背景技术
肿瘤根据新生物的细胞特性及对机体的危害性程度,可分为良性肿瘤和恶性肿瘤两大类;其中恶性肿瘤疾病是当今社会上危害人类健康的重大疾病,致死程度高居第二。实体瘤常规治疗手段包括外科手术、化学治疗、放射治疗和分子靶向药物治疗以及免疫疗法等。很多实体瘤患者发现时已经是晚期,已丧失了手术治疗的机会,并且多数患者体质较弱,常常难以承受放化疗治疗引起的强烈副作用。生物类治疗药物,尤其是以PD-1等免疫检查点抗体为代表的癌症免疫疗法,凭借其低毒性、高有效性优势,应用越来越广泛,特别是对于转移性、复发性、难治性或现有标准化疗方法无效的晚期实体瘤患者,可能是唯一选择。
目前上市在售的免疫检查点抗体药物多为单克隆抗体,多数是针对一个特异性的靶标。然而,病人接受单克隆抗体治疗可能产生耐药性或无应答,并且很多疾病在体内的影响因素是多方面的,包括不同的信号通路、不同的细胞因子和受体的调节机制等,单一靶点的免疫疗法并不足以摧毁肿瘤细胞。因此,开发多特异性抗体,例如,双特异性抗体(Bispecific antibody,BsAb),或可解决单抗药物的脱靶毒性、低应答率和药物耐受等问题,扩大免疫治疗受益群体。
双特异性抗体虽然是抗体药物研发的热点方向,但面临诸多挑战,比如临床前评价模型、表达量低、稳定性差、工艺复杂、质控差异性大等问题,因此一直以来双特异性抗体的研发困难重重。因此,本领域迫切需要开发一种特异性佳、疗效好且易于制备的抗肿瘤药物。

以下由特定的具体实施例说明本申请发明的实施方式,熟悉此技术的人士可由本说明书所公开的内容容易地了解本申请的其他优点及效果。
术语定义
在本申请中,术语“TIGIT”称为“含Ig和ITIM结构域的T细胞免疫受体”,通常为免疫球蛋白的PVR(脊髓灰质炎病毒受体)家族的成员,其可结合PVR/CD155和Nectin-2/CD112。本申请的TIGIT可以指来自任何脊椎动物来源,包括哺乳动物,诸如灵长类(例如人、恒河猴和食蟹猴)和啮齿类(例如小鼠和大鼠)的TIGIT蛋白。该术语涵盖全长的TIGIT或其片段(诸如其缺乏信号肽的成熟片段),未加工的TIGIT,因细胞中的加工所致的任何形式的TIGIT,以及人工合成的TIGIT。该术语还涵盖TIGIT的变体,例如剪接变体或等位变体。在某些情形中,TIGIT为人TIGIT,人TIGIT的氨基酸序列包含UniProt登录号Q495A1所示的氨基酸序列。在某些情形中,TIGIT为食蟹猴TIGIT,食蟹猴TIGIT的氨基酸序列包含UniProt登录号G7NXM4所示的氨基酸序列。在某些情形中,TIGIT为小鼠TIGIT,小鼠TIGIT的氨基酸序列包含UniProt登录号P86176所示的氨基酸序列。

在本申请中,术语“抗原结合蛋白”通常是指包含结合抗原的部分的蛋白质,以及任选地允许结合抗原的部分采用促进抗原结合蛋白与抗原结合的构象的支架或骨架部分。抗原结合蛋白的实例包括但不限于抗体、抗原结合片段(Fab,Fab’,F(ab) 2,Fv片段,F(ab’) 2,scFv,di-scFv和/或dAb)、免疫缀合物、多特异性抗体(例如双特异性抗体)、抗体片段、抗体衍生物、抗体类似物或融合蛋白等,只要它们显示出所需的抗原结合活性即可。
在本申请中,术语“Fab”通常是指含有重链可变结构域和轻链可变结构域的片段,并且还含有轻链的恒定结构域和重链的第一恒定结构域(CH1);术语“Fab’”通常是指在重链CH1结构域的羧基端添加少量残基(包括一个或多个来自抗体铰链区的半胱氨酸)而不同于Fab的片段;术语“F(ab') 2”通常是指Fab’的二聚体,包含通过铰链区上的二硫桥连接的两个Fab片段的抗体片段。术语“Fv”通常是指含有完整抗原识别与结合位点的最小抗体片段。在某些情形中,该片段可以由一个重链可变区和一个轻链可变区以紧密非共价结合的二聚体组成;术语“dsFv”通常是指二硫键稳定的Fv片段,其单个轻链可变区与单个重链可变区之间的键是二硫键。术语“dAb片段”通常是指由VH结构域组成的抗体片段。在本申请中,术语“scFv”通常是指抗体的一个重链可变结构域和一个轻链可变结构域通过柔性肽连接子共价连接配对形成的单价分子;此类scFv分子可具有一般结构:NH 2-VL-连接子-VH-COOH或NH 2-VH-连接子-VL-COOH。
在本申请中,术语“抗体”其以最广泛意义使用,且具体涵盖,但不限于,单克隆抗体(包括包含两条轻链和两条重链的全长单克隆抗体)、多克隆抗体、多特异性抗体(例如双特异性抗体)、人源化抗体、完全人类抗体、嵌合抗体和骆驼化单结构域抗体。“抗体”通常可以包含通过二硫键互相连接的至少两条重链(HC)和两条轻链(LC)的蛋白,或其抗原结合片段。每条重链包含重链可变区(VH)和重链恒定区。在某些天然存在的IgG、IgD和IgA抗体中,重链恒定区包含三个结构域,CH1、CH2和CH3。在某些天然存在的抗体中,各轻链包含轻链可变区(VL)和轻链恒定区。轻链恒定区包含一个结构域,CL。VH和VL区可进一步细分为超变性的区域,称为互补决定区(CDR),其与称为框架区(FR)的较保守的区域交替。各VH和VL包含三个CDR和四个框架区(FR),从氨基端至羧基端按以下顺序排列:FR1,CDR1,FR2,CDR2,FR3,CDR3和FR4。天然重链和轻链的可变结构域各自包 含四个FR区(H-FR1,H-FR2,H-FR3,H-FR4,L-FR1,L-FR2,L-FR3,L-FR4),大部分采用β-折叠构型,通过三个CDRs连接,形成环连接,并且在一些情况下形成β-折叠结构的一部分。每条链中的CDRs通过FR区紧密靠近在一起,并与来自另一条链的CDR一起形成抗体的抗原结合位点。抗体的恒定区可介导免疫球蛋白与宿主组织或因子,包括免疫系统的各种细胞(例如,效应细胞)和经典补体系统的第一组分(Clq)结合。
在本申请中,术语“可变”通常是指这样的事实,即抗体的可变结构域的序列的某些部分变化强烈,它形成各种特定抗体对其特定抗原的结合和特异性。然而,变异性并非均匀地分布在抗体的整个可变区中。它集中在轻链和重链可变区中的三个区段,被称为互补决定区(CDR)或高变区(HVR)。可变域中更高度保守的部分被称为框架(FR)。在本领域中,可以通过多种方法来定义抗体的CDR,例如基于序列可变性的Kabat定义规则(参见,Kabat等人,免疫学的蛋白质序列,第五版,美国国立卫生研究院,贝塞斯达,马里兰州(1991))、基于结构环区域位置的Chothia定义规则(参见,A1-Lazikani等人,JMol Biol 273:927-48,1997)和基于IMGT本体论(IMGT-ONTOLOGY)的概念和IMGT Scientific图表规则的IMGT定义规则。
IMGT指国际ImMunoGeneTics信息系统,一种免疫遗传学和免疫信息学的全球参考数据库(http://www.imgt.org)。IMGT专门研究来自人类和其他脊椎动物的免疫球蛋白(IG)或抗体、T细胞受体(TR)、主要组织相容性(MH),以及来自脊椎动物和非脊椎动物的免疫球蛋白超家族(IgSF)、MH超家族(MhSF)和免疫系统相关蛋白(RPI)。
在本申请中,术语“kabat的抗体编码规则”通常是指一种在抗体的重链和轻链可变区或其抗原结合部分中氨基酸残基的编号系统(Kabat等(1971)Ann.NY Acad.Sci.190:382-391和Kabat,E.A.等(1991)Sequence of Proteins of Immunological Interest,第五版,美国人类健康服务部,NIH公告第91-3242号)。对于重链可变区而言,CDR1为重链可变区的第31-35位氨基酸,CDR2为重链可变区的第50-65位氨基酸,CDR3为重链可变区的的第95-102位氨基酸。对于轻链可变区而言,CDR1为轻链可变区的第24-34位氨基酸、CDR21为轻链可变区的第50-56位氨基酸和CDR3的第89-97位氨基酸。
在本申请中,术语“分离的”抗原结合蛋白通常是指已经从其产生环境(例如,天然的或重组的)的组分中识别,分离和/或回收的抗原结合蛋白。其产生环境的污染组分通常是干扰其研究、诊断或治疗用途的物质,可以包括酶、激素和其他蛋白质或非蛋白质溶质。分离的抗原结合蛋白或抗体通常将通过至少一个纯化步骤来制备。
在本申请中,术语“多特异性抗体”通常是指一种具有识别一种或多种抗原上的一个以上 表位的可变区的抗体。多特异性抗体包括,但不限于,全长抗体、具有两个或更多VL和VH结构域的抗体、抗体片段,如Fab、Fv、dsFv、scFv、双抗体、双特异性双抗体和三抗体、已经共价或非共价连接的抗体片段。在某些实施方案中,多特异性抗体可以是识别相同或不同抗原上的两种不同表位的“双特异性抗体”。
在本申请中,术语“单克隆抗体”通常是指从一群基本上同质的抗体获得的抗体,即集群中的个别抗体是相同的,除了可能存在的少量的自然突变。单克隆抗体通常针对单个抗原位点具有高度特异性。而且,与常规多克隆抗体制剂(通常具有针对不同决定簇的不同抗体)不同,各单克隆抗体是针对抗原上的单个决定簇。除了它们的特异性之外,单克隆抗体的优点在于它们可以通过杂交瘤培养合成,不受其他免疫球蛋白污染。修饰语“单克隆”表示从基本上同质的抗体群体获得的抗体的特征,并且不被解释为需要通过任何特定方法产生抗体。例如,本申请使用的单克隆抗体可以在杂交瘤细胞中制备,或者可以通过重组DNA方法制备。
在本申请中,术语“嵌合抗体”通常是指其中可变区源自一个物种,而恒定区源自另一个物种的抗体。通常,可变区源自实验动物诸如啮齿动物的抗体(“亲本抗体”),且恒定区源自人类抗体,使得所得嵌合抗体与亲本(例如小鼠来源)抗体相比,在人类个体中引发不良免疫反应的可能性降低。
在本申请中,术语“人源化抗体”通常是指非人抗体(例如小鼠抗体)的CDR区以外的部分或全部有的氨基酸被源自人免疫球蛋白的相应的氨基酸置换的抗体。在CDR区中,氨基酸的小的添加、缺失、插入、置换或修饰也可以是允许的,只要它们仍保留抗体结合特定抗原的能力。人源化抗体可任选地包含人类免疫球蛋白恒定区的至少一部分。“人源化抗体”保留类似于原始抗体的抗原特异性。非人(例如鼠)抗体的“人源化”形式可以最低限度地包含衍生自非人免疫球蛋白的序列的嵌合抗体。在某些情形中,可以将人免疫球蛋白(受体抗体)中的CDR区残基用具有所期望性质、亲和力和/或能力的非人物种(供体抗体)(诸如小鼠,大鼠,家兔或非人灵长类动物)的CDR区残基替换。在某些情形中,可以将人免疫球蛋白的FR区残基用相应的非人残基替换。此外,人源化抗体可包含在受体抗体中或在供体抗体中没有的氨基酸修饰。进行这些修饰可以是为了进一步改进抗体的性能,诸如结合亲和力。
在本申请中,术语“全人源抗体”通常是指将人类编码抗体的基因转移至基因工程改造的抗体基因缺失动物中,使动物表达的抗体。抗体所有部分(包括抗体的可变区和恒定区)均由人类来源的基因所编码。全人源抗体可以大大减少异源抗体对人体造成的免疫副反应。本领域获得全人源抗体的方法可以有噬菌体展示技术、转基因小鼠技术、核糖体展示技术和 RNA-多肽技术等。
在本申请中,术语“结合”、“特异性结合”或“对…特异性的”通常是指可测量且可再现的相互作用,诸如抗原和抗体之间的结合,其可以确定在存在分子(包括生物学分子)的异质群体的情况中靶物的存在。例如,抗体通过其抗原结合域与表位结合,并且该结合需要抗原结合域和表位之间的一些互补性。例如,特异性结合靶物(其可以是表位)的抗体是以比其结合其它靶物更大的亲和力、亲合力、更容易和/或以更大的持续时间结合此靶物的抗体。当抗体相比于其将结合随机的、不相关的表位而言更容易通过其抗原结合域与表位结合时,抗体被称为“特异性结合”该抗原。“表位”是指抗原上与抗原结合蛋白(如抗体)结合的特定的原子基团(例如,糖侧链、磷酰基、磺酰基)或氨基酸。
在本申请中,术语“KD”、“K D”可互换地使用,通常是指平衡解离常数,“KD”是解离速率常数(kdis,也称为“解离率(off-rate)(koff)”或“kd”)与结合速率常数(kon,也称为“结合率(kon)”或“ka”)的比值。可使用结合速率常数(kon)、解离速率常数(kdis)和平衡解离常数(KD)表示抗原结合蛋白(例如抗体)对抗原的结合亲和力。确定结合和解离速率常数的方法为本领域熟知,包括但不限于生物膜干涉技术(BLI)、放射免疫法(RIA)、平衡透析法、表面等离子共振(SPR)、荧光共振能量迁移(FRET)、免疫共沉淀(Co-IP)以及蛋白质芯片技术。如果在不同的条件(例如盐浓度、pH)下测量,则所测得的某种特定蛋白-蛋白相互作用的亲和力可不同。
在本申请中,术语“参比抗体”通常是指本申请所述抗原结合蛋白与之竞争结合抗原TIGIT的抗体。
在本申请中,术语“ADCC”或“抗体依赖性细胞介导的细胞毒性”通常是指这样一种细胞毒性形式,一些分泌型免疫球蛋白结合到某些细胞毒性效应细胞(例如,NK细胞、嗜中性粒细胞和巨噬细胞)上的Fc受体(FcR)上,使得这些细胞毒性效应细胞能够特异性结合携带抗原的靶细胞,随后用细胞毒素杀死靶细胞。介导ADCC的主要细胞(例如NK细胞)只表达FcγRIII,而单核细胞表达FcγRI、FcγRII和FeγRIII(可参见Ravetch and Kinet,Annu.Rev.Immunol.9:457-92(1991)第464页表3)。可以进行体外和/或体内细胞毒性测定法以评估目的分子的ADCC活性,例如,可进行体外ADCC测定法,可参见美国专利号No.5,500,362或No.5,821,337或美国专利No.6,737,056(Presta)中所记载的。可用于此类测定法的效应细胞包括PBMC和NK细胞。或者/另外,可在体内评估目的分子的ADCC活性,例如在动物模型中,诸如Clynes et al.,PNAS(USA)95:652-656(1998)中所披露的。例如,可以进行Fc受体(FcR)结合测定法以确保抗体缺乏FcγR结合(因此有可能缺乏ADCC活性),但是保留 FcRn结合能力。
ADCC活性可通过修饰Fc区而减少。在某些情形中,影响与Fc受体结合的位点可被除去,例如,除去并非补救受体结合位点的位点。在某些情形中,Fc区可经修饰以除去ADCC位点。ADCC位点是本领域已知的,关于IgG1的ADCC位点,参见例如,Sarmay et al.(1992)Molec.Immunol.29(5):633-9。
在本申请中,术语“在……之间”通常是指某种氨基酸片段的C端与第一氨基酸片段的N端直接或间接连接,并且其N端与第二氨基酸片段的C端直接或间接连接。在轻链中,例如,所述L-FR2的N末端与所述LCDR1的C末端直接或间接相连,且所述L-FR2的C末端与所述LCDR2的N末端直接或间接相连。又例如,所述L-FR3的N末端与所述LCDR2的C末端直接或间接相连,且所述L-FR3的C末端与所述LCDR3的N末端直接或间接相连。在重链中,例如,所述H-FR2的N末端与所述HCDR1的C末端直接或间接相连,且所述H-FR2的C末端与所述HCDR2的N末端直接或间接相连。又例如,所述H-FR3的N末端与所述HCDR2的C末端直接或间接相连,且所述H-FR3的C末端与所述HCDR3的N末端直接或间接相连。在本申请中,“第一氨基酸片段”和“第二氨基酸片段”可以为相同或不同的任意一段氨基酸片段。
在本申请中,术语“分离的”抗原结合蛋白通常是指已经从其产生环境(例如,天然的或重组的)的组分中识别,分离和/或回收的抗原结合蛋白。其产生环境的污染组分通常是干扰其研究、诊断或治疗用途的物质,可以包括酶、激素和其他蛋白质或非蛋白质溶质。分离的抗原结合蛋白或抗体通常将通过至少一个纯化步骤来制备。本申请所述的分离的抗原结合蛋白通常不结合非TIGIT抗原的抗原。
在本申请中,术语“分离的核酸分子”或“分离的多核苷酸”通产是指基因组、mRNA、cDNA或合成来源的DNA或RNA或其一定组合,其不与在自然界中发现的多核苷酸的全部或一部分缔合,或连接至其在自然界中不连接的多核苷酸。
