Definitions
- a Sequence Listing accompanies this application and is submitted as an ASCII text file of the sequence listing named “083389_01622_X30022_SequenceListing.txt” which is 95,709 bytes in size and was created on March 15, 2022.
- the sequence listing is electronically submitted via EFS-Web with the application and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- the present disclosure is in the field of medicine. Particularly the present disclosure relates to antibodies that specifically bind human TSPAN33, compositions comprising such TSPAN33 antibodies, and methods of using such TSPAN33 antibodies.
- B cells can produce antibodies against various antigens and thus play an important role in the humoral immune response. Additionally, B cells also function as antigen presenting cells (APC) and secrete cytokines. B cells express B cell receptor (BCR) on their cell membranes; and BCR allows the B cell to bind a specific antigen, against which it will initiate an antibody response. Dysregulation of B cells is associated with a variety of disorders.
- Human TSPAN33 (also known as Tetraspanin-33, Penumbra (hPen), Proerythroblast new membrane, BAAM antigen) is a member of the transmembrane 4 superfamily (TM4SF) of proteins that associate with other molecules such as integrins or other tetraspanins to regulate the function of the associated molecules mediating diverse biological processes, including cell activation, survival, proliferation, adhesion, and migration.
- TM4SF transmembrane 4 superfamily
- TSPAN33 has been found to associate with other Tetraspanin family members as well as with a repertoire of other transmembrane and intracellular molecules, playing an active role during B-lymphocyte cytoskeleton and plasma membrane-related phenomena, including protrusion formation, adhesion, activation, phagocytosis, and cell motility including metastasis. TSPAN33 has been reported as being expressed by erythroid cells, kidney cells and activated B cells (Luu et al., Clin Immunol., 2013; 149:388-99). Human TSPAN33 has been reported as being upregulated in certain cancers, and as being constitutively expressed in some B cell lymphomas. (Id.; Perez-Martinez, et al., Scandinavian J. of Immunol., 2017; 86(1): 23-30).
- Antibodies to B-cell receptors such as CD 19 and CD20, which are expressed on activated and resting human B cells, are known and approved for therapeutic use or are in clinical development for treatment of B cell associated disorders.
- B-cell receptors such as CD 19 and CD20
- CD 19 and CD20 which are expressed on activated and resting human B cells
- the present disclosure provides antibodies that specifically bind human TSPAN33 and inhibit B cell responses (e.g., proliferation, adhesion, activation, motility, survival, and / or migration), compositions comprising such TSPAN33 antibodies, and methods of using such TSPAN33 antibodies.
- B cell responses e.g., proliferation, adhesion, activation, motility, survival, and / or migration
- compositions comprising such TSPAN33 antibodies, and methods of using such TSPAN33 antibodies.
- the present disclosure provides human TSPAN33 antibodies that specifically deplete activated B cells and / or that specifically target disorders associated with activated B cells.
- Such human TSPAN33 antibodies can be used to treat B cell associated disorders, such as autoimmune diseases, particularly those associated with activated B cells, without destroying important immune cells including resting B cells, and thus avoid problematic concurrent immunocompromise, long-term immune suppression, and other complications resulting from targeting resting B cells.
- Such human TSPAN33 antibodies can be further used to treat B cell associated cancer, for example, B cell lymphomas or cancers expressing TSPAN33.
- the human TSPAN33 antibodies provided herein have one or more of the following properties: 1) bind human TSPAN33 with desirable binding affinities and / or association and dissociation rates, 2) bind human TSPAN33 on activated human B cells and inhibit proliferation, adhesion, activation, motility, survival and / or differentiation, 3) deplete activated B cells, 4) induce effector function mediated killing, 5) do not significantly bind resting B cells, and / or 6) low immunogenicity risk.
- the antibodies of the present disclosure that specifically bind human TSPAN33 are fully human antibodies. In some embodiments, the antibodies of the present disclosure specifically bind human TSPAN33 on activated B cells. In further embodiments, antibodies of the present disclosure do not deplete resting (non-activated) B cells. In further embodiments, the antibodies of the present disclosure bind human TSPAN33 on activated B cells and deplete the activated B cells. In yet further embodiments, the antibodies of the present disclosure induce effector function mediated killing.

The present disclosure is in the field of medicine. Particularly the present disclosure relates to antibodies that specifically bind human TSPAN33, compositions comprising such TSPAN33 antibodies, and methods of using such TSPAN33 antibodies.
BACKGROUND
B cells can produce antibodies against various antigens and thus play an important role in the humoral immune response. Additionally, B cells also function as antigen presenting cells (APC) and secrete cytokines. B cells express B cell receptor (BCR) on their cell membranes; and BCR allows the B cell to bind a specific antigen, against which it will initiate an antibody response. Dysregulation of B cells is associated with a variety of disorders.
Human TSPAN33 (also known as Tetraspanin-33, Penumbra (hPen), Proerythroblast new membrane, BAAM antigen) is a member of the transmembrane 4 superfamily (TM4SF) of proteins that associate with other molecules such as integrins or other tetraspanins to regulate the function of the associated molecules mediating diverse biological processes, including cell activation, survival, proliferation, adhesion, and migration. Human TSPAN33 has been found to associate with other Tetraspanin family members as well as with a repertoire of other transmembrane and intracellular molecules, playing an active role during B-lymphocyte cytoskeleton and plasma membrane-related phenomena, including protrusion formation, adhesion, activation, phagocytosis, and cell
motility including metastasis. TSPAN33 has been reported as being expressed by erythroid cells, kidney cells and activated B cells (Luu et al., Clin Immunol., 2013; 149:388-99). Human TSPAN33 has been reported as being upregulated in certain cancers, and as being constitutively expressed in some B cell lymphomas. (Id.; Perez-Martinez, et al., Scandinavian J. of Immunol., 2017; 86(1): 23-30).
Antibodies to B-cell receptors such as CD 19 and CD20, which are expressed on activated and resting human B cells, are known and approved for therapeutic use or are in clinical development for treatment of B cell associated disorders. However, to date, no known antibody that specifically binds human TSPAN33 has been approved for therapeutic use, nor is there an antibody that specifically binds human TSPAN33 in clinical development. Therefore, there remains a need for antibodies that specifically bind human TSPAN33 for use in treatment of B cell associated disorders, particularly disorders associated with activated B cells.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The present disclosure provides antibodies that specifically bind human TSPAN33 and inhibit B cell responses (e.g., proliferation, adhesion, activation, motility, survival, and / or migration), compositions comprising such TSPAN33 antibodies, and methods of using such TSPAN33 antibodies. Particularly the present disclosure provides human TSPAN33 antibodies that specifically deplete activated B cells and / or that specifically target disorders associated with activated B cells.

Ionizing radiation may include external radiation (or external beam radiation), internal radiation (or brachytherapy) or systemic radiation.
As used herein, the term “a,” “an,” “the” and similar terms used in the context of the present disclosure (especially in the context of the claims) are to be construed to cover both the singular and plural unless otherwise indicated herein or clearly contradicted by the context.
The term “antibody,” as used herein, refers to an immunoglobulin molecule that binds an antigen. Embodiments of an antibody include a monoclonal antibody, polyclonal antibody, human antibody, humanized antibody, chimeric antibody, or conjugated antibody. The antibodies can be of any class (e.g., IgG, IgE, IgM, IgD, IgA) and any subclass (e.g., IgGl, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4).
An exemplary antibody is an immunoglobulin G (IgG) type antibody comprised of four polypeptide chains: two heavy chains (HC) and two light chains (LC) that are cross- linked via inter-chain disulfide bonds. The amino-terminal portion of each of the four polypeptide chains includes a variable region of about 100-125 or more amino acids primarily responsible for antigen recognition. The carboxyl-terminal portion of each of the four polypeptide chains contains a constant region primarily responsible for effector function. Each heavy chain is comprised of a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a heavy chain constant region. Each light chain is comprised of a light chain variable region (VL) and a light chain constant region. The IgG isotype may be further divided into subclasses (e.g., IgGl, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4).
The VH and VL regions can be further subdivided into regions of hyper-variability, termed complementarity determining regions (CDRs), interspersed with regions that are more conserved, termed framework regions (FR). The CDRs are exposed on the surface of the protein and are important regions of the antibody for antigen binding specificity. Each VH and VL is composed of three CDRs and four FRs, arranged from amino-terminus to carboxyl-terminus in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4. Herein, the three CDRs of the heavy chain are referred to as “HCDRl, HCDR2, and HCDR3” and the three CDRs of the light chain are referred to as “LCDR1, LCDR2 and LCDR3”. The CDRs contain most of the residues that form specific interactions with the antigen. Assignment of amino acid residues to the CDRs may be done according to the well-known schemes, including those described in Rabat (Rabat et ak, “Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest,” National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md. (1991)), Chothia (Chothia et ak, “Canonical structures for the hypervariable regions of immunoglobulins”, Journal of Molecular Biology, 196, 901-917 (1987); Al-Lazikani et ak, “Standard conformations for the canonical structures of immunoglobulins”, Journal of Molecular Biology, 273, 927-948 (1997)), North (North et al., “A New Clustering of Antibody CDR Loop Conformations”, Journal of Molecular Biology, 406, 228-256 (2011)), or IMGT (the international ImMunoGeneTics database available on at www.imgt.org; see Lefranc et ak, Nucleic Acids Res. 1999; 27:209-212). The North CDR definitions are used for the antibodies that specifically bind human TSPAN33 described herein.
Exemplary embodiments of antibodies of the present disclosure also include antibody fragments or antigen-binding fragments, which comprise at least a portion of an antibody retaining the ability to specifically interact with an antigen such as Fab, Fab’, F(ab’)2, Fv fragments, scFv, scFab, disulfide-linked Fvs (sdFv), a Fd fragment and linear antibodies.
The terms “bind” and “binds” as used herein are intended to mean, unless indicated otherwise, the ability of a protein or molecule to form a chemical bond or attractive interaction with another protein or molecule, which results in proximity of the two proteins or molecules as determined by common methods known in the art.
The term “TSPAN33” as used herein, unless stated otherwise, refers to any native, mature TSPAN33 that results from processing of a TSPAN33 precursor protein in a cell. The term includes TSPAN33 from any vertebrate source, including mammals such as primates (e.g., humans and cynomolgus or rhesus monkeys) and rodents (e.g., mice and rats), unless otherwise indicated. The term also includes naturally occurring variants of TSPAN33, e.g., splice variants or allelic variants. The amino acid sequence of an example of human TSPAN33 is known in the art, e.g., NCBI reference sequence XP_006716023.1 (SEQ ID NO: 80). The term “TSPAN33” is used herein to refer collectively to all known human TSPAN33 isoforms and polymorphic forms.
The term “activated B cells” refers to non-resting B cells. B cell activation is triggered by binding of specific antigens to the B cell receptor (BCR). Various B cell associated disorders have been identified as having an activated B cell phenotype, and TSPAN33 has been reported as being expressed on activated B cells and not on resting B cells (Luu et ak, Clin Immunol., 2013; 149:388-99).
The term “Fc region” as used herein refers to a region of an antibody, which comprises the CH2 and CH3 domains of the antibody heavy chain. Optionally, the Fc region may include a portion of the hinge region or the entire hinge region of the antibody heavy chain. Biological activities such as effector function are attributable to the Fc region, which vary with the antibody isotype. Examples of antibody effector functions include, Fc receptor binding, antibody-dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody- dependent cell mediated phagocytosis (ADCP), Clq binding, complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), phagocytosis, down regulation of cell surface receptors (e.g. B cell receptor); and B cell activation.
The terms “nucleic acid” or “polynucleotide”, as used interchangeably herein, refer to polymers of nucleotides, including single-stranded and / or double-stranded nucleotide- containing molecules, such as DNA, cDNA and RNA molecules, incorporating native, modified, and / or analogs of, nucleotides. Polynucleotides of the present disclosure may also include substrates incorporated therein, for example, by DNA or RNA polymerase or a synthetic reaction.
The term “subject”, as used herein, refers to a mammal, including, but are not limited to, a human, chimpanzee, ape, monkey, cattle, horse, sheep, goat, swine, rabbit, dog, cat, rat, mouse, guinea pig, and the like. Preferably, the subject is a human.
The term “therapeutically effective amount,” as used herein, refers to an amount of a protein or nucleic acid or vector or composition that will elicit the biological or medical response of a subject, for example, reduction or inhibition of an enzyme or a protein activity, or ameliorate symptoms, alleviate conditions, slow or delay disease progression, or prevent a disease, etc. In a non-limiting embodiment, the term “a therapeutically effective amount” refers to the amount of a protein or nucleic acid or vector or composition that, when administered to a subject, is effective to at least partially alleviate, inhibit, prevent and/or ameliorate a condition, or a disorder or a disease.
As used herein, “treatment” or “treating” refers to all processes wherein there may be a slowing, controlling, delaying or stopping of the progression of the disorders or disease disclosed herein, or ameliorating disorder or disease symptoms, but does not necessarily indicate a total elimination of all disorder or disease symptoms. Treatment includes administration of a protein or nucleic acid or vector or composition for treatment of a disease or condition in a patient, particularly in a human.

EXAMPLES
The following examples are offered to illustrate, but not to limit, the claimed invention.
Example 1. Generation of human TSPAN33 antibodies
To develop antibodies specific to human TSPAN33, transgenic mice with human immunoglobulin variable regions are immunized with His-tagged human TSPAN33 large extracellular loop (LEL) fused to monovalent human Fc. Mouse B cells positive for human TSPAN33 binding are sorted by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and antibodies are cloned by single cell polymerase chain reaction (PCR). A panel of antibodies are cloned and expressed and screened by ELISA for binding to human TSPAN33 LEL VHH fusion. Positive clones are subsequently screened for binding to TSPAN33 expressed on CHO cells by FACS.
The antibodies of the invention can be synthesized and purified by well-known methods. An appropriate host cell, such as Chinese hamster ovarian cells (CHO), can be either transiently or stably transfected with an expression system for secreting antibodies using a predetermined HC:LC vector ratio if two vectors are used, or a single vector system encoding both heavy chain and light chain. Clarified media, into which the antibody has been secreted, can be purified using the commonly used techniques.
Example 2. Binding Activity of the human TSPAN33 Antibodies
Binding affinity and kinetics: The binding affinity and binding kinetics of exemplified human TSPAN33 antibodies to the TSPAN33-LEL VHH fusion protein is determined by Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) using Biacore™ 8K (GE Healthcare). The procedure generally follows the “Instrument Handbook”. Briefly, polyclonal goat anti-human IgG- Fc (Jackson Immunology cat#109005098) is immobilized onto Series S CM5 sensor chips
(GE Healthcare Cat.: #29104988) using standard amine coupling
(NHS/EDC/ethanolamine) protocols provided by the manufacturer’s protocols and a 10 mM Acetate pH 4.5 binding buffer/HBS-EP running buffer. Immobilization levels are between 10-12K resonance units (RUs). The antibody is first captured on Biacore™ goat anti-human IgG-Fc Chip followed by flowing a serial concentration of TSPAN33-LEL VHH fusion protein from 1000 nM down to 3.91 nM in 2-fold serial dilution in PBS-P20- BSA (0.005% surfactant P20, O.lmg/mL BSA).
All binding kinetic experiments are performed at 37 °C. Multi-cycle kinetics setting that runs each analyte concentration in a separate cycle regenerating the surface after each sample injection is used. To measure binding kinetics, the test antibodies are diluted to 10 pg/mL in PBS pH 7.4 and captured onto these chip surfaces to a level of 49-63 RU by injection at 10 pL/min using an HBS-EP running buffer. Next, TSPAN33-LEL fusion protein is diluted into HBS-EP at 1000, 500, 250, 125, 62.5, 31.25, 15.625, 7.8125, 3.91 and 0 nM and injected (180 s at 50 pL/min) in succession over the sensor chip surfaces containing the captured mAh variants. Dissociation of the antigen is allowed to occur for 600 s. Between each antigen injection, mAh and non-dissociated antigen are removed from the sensor chip surface with injection of 10 mM glycine, pH 1.5, buffer (regeneration). The regeneration is optimized to maintain consistent surface properties from cycle to cycle. The data is fit to a 1:1 binding model to derive ka and kd, and to calculate KD (Table Below). The results as demonstrated in Table 1, show exemplary SPR data of the exemplified human TSPAN33 antibodies.
Table 1. Exemplary Binding Affinities and kinetics of human TSPAN33 antibodies
Antigen Down Elisa Binding. Binding affinity of the exemplified human TSPAN33 antibodies to human TSPAN33 fusion protein are tested in an ELISA assay. A 96 well microtiter plate is coated with the recombinant human TSPAN33-LEL fused to a human VHH domain at 2 pg/mL(50 pL/well) in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) overnight. Next day, plate is washed and blocked for lhr at room temperature with 100 pL/well of casein buffer. The plate is washed three times with PBST (PBS with 0.1% Tween) and the TSPAN33 antibodies (4D4, 11E8, S3, and S24) and IgGl negative control antibody (Neg IgGl) are serially diluted 3 -fold from 2 pg/mL in blocking buffer and added to the TSPAN33-LEL fusion protein coated plate at 50 uL/well, and incubated for 1 hour at 37 °C. The plate is washed three times with PBST and anti -human kappa alkaline phosphatase diluted 1 : 1000 in PBS Is added at 50 ul/well and incubated for 1 hour at 37 °C. The plate is washed three times with PBST, and 50 pL of AMP-PMP substrate diluted 1:30 in deionized water is added. Absorbance is read at 560 nm on a Spectramax (Molecular Devices) plate reader.
Capture Elisa Binding: Binding affinity of the exemplified human TSPAN33 antibodies to human TSPAN33-LEL VHH fusion protein are tested in an ELISA assay. 96 well microtiter plates are coated overnight at 4 °C at 2 pg/mL (50 pL/well) of goat anti-human Fc specific polyclonal antibody in PBS. Following overnight incubation, plates are washed and blocked with 100 pL of casein buffer for 1 hour at room temperature. Plates are then washed three times using PBST (PBS with 0.1% Tween) and TSPAN33 antibodies (4D4, 11E8, S3, and S24) and an IgGl negative control antibody (Neg IgGl) diluted at 2 pg/mL in PBS casein are added at 50 pL/well and incubated for 1 hour at 37 °C. Plates are washed three times using PBST and biotinylated TSPAN33-LEL VHH-fusion protein is serially diluted 3-fold from 10 pg/mL and added at 50 pL/well to the plates, and plates are further incubated for 1 hour at 37 °C. Plates are washed three times using PBST, and 200 pL/well of PBS casein is added and incubated for 2 hours at 37 °C to allow for differential dissociation of the antibodies. The plates are then washed, and 50 pL of neutravidin alkaline phosphatase-conjugate diluted 1 : 1000 in PBS casein is added and incubated for 30 min at 37 °C. The plates are washed three times and 50 pL of AMP-PMP substrate diluted 1:30 in deionized water is added and the absorbance is read at 560 nm on a Spectramax (Molecular Devices) plate reader.
The results as demonstrated in Figure 1 and Figure 2, show that human TSPAN33 antibodies 4D4, 11E8, S3, and S24 specifically bind the recombinant human TSPAN33- LEL VHH fusion protein.
Cell surface binding: Binding of the exemplified human TSPAN33 antibodies to CHO cells stably expressing TSPAN33 and Daudi B lymphoblast cells is tested in a Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) assay. CHO cells stably expressing different membrane- bound human tetraspanin family members (TSPAN33, TSPAN5, TSPAN14, TSPAN17) and Daudi cells are added to 96-well cell culture plates (Falcon 353077) at 1 xlO5 cells/well in FACS buffer (PBS, 2.5% FBS, 20 mM HEPES, 2 mM EDTA). Cells are placed on ice for 10 minutes, and 50 pL of human TSPAN33 antibodies (11E8, S24, and S3) and an IgGl isotype control antibody are added to the wells at a final concentration of 1 pg/ml, and incubated for 1 hour at 4 °C. Cells are then washed 3 times by centrifuging for 5 min at 1000 RPM at 4 °C, and resuspended in 100 pL secondary antibody (PE-labelled goat anti human IgG Fc (Jackson ImmunoResearch cat#109-l 15-098)) diluted 1:800 in FACS buffer, and incubated for 1 hour at 4 °C. For positive controls, commercially available antibodies from BioLegend® and R&D are used, along with secondary antibody Alexa 488 labelled goat anti-mouse IgG,Fc (Jackson ImmunoResearch cat#l 15-545-071). Cells are then washed as previously described and then resuspended in 100 pL FACS buffer with sytox blue (Thermofisher S34857) diluted at a 1:10,000. Samples are analyzed by flow cytometry on a Propel Labs’ ZE5 cytometer using Everest software. Analysis is performed using FlowJo vlO.7.1, and median fluorescent intensities (MFI) are reported for either PE or Alexa Fluor 488.
The results as demonstrated in Table 2, and Figures 3 A-3F, and Figure 4 show that the human TSPAN33 antibodies 11E8, S24, and S3 specifically recognize and bind human TSPAN33 receptor expressed on the surface of CHO cells and Daudi cells. The results in Table 2 and Figures 3 A-3F further demonstrate, that the human TSPAN33 antibodies 11E8, S24, and S3 do not bind other TSPAN family members TSPAN5, TSPAN14 or TSPAN17. Table 2. Cell surface binding of human TSPAN33 antibodies
Binding to activated B cells: In vitro binding activity of the exemplified human TSPAN33 antibodies to human TSPAN33 on activated PBMCs from healthy human volunteers is evaluated by flow cytometry. PBMCs are isolated by standard density centrifugation (Ficoll-Paque) methods, resuspended at 6 x 107 in 45 mL media, and stimulated overnight with recombinant CD40L (20 ng/mL) and recombinant IL-4 (20 ng/mL) in a 37 °C, 5% CO2 incubator. The next day, PBMCs are washed, incubated with Fc blocker at 1:500 (Thermo Fisher 14-9161-73) for 10 min, and plated at 3 x 105 PBMCs/well in a 96-well round bottom plate. Plates are then spun down, media is gently removed, and cells are stained with human TSPAN33 antibodies (fluorescently labeled with Alexa Fluor 647 Thermo Fisher A20186) in 1:500 Fc blocker, 50ul of DPBS + 2% FCS for 30min at 4C. As controls, activated cells are stained with hlgGl and PE anti-human TSPAN33 (BAAM) antibody (Biolegend 395403). Stained cells are washed and analyzed on a flow cytometer. The binding of human TSPAN33 antibodies is represented as the percentage of antibody that bound the CD20+ B cells human and percentage of cells that bound CD4+ T cells in the flow cytometry analysis.
The results as demonstrated in Figure 5 show that the Fc and CDR modified human
TSPAN33 antibodies S3-C2-XEQ and S24-C2-IEQ specifically bind to activated CD20+ B ceils and not to CD4+ T cells.
Example 3. Effector Function Activity of the human TSPAN33 antibodies
Antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) In vitro ADCC assays of the exemplified human TSPAN33 antibodies are conducted using Daudi cells (ATCC #CCL-213)
expressing human TSPAN33 and human CD20, and with Jurkat cells expressing functional FcyRIIIa (V158)-NFAT-Luc (Eli Lilly and Company) as the effector cell line. Daudi target cells either activated (activated overnight with IL-4 and anti-CD40L) or unactivated (resting) are plated at 40,000 celis/welL with the exemplified human TSPAN33 antibodies, and CD20 positive control antibody (such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 8,153,125), ail of which are serially diluted down 2~fold from 3.3 pg/mL to 26 ng/mL, and incubated for 1 hour at 37 °C. Next, Jurkat VI 58 cells are added to the wells at 200,000 cells/well and incubated for 3 hours at 37 °C, followed by addition of 150 pL/well of Bright Glo Luciferase substrate (Promega, p/n. E2610). The contents of the plates are mixed using a plate shaker at low speed, for 10 minutes and the luminescence signal is read on a Spec traM ax L microplate reader (Molecular Devices). The data are exported into Sigmaplot and the relative luminescence units (RLU) for each antibody concentration are plotted in a scatter format of antibody concentration versus RLU.
The results in Figures 6A-6C and Figures 7A-7B show that the exemplified human TSPAN33 antibodies can induce ADCC activity in both unactivated (resting) and activated Daudi cells expressing TSPAN33. Specifically, Figures 6A-6C (unactivated Daudi cells) and 7A-7B (activated Daudi cells) show that the human TSPAN33 parental antibodies 11E8, S3, S24 and Fc and CDR modified antibodies 11E8-Y92H-IEQ and S24-C2-IEQ induce an ADCC response in both the unactivated and activated Daudi cells when compared to the control IgG. Furthermore, the results as demonstrated in Figures 6B-6C and 7A-7B, show that the Fc and CDR modified human TSPAN33 antibodies 11E8-Y92H- IEQ and S24-C2-IEQ induce an enhanced ADCC response when compared to the parental 11E8 and S24 antibodies respectively with both the unactivated and activated Daudi cells. Complement dependent cellular cytotoxicity ( CDC) In vitro CDC assays of the exemplified human TSPAN33 antibodies are conducted using human or mouse full-length TSPAN33 transfected CHO cells, or human Daudi cells. Cells to be assayed are collected, washed and resuspended to a final concentration of 1 c 106 cells/mL in CDC assay buffer (RPMI-1640 with no phenol red (Coming 17-105-CV) supplemented with 0.1% BSA (Sigma A7906)), and plated at 5 c 104 cells at 50 pL/well in a 96 well clear bottom black tissue culture treated plate (BD Falcon # 353219), Plates are then incubated at 37 °C 5% CCh in a cell culture incubator. The exemplified human TSPAN33 antibodies and CD20 antibody (positive control) are serially diluted from 30 pg/mL in CDC assay buffer and
added at 50 pL/well to the plated cells in the appropriate wells and incubated at 37 °C for 30 minutes. Controls are included in duplicate: cells alone, cells plus complement, and cells plus CD20 antibody. Next, 100 pL of CDC assay buffer is added to the cells alone control and 50 pL is added to the other controls. Human serum complement (Quidel, #A133) quickly thawed in a 37 °C water bath is diluted 1 :5 in CDC assay media and added at 50 pL/well to the assay plate. The plate is gently agitated and incubated for 3 hours at 37 °C 5% CO2 cell culture incubator. Next, 20 pL/well of Cell Titer Aqueous Solution (MTS) (Promega G3582) is added and the plate is incubated overnight at 37 °C. The following day, fluorescence (RFU) at 490 nM is read using a Molecular Devices Spectra Max Gemini EM plate reader.
The results as demonstrated in Figure 8, show that the human TSPAN33 antibodies may induce CDC in the human TSPAN33 transfected CHO cell line in a concentration- dependent manner.
