The design, construction and function of a new chimeric anti-CD20 antibody

A novel murine IgM-type anti-human CD20 monoclonal antibody (mAb) 1-28 was prepared in our Lab, which can induce apoptosis and inhibit proliferation of Daudi and Raji cells. However, the efficacy of 1-28mAb in human cancer therapy is likely to be limited by human anti-mouse antibody responses. A chimeric antibody, C1-28, containing 1-28mAb variable region genes fused to human constant region genes (gamma 1, kappa) was constructed. However, C1-28 lost the antigen-binding activity. Here, using sequence similarity and known 3D structure of antibody variable regions as template, the spatial conformations of 1-28 variable regions (i.e. V(H) and V(L)) were analyzed with computer-guided homology modeling methods. According to the surface electrostatic distribution and interaction free energy analysis, the relationship between structure and stability of 1-28 variable regions was studied theoretically and a new chimeric anti-CD20 antibody scFv-Ig named 5S was designed. Expression level of 5S in the culture supernatant was determined to be around 50mug/mL using sandwich ELISA method with chimeric antibody Rituxan as reference. 5S retained its murine counterpart's binding activity by fluorescence-activated cell-sorting analysis. Furthermore, it could kill CD20 positive Daudi and Raji cells by complement-dependent cytotoxicity. For binding affinity often decreased even lost when IgM antibody was constructed into chimeric IgG1 form, our success give a hint about how to construct a IgG1-type chimeric antibody from IgM-type murine antibody to preserve its binding activity.     

Chimeric and humanized antibodies with specificity for the CD33 antigen.

L and H chain cDNAs of M195, a murine mAb that binds to the CD33 Ag on normal and leukemic myeloid cells, were cloned. The cDNAs were used in the construction of mouse/human IgG1 and IgG3 chimeric antibodies. In addition, humanized antibodies were constructed which combined the complementarity-determining regions of the M195 antibody with human framework and constant regions. The human framework was chosen to maximize homology with the M195 V domain sequence. Moreover, a computer model of M195 was used to identify several framework amino acids that are likely to interact with the complementarity-determining regions, and these residues were also retained in the humanized antibodies. Unexpectedly, the humanized IgG1 and IgG3 M195 antibodies, which have reshaped V regions, have higher apparent binding affinity for the CD33 Ag than the chimeric or mouse antibodies.     

Vectors for the expression of PCR-amplified immunoglobulin variable domains with human constant regions.

Cassette vectors have been constructed for mammalian expression of complete immunoglobulin heavy and light chain genes whose variable regions are produced by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The light and heavy chain vectors have promoter, leader, partial intron, enhancer and constant region segments within modified pSV2-gpt and pSV2-neo plasmids, respectively. Variable (V) regions are obtained by PCR using a two step process: 1) the V gene is amplified from genomic or cDNA, cloned into an intermediate vector and sequenced; 2) the first PCR product serves as the template for a second amplification in which restriction enzyme recognition sites and limited flanking intron sequence are added. The second PCR product is inserted into the expression vector, which is then transfected into mouse myeloma cells. These vectors contain human constant regions and may be used to express chimeric, humanized or human Ig genes. This report describes the design of these vectors and their application for the expression of chimeric 60.3, an anti-CD18 antibody.     

"Superhumanized" antibodies: reduction of immunogenic potential by complementarity-determining region grafting with human germline sequences: application to an anti-CD28

Humanized Abs are created by combining, at the genetic level, the complementarity-determining regions of a murine mAb with the framework sequences of a human Ab variable domain. This leads to a functional Ab with reduced immunogenic side effects in human therapy. In this study, we report a new approach to humanizing murine mAbs that may reduce immunogenicity even further. This method is applied to humanize the murine anti-human CD28 Ab, 9.3. The canonical structures of the hypervariable loops of murine 9.3 were matched to human genomic V gene sequences whose hypervariable loops had identical or similar canonical structures. Framework sequences for those human V genes were then used, unmodified, with the 9.3 complementarity-determining regions to construct a humanized version of 9.3. The humanized 9.3 and a chimeric 9.3 control were expressed in Escherichia coli as Fab. The humanized Fab showed a moderate loss in avidity in a direct binding ELISA with immobilized CD28-Ig fusion protein (CD28-Ig). Humanized 9.3 blocked ligation of CD28-Ig to cells expressing the CD28 receptor CD80. Lastly, the humanized 9.3 showed biological activity as an immunosuppressant by inhibiting a MLR.

Human immunoglobulin allotypes: Possible implications for immunogenicity

More than twenty recombinant monoclonal antibodies are approved as therapeutics. Almost all of these are based on the whole IgG isotype format, but vary in the origin of the variable regions between mouse (chimeric), humanized mouse and fully human sequences; all of those with whole IgG format employ human constant region sequences. Currently, the opposing merits of the four IgG subclasses are considered with respect to the in vivo biological activities considered to be appropriate to the disease indication being treated. Human heavy chain genes also exhibit extensive structural polymorphism(s) and, being closely linked, are inherited as a haplotype. Polymorphisms (allotypes) within the IgG isotype were originally discovered and described using serological reagents derived from humans; demonstrating that allotypic variants can be immunogenic and provoke antibody responses as a result of allo-immunization. The serologically defined allotypes differ widely within and between population groups; therefore, a mAb of a given allotype will, inevitably, be delivered to a cohort of patients homozygous for the alternative allotype. This publication reviews the serologically defined human IgG allotypes and considers the potential for allotype differences to contribute to or potentiate immunogenicity.Key words: human IgG, polymorphisms, IgG allotypes, antibody therapeutics, immunogenicity, anti-therapeutic antibody, IgG glycosylation

Comparison of Humanized IgG and FvFc Anti-CD3 Monoclonal Antibodies Expressed in CHO Cells

Two humanized monoclonal antibody constructs bearing the same variable regions of an anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody, whole IgG and FvFc, were expressed in CHO cells. Random and site-specific integration were used resulting in similar expression levels. The transfectants were selected with appropriate selection agent, and the surviving cells were plated in semi-solid medium for capture with FITC-conjugated anti-human IG antibody and picked with the robotic ClonePix FL. Conditioned media from selected clones were purified by affinity chromatography and characterized by SDS-PAGE, Western-blot, SEC-HPLC, and isoelectric focusing. Binding to the target present in healthy human mononuclear cells was assessed by flow cytometry, as well as by competition between the two constructs and the original murine monoclonal antibody. The humanized constructs were not able to dislodge the murine antibody while the murine anti-CD3 antibody could dislodge around 20% of the FvFc or IgG humanized versions. Further in vitro and in vivo pre-clinical analyses will be carried out to verify the ability of the humanized versions to demonstrate the immunoregulatory profile required for a humanized anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody.
