Definitions

  • the present invention belongs to the field of biomedicine, and specifically relates to an antibody targeting CD70 or an antigen binding fragment binding to CD70, and a preparation method and application thereof.
  • T cells require the synergistic action of two signals: the first signal is provided by the binding of antigen-specific MHC class II molecules to the CD3/TCR protein complex; the second signal is provided by the binding of co-stimulatory molecules on the surface of antigen-presenting cells or target cells to the corresponding receptors on the surface of T cells.
  • the co-stimulatory molecules responsible for providing the second signal can be divided into two major categories: tumor necrosis factor-tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNF-TNFR) superfamily and immunoglobulin superfamily.
  • TNF-TNFR tumor necrosis factor-tumor necrosis factor receptor
  • CD27 and its ligand CD70 are two important members of the TNF-TNFR superfamily.
  • CD70 is a type II transmembrane protein with an extracellular C-terminal part, containing 193 amino acids and a molecular weight of 50kDa.
  • CD70 protein usually exists on the cell membrane in the form of trimers. Since CD70 is highly precisely regulated by antibodies, co-stimulatory molecules and cytokines under physiological conditions, CD70 is expressed on the surface of activated T cells and B cells for a short time, only for a few days, and is only expressed on the surface of effector lymphocytes to maintain its normal physiological function. In addition to the above cells, CD70 is also limitedly expressed on the surface of mature dendritic cells (DCs) and natural killer cells (NK cells), and is usually absent in non-lymphocyte normal tissues.
  • DCs mature dendritic cells
  • NK cells natural killer cells
  • CD70 is highly expressed in hematogenous tumors, such as Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, leukemia and Waldenstroms macroglobulinemia.
  • Multiple myeloma (MM) accounts for 1% of all cancers and about 10% of all hematological malignancies. In the United States, more than 32,000 new cases are diagnosed each year, and about 13,000 patients die from the disease. For decades, the age-adjusted annual incidence in the United States has remained stable at approximately 0.4/100,000 people. The incidence of multiple myeloma is slightly higher in men than in women, and twice as high in African Americans as in whites.
  • the median age of patients at diagnosis is approximately 65 years.
  • high expression also occurs in undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma, as well as in tumors such as germ cell carcinoma, thymoma, Wilms tumor, glioblastoma, astrocytoma, and ovarian cancer.
  • the expression in renal cancer is particularly significant.
  • CD70 is currently considered a new specific tumor marker for renal cancer. According to statistics in 2020, there are approximately 430,000 new cases of renal cancer worldwide.
  • renal cell carcinoma accounts for the vast majority (90%) of renal cancer cases, mainly including clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC; 70%), papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC; 10-15%), and chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (5%).
  • ccRCC clear cell renal cell carcinoma
  • pRCC papillary renal cell carcinoma
  • chromophobe renal cell carcinoma 5%
  • CD70 is expressed on the surface of activated T cells and B cells for a short time and is continuously highly expressed in tumors. Therefore, CD70 is a good target for some tumor targeting and immunotherapy.
  • Cusatuzumab a CD70 naked antibody, is the fastest-progressing drug targeting CD70.
  • Cusatuzumab's research and development code is ARGX-110, developed by Argenx; in December 2018, Cilag GmbH International, a subsidiary of Janssen, reached an agreement with Argenx and obtained the authorization of ARGX-110, for which Janssen paid an advance payment of US$300 million.
  • the complete remission rate CR of Phase II AML was 67%, and no dose-limiting toxicity was shown.
  • CD70 naked antibodies in China include SEA-CD70, a collaboration between BeiGene and Seagen, which received CDE clinical approval in 2021, and IMM40H of Yiminangke received FDA and CDE clinical approval in August 2022.
  • LSCs leukemia stem cells
  • AML Acute myeloid leukemia
  • HMAs Hypomethylating agents

  • Major complications of MM patients include tumor-induced bone damage and associated pathological fractures, anemia, renal failure, and immunodeficiency, leading to decreased quality of life and overall survival.
  • PIs proteasome inhibitors
  • IMDs immunomodulatory drugs
  • mAbs monoclonal antibodies
  • auto-HSCT autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
  • kidney cancer The severity of kidney cancer depends on the type and stage of the disease. The main and most effective treatment is surgery. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are generally not used as the main treatment for kidney cancer because, in most cases, patients do not respond to these treatments. However, surgery is not always possible. For example, the patient may have other diseases that prevent surgery from being performed, or the cancer may have spread to other organs and it is no longer possible for doctors to remove it.

Description

靶向CD70的抗体或结合CD70的抗原结合片段及其制备方法和应用Antibodies targeting CD70 or antigen-binding fragments binding to CD70 and preparation methods and applications thereof 技术领域Technical Field

本发明属于生物医药领域,具体涉及一种靶向CD70的抗体或结合CD70的抗原结合片段及其制备方法和应用。The present invention belongs to the field of biomedicine, and specifically relates to an antibody targeting CD70 or an antigen binding fragment binding to CD70, and a preparation method and application thereof.

背景技术Background technique

T细胞的活化需要两种信号的协同作用:抗原特异性MHC II类分子与CD3/TCR蛋白复合物的结合下提供第一信号;抗原递呈细胞或靶细胞表面的协同刺激分子与T细胞表面的相应受体之间的结合来提供第二信号。上述负责提供第二信号的协同刺激分子可分成两大类:肿瘤坏死因子-肿瘤坏死因子受体(TNF-TNFR)超家族和免疫球蛋白超家族。CD27及其配体CD70是TNF-TNFR超家族的两个重要成员,两者之间的相互作用可以激活Wnt和NF-κB信号通路,调节T、B及NK细胞的增殖和分化。CD70是具有细胞外C端部分的II型跨膜蛋白,包含193个氨基酸,分子量50kDa。The activation of T cells requires the synergistic action of two signals: the first signal is provided by the binding of antigen-specific MHC class II molecules to the CD3/TCR protein complex; the second signal is provided by the binding of co-stimulatory molecules on the surface of antigen-presenting cells or target cells to the corresponding receptors on the surface of T cells. The co-stimulatory molecules responsible for providing the second signal can be divided into two major categories: tumor necrosis factor-tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNF-TNFR) superfamily and immunoglobulin superfamily. CD27 and its ligand CD70 are two important members of the TNF-TNFR superfamily. The interaction between the two can activate the Wnt and NF-κB signaling pathways and regulate the proliferation and differentiation of T, B and NK cells. CD70 is a type II transmembrane protein with an extracellular C-terminal part, containing 193 amino acids and a molecular weight of 50kDa.

CD70蛋白通常以三聚体的形式存在细胞膜上,由于生理状态下CD70被抗体、共刺激分子以及细胞因子等高度精确地调控表达,因此CD70在活化的T细胞和B细胞表面表达的时间短,仅仅持续几天并且只在效应淋巴细胞表面表达以维持其正常生理作用。除上述细胞外,CD70还在成熟的树突状细胞(DCs)、自然杀伤细胞(NK细胞)表面有限表达,在非淋巴细胞正常组织中通常不存在。CD70在血源性肿瘤中表达量较高,如霍奇金淋巴瘤、非霍奇金淋巴瘤、多发性骨髓瘤、白血病以及华氏巨球蛋白血症(Waldenstroms macroglobulinemia)。多发性骨髓瘤(MM)占所有癌症的1%,约占所有血液系统恶性肿瘤的10%。在美国,每年新诊断病例超过32000例,约有13000例患者死于该病。几十年来,美国经年龄校正的年发病率保持稳定,约为0.4/10万人。多发性骨髓瘤在男性中的发病率略高于女性,在非裔美国人中的发病率是白人的两倍。诊断时患者中位年龄约为65岁。在实体瘤中,在未分化的鼻咽癌以及生殖细胞癌、胸腺瘤、肾母细胞瘤、胶质母细胞瘤、星形细胞瘤以及卵巢癌等肿瘤中也发生高表达,肾癌表达尤其显著,目前CD70被认为是肾癌的新型特异性肿瘤标志物。2020年统计数据显示,全球范围内约有43万例新发肾癌病例。在组织学方面,肾细胞癌(RCC)占肾癌病例的绝大多数(90%),主要包括透明细胞肾细胞癌(ccRCC;70%)、乳头状肾细胞癌(pRCC;10-15%)和嫌色性肾细胞癌(5%)。总之,CD70在活化的T细胞和B细胞表面表达的时间短,在肿瘤中持续高表达,因此CD70是部分肿瘤靶向和免疫治疗的良好靶点。CD70 protein usually exists on the cell membrane in the form of trimers. Since CD70 is highly precisely regulated by antibodies, co-stimulatory molecules and cytokines under physiological conditions, CD70 is expressed on the surface of activated T cells and B cells for a short time, only for a few days, and is only expressed on the surface of effector lymphocytes to maintain its normal physiological function. In addition to the above cells, CD70 is also limitedly expressed on the surface of mature dendritic cells (DCs) and natural killer cells (NK cells), and is usually absent in non-lymphocyte normal tissues. CD70 is highly expressed in hematogenous tumors, such as Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, leukemia and Waldenstroms macroglobulinemia. Multiple myeloma (MM) accounts for 1% of all cancers and about 10% of all hematological malignancies. In the United States, more than 32,000 new cases are diagnosed each year, and about 13,000 patients die from the disease. For decades, the age-adjusted annual incidence in the United States has remained stable at approximately 0.4/100,000 people. The incidence of multiple myeloma is slightly higher in men than in women, and twice as high in African Americans as in whites. The median age of patients at diagnosis is approximately 65 years. Among solid tumors, high expression also occurs in undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma, as well as in tumors such as germ cell carcinoma, thymoma, Wilms tumor, glioblastoma, astrocytoma, and ovarian cancer. The expression in renal cancer is particularly significant. CD70 is currently considered a new specific tumor marker for renal cancer. According to statistics in 2020, there are approximately 430,000 new cases of renal cancer worldwide. In terms of histology, renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for the vast majority (90%) of renal cancer cases, mainly including clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC; 70%), papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC; 10-15%), and chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (5%). In summary, CD70 is expressed on the surface of activated T cells and B cells for a short time and is continuously highly expressed in tumors. Therefore, CD70 is a good target for some tumor targeting and immunotherapy.

在CD70方向,目前已有大于30项CD70靶点新药的临床试验登记,药物类型包括CAR-T疗法、单抗、小分子化药和ADC等,进展最快的在临床2期。CD70裸抗药物Cusatuzumab为靶向CD70靶点的药物中进展最快的药物。Cusatuzumab的研发代号为ARGX-110,由Argenx公司研发;2018年12月,杨森旗下子公司CilagGmbH International与Argenx公司达成协议,获得了ARGX-110的授权,杨森为此支付了3亿美元的先期付款。II期AML临床完全缓解率CR为67%,且未显示出剂量限制性毒性作用。CD70裸抗国内有百济神州和Seagen合作的SEA-CD70,2021年获CDE临床批件,宜民昂科的IMM40H在2022年8月获得FDA和CDE临床批件。CD70-ADC国内新码生物和Ambrx合作的ARX305,2022年7月CDE获批临床,普方生物的PRO1160在临床前开发中。In the CD70 direction, more than 30 clinical trials of new drugs targeting CD70 have been registered, including CAR-T therapy, monoclonal antibodies, small molecule drugs and ADC, and the fastest progress is in clinical phase 2. Cusatuzumab, a CD70 naked antibody, is the fastest-progressing drug targeting CD70. Cusatuzumab's research and development code is ARGX-110, developed by Argenx; in December 2018, Cilag GmbH International, a subsidiary of Janssen, reached an agreement with Argenx and obtained the authorization of ARGX-110, for which Janssen paid an advance payment of US$300 million. The complete remission rate CR of Phase II AML was 67%, and no dose-limiting toxicity was shown. CD70 naked antibodies in China include SEA-CD70, a collaboration between BeiGene and Seagen, which received CDE clinical approval in 2021, and IMM40H of Yiminangke received FDA and CDE clinical approval in August 2022. ARX305, a CD70-ADC jointly developed by Sinopharm Biopharma and Ambrx, was approved for clinical trials by CDE in July 2022, and PRO1160 of Pufang Biopharma is in preclinical development.

白血病干细胞(leukemia stem cells,LSCs)对化疗等传统疗法的耐药性是白血病复发的重要因素。急性髓系白血病(AML)好发于老年人,中位发病年龄为67岁,这些病人中有相当大的比例在发病时已经无法接受化疗、骨髓移植等疗法,低甲基化药物(Hypomethylatingagents,HMAs)可用于治疗这些病人。AML患者进行低甲基化药物(HMA)治疗时,白血病干细胞(LSC)上调CD70表达,导致CD70/CD27信号转导增加,从而造成治疗抵抗。The resistance of leukemia stem cells (LSCs) to traditional therapies such as chemotherapy is an important factor in the recurrence of leukemia. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is common in the elderly, with a median age of 67 years. A considerable proportion of these patients are unable to receive chemotherapy, bone marrow transplantation and other therapies at the time of onset. Hypomethylating agents (HMAs) can be used to treat these patients. When AML patients are treated with hypomethylating agents (HMAs), leukemia stem cells (LSCs) upregulate CD70 expression, resulting in increased CD70/CD27 signal transduction, which leads to treatment resistance.

多发性骨髓瘤(MM)是一种浆细胞恶性肿瘤,是成人第二常见的血液肿瘤。MM患者的主要并发症包括肿瘤引起的骨损伤和相关的病理性骨折、贫血、肾功能衰竭和免疫缺陷,导致生活质量下降和总存活率下降。在过去的二十年里,随着蛋白酶体抑制剂(PIs)、免疫调节药物(IMiDs)和单克隆抗体(mAb)以及自体造血干细胞移植(自体HSCT)的出现,多发性骨髓瘤的治疗方法不断增长。然而,尽管最近在多发性骨髓瘤的治疗模式方面取得了相当大的进展,但该疾病仍然无法治愈,并且由于异质性、免疫逃避和耐药克隆进化的持久性,大多数患者最终不可避免地会复发,传统疗法对高危患者的益处有限,对胰岛素抵抗和亚胺培南双重难治或既往治疗超过3次后复发的多发性骨髓瘤患者的结果尤其令人沮丧。高危细胞遗传学多发性骨髓瘤患者或体弱老年患者的5年总生存率低于50%。因此,迫切需要具有最小药物毒性和良好耐受性以及显示深度和持久的反应的新的治疗方式。Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell malignancy and the second most common hematological malignancy in adults. Major complications of MM patients include tumor-induced bone damage and associated pathological fractures, anemia, renal failure, and immunodeficiency, leading to decreased quality of life and overall survival. Over the past two decades, the treatment options for multiple myeloma have continued to grow with the advent of proteasome inhibitors (PIs), immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs), and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), as well as autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT). However, despite recent considerable progress in the treatment paradigm of multiple myeloma, the disease remains incurable, and most patients will inevitably relapse eventually due to heterogeneity, immune evasion, and persistence of resistant clones. Conventional therapies have limited benefits for high-risk patients, and the results are particularly dismal for multiple myeloma patients who are double refractory to insulin resistance and imipenem or who have relapsed after more than three previous treatments. The 5-year overall survival rate for patients with high-risk cytogenetics multiple myeloma or frail elderly patients is less than 50%. Therefore, new treatment modalities with minimal drug toxicity and good tolerability as well as showing deep and durable responses are urgently needed.

肾癌的病情取决于疾病的类型和阶段。主要和较有效的治疗是手术。化疗和放疗一般不作为肾癌的主要治疗手段,因为在大多数情况下,患者对这些治疗没有反应。但是,手术并不总是可操作的。例如,病人可能患有影响手术执行的其他疾病,或者癌症已经扩散到其他器官,医生不可能再切除它。The severity of kidney cancer depends on the type and stage of the disease. The main and most effective treatment is surgery. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are generally not used as the main treatment for kidney cancer because, in most cases, patients do not respond to these treatments. However, surgery is not always possible. For example, the patient may have other diseases that prevent surgery from being performed, or the cancer may have spread to other organs and it is no longer possible for doctors to remove it.

CD70在活化的T细胞,B细胞和树突状细胞上瞬时表达,而在非淋巴的正常组织上几乎不表达。在多种血液瘤和实体瘤中高表达,比如B细胞淋巴瘤,肾癌,卵巢癌等。目前全球已开发多种药物类型,包括单抗,ADC,CAR-T,疫苗等,进展最快的是强生与Argenx合作开发的Cusatuzumab(2018年12月强生支付3亿美元先期付款),II期AML临床完全缓解率CR为67%,且未显示出剂量限制性毒性作用。目前尚无上市靶向CD70产品。CD70 is transiently expressed on activated T cells, B cells, and dendritic cells, but is almost not expressed on normal non-lymphoid tissues. It is highly expressed in a variety of hematological tumors and solid tumors, such as B-cell lymphoma, renal cancer, ovarian cancer, etc. At present, a variety of drug types have been developed in the world, including monoclonal antibodies, ADCs, CAR-T, vaccines, etc. The fastest progress is Cusatuzumab, which was jointly developed by Johnson & Johnson and Argenx (Johnson & Johnson paid an advance payment of US$300 million in December 2018). The clinical complete remission rate CR of Phase II AML is 67%, and no dose-limiting toxic effects have been shown. There are currently no products targeting CD70 on the market.

CD70是细胞表面抗原,为肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)家族成员,通常以三聚体形式存在,该靶点筛选出与CD70亲和力高,并能阻断其生物学活性的抗体较难。我们通过优化免疫方法,改进细胞融合技术,高通量筛选等从大量杂交瘤细胞中筛到亲和力高并有生物学功能活性的抗体。通过改造Fc,增强了抗体依赖的细胞介导的细胞毒性作用(antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity,ADCC)、补体依赖的细胞毒性作用(complement dependent cytotoxicity,CDC)、抗体依赖性细胞介导的吞噬作用(antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis,ADCP)活性。本发明构建的靶向CD70的抗体或结合CD70的抗原结合片段可靶向阻断CD70/CD27信号,并通过增强抗体依赖性细胞介导的细胞毒性作用、抗体依赖性细胞介导的吞噬作用、补体依赖性细胞毒性作用,杀死表达CD70的癌细胞,恢复对实体瘤(但不限于实体瘤)的免疫监测。在临床前小鼠体内实验研究表明,靶向CD70的抗体具有强大的抗肿瘤疗效及良好的安全性。CD70可开发多种药物类型,除裸抗外,也可开发CD70-ADC,抗CD70CAR等各种生物材料,并评估其在高表达实体瘤比如肾癌的体内药效,可有望直接杀死过表达CD70肿瘤并改善肿瘤微环境。CD70 is a cell surface antigen and a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family. It usually exists in the form of a trimer. It is difficult to screen antibodies with high affinity for CD70 and that can block its biological activity. We screened antibodies with high affinity and biological functional activity from a large number of hybridoma cells by optimizing immunization methods, improving cell fusion technology, and high-throughput screening. By modifying Fc, the activity of antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) was enhanced. The CD70-targeting antibody or the antigen-binding fragment binding to CD70 constructed by the present invention can target and block CD70/CD27 signals, and kill cancer cells expressing CD70 by enhancing antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, antibody-dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis, and complement-dependent cytotoxicity, thereby restoring immune monitoring of solid tumors (but not limited to solid tumors). Preclinical in vivo experimental studies in mice have shown that antibodies targeting CD70 have strong anti-tumor efficacy and good safety. CD70 can develop a variety of drug types. In addition to naked antibodies, various biomaterials such as CD70-ADC and anti-CD70CAR can also be developed, and their in vivo efficacy in highly expressed solid tumors such as renal cancer can be evaluated. It is expected to directly kill tumors that overexpress CD70 and improve the tumor microenvironment.

实施例1抗人CD70的小鼠单克隆抗体——原始抗体的制备方法Example 1 Preparation method of mouse monoclonal antibody against human CD70 - original antibody

1.1制备产生鼠源单克隆抗体的杂交瘤细胞1.1 Preparation of hybridoma cells producing mouse monoclonal antibodies

制备鼠源单克隆抗体的方法采用Kohler和Milstein 1975年发明的杂交瘤制备技术(Nature,1975,256:495-497)。首先将人CD70带有鼠Fc标签重组蛋白(Sino Biological,#10780-H04H5)与弗氏佐剂乳化,然后对多个品系小鼠进行免疫。四轮免疫后取血清用酶联免疫(ELISA)法检测效价,挑选最佳小鼠取脾细胞与SP2/0骨髓瘤细胞进行融合。经过HAT筛选杂交瘤单克隆细胞,对细胞培养上清进行在过表达人CD70、猴CD70、小鼠CD70的细胞株结合活性检测,以及杂交瘤抗体抑制CD70刺激HT1080-huCD27细胞分泌IL-8的作用的功能活性检测。最终检测数据(部分数据记载于表1)与人CD70亲和力的平均荧光强度(MFI)值以2000为阳性筛选条件值,猴CD70亲和力的MFI值以3000为阳性筛选条件值,最终筛选的杂交瘤抗体可以与人、猴CD70结合但是不与小鼠CD70结合,且可以很好的阻断CD70-CD27功能活性作用。将挑选出的最佳杂交瘤单克隆细胞株进行序列分析。The method for preparing mouse monoclonal antibodies uses the hybridoma preparation technology invented by Kohler and Milstein in 1975 (Nature, 1975, 256: 495-497). First, the human CD70 recombinant protein with a mouse Fc tag (Sino Biological, #10780-H04H5) was emulsified with Freund's adjuvant, and then multiple strains of mice were immunized. After four rounds of immunization, serum was collected and the titer was tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The best mice were selected to obtain spleen cells and fused with SP2/0 myeloma cells. After HAT screening of hybridoma monoclonal cells, the cell culture supernatant was tested for binding activity in cell lines overexpressing human CD70, monkey CD70, and mouse CD70, as well as the functional activity of hybridoma antibodies in inhibiting CD70-stimulated HT1080-huCD27 cells from secreting IL-8. The final test data (part of the data is recorded in Table 1) and the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) value of human CD70 affinity are 2000 as the positive screening condition value, and the MFI value of monkey CD70 affinity is 3000 as the positive screening condition value. The hybridoma antibody finally screened can bind to human and monkey CD70 but not to mouse CD70, and can well block the CD70-CD27 functional activity. The best hybridoma monoclonal cell line selected was sequence analyzed.

2.1杂交瘤细胞中抗体的可变区基因克隆2.1 Cloning of variable region genes of antibodies in hybridoma cells

用QIAGEN公司的RNA提取试剂盒(货号:74181)按厂商说明书提取小鼠杂交瘤细胞内总RNA。基于TAKARA的5’RACE技术原理,克隆出由杂交瘤细胞株表达的小鼠抗体可变区的cDNA序列。简言之,用SMARTer 5’RACE合成试剂盒(TAKARA,货号634859)按说明书合成重链和轻链的可变区基因特异性cDNA。用PCR引物修饰cDNA序列的5’和3’端,所述引物设计成为分别在重链和轻链可变区cDNA上增加合适的前导序列,使所得PCR产物能够通过无缝克隆的方法克隆到现有重组抗体表达的重链载体pHB-Fc和轻链载体pHB-Cκ上。pHB-Fc表达载体上含有人IgG1重链恒定区基因序列;pHB-Cκ载体上含有人κ轻链恒定区基因序列。将重链和轻链可变区PCR扩增产物通过In-fusion克隆试剂(TAKARA,货号639650)克隆到表达载体上,获得人鼠嵌合抗体表达载体,并转化到E.coli DH5α大肠杆菌感受态细胞(益生生技,货号FYE607-80VL)中。通过挑选单克隆菌落进行Sanger测序,经分析获得杂交瘤克隆7C4抗体的可变区序列。构建所得的抗CD70嵌合抗体(华博编号900713)可变区序列如下:The total RNA in mouse hybridoma cells was extracted using the RNA extraction kit (Cat. No. 74181) from QIAGEN according to the manufacturer's instructions. Based on the principle of TAKARA's 5'RACE technology, the cDNA sequence of the variable region of the mouse antibody expressed by the hybridoma cell line was cloned. In brief, the variable region gene-specific cDNA of the heavy chain and light chain was synthesized using the SMARTer 5'RACE synthesis kit (TAKARA, Cat. No. 634859) according to the instructions. The 5' and 3' ends of the cDNA sequence were modified with PCR primers, which were designed to add appropriate leading sequences to the heavy chain and light chain variable region cDNAs, respectively, so that the resulting PCR products could be cloned into the existing recombinant antibody expression heavy chain vector pHB-Fc and light chain vector pHB-Cκ by seamless cloning. The pHB-Fc expression vector contains the human IgG1 heavy chain constant region gene sequence; the pHB-Cκ vector contains the human κ light chain constant region gene sequence. The PCR amplification products of the heavy chain and light chain variable regions were cloned into the expression vector using the In-fusion cloning reagent (TAKARA, catalog number 639650) to obtain the human-mouse chimeric antibody expression vector, and then transformed into E. coli DH5α competent cells (Yisheng Biotechnology, catalog number FYE607-80VL). The variable region sequence of the hybridoma clone 7C4 antibody was obtained by selecting monoclonal colonies for Sanger sequencing. The variable region sequence of the constructed anti-CD70 chimeric antibody (Huabo No. 900713) is as follows:

3.6抗人CD70人源化抗体对Raji细胞的体外CDC实验3.6 In vitro CDC experiment of anti-human CD70 humanized antibody on Raji cells

收集Raji细胞,用不含FBS的RPMI1640(Gibco,Cat#A1049101)重悬,稀释细胞至1×106cells/mL,备用。待测抗体用不含FBS的RPMI1640稀释至12μg/mL,再2倍梯度稀释,共10个浓度梯度。将正常人血清补体(Normal Human Serum Complement)母液(Quidel,Cat#A112)用上述培养基稀释2.5倍。Collect Raji cells, resuspend in RPMI1640 without FBS (Gibco, Cat#A1049101), dilute cells to 1×10 6 cells/mL, and set aside. Dilute the antibody to be tested to 12 μg/mL in RPMI1640 without FBS, and then dilute it 2-fold, for a total of 10 concentration gradients. Dilute the stock solution of Normal Human Serum Complement (Quidel, Cat#A112) 2.5 times with the above culture medium.

将补体稀释液与各浓度梯度的抗体稀释液按1:1的比例,在96孔细胞培养板(Corning,Cat#3599)中,各加入25μL,混匀。随后,将处理好的Raji细胞悬液以每孔5×104cells(即每孔50μL)加入96孔细胞培养板,在37℃,5%CO2培养箱中培养3个小时。The complement dilution and the antibody dilution of each concentration gradient were added to a 96-well cell culture plate (Corning, Cat#3599) at a ratio of 1:1, and 25 μL of each was mixed.

The antibody was diluted to 1μM, flow rate: 10μL/min, Association: 900s, Dissociation: 1200s, first regenerated at a flow rate of 50μL/min, 0.85% phosphoric acid for 30s, and then regenerated at a flow rate of 50μL/min, 50Mm sodium hydroxide for 30s. The binding stability signal was collected to analyze the nonspecific electrostatic binding of the antibody.

通过多克隆兔抗溶菌酶(Polyclonal rabbit anti-lysozyme,又表示为Rb pAb to Lysozyme)和抗胰蛋白酶抑制剂抗体(Anti-trypsin inhibitor antibody,又表示为Anti-Trypsin Inhibitor)分别对Lysozyme solution from chicken egg和Trypsin inhibitor type 1-S from Glycine max的质控结果,可以确定蛋清溶菌酶和大豆胰酶抑制剂氨基偶联固定到CM5芯片后活性正常,即在整个实验过程中固定配体活性保持良好。Trypsin inhibitor type 1-S from Glycine max的PI为4.5,Lysozyme solution from chicken egg的PI为11.3,在pH7.4的HBS-EP缓冲液体系中,Trypsin inhibitor type 1-S from Glycine max带有较强的负电荷,Lysozyme solution from chicken egg带有较强的正电荷。Through the quality control results of polyclonal rabbit anti-lysozyme (Rb pAb to Lysozyme) and anti-trypsin inhibitor antibody (Anti-trypsin inhibitor antibody, also known as Anti-Trypsin Inhibitor) on Lysozyme solution from chicken egg and Trypsin inhibitor type 1-S from Glycine max, it can be determined that the activity of egg white lysozyme and soybean trypsin inhibitor was normal after amino coupling and fixation to the CM5 chip, that is, the activity of the fixed ligand remained good during the whole experiment. The PI of Trypsin inhibitor type 1-S from Glycine max is 4.5, and the PI of Lysozyme solution from chicken egg is 11.3. In the HBS-EP buffer system of pH 7.4, Trypsin inhibitor type 1-S from Glycine max has a stronger negative charge, and Lysozyme solution from chicken egg has a stronger positive charge.

表6、抗人CD70人源化抗体非特异结合数据 Table 6. Non-specific binding data of anti-human CD70 humanized antibodies

从表6可得:所有抗人CD70人源化抗体检测样品(900819和900820)与Lysozyme和Trypsin的结合响应值均小于20RU,可认为抗人CD70人源化抗体检测样品没有非特异性的静电结合作用。It can be seen from Table 6 that the binding response values of all anti-human CD70 humanized antibody test samples (900819 and 900820) with Lysozyme and Trypsin are less than 20RU, which means that the anti-human CD70 humanized antibody test samples have no nonspecific electrostatic binding effect.
