITIM)(参见综述M.Daeron,Annu.Rev.Immunol.15:203-234(1997))。FcR综述于Ravetch和Kinet,Annu.Rev.Immunol.9:457-92(1991);Capel等,Immunomethods 4:25-34(1994);及de Haas等,J.Lab.Clin.Med.126:330-41(1995)中。本文的术语“FcR”涵盖了其他FcR,包括有待在将来鉴定的那些。该术语还包括负责将母体IgG转移至胎儿的新生儿受体FcRn(Guyer等,J.Immunol.117:587(1976)和Kim 等,J.Immunol.24:249(1994))。
术语“人效应细胞”是表达一种或多种FcR并执行效应子功能的白细胞。优选地,该细胞至少表达FcγRIII并执行ADCC效应子功能。介导ADCC的人白细胞的实例包括外周血单核细胞(PBMC)、天然杀伤(NK)细胞、单核细胞、细胞毒性T细胞和嗜中性粒细胞;优选PBMC和NK细胞。可以从天然来源例如从血液分离效应细胞。
术语“依赖补体的细胞毒性”或“CDC”指在补体存在下裂解靶细胞。经典补体途径的激活由补体***第一成分(C1q)与结合于其关连抗原的(适当亚类的)抗体的结合起始。为了评估补体激活,可以进行例如Gazzano-Santoro等,J.Immunol.Methods 202:163(1996)中所述的CDC测定。
术语“治疗有效量”指在个体中治疗疾病或障碍的抗体(包括多特异性抗体)、其抗原结合抗体片段、或其衍生物的量。在肿瘤(例如癌性肿瘤)的情况下,抗体或抗体片段(例如多特异性抗体或抗体片段)的治疗有效量可以减少癌细胞的数目、减小原发性肿瘤大小、抑制(即在某种程度上减慢和优选阻止)癌细胞浸润入外周器官、抑制(即在某种程度上减慢和优选阻止)肿瘤转移、在某种程度上抑制肿瘤生长、和/或在某种程度上减轻与障碍相关的一种或多种症状。在抗体或其抗体片段、或其衍生物可以阻止生长和/或杀死现有癌细胞的程度上,它可以是细胞抑制剂和/或细胞毒剂。对于癌症治疗,可以例如通过评估存活期、疾病进展时间(TTP)、应答率(RR)、应答持续时间和/或生活质量来测量体内功效。
术语“天然二硫键”是指通常存在于野生型多肽(抗体等)的半胱氨酸-半胱氨酸间的共价键。术语“非天然二硫键”是指在上述“天然二硫键”以外的位置所形成的半胱氨酸-半胱氨酸间的共价键。
术语“多特异性抗体”是指结合两个或更多个不同的表位(例如,两个、三个、四个或更多个不同的表位)的抗体。表位可以在相同或不同的抗原上。多特异性抗体的实例之一是结合两个不同表位的“双特异性抗体”。
术语“价”表示抗体分子中存在特定数目的结合位点。天然抗体例如具有两个结合位点并且是二价的。如此,术语“四价”表示抗体分子中存在四个结合位点。
术语“氨基酸”主要是指选自以下的20种天然存在的氨基酸:丙氨酸(Ala或A)、半胱氨酸(Cys或C)、天冬氨酸(Asp或D)、谷氨酸(Glu或E)、苯丙氨酸(Phe或F)、甘氨酸(Gly或G)、组氨酸(His或H)、异亮氨酸(He或I)、赖氨酸(Lys或K)、亮氨酸(Leu或L)、甲硫氨酸(Met或M)、天冬酰胺(Asn或N)、脯氨酸(Pro或P)、谷氨酰胺(Gln或Q)、精氨酸(Arg或R)、丝氨酸(Ser或S)、苏氨酸(Thr或T)、缬氨酸(Val或V)、色氨酸(Trp或W)和酪氨酸(Tyr或Y)。术语“氨基酸残基”是指组成多肽的氨基酸在相互结合时,由于其部分基团参与了肽键的形成而失去一分子水,因此把多肽中的氨基酸单位称为氨基酸残基,即由肽键链接的氨基酸失水后剩余部分。本文中术语“氨基酸”和“氨基酸残基”可互换使用。
氨基酸“带正电荷”或“带负电荷”是根据pH 7.4时所测定的氨基酸侧链的电荷属性进行的分类。氨基酸可根据常见的侧链性质分组:(1)疏水性:正亮氨酸、Met、Ala、Val、Leu、Ile;(2)中性亲水性:Cys、Ser、Thr、Asn、Gln;(3)酸性(带负电荷):Asp、Glu;(4)碱性(带正电荷):His、Lys、Arg;(5)影响链方向的残基:Gly、Pro;(6)芳香族:Trp、Tyr、Phe。
术语“界面”是指源自抗原结合蛋白或抗体的第一结构域中的一个或多个氨基酸与第二结构域的一个或多个氨基酸的相互作用的结合或接触表面。示例性界面存在于例如CH1/CL之间、VH/VL之间和/或CH3/CH3之间。在一些实施方案中,界面包括例如形成界面的氨基酸之间的氢键、静电相互作用或盐桥。
术语“载体”是指能够运输已与其连接的另一个核酸的核酸分子。在一个实施方案中,载体是“质粒”,其是指可将另外的DNA区段连接至其中的环状双链DNA环。在另一个实施方案中,载体是病毒载体,其中可将另外的DNA区段连接至病毒基因组中。本文中公开的载体能够在已引入它们的宿主细胞中自主复制(例如,具有细菌的复制起点的细菌载体和附加型哺乳动物载体)或可在引入宿主细胞后整合入宿主细胞的基因组,从而随宿主基因组一起复制(例如,非附加型哺乳动物载体)。
现有技术中熟知生产和纯化抗体和抗原结合片段的方法,如冷泉港的抗体实验技术指南,5-8章和15章。例如,鼠可以用人PD-1或其片段免疫,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。本公开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加上一个或更多个人源FR区。人FR种系序列可以通过比对IMGT人类抗体可变区种系基因数据库和MOE软件,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。
术语“宿主细胞”是指已向其中引入了表达载体的细胞。宿主细胞可包括细菌、微生物、植物或动物细胞。易于转化的细菌包括肠杆菌科(enterobacteriaceae)的成员,例如大肠杆菌(Escherichia coli)或沙门氏菌(Salmonella)的菌株;芽孢杆菌科(Bacillaceae)例如枯草芽孢杆菌(Bacillus subtilis);肺炎球菌(Pneumococcus);链球菌(Streptococcus)和流感嗜血菌(Haemophilus influenzae)。适当的微生物包括酿酒酵母(Saccharomyces cerevisiae)和毕赤酵母(Pichia pastoris)。适当的动物宿主细胞系包括CHO(中国仓鼠卵巢细胞系)和NS0细胞。
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,编码重链和轻链的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端位点。通过表达与人PD-1特异性结合的抗体、或者与PD-1和PD-L1两者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。比如,用含调整过的缓冲液的A或G Sepharose FF柱进行纯化。洗去非特异性结合的组分。再用pH梯度法洗脱结合的抗体,用SDS-PAGE检测抗体片段,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。
除另有说明外,本公开的术语“第一”和“第二”仅是通用标识符,不应被理解为标识本文提供的抗原结合蛋白的具体或特定部分;本公开任意实施方案中“第一”和“第二”可以颠倒,例如,本公开描述的处于第一CH1和第一CL中的任意氨基酸取代可以备选地处于第二CH1和第二CL中。

实施例
以下结合实施例进一步描述本公开,但这些实施例并非限制着本公开的范围。本公开实施例中未注明具体条件的实验方法,通常按照常规条件,如冷泉港的抗体技术实验手册,分子克隆手册;或按照原料或商品制造厂商所建议的条件。未注明具体来源的试剂,为市场购买的常规试剂。
实施例1实验材料和方法
1.1单克隆抗体表达纯化
用生长状态良好、处于对数生长期的CHO-S细胞(Thermo,A29133),离心并按照6×10 6个细胞/mL接种250mL。将溶液2(用培养液9.2mL稀释800μL转染试剂,混匀)加入溶液1(用培养液10mL稀释250μg质粒,混匀)中,总体 积是20mL,轻柔混匀后室温孵育1-5min,将混合转染液逐滴加入细胞培养液中,边摇边加。然后将培养瓶置于5%CO 2,32℃摇床培养,18-22个小时后加辅料Feed(Thermo,A29133)16mL,增强剂Enhancer(Thermo,A29133)0.6mL。第五天加辅料Feed(Thermo,A29133)16mL,120rpm,5%CO 2,32℃培养,待第12-14天离心收集上清,亲和层析法纯化(MabSelect SuRe column,GE,17-5438)。
1.2双抗表达和纯化
双抗表达过程与单抗PD-1相同,纯化策略较单抗略复杂:其中第一步的亲和层析初纯与单抗相似,但有时需要使用离子交换层析进行精纯。根据抗体等电点性质,可以选择不同的阴、阳离子交换层析方法。
其中,阴离子交换层析的方法是:将一步纯化的样品上样到HiTrap Q HP column(GE,17515601)柱,用A液(20mM PB,pH 7.0)平衡,然后用0-100%B液(20mM PB,1M NaCl,pH7.0)梯度洗脱。阳离子交换层析的方法是:将一步纯化的样品上样到Capto S ImpAct预装柱(GE,17-5441-22),用A液(50mM NaAc,50mMNaCl,pH 5.0)平衡,然后用0-100%B液(50mM NaAc,500mM NaCl,pH5.0)梯度洗脱。
1.3质谱分析
本公开中使用常规的高分辨质谱6530B ESI-Q-TOF(Agilent)和XEVO G2-XS Q-Tof(Waters)对蛋白样品进行生物分析。
1.3.1完整分子量
将样品稀释后,利用反向色谱分离并进入高分辨率质谱检测,得到含有不同质荷比信息的原始谱图,通过解卷软件处理后,获得抗体完整分子量信息。具体为:取50μg样品及标准品用流动相A(0.1%甲酸水溶液)稀释至0.5mg/mL,4℃12000rpm离心10min,取上清至进样瓶。进样前用95%流动相A平衡色谱柱(Waters,186008946)至平稳,进样后使用流动相A和流动相B(0.1%甲酸乙腈溶液)进行梯度洗脱。样品采集结束后,在目标峰出峰处得到对应的质谱数据。
1.3.2脱糖完整分子量

实施例3 PD-1单克隆抗体表达载体的构建和蛋白表达纯化
将编码PD-1-IgG1-LALA抗体的重链(序列如SEQ ID NO:1所示)和轻链(序列如SEQ ID NO:2所示)的核酸分别构建到pTT5质粒载体上。在其基础上,在重链中引入进行C220A突变(EU编码);在轻链中引入C214A突变(Kabat编码)。同时引入这两个突变,彻底去除了天然存在于这些位置(CH1第220位-和CL第214位)的链间二硫键。
为表达由非天然二硫键连接的PD-1单抗,我们在天然二硫键去除的重链中进一步引入S131C(SEQ ID NO:3),L128C(SEQ ID NO:4),A129C(SEQ ID NO:5),或F170C(SEQ ID NO:6);类似地,在天然二硫键去除的轻链中进一步引入P119C(SEQ ID NO:8),S121C(SEQ ID NO:9),或T164C(SEQ ID NO:10),如表3所示。

根据表3所示的PD-1单抗序列和质粒配比信息,按照实施例1.1和1.2的方法表达和纯化抗体,引入非天然二硫键后的PD-1抗体一步纯化后的蛋白表达量和纯度与含天然二硫键的PD-1抗体相当,无明显变化。为了确认非天然二硫键是否形成,我们使用IdeS酶酶切处理对应的PD-1抗体,得到了F(ab’) 2的分子片段(图1),证明在上述特定位置S131C-P119C、L128C-S121C、A129C-S121C、F170C-T164C引入的半胱氨酸能够形成CH1/CL链间二硫键。
为了进一步确认非天然二硫键的形成,特别是在抗体分子中是否存在未配对的游离半胱氨酸残基,我们按照实施例1.3的方法进一步定量表征了单抗分子的游离巯基。我们设定,游离巯基比例(%)=NEM修饰肽段质谱信号强度/肽段质谱总信号强度×100%。结果表明,由非天然二硫键S131C-P119C、L128C-S121C、A129C-S121C、F170C-T164C组成的PD-1单抗中,整体游离巯基的比例<3%,结果表明这些引入的非天然半胱氨酸残基能够配对形成二硫键。
实施例4非天然二硫键引入CH1/Cκ的PD-1×CTLA-4双抗
4.1分子形式
鉴于非天然二硫键运用于PD-1单抗上的出色表现,我们进一步设计了基于KIH(S354C/T366W;Y349C/T366S/L368A/Y407V)的1+1非对称双特异性抗体。理论上,可以在PD-1臂或者CTLA-4臂之一上使用非天然二硫键;PD-1臂的Fc中包含凹陷(hole),CTLA-4臂的Fc中包含凸起(knob),反之亦然;由此可以形成四种组合形式。在本实施例中,使PD-1臂的Fc在包含形成凸起(knob)的氨基酸突变T366W,使CTLA-4臂的Fc中包含形成凹陷(hole)的氨基酸突变T366S/L368A/Y407V(图2给出了结构示意图)。
根据表4所示的PD-1×CTLA-4双抗序列和质粒配比信息,按照实施例1.1和1.2的方法表达和纯化双特异性抗体。

4.2初纯产物的错配质谱分析
4.2.1非天然二硫键对对应Fab的表达影响
以PD-1×CTLA-4双抗为例,对于在CTLA-4臂引入非天然二硫键L128C-S121C并且在PD-1臂中保留天然二硫键的TJ030-PR1103,在编码4条链的质粒共转表达时,在PD-1臂的竞争下,CTLA-4臂的表达量显著下降。双抗初纯产物经木瓜蛋白酶酶切后的分子量解卷积质谱结果(图3)显示,TJ030-PR1101 CTLA-4臂峰强度/PD-1臂峰强度=1:2,TJ030-PR1103CTLA-4臂峰强度/PD-1峰强度=1:46。相比之下,引入非天然二硫键F170C-T164C的TJ030-PR1104和引入非天然二硫键S131C-P119C的TJ030-PR1105,在天然二硫键Fab臂的竞争下,并不会降低表达量,其CTLA-4臂峰强度/PD-1臂峰强度维持在1:2左右。
4.2.2轻链错配比例
为进一步定量分析轻链错配,根据图3的分子量解卷积质谱结果计算正确配对比例,计算公式为:(正确PD-1臂峰强度+正确CTLA-4臂峰强度)/(正确PD-1臂峰强度+正确CTLA-4臂峰强度+其他杂质峰强度),结果参见表5。可以看出,TJ030-PR1103(L128C-S121C)和TJ030-PR1104(F170C-T164C)无论非天然二硫键至于CTLA-4臂还是PD-1臂,相对于TJ030-PR1101(采用天然二硫键)和现有技术报道的TJ030-PR1102(F126C-S121C),正确配对比例均有较大提高。对于TJ030-PR1105(S131C-P119C),当非天然二硫键置于PD-1臂时,正确配对比例相对于TJ030-PR1101(采用天然二硫键)和现有技术报道的TJ030-PR1102(F126C-S121C),正确配对比例均有较大提高。

4.4精纯产物的质谱错配分析
以TJ030-PR1104为例,根据实施例1.2的方法对一步纯产物精纯后,如图4A所示收集特征峰用于后续检测。
4.4.1完整分子量和脱糖完整分子量
采用1.3.2的方法进行脱糖完整分子量检测,结果如图4B所示,脱糖完整分子量质谱发现了正确配对的1+1的非对称双抗的目的蛋白,同时发现了H2L1(两重链一轻链形式,缺CTLA-4臂轻链)的副产物以及PD-1轻链半胱氨酸缀合物(LC PD-1-Cys)的形成。可能是由于CTLA-4臂,特别是CTLA-4臂的轻链表达量不足,导致H2L1的大量产生。我们推测这类H2L1不完整的抗体分子需要额外的LC PD-1以进一步稳定结构;即便如此,经过精纯后的TJ030-PR1104仍然没有检测到轻链错配的产物。
4.4.2还原分子量检测和脱糖还原分子量
采用1.3.3的方法进行还原分子量和脱糖还原分子量检测,结果如图4C所示,除了发现双抗TJ030-PR1104对应的4条还原蛋白序列以外,还原分子量和脱糖还原分子量质谱还检测到了配对的CTLA-4重链和或轻链(HC CTLA-4-LC CTLA-4),进一步确认了F170C-T164C非天然二硫键的正确形成。
4.5细胞交联实验
根据实施例1.4,采用流式方法检测精纯后的PD-1×CTLA-4双特异抗体TJ030-PR1102(F126C-S121C置于CTLA-4臂)、TJ030-PR1104(F170C-T164C置于CTLA-4臂)、TJ030-PR1106(F126C-S121C置于PD-1臂)和TJ030-PR1108(F170C-T164C置于PD-1臂)分别对高表达人PD-1和人CTLA-4的细胞的共结合能力,其中CTLA-4单抗和IgG作为阴性对照。交联实验的结果表明,1+1非对称的PD-1×CTLA-4双抗能够将表达PD-1的细胞和表达CTLA-4的细胞交联到一起(表6和图5),并且双抗浓度在0.03nM到10nM的浓度范围里,随着浓度的逐渐提高,由细胞交联产生的双阳性细胞比例也逐渐升高。这种细胞交联现象仅 在双抗分子孵育的情况下出现,单抗或IgG1孵育不会出现细胞交联。另外,引入F170C-T164C这对非天然二硫键的双抗分子TJ030-PR1104和TJ030-PR1108相对于已报道的F126C-S121C的非天然二硫键TJ030-PR1102在0.03nM-100nM的各浓度点均检测到显著更多的双阳性细胞。

实施例5 PD-1×CTLA-4双抗表达中质粒配比的优化
采用实施例1.1的方法进行双抗表达,在瞬转表达过程中,我们提高了轻链的质粒配比(重链和轻链质粒摩尔比从1:1变为2:3),希望降低“两重链一轻链(H2L1)”构型抗体的对应比例。另外,我们在1+1非对称双抗的一个臂引入CH1/Cκ或其非天然二硫键突变体,另一臂引入CH1/Cλ或其非天然二硫键突变体,以便于后续使用Kappa Select或者Lambda Select进行纯化,并且研究轻链亚型的选择对降低轻链错配的影响。表7给出了PD-1×CTLA-4双抗序列和质粒配比信息。

*正确配对和错配配对的Fab分子量非常接近(<2Da),比较难以判断。
以TJ030-PR1313为例,Lys-C酶切经过阳离子交换精纯后的双抗,表明Fab完全正确配对,无轻链错配现象。脱糖完整分子量符合预期,无明显缺少轻链的H2L1副产物出现(图7)。
如表9所示,TJ030-PR1231和TJ030-PR1317相比,均在PD-1臂中引入氨基酸突变F170C-T164C,并且PD-1臂中轻链为κ亚型,两者的区别仅在于TJ030-PR1231的CTLA-4臂中轻链为κ亚型,TJ030-PR1317的CTLA-4臂中轻链为λ亚型,TJ030-PR1317显示出更高的正确配对比例;即两臂采用不同的轻链亚型有利于提高双特异性抗体的正确配对比例。

在CH1第139位和CL第114位引入静电效应突变后的双抗分子TJ030-PR1220、TJ030-PR1221和TJ030-PR1222的序列和质粒配比信息在表7中示出,结果显示引入静电效应能够降低轻链错配。
向TJ030-PR1231的PD-1臂和CTLA-4臂的CH1第139位和CL第114位分别引入静电效应突变后,得到双抗分子TJ030-PR1230(序列和质粒配比信息如表7所示),一步初纯产物无轻链错配(表10),证明了HC139-LC114的静电作用可以进一步降低轻链错配。

另外,结合表5可以看出,TJ030-PR1230与TJ030-PR1108相比,增加轻链(特别是表达弱的轻链CTLA-4臂)的转染比例,也可以降低轻链错配。

图10C和图10D显示,ERP2006-BS0012和ERP2006-BS0015在没有FAP存在的情况下具有CD40的激活活性,但是其活性弱于亲本抗体9E5-25,这一特征使得双特异性抗体在FAP不存在的外周组织CD40激活活性下降,能降低CD40单抗的外周毒性。在FAP蛋白存在的情况下,ERP2006-BS0012和ERP2006-BS0015对CD40的激活活性明显增强,说明具有FAP依赖的CD40激活活性,其对CD40的激活要强于亲本CD40单抗9E5-25,该特征使得双特异抗体在FAP高表达的肿瘤部位具有更强的CD40激活活性。
