Description

新型抗-PCSK9抗體New anti-PCSK9 antibody

本發明係關於新型抗PCSK9抗體。The present invention relates to a novel anti-PCSK9 antibody.

心血管疾病一直是威脅人類健康及生命的頭號殺手(World Health Organization (WHO), World Health Organization (2011)。各類研究報導顯示,低密度脂蛋白膽固醇的降低可有效減少患心血管疾病的風險。目前降低膽固醇主要採用他汀類藥物。但很多患者由於副作用而無忍受高劑量的他汀類藥物或藉由他汀類藥物無法有效控制血脂(Baigent, C.等人, Lancet 2000, 376(9753), 1670-1681),該領域強烈需要新型治療方法。 前蛋白轉化酶枯草桿菌蛋白酶Kexin 9型(PCSK9)最早作為調控神經細胞凋亡的轉化酶-1而被發現。其主要在小腸及肝臟中合成(Seidah NG等人, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2003;100:928-33)。其前結構域經過細胞內的自裂解後成為成熟的PCSK9,然後經由肝臟細胞分泌出來(McNutt, M.C.等人, J. Biol. Chem. 2007, 20(282), 20799-20803)。在膽固醇代謝調節中,PCSK9扮演很重要的角色。研究人員在兩個患有常染色體顯性遺傳高膽固醇血症的法國家族中發現了PCSK9的功能增強型突變基因,從而發現了其在膽固醇代謝調節中的作用(Abifadel M等人, Nat Genet 2003;34:154-6)。PCSK9主要藉由結合低密度脂蛋白受體(LDL-R)從而在肝臟中經分解以達成調節膽固醇水準的作用。在不存在PCSK9的條件下,肝臟細胞上的低密度脂蛋白受體在運送低密度脂蛋白膽固醇至溶菌酶進行降解之後,將循環回到細胞膜表面。當PCSK9結合至低密度脂蛋白受體上時,將阻礙LDL-R之循環使用,且將加劇其降解(Verbeek, R.,等人, Eur J Pharmacol 2015; Lo Surdo P等人, EMBO Rep 2011;12:1300-5)。 目前在研中的幾種抑制PCSK9之方法包括藉由抗體或多肽結合來阻止PCSK9與LDL-R的結合,藉由基因沉默來抑制PCSK9的合成,藉由小分子藥物來抑制PCSK9的細胞內的合成(Michel Farnier, Archives of Cardiovascular Disease, 2014, 107, 58-66)。近期獲批的單株抗體Alirocumab及Evolocumab在二期及三期臨床研究中均顯示在降低低密度脂蛋白膽固醇方面的顯著效果。現有資料顯示,無論是否接受過他汀類藥物治療,低密度脂蛋白膽固醇水準的降低可達到70% (Dias, C.S等人, J.Am.Coll.Cardiol. 2012, 60(19), 1888-1898; Giugliano, R.P等人, Lancet, 2012, 380(9858), 2007-2017; McKenney, J.M等人, J. Am. Coll. Cardiol. 2012, 59(25), 2344-2353)。Cardiovascular disease has been the number one killer of human health and life (World Health Organization (WHO), World Health Organization (2011). Various research reports have shown that lowering LDL cholesterol can effectively reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease At present, statins are mainly used to reduce cholesterol. However, many patients do not tolerate high doses of statins due to side effects or cannot effectively control blood lipids with statins (Baigent, C. et al., Lancet 2000, 376 (9753), 1670-1681), a new therapeutic method is strongly needed in this field. The proprotein converting enzyme subtilisin Kexin type 9 (PCSK9) was first discovered as a converting enzyme-1 that regulates neuronal apoptosis. It is mainly synthesized in the small intestine and liver (Seidah NG et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2003; 100: 928-33). The predomains are self-lysed within cells to become mature PCSK9, and then secreted via liver cells (McNutt, MC et al., J Biol. Chem. 2007, 20 (282), 20799-20803). PCSK9 plays an important role in the regulation of cholesterol metabolism. Researchers in two patients with frequent staining A functionally enhanced mutant gene of PCSK9 has been found in the French family of dominant inherited hypercholesterolemia, which has revealed its role in the regulation of cholesterol metabolism (Abifadel M et al., Nat Genet 2003; 34: 154-6). PCSK9 Mainly by binding low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R), it is broken down in the liver to achieve the role of regulating cholesterol levels. In the absence of PCSK9, the low-density lipoprotein receptor on liver cells is transported low. After the degradation of LDL cholesterol to lysozyme, it will be recycled back to the cell membrane surface. When PCSK9 binds to the LDL receptor, it will hinder the recycling of LDL-R and will aggravate its degradation (Verbeek, R. , Et al., Eur J Pharmacol 2015; Lo Surdo P et al., EMBO Rep 2011; 12: 1300-5). Several methods currently under investigation for inhibiting PCSK9 include blocking PCSK9 and LDL- The binding of R inhibits the synthesis of PCSK9 by gene silencing and the intracellular synthesis of PCSK9 by small molecule drugs (Michel Farnier, Archives of Cardiovascular Disease, 2014, 107, 58-66). Strain Al Both irocumab and Evolocumab have shown significant effects in lowering LDL cholesterol in Phase II and Phase III clinical studies. Available data show that the level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol can be reduced by 70% whether or not they have been treated with statins (Dias, CS et al., J. Am. Coll. Cardiol. 2012, 60 (19), 1888-1898 Giugliano, RP et al., Lancet, 2012, 380 (9858), 2007-2017; McKenney, JM et al., J. Am. Coll. Cardiol. 2012, 59 (25), 2344-2353).

:動物實驗 5.1食蟹猴中單次注射藥效 使用LDLC及HDLC3套組(Roche)在Roche/Hitachi cobas c系統上偵測猴子血清中低密度脂蛋白膽固醇LDL-C及高密度脂蛋白膽固醇HDL-C的濃度。總膽固醇TCHO用cholesterol FS 套組 (DiaSys)偵測。 5.1.1實驗1: 6隻3-4歲的雌性食蟹猴,體重在2.6至2.9公斤之間,隨機分為6組(每組1隻)。6組猴子分別進行單次靜脈注射10 mg/kg或30 mg/kg劑量之BMK.115或18.156.8 (hIgG4)或40409 (hIgG4)抗體。給藥當天定義為第一天。每組猴子給藥後觀測36天。 備註:在本實驗中,「劑量水準」及「劑量」互換使用。a 除非另有說明書,否則劑量代表活性成分。 抗體18.156.8 及40409在食蟹猴中降低低密度膽固醇的療效。食蟹猴分別按10 mg/kg及30 mg/kg的劑量給藥後,抗體BMK.115 及W301-18.156.8可快速且持久地降低低密度脂蛋白膽固醇及總膽固醇含量。 在10 mg/kg及30 mg/kg的劑量組中,與注射前相比,BMK.115分別使低密度膽固醇降低至83.4% 及 89.6%;18.156.8分別使低密度膽固醇降低至79.5% 及83.5%。最大降低量在第8天達到。直至偵測結束,無論10 mg/kg或30 mg/kg劑量組,注射了18.156.8的猴子的低密度膽固醇一直維持在很低水準;對照抗體BMK.115隻在30 mg/kg劑量組中可使低密度脂蛋白水準維持在低水準至36天,但在10 mg/kg劑量組中,低密度脂蛋白水準自第24天開始回升,到第28天已恢復至給藥前水準 (圖20A及20B)。所以與參照抗體BMK.115相比,18.156.8可更長時間地將低密度脂蛋白維持在較低水準。 在10 mg/kg 及30 mg/kg的劑量組中,與注射前相比,40409 (hIgG4)分別使低密度膽固醇降低至32.2%及38.1%(圖20A及20B)。 18.156.8 (hIgG4)及40409 (hIgG4)抗體給藥的猴子中,無論10 mg/kg或30 mg/kg劑量組,高密度脂蛋白膽固醇水準在實驗過程中均沒有明顯變化。參照抗體BMK.115給藥的猴子中,10 mg/kg劑量組的猴子的高密度膽固醇水準無明顯變化,但30 mg/kg劑量組的高密度膽固醇水準與給要前相比降低了30% (圖21A及21B)。 5.1.2實驗2:10隻3-4歲的雌性食蟹猴,體重在2.5至3.5公斤之間,隨機分為10組(每組1隻)。10組猴子分別進行單次靜脈注射3 mg/kg或10 mg/kg劑量的Repatha或15.14.2、17.72.3、18.136.7或19.3.8抗體。給藥當天定義為第一天。每組猴子給藥後觀測36天。 備註:在本實驗中,「劑量水準」及「劑量」互換使用。a 除非另有說明書,否則劑量代表活性成分。 抗體15.14.2、17.72.3、18.136.7及19.3.8在食蟹猴中降低低密度膽固醇療效。 食蟹猴分別按3 mg/kg 及10 mg/kg的劑量給藥後,抗體15.14.2及Repatha可快速且持久地降低低密度脂蛋白膽固醇及總膽固醇含量(圖22A及22B)。抗體18.136.7在3 mg/kg及10 mg/kg劑量組中,亦使低密度膽固醇有顯著降低(~50%)。17.72.3及19.3.8在10 mg/kg劑量組中使低密度膽固醇有少量降低。 在3 mg/kg及10 mg/kg的劑量組中,與給藥前相比,Repatha分別使低密度膽固醇降低至80%及77%;15.14.2在兩個劑量組均使低密度膽固醇降低至77%。最大降低量在第8-16天到達。在10 mg/kg劑量組中,注射了15.14.2的猴子的低密度膽固醇一直維持在很低水準,直至偵測結束。而對照抗體Repatha給藥的猴子的低密度脂蛋白水準自第24天開始回升,到第36天已恢復至給藥前水準(圖22A及22B)。在3 mg/kg劑量組中,Repatha給藥的猴子的低密度脂蛋白水準第12天開始回升至80%,到第20天已恢復至給藥前水準。15.14.2給藥的猴子到第28天低密度膽固醇水準仍維持在給藥前50%以下。所以與Repatha相比,在3 mg/kg 及10 mg/kg兩個劑量組中,15.14.2均可更長時間地將低密度脂蛋白維持在較低水準。 高密度脂蛋白膽固醇在所有給藥的猴子中均沒有明顯變化(圖23 A及23B)。 5.2藥代動力學 藉由測定動物血清中的BMK.115、18.156.8、40409、15.14.2、17.72.3、18.136.7、19.3.8濃度以獲得體內藥物暴露水準。自所有存活的食蟹猴採集0小時(給藥前),及給藥後0.5、1、2、4、24、48、96、168、336、504、672、744及840小時的血樣。 自動物的頭靜脈或股靜脈採集約2mL全血,置於無抗凝劑的採血管中。血樣採集後常溫靜置至少30分鐘。約4℃下2000 g離心10分鐘獲取血清(血樣採集後2小時內完成)。血清轉移至貼有標籤的聚丙烯樣品管中。立即垂直放入乾冰中速凍,然後保存在 ≤-60°的超低溫冰箱中。 在藥代動力學偵測前,將血清樣品迅速解凍。用Na2 CO3 /NaHCO3

血清中抗體的濃度用ELISA偵測(圖24及25)。由0至840小時血清中抗體濃度計算得到的BMK.115, 18.156.8(hIgG4)、40409(hIgG4)的C0 值及AUC0 - 840h ,以及抗體半衰期見表10。 劑量自10 mg/kg增加至30 mg/kg時,18.156.8及40409的藥物暴露水準(AUC0 - 840h 及/或C0 )成比例增加,但BMK.115的藥物暴露水準增加與劑量的增加不成正比。 表10.藥代動力學資料I 由0至840小時血清中抗體濃度計算得到的Repatha、15.14.2、17.72.3、18.136.7及19.3.8的C0 值及AUC0 - 840h ,以及抗體半衰期見表11。在3 mg/kg及10 mg/kg兩個劑量組,抗體15.14.2、17.72.3、18.136.7及19.3.8的半衰期均長於Repatha。 劑量自10 mg/kg增加至30 mg/kg時,Repatha、15.14.2、17.72.3、18.136.7及19.3.8的藥物暴露水準(AUC0 - 840h 及/或C0 )均成比例增加。 表11. 藥代動力學資料II 5.3免疫原性 自動物的頭靜脈或股靜脈採集0小時(給藥前), 及給藥後336、672、840小時的血樣。 用Na2 CO3 /NaHCO3 緩衝液稀釋抗體115、18.156.8及40409後鋪板(NUNC),4度培育隔夜。用0.1% Tween-PBS洗板後加入2% BSA/PBS封閉。將PBS稀釋的猴子血清加入酶標板中室溫培育1小時。洗板後加入山羊抗食蟹猴IgG-HRP(與人IgG無交叉反應)培育。洗板後加入TMB受質,待顯色後用2M HCl終止。在450nm波長下讀取每孔吸光值。 抗體BMK.115, 18.156.8 (hIgG4) 及40409 (hIgG4)的免疫原性偵測結果見圖26。在給藥後336、672、840小時的猴子血清中,針對BMK.115、18.156.8 (hIgG4)、40409 (hIgG4) 的抗抗體的滴度與給藥前沒有明顯差異,說明單次注射10 mg/ml或30 mg/ml劑量的BMK.115、18.156.8 (hIgG4)或40409 (hIgG4) 抗體引起的免疫原性很低。 抗體Repatha、15.14.2、17.72.3、18.136.7及19.3.8的免疫原性偵測結果見圖27。在給藥後336、672、840小時的猴子血清中,針對Repatha、15.14.2、17.72.3、18.136.7、19.3.8的抗抗體的滴度與給藥前無明顯差異,說明單次注射10 mg/ml或30 mg/ml劑量之Repatha、15.14.2、17.72.3、18.136.7或19.3.8抗體引起的免疫原性很低。 5.4毒性 死亡/瀕死: 實驗期間每天2次報導各動物之健康狀態,上午1次下午1次,除動物到達設施及解剖當天動物檢查1次。 在整個實驗過程中動物無計劃外死亡。

Therefore, the specific modifications discussed here should not be construed as limiting the scope of the application. Those skilled in the art can easily obtain various equivalents, changes, and modifications without departing from the scope of the present application. It should be understood that such equivalent embodiments are included in the scope of the present invention. All documents cited in this application, including published publications, patents and patent applications, are incorporated by reference in their entirety.definition The term "antibody" in the present invention includes any immunoglobulin, monoclonal antibody, polyclonal antibody, multispecific antibody, or bispecific (bivalent) antibody that can bind to a specific antigen. A natural intact antibody contains two heavy chains and two light chains. Each heavy chain is composed of a variable region and the first, second, and third constant regions; each light chain is composed of a variable region and a constant region. Mammalian heavy chains can be divided into α, δ, ε, γ, and μ, and mammalian light chains can be divided into λ or κ. The antibody is of "Y" type, and the neck of the "Y" type structure is composed of the second and third constant regions of two heavy chains, which are bound by disulfide bonds. Each arm of the "Y" structure includes one of the variable region of the heavy chain and the first constant region, which is combined with the variable and constant regions of a light chain. The variable regions of the light and heavy chains determine antigen binding. The variable region of each chain contains three hypervariable regions, called complementarity determining regions (CDRs) (CDRs of the light chain (L) include LCDR1, LCDR2, LCDR3, and CDRs of the heavy chain (H) include HCDR1, HCDR2, HCDR3) . The CDR boundaries of the antibodies and antigen-binding fragments disclosed in the present invention can be named or identified by Kabat, Chothia, or Al-Lazikani nomenclature. (Al-Lazikani, B., Chothia, C., Lesk, AM, J. Mol. Biol., 273 (4), 927 (1997); Chothia, C. et al., J Mol Biol. Dec 5; 186 ( 3): 651-63 (1985); Chothia, C. and Lesk, AM, J. Mol. Biol., 196,901 (1987); Chothia, C. et al., Nature. Dec 21-28; 342 (6252): 877-83 (1989); Kabat EA et al., National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md. (1991)). Among them, three CDRs are separated by a side continuous portion called a framework region (FR). The framework region is more highly conserved than the CDR and forms a scaffold to support the hypervariable loop. The constant regions of the heavy and light chains have nothing to do with antigen binding, but have multiple effector functions. Antibodies can be classified into several classes based on the amino acid sequence of the constant region of the heavy chain. Depending on whether they contain α, δ, ε, γ, and μ heavy chains, antibodies can be divided into five main classifications or isomers: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM. Several major antibody classifications can also be divided into subclasses, such as IgG1 (γ1 heavy chain), IgG2 (γ2 heavy chain), IgG3 (γ3 heavy chain), IgG4 (γ4 heavy chain), IgA1 (α1 heavy chain), or IgA2 (α2 heavy chain) and the like. The term "antigen-binding fragment" as used herein refers to an antibody fragment formed from an antibody portion containing one or more CDRs or any other antibody fragment that binds an antigen but does not have a complete antibody structure. Examples of antigen-binding fragments include, but are not limited to, such as diabody, Fab, Fab ', F (ab')2 , Fv fragment, disulfide-stabilized Fv fragment (dsFv), (dsFv)2 , Bispecific dsFv (dsFv-dsFv '), disulfide-stabilized bifunctional antibody (ds diabody), single chain antibody molecule (scFv), scFv dimer (bivalent bifunctional antibody), bivalent single chain Antibodies (BsFv), multispecific antibodies, camelized single domain antibodies, nanobodies, domain antibodies, and bivalent domain antibodies. The antigen-binding fragment can bind the same antigen as the parent antibody. In some embodiments, the antigen-binding fragment may contain one or more CDRs from a specific human antibody, and is transferred to a framework region from one or more different human antibodies. The "Fab" fragment of an antibody refers to the portion of an antibody molecule that is composed of a light chain (including a variable region and a constant region) and a variable region and a constant region of a heavy chain that are bound by disulfide bonds. A "Fab '" fragment refers to a Fab fragment that includes a portion of the hinge region. "F (ab ')2 "Means a dimer of Fab. The "Fc" of an antibody refers to the portion of the antibody consisting of the second and third constant regions of the heavy chain bound via a disulfide bond. The Fc portion of the antibody is responsible for many different effector functions such as ADCC and CDC, but does not participate in antigen binding. The "Fv" segment of an antibody refers to the smallest antibody fragment that contains a complete antigen-binding site. The Fv fragment consists of a variable region of a light chain and a variable region of a heavy chain. "Single-chain Fv antibody" or "scFv" refers to an engineered antibody in which the light chain variable region and the heavy chain variable region are directly connected or connected via a peptide chain (Huston JS et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 85 : 5879 (1988)). "Single-chain antibody Fv-Fc" or "scFv-Fc" refers to an engineered antibody composed of scFv linked to the Fc segment of an antibody. "Camelized single domain antibody," "heavy chain antibody," or "HCAb (Heavy-chain-only antibodies, HCAb)" all mean two VH Domain without light chain antibodies (Riechmann L. and Muyldermans S., J Immunol Methods. December 10; 231 (1-2): 25-38 (1999); Muyldermans S., J Biotechnol. June; 74 (4): 277-302 (2001); WO94 / 04678; WO94 / 25591; U.S. Patent No. 6,005,079). Heavy chain antibodies were originally derived from the camel family (camel, dromedary, and llama). Although the light chain is missing, camelized antibodies have a proven function of antigen binding (Hamers-Casterman C. et al., Nature. June 3; 363 (6428): 446-8 (1993); Nguyen VK. Et al., "Heavy-chain antibodies in Camelidae; a case of evolutionary innovation," Immunogenetics. April; 54 (1): 39-47 (2002); Nguyen VK. Et al., Immunology. May; 109 (1) : 93-101 (2003)). The variable region (VHH domain) of a heavy chain antibody is the smallest known binding unit produced by acquired immunity (Koch-Nolte F. et al., FASEB J. Nov; 21 (13): 3490-8. Electronic version June 15, 2007 (2007)). "Nano antibody" refers to an antibody fragment consisting of a VHH domain from a heavy chain antibody and two constant regions, CH2 and CH3. A "diabody" includes a small antibody fragment with two antigen-binding sites, where the fragment contains Vs linked on the same polypeptide chainH Domain and VL Domain (VH -VL Or VH -VL ) (See, Holliger P. et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. July 15; 90 (14): 6444-8 (1993); EP404097; WO93 / 11161). The adapter between the two domains is so short that the two domains on the same chain cannot be paired with each other, forcing the two domains to pair with the complementary domains of the other chain to form two antibody binding sites. These two antibody binding sites can be targeted to bind the same or different antigens (or epitopes of the antigen). A "domain antibody" refers to an antibody fragment that contains only one heavy chain variable region or one light chain variable region. In some cases, two or more VH Domains are covalently bound by a polypeptide adapter and form a bivalent domain antibody. Two Vs of a bivalent domain antibodyH Domains can target the same or different antigens. In some embodiments, "(dsFv)2 "Contains three peptide chains: two VH The groups are connected by a peptide adaptor, and are connected to two Vs by a disulfide bond.L Group bonding. In certain embodiments, a "bispecific ds bifunctional antibody" contains VL1 -VH2 (Connected by a peptide adapter) and VH1 -VL2 (Also connected by a peptide adapter), the two are at VH1 And VL1 It is bound by disulfide bonds. "Bispecific dsFv" or "dsFv-dsFv" contains three polypeptide chains: VH1 -VH2 Group, in which the heavy chain of the two is connected by a peptide linker (such as a long elastic linker), and each is linked to V by a disulfide bondL1 And VL2 Group binding, each pair of heavy chain light chains paired by disulfide bonds has different antigen specificity. In some embodiments, the "scFv dimer" is a bivalent bifunctional antibody or a bivalent single chain antibody (BsFv), which contains two dimerized Vs.H -VL (Connected by a peptide adaptor) a group in which the V of one of the groupsH V with another groupL Cooperate to form two binding sites. These two binding sites can be targeted to bind the same antigen (or epitope of an antigen) or different antigens (or epitopes of an antigen). In other embodiments, the "scFv dimer" is a bispecific bifunctional antibody that contains interconnected VL1 -VH2 (Connected by peptide adapter) and VH1 -VL2 (Connected by a peptide adaptor), where VH1 And VL1 Collaboration, VH2 And VL2 Collaboration, and each collaboration has a different antigen specificity. As used in this application, the term "fully human" when used in an antibody or antigen-binding fragment means that the antibody or antigen-binding fragment has a certain amino acid sequence or consists of the amino acid sequence, and the amino group The acid sequence corresponds to the amino acid sequence of an antibody produced by a human or human immune cell or derived from a non-human source such as a transgenic non-human animal using a human antibody library, or another sequence encoding a human-derived antibody. In certain embodiments, fully human antibodies do not contain amino acid residues (especially antigen-binding residues) derived from non-human antibodies. The term "humanized" as used in this application, when used in antibodies or antigen-binding fragments, refers to CDRs derived from non-human animals, FR regions derived from humans, and constant regions derived from humans (when applicable) ) Antibodies or antigen-binding fragments. Because humanized antibodies or antigen-binding fragments have reduced immunogenicity, they can be used as human therapeutics in certain embodiments. In some embodiments, the non-human animal is a mammal such as a mouse, rat, rabbit, goat, sheep, guinea pig or hamster. In some embodiments, the humanized antibody or antigen-binding fragment consists essentially of human-derived sequences except that the CDR sequences are of non-human origin. In some embodiments, the human-derived FR region may include the same amino acid sequence as the human antibody from which it is derived, or it may include some amino acid changes, for example, no more than 10, 9, 8, 7, , 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 amino acid change. In some embodiments, the amino acid alteration may be present only in the heavy chain FR region, only in the light chain FR region, or in both chains. In some preferred embodiments, the humanized antibodies include human-derived FR1-3 and human-derived JH and Jκ. The term "chimeric" as used in this application refers to an antibody or antigen-binding fragment having a portion of the heavy and / or light chain derived from one species and the rest of the heavy and / or light chain derived from a different species . In an illustrative example, a chimeric antibody may include a constant region derived from a human and a variable region derived from a non-human animal, such as a mouse. The "PCSK9" used in the present application refers to the preprotein converting enzyme subtilisin Kexin type 9, which is a natural human preprotein converting enzyme belonging to the protease K subfamily of the secreted subtilisin family. PCSK9 is synthesized as lysogen, undergoes autocatalytic intramolecular processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, and is considered to function as a preprotein converting enzyme. PCSK9 plays a key role in regulating cholesterol levels in the blood. PCSK9's functionally acquired (such as S127R, F216L, and D374Y) mutations may be associated with an autosomal dominant familial hypercholesterolemia, in which PCSK9 mutations raise LDL receptor levels (see, for example, Burnett and Hooper, Clin Biochem Rev (2008) 29 (1): 11-26, Benjannet et al. J. Biol. Chem., (2004) 279 (47): 48865-48875 and Fasano T et al., Atherosclerosis. (2009) 203 (1): 166 -71). A representative amino acid sequence of human-derived PCSK9 is disclosed by GenBank accession number NP_777596.2, and a representative nucleic acid sequence encoding the human-derived PCSK9 is disclosed by GenBank accession number FJ525880.1. In certain embodiments, the term PCSK9 includes post-translationally modified PCSK9 disclosures of the PCSK9 amino acid sequence, such as glycosylated, PEGylated PCSK9 sequences, PCSK9 sequences with their signal sequences cleaved, or autocatalytic domains The PCSK9 sequence is cleaved off from its pro domain but is not separated from the catalytic domain. "LDL-C" used herein refers to low density lipoprotein cholesterol, and "HDL-C" refers to high density lipoprotein cholesterol. LDL and HDL belong to 5 major lipoprotein groups: chylomicrons, very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL), low density lipoprotein and high density lipoprotein (HDL) (in order of arrogance) Granules to the most dense (smallest particles). LDL (particle-containing "bad" cholesterol) is able to transport lipid / sterol molecules such as cholesterol (ie LDL-C) to the arterial wall, attracting macrophages and thus inducing arteries Atherosclerosis. In contrast, HDL (particles containing "good" cholesterol) can automatically remove lipid molecules, such as cholesterol (ie HDL-C), from macrophages on the vein wall. Therefore, a high level of LDL-C is the heart Major risks of vascular disease (CVD), such as peripheral arterial disease, coronary artery disease (CAD, such as angina pectoris, myocardial infarction (commonly known as heart disease), hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia), arteries Atherosclerosis, Stroke, Hypertensive heart disease, Rheumatic heart disease, Cardiomyopathy, Arrhythmia, Congenital heart disease, Heart valve disease, Myocarditis, Aortic aneurysm, Peripheral artery disease, Obesity, Hepatobiliary disease, Kidney disease syndrome, Hypothyroidism Venous thrombosis. "LDL-R" or "LDL receptor" used in this application is a cell surface chimeric protein with 839 amino acids (after removing 21 signal peptides of amino acids), which mediates LDL-C is endocytosed and LDL-C is removed from the blood. A representative amino acid sequence of human LDL-R is disclosed by GenBank accession number P01130.1, and it encodes a representative mRNA nucleic acid of human LDL-R The sequence is revealed by GenBank accession number NM_000527.4. When PCSK9 binds to the LDL receptor, the antibody is destroyed and LDL-C cannot be removed from the blood. Conversely, when PCSK9 is blocked, there will be More LDL receptors and more LDL cholesterol will be removed from the blood. "Anti-PCSK9 antibody" used in this application refers to an antibody capable of specifically binding to PCSK9 (such as human or monkey PCSK9), which is sufficient to provide diagnosis and And / or affinity for therapeutic use. "Specific binding" or "specific binding" in this application refers to a non-random binding reaction between two molecules, such as a reaction between an antibody and an antigen. In some embodiments In the present application, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof specifically binds to human and / or monkey PCSK9. And binding affinity (KD ) ≤10-6 M (eg: ≤5 × 10-7 M, ≤2 × 10-7 M, ≤10-7 M, ≤5 × 10-8 M, ≤2 × 10-8 M, ≤10-8 M, ≤5 × 10-9 M, ≤2 × 10-9 M, ≤10-9 M, ≤10-10 M). KD in this application refers to the ratio (koff / kon) of dissociation speed to binding speed, which can be measured by the method of surface plasmon resonance, for example, using an instrument such as Biacore. The ability to "block binding" or "competitively identical epitopes" in this application means that the antibody or its antigen-binding fragment inhibits the interaction between two molecules (such as human PCSK9 and anti-PCSK9 antibodies) to Any detectable ability. In certain embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment that blocks binding between two molecules can inhibit the interaction between the binding between two molecules by at least 50%. In certain embodiments, such inhibition can be greater than 60%, greater than 70%, greater than 80%, or greater than 90%. The "antigenic determinant region" used in this application refers to the portion of the amino acid or atomic group of the antigen molecule that is bound to the antibody. If two antibodies show competitive binding to an antigen, they may bind the same epitope on the antigen. For example, if the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof provided in this application block exemplary antibodies, such as WBP3011-2.6.6, 11.4, 18.156.8, 15.14.2, 17.72.3, 18.136.7, 19.3.8, 40409 and humans For PCSK9 binding, the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof can be regarded as binding to the same epitope as their exemplified antibodies. The symbols used in the antibody names used in this application have different representative meanings: "hIgG4" refers to antibodies with a constant region of human IgG4 isotype; "uAb" refers to human antibodies, uAb1, uAb2, etc. refer to the human antibodies "K" or "L" means that the antibody uses a kappa light chain or a lambda light chain.

In the present application, when "conservative substitution" is used for an amino acid sequence, it means that one amino acid residue is replaced with another amino acid residue having a side chain with similar physicochemical properties. For example, between hydrophobic side chain amino acid residues (e.g. Met, Ala, Val, Leu and Ile), neutral hydrophilic side chain residues (e.g. Cys, Ser, Thr, Asn and Gln), acidic side chains Conservative substitutions are made between residues (such as Asp, Glu), basic side chain amino acids (such as His, Lys, and Arg) or directional side chain residues (such as Trp, Tyr, and Phe). It is known in the art that conservative substitutions usually do not cause significant changes in the conformational structure of the protein and are therefore capable of retaining the biological activity of the protein. When "percent sequence identity" is used for an amino acid sequence (or nucleic acid sequence), it refers to a candidate sequence after sequence alignment, and if necessary, introducing a gap to maximize the number of identical amino acids (or nucleic acids). In this example, the percentage of amino acid (or nucleic acid) residues in the candidate sequence is the same as that of the reference sequence. Conservative substitutions of the amino acid residues may or may not be considered the same residue.

Those skilled in the art will understand that the CDR sequences provided in Table 1 can be modified to include substitutions of one or more amino acids, thereby resulting in improved biological activity such as improved binding affinity to human PCSK9. For example, phage display technology can be used to produce and express a library of antibody variants (such as Fab or FcFv variants), followed by screening for antibodies that have an affinity for human PCSK9. In another example, computer software can be used to simulate the binding of the antibody to human PCSK9 and identify amino acid residues on the antibody that form the binding interface.

The host cell is transformed with the expression or selection vector capable of producing anti-PCSK9 antibody as described above, and cultured in a conventional nutrient medium, which is modified to be suitable for inducing a promoter, selecting transformed cells, or for encoding purposes Sequence of genes. The host cells used to produce the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof in the present invention can be cultured in a variety of media. Commercially available media such as Ham's F10 (Sigma), minimum basic culture medium (MEM, (Sigma)), RPMI-1640 (Sigma), and Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM) (Sigma) can be used to culture the host cells. In addition, any of Ham et al., Meth. Enz. 58:44 (1979), Barnes et al., Anal. Biochem. 102: 255 (1980), U.S. Patent Nos. 4,767,704; 4,657,866; 4,927,762; 4,560,655; or 5,122,469; WO 90 / 03430; WO 87/00195; or the medium described in US Patent Application Re. 30,985 can be used as a medium for the host cell. These media can be supplemented with necessary hormones and / or other growth factors (such as insulin, transferrin or epidermal growth factor), salts (such as sodium chloride, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, and phosphate), and buffers (such as HEPES), nucleotides (such as adenylate and thymine), antibiotics (such as gentamicin), trace elements (defined as inorganic compounds whose final concentration is usually in the micromolar range), and glucose or equivalent energy source. The medium may also contain any other necessary additives at appropriate concentrations known in the art. The conditions of the medium, such as temperature, pH, and the like, are the conditions previously used to select host cells for expression, and are well known to those skilled in the art. When using recombinant technology, the antibodies can be produced intracellularly, in the parietal space, or secreted directly into the culture medium. If the antibody is produced intracellularly, the host cell or particle debris of the lysed fragment is first removed, for example, by centrifugation or ultrasound. Carter et al., Bio / Technology 10: 163-167 (1992) describe a method for isolating antibodies secreted into the membrane space of E. coli. In short, the cell paste was opened in the presence of sodium acetate (pH 3.5), EDTA, and benzylsulfonium fluoride (PMSF) for about 30 minutes or more. Centrifuge to remove cell debris. If the antibody is secreted into the culture medium, a commercially available protein concentration filter, such as Amicon or Millipore Pellicon ultrafiltration unit, is usually first used to concentrate the supernatant of the performance system. Protease inhibitors such as PMSF can be added in any of the foregoing steps to inhibit protein degradation and antibiotics to prevent the growth of accidental contaminants. Antibodies produced from the cells can be purified using purification methods such as hydroxyapatite chromatography, gel electrophoresis, dialysis, DEAE-cellulose ion exchange chromatography columns, ammonium sulfate precipitation, salting out, and affinity chromatography Among them, affinity chromatography is the preferred purification technique. The type of antibody and the presence of any immunoglobulin Fc domain in the antibody determine whether protein A is suitable as an affinity ligand. Protein A can be used for purification of antibodies based on human γ1, γ2 or γ4 heavy chains (Lindmark et al., J. Immunol. Meth. 62: 1-13 (1983)). Protein G is suitable for all murine isomers and human gamma 3 (Guss et al., EMBO J. 5: 1567 1575 (1986)). Agarose is the most commonly used affinity ligand attachment matrix, but other matrices are also available. Mechanically stable matrices such as controlled-porosity glass or poly (styrene) benzene can achieve faster flow rates and shorter processing times than with agarose. If the antibody contains a CH3 domain, it can be purified using Bakerbond ABX.TM resin (J. T. Baker, Phillipsburg, N.J.). Other protein purification techniques such as fractionation in ion exchange columns, reversed-phase HPLC, silica gel chromatography, anion or cation exchange resin-based heparin agarose gel chromatography (such as Polyaspartic acid column), chromatography focus, SDS-PAGE, and ammonium sulfate precipitation. After any preliminary purification steps, low pH hydrophobic interaction chromatography can be used to treat mixtures containing antibodies and impurities of interest, using a wash buffer pH of about 2.5-4.5, preferably at low salt concentrations (e.g., (0 to 0.25 M salt concentration).Set The application provides a kit comprising the anti-PCSK9 antibody and its antigen-binding fragment.

After the plate was washed and closed, 200 μl of blocking solution 1 × PBS / 2% BSA was added to each well, and incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. A 100-fold dilution of rat serum was added to the starting well, and then a serial gradient dilution of 3 times with the blocking solution was performed, and the mixture was incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. After washing the plate, a HRP enzyme-labeled secondary antibody mixture (Bethyl) of goat anti-rat IgG1 and goat anti-rat IgG2b was added, and incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. After washing the plate, the TMB receptor color developing solution was added, and then the color development was stopped with 2M hydrochloric acid.

These hybridoma cell lines were screened for further competitive experiments. 104 hybridoma cells were screened by competitive ELISA, and the secreted antibodies could block the binding of human PCSK9 to human LDL-R. These antibodies capable of binding the antigen and having a blocking function were purified from the supernatant of the hybridoma cells. At the same time, these hybridoma cell lines were sub-selected. The secondary breeding was detected by binding and competition ELISA, and its subtypes were identified. Purified antibodies were subjected to cellular LDL uptake experiments. Binding and blocking activity will also be further detected by purified antibodies. The final candidate pure line was selected based on the binding affinity, the ability to block PCSK9 from binding to LDL-R, and the ability to restore cellular LDL absorption. 2.5 Sub-colonization of hybridoma cells The selected hybridoma cell lines were plated into 96-well plates at a density of 0.5, 1 and 5 cells per well.

The heavy and light chain plasmids were transfected into HEK293 cells for antibody expression. The cell supernatant was collected by centrifugation. The antibodies were purified with Protein A (MabSelect SuRe, GE), and the purified antibodies were dialyzed into PBS. Antibody concentration was by Nanodrop. The purity of the protein was detected by SDS-PAGE (Invitrogen, NuPAGE 4% -12% Bis-Tris Gel) and HPLC-SEC (Agilent). 3.3 Affinity maturation A saturated mutation library of 11.4 heavy chain CDR3 region was constructed and screened by ELISA method. Compared with the original pure lines, single-point mutations were selected to improve the affinity of PCSK9. The selected mutation sites were constructed into a combinatorial library. ELISA binding experiment and SPR koff Sort the results and pick out mutation combinations with improved affinity. Using the 11.4 sequence as a template, two random mutation libraries were constructed. By performing two rounds of panning and screening on the library, mutations that can improve affinity are selected and combined with mutations obtained from the saturated mutation library, thereby further improving the affinity of the antibody. A saturated mutation library of 11.4 heavy chain CDR3 region was constructed and screened by ELISA method. Compared to the original pure line, a single point mutation selected a pure line with improved affinity for PCSK9 (Figure 1). The selected mutation sites were constructed into a combinatorial library. ELISA binding experiment and SPR koff Sort the results and pick out mutation combinations with improved affinity. A combination of mutations at the three sites of the CDR3 region can increase affinity 10-fold, such as pure lines B4G2 and C1B4 (see Table 3). Table 3. Affinity of antibodies after affinity maturation Using the 11.4 sequence as a template, two random mutation libraries were constructed. Two rounds of panning and screening of this library were performed to obtain five mutations that could improve affinity.

Antibody to PCSK9 binding activity table 6. Blocking activity 4.2 LDL absorption experiment: HepG2 or Huh-7 cells were treated with 10% FBS in DMEM at 1 × 10 per well.5 The density was inoculated into a 96-well plate and placed in a 37 ° C incubator. The next day, the DMEM medium containing 10% FBS was replaced with a serum-free medium, and wild-type PCSK9 or variant PCSK9 (D374Y) was mixed with a series of concentration-diluted antibodies and added to the corresponding wells, and incubated at 37 ° C. 1 hour. The final concentrations of wild-type PCSK9 and variant PCSK9 (D374Y) were 20 μg / ml and 1.3 μg / ml, respectively. Bodipy fluorescently labeled LDL (Invitrogen L-3483) was added to a 96-well plate to a final concentration of 1.5 μg / ml. After incubating in a 37 ° C incubator for 3 hours, the 96-well plate was taken out, the culture medium containing LDL was discarded, and the cells were collected by trypsinization and washed twice. The intracellular fluorescence was detected by FACS, and the intensity of the fluorescence was indicative of the amount of LDL absorbed. The recovery rate of LDL absorption is calculated by the following formula: LDL absorption recovery rate (%) = (MFIsample -MFILDL + Ag1H ) / (MFILDL-MFILDL + Ag1H ) × 100%. In the presence of wild-type and mutant PCSK9, LDL absorption activity was tested on antibodies 18.156.8 and 40409 on HepG2 and Huh-7 cells (see Figures 16 and 17), and IC50 values are shown in Table 7. Experiments have shown that, in the presence of wild-type or mutant PCSK9, antibodies 18.156.8 and 40409 can effectively restore the ability of HepG2 and Huh-7 cells to absorb LDL. In the presence of wild-type PCSK9, LDL absorption activity was tested on antibodies 15.14.2, 17.72.3, and 19.3.8 on HepG2 cells (Figure 18). The IC50 values are shown in Table 8. The experiment demonstrated the presence of wild-type PCSK9 Under the conditions, antibodies 15.14.2, 17.72.3 and 19.3.8 can effectively restore the ability of HepG2 cells to absorb LDL. Table 7.

IC50 of antibodies to restore LDL uptake by HepG2 cells 4.3 Kinetic Affinity 4.3.1 Detection of Binding Kinetic Constants Using SPR Technology Biacore T200 (GE) was used to detect the binding affinity constants of antibodies to human PCSK9 and rhesus PCSK9. Replenish the antibody to be tested using Protein A or anti-IgG Fc antibody-conjugated chips. Then, different concentrations of human-derived PCSK9 or rhesus PCSK9 were injected into the sensor chip, and the injection speed was 30 μl / min. The sample binding time was 180 s and the dissociation time was 1200 s. After each antigen binding, use 2 M MgCl2 Regeneration chip. The final binding dissociation curve is the result of subtracting the reference channel Fc1 and the buffer channel signals. The experimental data were fitted using a 1: 1 Langmiur model. The molecular weight used in the calculation of PCSK9 Molar was 85 KDa. 4.3.2 Binding reaction with rhesus PCSK9 protein The mouse anti-His tag antibody (Genscript) was diluted to 1 μg / ml with a coating solution of pH 9.2, added to a 96-well microtiter plate, and incubated overnight at 4 ° C. . After the plate was blocked, the Rhesus PCSK9-His (Sino Biological) protein was added at a concentration of 1 μg / ml and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature. After washing the plate, add the test antibody and incubate for 1 hour at room temperature. After washing the plate, a goat anti-rat IgG1 and goat anti-rat IgGb HRP enzyme-labeled secondary antibody (Bethyl) mixture was added and incubated at room temperature for 45 minutes. Finally, the TMB receptor color developing solution was added. After the reaction, the color development was stopped with 2M hydrochloric acid, and then the absorbance at 450 nm was read using a microplate reader (Molecular Device). SPR experiments were used to detect the kinetic binding constants of the antibodies. The binding affinity of the antibody to human-derived PCSK9 and monkey-derived PCSK9 is shown in Table 9. Table 9. Kinetic constants of antibody binding to human-derived PCSK9 and monkey-derived PCSK9 4.4 Detection of antibody stability in serum After the test antibody is diluted with freshly separated human serum (serum content> 95%), it is incubated in a 37 ° C incubator for 0, 1, 3, 7, and 14 days, respectively. At the end of each time, after removing the sample from the 37 ° C incubator, it was quickly frozen in an ethanol-dry ice bath and the sample was stored in a -80 ° C refrigerator. Remove the sample and dissolve it quickly before the stability test. 96-well microtiter plate with Na2 CO3 / NaHCO3 (pH 9.2) coated with streptavidin diluted in buffer, and placed in a refrigerator at 4 ° C. The next day, 96-well plates were washed with 0.1% PBST and blocked with 2% BSA / PBS for 1 hour before adding biotin-labeled PCSK9. After 1 hour incubation at room temperature, the samples were washed and a series of concentration-diluted samples were added. After 1 hour incubation at room temperature, washing was performed, and HRP-labeled goat anti-human IgG antibody was added. Incubate at room temperature for 1 hour, wash, add TMB substrate, and stop with 2M HCl after color development. The absorbance at a wavelength of 450 nm was read with a microplate reader (Molecular Device). After the antibodies were incubated in 37-degree human serum, their binding activity to PCSK9 was detected by ELISA (see Figure 19). Antibodies 18.156.8 and B4G2 were incubated in serum for 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, and 14 days, and the binding activity was the same as that of unincubated antibodies, indicating that 18.156.8 and B4G2 can be stably present in human serum at least 14 at 37 degrees day. The antibodies 15.14.2, 17.72.3 and 19.3.8 had the same binding activity as the unincubated antibodies after 3 days incubation in serum. This indicates that the antibody can be stably present in the serum for at least 3 days.Examples 5 :Animal experiment 5.1 Effect of a single injection in cynomolgus monkeys Using LDLC and HDLC3 kits (Roche) to detect low density lipoprotein cholesterol LDL-C and high density lipoprotein cholesterol HDL-C in monkey serum on the Roche / Hitachi cobas c system concentration. Total cholesterol TCHO was detected with cholesterol FS kit (DiaSys). 5.1.1 Experiment 1: Six female cynomolgus monkeys aged 3-4, weighing between 2.6 and 2.9 kg, were randomly divided into 6 groups (1 in each group). Six groups of monkeys received a single intravenous injection of BMK.115 or 18.156.8 (hIgG4) or 40409 (hIgG4) antibody at a dose of 10 mg / kg or 30 mg / kg, respectively. The day of dosing was defined as the first day. The monkeys in each group were observed for 36 days after administration. Note: In this experiment, "dose level" and "dose" are used interchangeably.a Unless stated otherwise, dosages represent the active ingredient. Efficacy of antibodies 18.156.8 and 40409 in reducing low-density cholesterol in cynomolgus monkeys. After cynomolgus monkeys were administered at the doses of 10 mg / kg and 30 mg / kg, respectively, antibodies BMK.115 and W301-18.156.8 can quickly and persistently reduce the content of low density lipoprotein cholesterol and total cholesterol. In the 10 mg / kg and 30 mg / kg dose groups, compared with before injection, BMK.115 reduced LDL to 83.4% and 89.6%, respectively; 18.156.8 reduced LDL to 79.5% and 83.5%. The maximum reduction was reached on the eighth day. Until the end of detection, the low-density cholesterol of monkeys injected with 18.156.8 remained at a very low level regardless of the 10 mg / kg or 30 mg / kg dose group; the control antibody BMK.115 was only in the 30 mg / kg dose group The LDL level can be maintained at a low level to 36 days, but in the 10 mg / kg dose group, the LDL level began to rise from the 24th day and returned to the pre-dose level by the 28th day (Figure) 20A and 20B). Therefore, compared with the reference antibody BMK.115, 18.156.8 can maintain low-density lipoprotein at a lower level for a longer time. In the 10 mg / kg and 30 mg / kg dose groups, 40409 (hIgG4) reduced low-density cholesterol to 32.2% and 38.1%, respectively, compared to before injection (Figures 20A and 20B). 18.156.8 (hIgG4) and 40409 (hIgG4) antibody administered to monkeys, no matter the 10 mg / kg or 30 mg / kg dose group, the level of HDL cholesterol did not change significantly during the experiment. Among monkeys administered with the reference antibody BMK.115, the HDL level of the monkeys in the 10 mg / kg dose group did not change significantly, but the HDL level of the 30 mg / kg dose group was reduced by 30% compared with before administration (Figures 21A and 21B). 5.1.2 Experiment 2: Ten female cynomolgus monkeys aged 3-4, weighing between 2.5 and 3.5 kg, were randomly divided into 10 groups (1 in each group). Ten groups of monkeys received a single intravenous injection of 3 mg / kg or 10 mg / kg of Repatha or 15.14.2, 17.72.3, 18.136.7, or 19.3.8 antibodies, respectively. The day of dosing was defined as the first day. The monkeys in each group were observed for 36 days after administration. Note: In this experiment, "dose level" and "dose" are used interchangeably.a Unless stated otherwise, dosages represent the active ingredient. Antibodies 15.14.2, 17.72.3, 18.136.7, and 19.3.8 were effective in reducing low-density cholesterol in cynomolgus monkeys. After cynomolgus monkeys were administered at doses of 3 mg / kg and 10 mg / kg, respectively, antibodies 15.14.2 and Repatha reduced LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol quickly and persistently (Figures 22A and 22B). Antibody 18.136.7 also significantly reduced low-density cholesterol (~ 50%) in the 3 mg / kg and 10 mg / kg dose groups. 17.72.3 and 19.3.8 reduced the LDL cholesterol slightly in the 10 mg / kg dose group. In the 3 mg / kg and 10 mg / kg dose groups, Repatha reduced LDL to 80% and 77%, respectively, compared to before administration; 15.14.2 reduced LDL in both dose groups To 77%. The maximum reduction is reached on days 8-16. In the 10 mg / kg dose group, the low-density cholesterol of monkeys injected with 15.24.2 remained at a very low level until the end of detection. The low-density lipoprotein level of monkeys administered with the control antibody Repatha started to rise from the 24th day, and returned to the pre-dose level by the 36th day (Figures 22A and 22B). In the 3 mg / kg dose group, the low-density lipoprotein level of monkeys administered Repatha began to rise to 80% on the 12th day, and returned to the pre-dose level on the 20th day. 15.14.2 Low-density cholesterol levels remained below 50% of the pre-dose monkeys by day 28. Therefore, compared with Repatha, in both the 3 mg / kg and 10 mg / kg dose groups, 15.24.2 can maintain the LDL at a lower level for a longer time. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol did not change significantly in all monkeys administered (Figures 23 A and 23B). 5.2 Pharmacokinetics By measuring the concentrations of BMK.115, 18.156.8, 40409, 15.14.2, 17.72.3, 18.136.7, 19.3.8 in animal serum to obtain the level of drug exposure in vivo. Blood samples were collected from all surviving cynomolgus monkeys for 0 hours (before dosing) and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 24, 48, 96, 168, 336, 504, 672, 744, and 840 hours after dosing. Approximately 2 mL of whole blood was collected from the cephalic or femoral veins of the animal and placed in an anticoagulant-free blood collection tube. Allow blood samples to stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes after collection. Centrifuge at 2000 g for 10 minutes at approximately 4 ° C to obtain serum (completed within 2 hours after blood sample collection). The serum was transferred to a labeled polypropylene sample tube. Immediately put it into dry ice and freeze it vertically, then store it in an ultra-low temperature refrigerator ≤-60 °. Thaw serum samples quickly before pharmacokinetic detection. With Na2 CO3 / NaHCO3 After the goat anti-human polyclonal antibodies were diluted with the buffer solution, the enzyme-labeled detection plate was coated and incubated overnight at 4 ° C. After washing the plate with 0.1% Tween-PBS, block with 2% BSA / PBS. The diluted cynomolgus monkey serum samples were added to the microtiter plate and incubated for one hour at room temperature. After washing the plates, biotin-labeled goat anti-human IgG antibody and streptavidin-HRP were added to the enzyme-labeled plates, and incubated at room temperature for one hour. TMB was added to the substrate and it was stopped with 2M HCl after color development. The absorbance of each well was read at a wavelength of 450 nm. The antibody concentration in the serum was calculated from the standard curve. Pharmacokinetic parameters include, but are not limited to, initial serum concentrations (C0 ) And the area under the blood concentration-time curve (AUC) from 0 hours to 840 hours after administration0-840h ), Use the verified WinNonlin program (PharsightVersion 6.2.1) for calculation. Calculate AUC using the non-atrial method's linear ascending / logarithmic descending trapezoidal rule0-840h , Limited to the animals treated. When calculating the average value, BLQ (below the quantitative value) is calculated as 0. The antibody concentration in the serum was detected by ELISA (Figures 24 and 25). BMK of 115, 18.156.8 (hIgG4), 40409 (hIgG4) calculated from antibody concentration in serum from 0 to 840 hours0 Value and AUC0 - 840h See Table 10 for antibody half-life. When the dose was increased from 10 mg / kg to 30 mg / kg, the drug exposure levels of 18.156.8 and 40409 (AUC0 - 840h And / or C0 ) Increased proportionally, but the increase in BMK.115 drug exposure levels was not proportional to the increase in dose. Table 10. Pharmacokinetic data I Repatha, 15.14.2, 17.72.3, 18.136.7, and 19.3.8 C calculated from antibody concentrations in serum from 0 to 840 hours0 Value and AUC0 - 840h See Table 11 for antibody half-life. In both 3 mg / kg and 10 mg / kg dose groups, the half-lives of the antibodies 15.14.2, 17.72.3, 18.136.7, and 19.3.8 were longer than those of Repatha. When the dose was increased from 10 mg / kg to 30 mg / kg, the drug exposure levels of Repatha, 15.24.2, 17.72.3, 18.136.7, and 19.3.8 (AUC0 - 840h And / or C0 ) Are increasing proportionally. Table 11. Pharmacokinetic data II 5.3 Immunogenicity Blood samples were collected from the cephalic or femoral veins of animals at 0 hours (before administration) and 336, 672, and 840 hours after administration. With Na2 CO3 / NaHCO3 Buffer diluted antibody 115, 18.156.8, and 40409 post-plating (NUNC) and incubated overnight at 4 degrees. Plates were washed with 0.1% Tween-PBS and blocked with 2% BSA / PBS. PBS-diluted monkey serum was added to the microtiter plate and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature. After washing the plates, goat anti-cynomolgus IgG-HRP (without cross-reaction with human IgG) was added and incubated. After washing the plate, TMB was added to the substrate, and it was stopped with 2M HCl after color development. The absorbance of each well was read at a wavelength of 450 nm. The results of immunogenicity detection of antibodies BMK.115, 18.156.8 (hIgG4) and 40409 (hIgG4) are shown in Figure 26. In monkey serum at 336, 672, and 840 hours after administration, the titers of anti-antibodies against BMK.115, 18.156.8 (hIgG4), 40409 (hIgG4) were not significantly different from those before administration, indicating that a single injection of 10 mg / ml or 30 mg / ml doses of BMK.115, 18.156.8 (hIgG4) or 40409 (hIgG4) antibodies have low immunogenicity. The immunogenicity detection results of antibodies Repatha, 15.24.2, 17.72.3, 18.136.7 and 19.3.8 are shown in Figure 27. The titers of anti-antibodies against Repatha, 15.24.2, 17.72.3, 18.136.7, and 19.3.8 in monkey serum at 336, 672, and 840 hours after dosing were not significantly different from those before administration, indicating a single dose. Repatha, 15.24.2, 17.72.3, 18.136.7, or 19.3.8 antibodies injected at a dose of 10 mg / ml or 30 mg / ml have very low immunogenicity. 5.4 Toxicity Death / near death: The health status of each animal is reported twice a day during the experiment, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, except when the animal arrives at the facility and the animal is examined on the day of dissection. Animals died unexpectedly throughout the experiment. Detailed clinical observation: All animals (including replacement animals) will be subjected to a detailed clinical observation before the experiment, and all experimental animals will be observed once on the administration day (about 2 ± 0.5 hours after administration). A detailed clinical observation was performed once a week. No drug-related clinical symptoms were observed throughout the experiment. Cage observation: In the early stage of the experiment, all animals (including replacement animals) were observed once a day from the cage 2 days before administration. It was performed once on the first day of the experiment, twice a day by the cage on the day of administration (within 30 minutes after administration and about 6 ± 0.5 hours after the administration), and once every day during the recovery period. Detailed clinical observations were scheduled at the same time period, and no cage observation was performed. Weight: Each animal was weighed once before the experiment. For experimental animals, the body was weighed once before administration on the first day of the experiment, and then weighed once a week during the experiment. No drug-related weight changes were observed, and all weight changes were within normal biological differences. Food intake: For all animals, the animal food intake was evaluated 2 days before the experimental administration and throughout the experimental administration and observation process. Daily food intake was assessed by monitoring the appetite of all animals (whether or not the animals constituted an assessment file). There were no drug-related changes in food intake.Examples 6 :antibody 18.156.8 Activity comparison with reference antibody 1.
