Definitions
- the present invention relates, in general, to methods for preparing a modified antibody variable domain by determining the amino acid residues of the antibody variable domain which may be modified without diminishing the native affinity of the domain for antigen while reducing its immunogenicity with respect to a heterologous species; to methods of preparation of and use of antibody variable domains having modifications at the identified residues which are useful for administration to heterologous species; and to the variable regions so modified. More particularly, the invention relates to the preparation of modified mouse antibody variable domains, which are modified for administration to humans, the resulting antibody variable domains themselves, and the use of such “humanized” antibodies in the treatment of diseases in humans.
- mouse monoclonal antibodies in human therapy is problematic for three reasons. First, an immune response against the mouse antibodies is mounted in the human body. Second, the antibodies have a reduced half-life in the human circulatory system. Third, the mouse antibody effector domains may not efficiently trigger the human immune system.
- CDRs murine hypervariable complementarity determining regions
- This technique is known as “CDR grafting”. See, e.g., Jones et al., Nature, 321, 522-525 (1986); Junghans et al., supra.
- Protein structure analysis may be used to “add back” murine residues, again by genetic engineering, to first generation variable regions generated by CDR grafting in order to restore lost antigen binding capability.
- Queen et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 86, 10029-10033 (1989); Co, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 88, 2869-2873 (1991) describe versions of this method.
- the foregoing three methods are techniques to “humanize” mouse monoclonal antibodies.
- CD System Clusters of Differentation System
- the CD System represents standard nomenclature for molecular markers of leukocyte cell differentation molecules. See Leukocyte Typing III White Cell Differentiation Antigens (Michael, ed. Oxford Press 1987), which is incorporated herein by reference.
- pan T cell markers are those markers which occur on T Cells generally and are not specific to any particular T cell subset(s).
- Pan T Cell markers include CD2, CD3, CD5, CD6, and CD7.
- the CD5 cluster antigen for example, is one of the pan T markers present on about 85-100% of the human mature T lymphocytes and a majority of human thymocytes. CD5 is also present on a subset, about 20%, of B cells.
- CD5 marker is found in McMichael and Gotch, in Leukocyte Typing III White Cell Differentiation Antigens (Michael, ed. Oxford Press 1987).
- the CD5 molecule has also been described in the literature as reactive with immunoglobulins. See, e.g., Kernan et al., J. Immunol., 33:137-146 (1984), which is incorporated herein by reference.
- the present invention provides methods for preparing a modified antibody variable domain useful for administration to humans by determining the amino acids of a subject antibody variable domain which may be modified without diminishing the native affinity of the domain for antigen while reducing its immunogenicity with respect to a heterologous species.
- subject antibody variable domain refers to the antibody upon which determinations are made.
- the method includes the following steps: determining the amino acid sequence of a subject light chain and a subject heavy chain of a subject antibody variable domain to be modified; aligning by homology the subject light and heavy chains with a plurality of human light and heavy chain amino acid sequences; identifying the amino acids in the subject light and heavy chain sequences which are least likely to diminish the native affinity of the subject variable domain for antigen while, at the same time, reducing its immunogenicity by selecting each amino acid which is not in an interface region of the subject antibody variable domain and which is not in a complementarity-determining region or in an antigen-binding region of the subject antibody variable domain, but which amino acid is in a position exposed to a solvent containing the antibody; changing each residue identified above which aligns with a highly or a moderately conserved residue in the plurality of human light and heavy chain amino acid sequences if said identified amino acid is different from the amino acid in the plurality.
- FIGS. 1A and 1B Another group of sequences, such as those in FIGS. 1A and 1B may be used to determine an alignment from which the skilled artisan may determine appropriate changes to make.
- the present invention provides a further method wherein the plurality of human light and heavy chain amino acid seqeunces is selected from the human consensus sequences in FIGS. 5A and 5B .
- human engineering according to the above methods may be used to treat various diseases against which monoclonal antibodies generally may be effective.
- humanized antibodies possess the additional advantage of reducing the immunogenic response in the treated patient.
- the present invention also discloses products and pharmaceutical compositions useful in the treatment of a myriad human diseases.
- products prepared by the foregoing methods include a modified H65 mouse monoclonal variable domain. Additionally, DNA sequences encoding the modified H65 variable domain are provided.
- Modified antibody variable domains which are products of the methods of the present invention may be used, inter alia, as components of various immunoglobulin molecules such as Fab, Fab′, and F(ab′) 2 domains, single chain antibodies, and Fv or single variable domains.
- Immunoglobulin molecules comprising modified variable domains according to the invention are particularly suited for therapeutic administration to human by themselves or, for example, as components of immunoconjugates such as those described in co-pending, co-owned U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/787,567 filed on Nov. 4, 1991.
- the present invention also provides methods for treatment of autoimmune diseases, wherein animal models are predictive of the efficacy of treatment in humans.

- Methods according to the present invention include: (1) identification of the amino acid residues of an antibody variable domain which may be modified without diminishing the native affinity of the domain for antigen while reducing its immunogenicity with respect to a heterologous species; (2) the preparation of antibody variable domains having modifications at the identified residues which are useful for administration to heterologous species; and (3) use of the humanized antibodies of the invention in the treatment of autoimmune diseases in humans.
- the methods of the invention are based on a model of the antibody variable domain described herein which predicts the involvement of each amino acid in the structure of the domain.
- the methods described herein introduce human residues into the variable domain of an antibody only in positions which are not critical for antigen-binding activity and which are likely to be exposed to immunogenicity-stimulating factors.
- the present methods are designed to retain sufficient natural internal structure of the variable domain so that the antigen-binding capacity of the modified domain is not diminished in comparison to the natural domain.
- FIGS. 1A and 1B provide the sequences of the four antibody variable domains which have been crystallized.
- the amino acid sequences of the light and heavy chains of HYH (SEQ ID Nos. 1 and 5, respectively), MCPC (SEQ ID Nos. 2 and 6, respectively), NEWM (SEQ ID Nos. 3 and 7, respectively) and KOL (SEQ ID Nos. 4 and 8, respectively) are shown, wherein the exclamation points “!” in the MCPC light chain sequence at position 30 ⁇ , the MCPC heavy chain sequence at positions 52 ⁇ and 98 ⁇ , the NEWM light chain at position 30 ⁇ , the KOL light chain at position 93 ⁇ , and the KOL heavy chain sequence at position 98 ⁇ , stand for the amino acid sequences NSGNQK (SEQ ID No.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 comprise depictions of the structure of the light and heavy chains, respectively, wherein each chain is displayed “unfolded” into a flattened beta sheet structure so that interactions among the residues are easier to visualize.
- the strands of folded polypeptide chains are represented as thick vertical lines, connected by eight beta-turn loops. Three of the loops are identified as antigen-binding loops or CDRs, one is accessory to the loops, and the remaining four at the “bottom” of the variable domain are not involved in antigen binding.
- the amino and carboxy termini of the variable domain are symbolized by small black dots at the ends of the polypeptide chains.
- Each amino acid position is represented as either a circle, a triangle, or a square.
- the covalent disulfide bond between the two cysteines at positions 23 and 88 in the light chain and the covalent disulfide bond between positions 22 and 92 in the heavy chain are each shown as a thick horizontal line. All of the residues in each chain are shown on the map, including antigen-binding residues and framework residues.
- the amino acid positions are numbered according to Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest , Fourth Edition, U.S.
- Solid slanted lines (either single or double) connecting pairs of residues which are adjacent in three-dimensional space but not in linear sequence, represent one or two hydrogen bonds between the mutually aligned amino nitrogens and carbonyl oxygens in the backbones of the residues.
- variable domain The basic structure of the antibody variable domain is strongly conserved.
- the variable domain is composed of a light chain (or subunit) and a heavy chain (or subunit), which are structurally homologous to each other and which are related by a pseudo-two-fold axis of rotational symmetry.
- the variable domain is functionally distinct from the constant domain, being connected only by two highly flexible chains and pivoting on both “ball-and-socket” joints formed by five amino acids in the heavy and light chains.
- Each amino acid chain folds back on itself repeatedly to create nine distinct strands.
- the various strands in each layer are extensively hydrogen-bonded to each other.
- the two beta-sheet layers within the subunit are held together by a single covalent disulfide bond and by numerous internal hydrophobic interactions.
- the sequences involved in bonding the strands of the subunits together are called “framework” sequences.
- Amino acid sidechains exist in various different chemical environments within the subunits. Some residues are exposed to the solvent on the outer accessible surface while other residues are buried in hydrophobic interactions within a subunit.
- Much of the immunoglobulin variable domain is constructed from antiparallel beta pleated sheets which create amphipathic surfaces, such that the “inside” surface is hydrophobic and the “outside” surface is hydrophilic. The outside is exposed to solvent, and therefore is also exposed to the humoral environment when the domain is in the circulatory system of an animal. Amino acid sidechains which are completely exposed to the solvent and which do not physically interact with other residues in the variable domain are likely to be immunogenic and are unlikely to have any structural importance within the immunoglobulin molecule.
- a highly schematic representation of the variable domain is shown in FIG. 4 , wherein thick lines represent peptide bonds and shaded circles denote amino acid side chains.
- the two subunits of antibody variable domains adhere to each other via a hydrophobic interface region which extends along the inside beta-sheet layer from the border of the variable domain with the constant domain to the antigen-binding loops.
- Amino acid side chains from both subunits interact to form a three-layered “herringbone” structure.
- Some of these interfacial residues are components of the antigen-binding loops, and thus have a direct effect upon binding affinity. Every residue in the interface is structurally important because the conformation of the binding regions is strongly influenced by changes in the conformation of the interface.
- the foregoing data and information on the structure of antibody variable domains aids in a determination of whether a particular amino acid of any variable domain is likely to influence antigen binding or immunogenicity.
- the determination for each amino acid position is represented by a pair of symbols (e.g., + and +, in the lines labelled “bind” and “bury”, respectively) in FIGS. 1A, 1B , (and also in FIGS. 5A, 5B , 6 A, 6 B, 10 A and 10 B).
- the first symbol relates to antigen binding
- the second symbol relates to immunogenicity and framework structure. Tables 1, 2 and 3, below, set out the significance of the symbols and possible pairings.
- FIGS. 5A and 5B thus set out and align the consensus sequences (derived from Kabat et al., supra) of the subgroups of light (hK1, SEQ ID NO: 13; hK3, SEQ ID NO: 14; hK2, SEQ ID NO: 15; hL1 SEQ ID NO: 16; hL2, SEQ ID NO: 17; hL3, SEQ ID NO: 18; hL6, SEQ ID NO: 19; hK4, SEQ ID NO: 20; hL4, SEQ ID NO: 21; and hL5, SEQ ID NO: 22) and heavy chains (hH3, SEQ ID NO: 23; hH1, SEQ ID NO: 24; and hH2, SEQ ID NO: 25) of antibody variable domains with the pairings representing the structural characteristics of each amino acid position, wherein the consensus sequences for the hL
- upper case amino acid designations indicate that the amino acid is present at that location in about 90% to about 100% of the known human sequences (excluding small incomplete fragments) of that subgroup (i.e., is “highly conserved”); whereas lower case amino acid designations indicate that the amino acid is present at that location in about 50% to about 90% of the known human sequences in that subgroup (i.e., is “moderately conserved”).
- a lower case “x” denotes conservation in less than about 50% of the known sequences in that subgroup (i.e., a “poorly conserved” position).
- FIGS. 5A and 5B The information presented in FIGS. 5A and 5B on the relationship of a particular amino acid in a sequence of an antibody variable domain to the structure and antigen-binding capacity of the domain is sufficient to determine whether an amino acid is modifiable. Additional structural studies, such as those on which FIGS. 5A and 5B are based, are not required.
- FIGS. 5A and 5B may be used to prepare, for example, a modified mouse antibody variable domain that retains the affinity of the natural domain for antigen while exhibiting reduced immunogenicity in humans by the following steps.
- the amino acid sequences of both the light chain and the heavy chain from the mouse variable domain are first determined by techniques known in the art (e.g., by Edman degradation or by sequencing of a cDNA encoding the variable domain).
- the consensus sequences set out in FIGS. 5A and 5B for human antibody variable regions are examined to identify both a light chain consensus and a heavy chain consensus sequence that are the most homologous to the particular mouse subunit sequences that are to be modified.
- the mouse sequences are aligned to the consensus human sequences based on homology either by sight or by using a commercially available computer program such as the PCGENE package (Intelligenetics, Mountain View, Calif.).
- FIGS. 5A and 5B are then used again to identify all of the “low risk” or “moderate risk” positions at which the mouse sequence differs significantly from the chosen human consensus.
- the mouse amino acid residues at these low risk and moderate risk positions are candidates for modification. If the human consensus is strongly conserved at a given low risk or moderate risk position, the human residue may be substituted for the corresponding mouse residue. If the human consensus is poorly conserved at a given low risk or moderate risk position, the mouse residue is retained at that position.
- the mouse residue is normally replaced with a human residue, unless the mouse residue occurs at that position in at least one of the sequences (e.g., in Kabat et al., supra) on which the human consensus sequence is based. If the mouse residue does occur at that position in a human sequence then the mouse residue may be retained.
- the mouse sequence does not contain a proline at a location where the human consensus sequence has one, it is likely that substituting a proline in the mouse sequence would affect proper conformation of the sequence, therefore the mouse residue is preferably retained. Where a proline at a particular position involving proline is changed from mouse to human, such a change is considered to be at least moderate risk even if that position would otherwise be low risk.
- insertions and deletions in a mouse sequence are normally preserved intact. If the mouse sequence has an alteration in the length and spacing of the variable region backbone, it is likely that the alteration is necessary to provide a surface for proper folding of the antigen-binding loops. The alteration is preferably retained in a modified version of the sequence.
- the side chains in the interface region are buried deep within the structure, so they are unlikely to elicit a therapeutic immunogenic response in a heterologous species.
- DNAs encoding the complete variable domain are synthesized [via oligonucleotide synthesis as described, for example, in Sinha et al., Nucleic Acids Res., 12, 4539-4557 (1984)], assembled [via PCR as described, for example in Innis, Ed., PCR Protocols, Academic Press (1990) and also in Better et al. J. Biol. Chem. 267, 16712-16118 (1992)], cloned and expressed [via standard procedures as described, for example, in Ausubel et al., Eds., Current Protocols in Molecular Biology , John Wiley & Sons, New York (1989) and also in Robinson et al., Hum. Antibod.

- An immunoglobulin such as an anti-T-cell immunoglobulin may be conjugated to a cytotoxic molecule.
- the cytotoxic molecule to which the immunoglobulin is conjugated may be any of a number of toxins such as lectin A or a ricin A chain.
- the above-referenced '297 application also describes use of an anti-CD5 antibody conjugated to a ricin A chain providing an anti-T-cell immunotoxin.
- autoimmune diseases may be characterized, inter alia, by abnormal immunological regulation which results in excessive B Cell activity and diminished, enhanced, or inappropriate T Cell activity. Such altered T cell activity may result in excessive production of autoantibodies.
- the autoimmune diseases are complex and diverse in their manifestations, they possess the common feature of an impaired immune system.
- Therapeutic depletion of circulating T cells through the administration of an anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin improves the clinical course and prognosis of patients with autoimmune disease.
- the additional depletion of CD5 B cells may have a further beneficial effect since CD5 B cells have been implicated in some autoimmune diseases.
- an anti-CD5 monoclonal antibody is presented as an example of a preferred embodiment of the invention.
- An example of an anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin is an CD5 antibody which is primarily reactive with a surface antigen of mature T cells, but is also reactive with 10-20% of mature B cells.
- Clinical data obtained using the anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin in models of autoimmune diseases in non-human animals are predictive of the effects of using such immunoglobulins as therapy against human autoimmune diseases.
- an immunoglobulin such as an antibody
- an immunoglobulin is “reactive” with or “binds to” an antigen if it interacts with the antigen forms an antigen-immunoglobulin complex.
- the antigen is generally a unique surface protein or marker.
- a most preferred marker is the CD5 antigen cluster.
- the anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin may be obtained from a number of sources. It is reactive with most mature T cells or with both T cells and subsets of other lymphoid cells, such as B cells or natural killer (NK) cells.
- the immunoglobulin may be synthetic or recombinant, including genetically-engineered immunoglobulins such as chimeric immunoglobulins, humanized antibodies, hybrid antibodies, or derivatives of any of these.
- Chimeric immunoglobulins, antibodies or peptides are comprised of fused portions from different species as a product of chimeric DNA.
- Chimeric DNA is recombinant DNA containing genetic material from more than one mammalian species.
- Chimeric immunoglobulins include one portion having an amino acid sequence derived from, or homologous to, a corresponding sequence in an immunoglobulin, antibody or peptide derived from a first gene source while the remaining segment of the chain(s) is homologous to corresponding sequences of another gene source.
- a chimeric antibody peptide may comprise an antibody heavy chain with a murine variable region and a human constant region. The two gene sources will typically involve two species, but will occasionally involve different sources from one species.
- Chimeric immunoglobulins, antibodies or peptides are typically produced using recombinant molecular and/or cellular techniques.
- chimeric antibodies have variable regions of both light and heavy chains that mimic the variable regions of antibodies derived from one mammalian species, while the constant portions are homologous to the sequences in antibodies derived from a second, different mammalian species.
- chimeric antibody is any antibody in which either or both of the heavy or light chains are composed of combinations of sequences mimicking the sequences in antibodies of different sources regardless of whether these sources are differing classes, differing antigen responses, or differing species of origin, and whether or not the fusion point is at the variable/constant boundary.
- humanized refers to an immunoglobulin wherein the constant regions have at least about 80% or greater homology to human immunoglobulin, and wherein some of the nonhuman (i.e. murine) variable region amino acid residues may be modified to contain amino acid residues of human origin.
- Humanized antibodies may be referred to as “reshaped” antibodies.
- Manipulation of the complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) is one means of manufacturing humanized antibodies. See, e.g., Jones, et al. Replacing the Complementarity—Determining Regions in a Human Antibody With Those From a Mouse, Nature 321:522-525 (1988); Riechmann, et al. Reshaping Human Antibodies For Therapy, Nature 332, 323-327 (1988).

- immunoglobulins of the present invention are monoclonal antibodies (hereinafter referred to as “MoAbs”) of the IgM or IgG isotype of murine, human or other mammalian origin. Most preferably, the MoAb is reactive with the CD5 antigen found on both T and B cells. MoAbs of other animal species may be prepared using analogous non-human mammalian markers.
- MoAbs A variety of methods for producing MoAbs are known in the art. See, e.g., Goding, Monoclonal Antibodies; Principles and practice (2d ed., Academic Press 1986), which is incorporated herein by reference. Less preferred forms of immunoglobulins may be produced by methods well-known to those skilled in the art, such as by chromatographic purification of polyclonal sera to produce substantially monospecific antibody populations.
- Monoclonal antibodies specifically directed against human CD5 antigen may be obtained by using combinations of immunogens and screening antigens which have only there human CD5 antigen in common or bay a screening assay designed to be specific for only anti-CD5 monoclonals.
- production of monoclonal antibodies directed against CD5 may be accomplished by 1) immunization with human T cells expressing the CD5 antigen followed by screening of the resultant hybridomas for reactivity against a non-human cell line transfected with human CD5 (constructed in a manner similar to that described in Nishimura, et al., Eur. J.
- a preferred monoclonal antibody for use in this invention is produced by hybridoma cell line XMMLY-H65 (H65) deposited with the American Type Culture Collection in Rockville, Md. (A.T.C.C.) and given the Accession No. HB9286.
- a preferred antibody is prepared as disclosed herein using the humanized forms of the murine H65 antibody.
- DNA sequences which encode a human MoAb or portions thereof which specifically bind to the human T cell may be isolated by screening a DNA library from human B cells according to the general protocols outlined by Huse et al., Science 246:1275-1281 (1989), Marks, et al., J. Mol. Biol. 222:581-597 (1991) which are incorporated herein by reference, and then cloning and amplifying the sequences which encode the antibody (or binding fragment) of the desired specificity.
- immunoglobulins specifically described herein other “substantially homologous” modified immunoglobulins can be readily designed and manufactured utilizing various recombinant DNA techniques known to those skilled in the art. Modifications of the immunoglobulin genes may be readily accomplished by a variety of well-known techniques, such as site-directed mutagenesis. See, Gillman and Smith, Gene 8:81-97 (1979); Roberts, et al., Nature 328:731-734 (1987), both of which are incorporated herein by reference. Also, modifications which affect the binding affinity of the antibody may be selected using the general protocol outlined by McCafferty, et al., Nature 348:552-554 (1990), which is incorporated herein by reference.
- an immunoglobulin, antibody, or peptide is specific for a T cell if it binds or is capable of binding T cells as determined by standard antibody-antigen or ligand-receptor assays.
- assays include competitive assays, immunocytochemistry assays, saturation assays, or standard immunoassays such as ELISA, RIA and flow cytometric assays.
- This definition of specificity also applies to single heavy and/or light chains, CDRS, fusion proteins, or fragments of heavy and/or light chains, which bind T cells alone or are capable of binding T cells if properly incorporated into immunoglobulin conformation with complementary variable regions and constant regions as appropriate.
- the ability of an immunoglobulin, antibody, or peptide fragment to bind an antigen is determined by detecting the ability of the immunoglobulin, antibody, or peptide to compete with the binding of a compound known to bind the antigen.
- Numerous types of competitive assays are known and are discussed herein.
- assays which measure binding of a test compound in the absence of an inhibitor may also be used.
- the ability of a molecule or other compound to bind T cells can be detected by labelling the molecule of interest directly, or it may be unlabelled and detected indirectly using various sandwich assay formats.
- Numerous types of binding assays such as competitive binding assays are known. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,376,110, 4,016,043; Harlow and Lane, Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual , Cold Spring Harbor Publications, N.Y. (1988), which are incorporated herein by reference.

- Immunosuppressive agents include prednisone, prednisolone, dexamethasone, cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine, 6-mercaptopurine, methotrexate, azathioprine, and gamma globulin.
- anti-pan T cell immunoglobulins may be formulated into various preparations such as injectable and topical forms.
- Parenteral formulations are preferred for use in the invention, most preferred is intramuscular (i.m.) or intravenous (i.v.) administration.
- the formulations containing therapeutically effective amounts of anti-pan T cell antibodies are either sterile liquid solutions, liquid suspensions or lyophilized versions and optionally contain stabilizers or excipients.
- Lyophilized compositions are reconstituted with suitable diluents, e.g., water for injection, saline, 0.3% glycine and the like, at a level of from about 0.01 mg/kg of host body weight to about 10 mg/kg or more of host body weight.
- the pharmaceutical compositions containing anti-pan T cell immunoglobulins are administered in a therapeutically effective dose in a range of from about 0.01 mg/kg to about 5 mg/kg body weight of the treated animal.
- a preferred dose range of the anti-pan T cell antibody is from about 0.05 mg/kg to about 2 mg/kg body weight of the treated animal.
- the immunoglobulin dose is administered over either a single day or several days by daily intravenous infusion. For example, for a patient weighing 70 kg, about 0.7 mg to about 700 mg per day is a preferred dose. A more preferred dose is from about 3.5 mg to about 140 mg per day.
- Anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin may be administered systemically by injection intramuscularly, subcutaneously, intrathecally, intraperitoneally, into vascular spaces, or into joints (e.g., intraarticular injection at a dosage of greater than about 1 ⁇ g/cc joint fluid/day).
- the dose will be dependent upon the properties of the anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin employed, e.g., its activity and biological half-life, the concentration of anti-pan T cell antibody in the formulation, the site and rate of dosage, the clinical tolerance of the patient involved, the autoimmune disease afflicting the patient and the like as is well within the knowledge of the skilled artisan.
- the anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin of the present invention may be administered in solution.
- the pH of the solution should be in the range of about pH 5.0 to about 9.5, preferably pH 6.5 to 7.5.
- the anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin or derivatives thereof should be in a solution having a pharmaceutically acceptable buffer, such as phosphate, tris (hydroxymethyl) aminomethane-HCl, or citrate and the like. Buffer concentrations should be in the range from about 1 to about 100 mM.
- a solution containing anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin may also contain a salt, such as sodium chloride or potassium chloride in a concentration from about 50 to about 150 mM.
- a stabilizing agent such as albumin, a globulin, a detergent, a gelatin, a protamine, or a salt of protamine may also be included and may be added to a solution containing anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin or to the composition from which the solution is prepared systemic administration of anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin is typically made every two to three days or once a week if a chimeric or humanized form is used. Alternatively, daily administration is useful. Usually administration is by either intramuscular injection or intravascular infusion.
- anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin is formulated into topical preparations for local therapy by including a therapeutically effective concentration of anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin in a dermatological vehicle.
- Topical preparations may be useful to treat skin lesions such as psoriasis and dermatitis associated with lupus.
- the amount of anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin to be administered, and the anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin concentration in the topical formulations will depend upon the vehicle selected, the clinical condition of the patient, the systemic toxicity and the stability of the anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin in the formulation.
- the physician will necessarily employ the appropriate preparation containing the appropriate concentration of anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin in the formulation, as well as the amount of formulation administered depending upon clinical experience with the patient in question or with similar patients.
- the concentration of anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin for topical formulations is in the range from about 0.1 mg/ml to about 25 mg/ml. Typically, the concentration of anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin for topical formulations is in the range from about 1 mg/ml to about 20 mg/ml.
- Solid dispersions of anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin as well as solubilized preparations may be used. Thus, the precise concentration to be used in the vehicle may be subject to modest experimental manipulation in order to optimize the therapeutic response. Greater than about 10 mg of anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin/100 grams of vehicle may be useful with 1% w/w hydrogel vehicles in the treatment of skin inflammation. Suitable vehicles, in addition to gels, are oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions using mineral oils, petrolatum, and the like.
- Anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin may be optionally administered topically by the use of a transdermal therapeutic system (Barry, Dermatological Formulations , p. 181 (1983)). While such topical delivery systems have been designed largely for transdermal administration of low molecular weight drugs, by definition they are capable of percutaneous delivery. They may be readily adapted to administration of anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin or derivatives thereof and associated therapeutic proteins by appropriate selection of the rate-controlling microporous membrane.
- Preparations of anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin either for systemic or local delivery may be employed and may contain excipients as described above for parenteral administration and other excipients used in a topical preparation such as cosolvents, surfactants, oils, humectants, emollients, preservatives, stabilizers and antioxidants.
- Any pharmacologically acceptable buffer may be used, e.g., tris or phosphate buffers.
- Anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin may also be administered via microspheres, liposomes or other microparticulate delivery systems placed in certain tissues including blood.
- Anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin may also be administered by aerosol to achieve localized delivery to the lungs. This is accomplished by preparing an aqueous aerosol or liposomal preparation. A nonaqueous (e.g., fluorocarbon propellent) suspension may be used. Sonic nebulizers preferably are used in preparing aerosols. Sonic nebulizers minimize exposing the anti-pan T cell antibody or derivatives thereof to shear, which can result in degradation of anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin.
- an aqueous aerosol is made by formulating an aqueous solution or suspension of anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin together with conventional pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and stabilizers.
- the carriers and stabilizers will vary depending upon the requirements for the particular anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin, but typically include nonionic surfactants (Tweens, Pluronics, or polyethylene glycol), innocuous proteins such as serum albumin, sorbitan esters, oleic acid, lecithin, amino acids such as glycine, buffers, salts, sugars, or sugar alcohols.
- the formulations are sterile. Aerosols generally may be prepared from isotonic solutions.
- a method of the present invention was utilized to prepare modified antibody variable domains by identifying low risk residues in a mouse monoclonal antibody variable domain, designated H65, which may be modified without diminishing the native affinity of the domain for antigen while still reducing its immunogenicity with respect to humans.
- the light and heavy chains of the variable domain of H65 were determined to most closely resemble the consensus sequences of subgroup 1 (“hK1”) of the human kappa chains and subgroup 3 (“hH3”) of the human heavy chains, respectively.
- the H65 V/J-segments of the light and heavy chain sequences are aligned with the two human subgroup consensus sequences in FIGS. 6A and 6B .
- the H65 sequences are also contained in SEQ ID Nos. 26 and 28.
- upper and lower case letters denote the degree of conservation at any given position.
- an “A” indicates that alanine is present at that position in about 90% to about 100% of the known human sequences of that subgroup (excluding small, incomplete fragments); whereas an “a” indicates that alanine is present only about 50% to about 90% of the time at that position in known human sequences of that subgroup.
- a lower case “x” indicates conservation of the amino acid at that position less than about 50% of the time.
- the line labelled “bind” shows which residues directly affect ( ⁇ ) or do not directly affect (+) antigen binding of CDR loops.
- a “0” indicates a residue of intermediate significance in terms of antigen binding or placement of the residue, respectively.
- FIGS. 6A and 6B reveal that the mouse H65 sequences differ from the human consensus sequences with which they are aligned at a total of 94 positions. Sixty-nine of these differences occur at moderate-risk (15 positions) or high risk (54 positions) positions suggesting that the mouse residue at that position may be important for the function of the antibody.
- the “M/H” line of FIG. 6 specifically indicates which positions differ between the two pairs of aligned sequences.
- mice residue aligns with a human consensus amino acid which is highly conserved. Therefore, the mouse residue at that position is identified as one to be changed to the conserved human residue.
- the mouse residue aligns with a human consensus amino acid which is moderately conserved. However, since the mouse residue is found at that position in other actual sequences of human antibodies (in Kabat's sequences of Proteins of Immunoglobulin Interest), the positions are identified as ones to be kept “mouse.” At seven low risk positions (designated “h”), the mouse residue aligns with a human consensus amino acid which is moderately conserved but the mouse residue is not found at that position in an actual human antibody sequence in the Kabat book. Therefore, those positions are identified as ones to be changed to “human.”
- mouse residue aligns with a human consensus amino acid which is poorly conserved. Therefore, that position is identified as one to be kept “mouse.”
- the “prop” lines of FIG. 6 set out the sequences of the light and heavy chains of the H65 antibody variable domain in which the residues identified by the methods of the present invention as those which may be modified without diminishing the native affinity of the H65 variable domain for CD5 are changed to human residues.
- the “prop” lines of FIGS. 6A and 6B set out the amino acid sequences of humanized light (SEQ ID NO: 27) and heavy chains (SEQ ID NO: 29) of the H65 antibody variable domain.
- polynucleotides encoding the native mouse leader sequences were included as part of the humanized genes.
- Each gene, heavy or light, was assembled from six overlapping oligonucleotides and amplified by PCR. Each oligonucleotide was synthesized with a Cyclone Model 8400 DNA Synthesizer (Milligen/Biosearch, Burlington, Mass.). Restriction sites were introduced into the amplified DNA segments for cloning into the final expression vectors for antibody genes (heavy or light).
- a SalI restriction site was introduced into each V-region upstream of the initiation codon, ATG.
- a BstEII restriction site was introduced into the 3′-end of the heavy chain J-region, while a HindIII site was introduced into the 3′-end of the light chain J-region.
- the humanized V- and J-segments of the heavy chain were assembled from six oligonucleotides, HUH-G1, HUH-G2, HUH-G3, HUH-G4, HUH-G5, and HUH-G6, the sequences of which are contained in FIG. 7B and in SEQ ID Nos. 36 to 41, respectively.
- the oligonucleotides were amplified with PCR primers H65G-2S and H65-G2 (SEQ ID Nos. 42 and 43, respectively). Oligonucleotides greater than 50 bp in length were purified on a 15% polyacrylamide gel in the presence of 25% urea.
- DNA strand extension and DNA amplification was accomplished with a Taq polymerase and the GeneAmp Kit used according to the manufacturer's instructions (Perkin-Elmer Cetus, Germany). Oligonucleotides containing the synthetic humanized antibody gene were mixed in pairs (HUH-G1+HUH-G2, HUH-G3+HUH-G4, and HUH-G5+HUH-G6) in 100 ⁇ l reactions with 1 ⁇ g of each DNA, 2.5 U Taq polymerase, 50 mM KCl, 10 mm TRIS-CL pa 8.3, 1.5 mM MgCl 2 , and 200 uM each dNTP.
- the tube was incubated in a Coy TempCycler for 1 minute at 94° C., 2 minutes at 55° C. and 20 minutes at 72° C.
- a portion of each reaction product (40 ⁇ l) was mixed in pairs (HUH-G1,2+HUH-G3,4; HUH-G3,4+HUH-G5,6), 2.5 U Taq was added and the tubes were re-incubated at 94° C. for 1 minute, 55° C. for 2 minutes and 72° C. for 20 minutes.
- the heavy chain gene was then assembled by mixing an equal amount of the HUH-G1,2,3,4 reaction product with the HUH-G3,4,5,6 reaction product and bringing the volume to 100 ⁇ l of 2.5 U Taq, 50 mM KCl, 10 mM TRIS-CL pH 8.3, 1.5 mM MgCl 2 , 200 uM each dNTP, and 0.5 ⁇ g of each amplification primer H65G-2S and H65-G2.
- the reaction was overlaid with mineral oil, and the cycle profile used for amplification was: denaturation 94° C. for 1 minute, annealing 55° C. for 2 minutes, and primer extension at 72° C. for 3 minutes. Primer extension was carried out for 30 cycles.
- the DNA sequence of the assembled V/J-region is contained in FIG. 8A and in SEQ ID NO: 46.
- the assembled V/J-region was cut with SalI and BstEII, purified by electrophoresis on an agarose gel, and assembled into a heavy chain expression vector, pING4612, which is similar to that described for heavy chain expression in Robinson et al., Hum. Antib. Hybridomas, 2, 84 (1991) and described in detail in co-pending, co-owned U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/659,409 filed on Sep. 6, 1989, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- the humanized V- and J-segments of the light chain were also assembled from six oligonucleotides, $H65K-1, HUH-K1, HUH-K2, HUH-K3, HUH-K4 and HUH-K5, the sequences of which are contained in FIG. 7 and in SEQ ID NOs. 30 to 35, respectively.
- the oligonucleotides were amplified with PCR primers H65K-2S and JK1-HindIII (SEQ ID NOs. 44 and 45, respectively).
- Oligonucleotides containing the synthetic humanized antibody gene were mixed in pairs ($H65K-K1+HUH-K1, HUH-K2+HUH-K3, and HUH-K4+HUH-K5) and incubated as described above for the heavy chain. A portion of each reaction product (40 ⁇ l) was mixed in pairs ($H65K-1/HUH-K1+HUH-K2,3; HUH-K2,3+HUH-K4,5) and treated as above.
- the light chain gene was then assembled by amplifying the full length gene with PCR primers H65K-2S and JK1-HindIII as outlined above for the heavy chain.
- the DNA sequence of the assembled V/J-region is contained in FIG. 8B and in SEQ ID NO. 47.
- the assembled V/J-region was cut with SalI and HindIII, purified by electrophoresis on an agarose gel, and assembled into a light chain antibody expression vector, pING4614 similar to those described for light chain expression in Robinson et al., supra. and in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/659,409, supra.
- Expression vectors containing the humanized H65 light chain and heavy chain sequences under the control of the Abelson Leukemia virus LTR promoter (described in Robinson et al., supra, and in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/659,409, supra) and 3′ untranslated regions from human gamma-1 (for heavy chain) and mouse kappa (for light chain) were transfected by lipofection into a CHO-K1 strain which expresses the SV40 T antigen.
- the CHO-K1 cells were also transfected with chimeric H65 light chain and heavy chain (each consisting of unmodified mouse V/J-segments fused to a human C-segment) in expression vectors similar to those described above. Following incubation, the supernatants were collected and tested by ELISA for the presence of secreted IgG. All of the supernatants contained about 0.03-0.06 ⁇ g/ml IgG.
- the H65 antibody modified according to the methods of the present invention was tested to determine whether it retained native affinity for antigen. Its binding capability was compared to that of a chimeric H65 IgG antibody (consisting of the chimeric H65 light chain and heavy chain described in Example 2) which has the same affinity for CD5 as unmodified H65 mouse antibody.
- the humanized H65 (hH65) and chimeric H65 IgG (cH65) from transient transfections described above were concentrated from 4 ml to a final volume of 100 ⁇ l by centrifugation using a Centricon 30 (Amicon, Amicon Division of W.R. Grace and Co., Beverley, Mass.) at 4° C. Both hH65 and cH65 concentrates were then washed once with 1.0 ml of phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.2 and reconcentrated to approximately 100 ⁇ l. As a control, HB-CHO culture media alone (CM) or media supplemented with purified cH65 (CM+cH65) was concentrated in a similar manner. The final concentrations of hH65 and cH65 were determined by ELISA (anti-human Kappa pre-coat, peroxidase-labelled anti-human gamma for detection) using chimeric IgG as a standard.

- CH65 IgG 20 ⁇ g of purified CH65 IgG was iodinated (1 mCi of Na 125 I, Amersham, Arlington Heights, Ill.) using lactoperoxidase beads (Enzymobeads, BioRad Laboratories, Richmond, Calif.) in PBS. Iodination was allowed to proceed for 45 minutes at 23° C.
- 125 I-cH65 IgG was purified from unbound 125 I by gel filtration using a Sephadex G-25-80 column. Concentration and specific activity was determined by measuring the TCA-precipitated counts before and after purification.
- Molt4-M cells which express CD5 on their surface, were plated into 96 well V-bottom plates at a density of 3 ⁇ 10 5 cells per well and pelleted by centrifugation. The medium was decanted, and 100 ⁇ l of purified cH65 IgG at final concentrations from 200 nM to 0.0017 nM (diluted in 3-fold steps) in “BHD” [DMEM (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium)+It BSA+10 mM Hepes, pH 7.2] (BHD) was added to each well, followed by 100 ⁇ l of 125 I-cH65 IgG (final concentration 0.1 nM) in BHD.

- the method of the present invention for preparing modified antibody variable domains by identifying modifiable amino acids was applied to the anti-TAC antibody variable domain sequence [SEQ ID Nos. 49 (light chain) and 53 (heavy chain)] and the resulting modified sequence is compared to the humanized anti-TAC antibody sequence [SEQ ID Nos. 51 (light chain) and 55 (heavy chain)] described in Queen et al., supra.
- FIGS. 10A and 10B The results are shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B .
- the sequence modified according to the present invention [SEQ ID Nos. 50 (light chain) and 54 (heavy chain)] is shown on the lines labelled “prop,” and the Queen humanized sequence is shown on lines labelled “Que.” Modifications to the Queen humanized sequence were based on the human EU antibody sequence [SEQ ID Nos. 48 (light chain) and 52 (heavy chain)].
- the comparison reveals many differences between the proposed sequence generated by the methods of the present invention and the Queen humanized sequence.
- the differences which are the most likely to affect binding activity of their humanized antibody are positions 4 (L vs. M), 15 (P vs. V), 36 (F vs. Y), 47 (W vs. L), 71 (Y vs. F), and 80 (A vs. P) in the light chain, as well as position 69 (L vs. I) in the heavy chain.
- the moderate or high risk mutations may therefore be divided into four groups (consisting of F 1 and F 3 in the light subunit and F 1 and F 3 in the heavy subunit).
- Four different constructs may be made, each containing higher-risk “human” mutations in only one framework region with the other three frameworks left completely “mouse,” and assayed for activity. This technique avoids the dilemma raised by other humanization methods in which all higher-risk changes are made at once, making it difficult to determine which of the many amino acid changes is responsible for affecting antigen-binding activity.
- the creation of antibodies according to the invention which possess moderate risk changes are described below.
- FIGS. 16A and 16B The human consensus sequences in which moderate risk residues are converted from mouse residues to human residues are represented in FIGS. 16A and 16B as lines labelled hxl (i.e., subgroup 1 of the human kappa chain) and hH3 (i.e., subgroup 3 of the human heavy chain). Symbols in this Figure, for conservation and for risk are used in accordance with FIGS. 6A and 6B .
- a dot (.) represents a residue which may be mutated from “mouse” to “human” at moderate risk. There are 29 such moderate risk positions.
- the mouse residue matches the human consensus residue more than 50% of the time at 131 positions (102 positions match 90%-100% and 29 positions match 50% to 90%). These positions were not changed.
- the lines labelled M/H in FIGS. 16A and 16B indicate the 91 positions which differed significantly between the mouse and human sequences (i.e., where the human sequences have the mouse residue less than 50% of the time).
- Moderate risk positions designated m in the M/H line, were kept “mouse”; whereas those designated H or h were changed to human.
- the 25 low risk positions which were already human-like or which were previously humanized (as described supra in Example 1) are designated “ ⁇ circumflex over ( ) ⁇ ” in the M/H line.
- the 54 high risk positions in which the mouse and human residues did not match are designated M and are kept “mouse”.
- mouse residue aligns with a human consensus amino acid which is moderately conserved.
- the positions are identified as ones to be kept “mouse.” Although there are no such positions in this particular sequence, such positions may occur in other antibodies.
- mice residue aligns with a human consensus amino acid which is moderately conserved but the mouse residue is not found at that position in an actual human antibody sequence in Kabat, et al. Sequences of Proteins of Immunoglobulin Interest , supra. Therefore, that position is identified as ones to be changed to “human.”
- mouse residue aligns with a human consensus amino acid which is poorly conserved. Therefore, that position is identified as one to be kept “mouse.”
- the humanized H65 heavy chain containing the moderate risk residues was assembled by a strategy similar to that for the low risk residues.
- the moderate-risk expression vector was assembled from intermediate vectors.
- the six oligonucleotide sequences (oligos), disclosed in FIG. 7B and labelled HUH-G11, HUH-G12, HUH-G3, HUH-G4, HUH-G5, and HUH-G6 (the sequences of HUH-G11 and HUH-G12 are set out in SEQ ID Nos. 56 and 57) were assembled by PCR.
- Oligonucleotides containing the synthetic humanized antibody gene were mixed in pairs (HUH-GIl+HUH-G12, HUH-G3+HUH-G4, and HUH-G5+HUH-G6) in a 100 ⁇ l reaction with 1 ⁇ g of each DNA and filled in as described above. A portion of each reaction product was mixed in pairs (HUH-G11, 12+HUH-G3, 4; HUH-G3, 4+HUH-G5, 6), 2.5 U Taq was added and samples were reincubated as described above.
- the in-J-region was assembled by mixing equal amounts of the HUH-Gil, 12, 3, 4 reaction product with the HUH-G3, 4, 5, 6 product, followed by PCR with 0.5 ug of primers H65G-2S and H65-G2 as described above.
- the reaction product was cut with SalI and BstEII and cloned into the expression vector, similar to that described for heavy chain in Robinson et al., Hum. Antibod. Hybridomas 2:84 (1991), generating pING4617. That plasmid was sequenced with Sequenase (USB, Cleveland), revealing that two residues were altered (a G-A at position 288 and a A-T at position 312, numbered from the beginning of the leader sequence). The correct variable region was restored by substitution of this region from pING4612, generating the expected V-region sequence in pING4619.
- An intermediate vector containing the other moderate-risk changes was constructed by PCR assembly of the oligos HUH-G13, HUH-G14, HUH-G15, and HUH-G16 ( FIG. 7A and SEQ ID Nos: 58-61).
- Oligos HUH-G13+HUH-G14 and HUH-G15+HUH-G16 were mixed and filled in with Vent polymerase (New England Biotabs) in a reaction containing 10 mM KCl, 20 mM TRIS pH 8.8, 10 mM (NH 4 ) 2 SO 2 , 2 mM MgSO 4 , 0.1% Triton X-100, 100 ng/ml BSA, 200 uM of each dNTP, and 2 units of Vent polymerase in a total volume of 100 ⁇ l.
- the reaction mix was incubated at 94° C. for 1 minute, followed by 2 minutes at 50° C. and 20 minutes at 72° C.
- reaction products (40 ⁇ l) were mixed and amplified with the oligonucleotides H65-G13 and H65-G2 with Vent polymerase in the same reaction buffer and amplified for 25 cycles with denaturation at 94° C. for 1 minute, annealing at 50° C. for 2 minutes and polymerization at 72° C. for 3 minutes.
- the reaction product was treated with T4 polymerase and then digested with AccI.
- the 274 base pair (bp) fragment was purified on an agarose gel and ligated along with the 141 bp SalI to AccI fragment from pING4619 into pUC18 cut with SalI and SmaI to generate pING4620.
- pING4620 contains the entire signal sequence, V-region, and J-region of the moderate-risk H65 heavy chain.
- the final expression vector for the moderate-risk H65 heavy chain, pING4621 was assembled by cloning the SalI to BstEII fragment from pING4620 into the same expression vector described above.
- the moderate-risk humanized V- and J-segments of the light chain were assembled from six oligonucleotides, $H65K-1, HUH-K7, HUH-K6, HUH-K8, HUH-K4 and HUH-K5.
- the sequences of HUH-K7, HUH-K6 and HUH-K5 are set out in SEQ ID Nos. 62-64 and FIGS. 7 and 7 A, respectively.
- the oligonucleotides were amplified with PCR primers H65K-2S and JK1-HindIII.
- Oligonucleotides containing the synthetic humanized antibody gene were mixed in pairs ($H65-K1+HUH-K7, HUH-K6+HUH-K4+HUH-K5) and incubated with Vent polymerase as described for the moderate-risk heavy chain. A portion of each reaction product (40 ul) was mixed in pairs ($H65H-K1/HUH-K7+HUH-K6, 8; HUH-K6, 8+HUH-K4, 5) and filled in as above.
- the light chain gene was then assembled by amplifying the full length gene with the PCR primers H65K-2S and JK1-HindIII with Vent polymerase for 25 cycles as outlined above. The assembled V/J region was cut with SaLI and HindIII, purified by electrophoresis on an agarose gel, and assembled into a light chain antibody expression vector, pING4630.
- the cell line Sp2/0 (American Type Culture Collection #CRL1581) was grown in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium plus 4.5 g/l glucose (DMEM, Gibco) plus 10% fetal bovine serum. Media were supplemented with glutamine/penicillin/streptomycin (Irvine Scientific, Irvine, Calif.).
- the electroporation method of Potter, H., et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., USA, 81:7161 (1984) was used. After transfection, cells were allowed to recover in complete DMEM for 24-48 hours, and then seeded at 10,000 to 50,000 cells per well in 96-well culture plates in the presence of selective medium. Histidinol (Sigma) selection was at 1.71 ug/ml, and mycophenolic acid (Calbiochem) was at 6 ug/ml plus 0.25 mg/ml xanthine (Sigma). The electroporation technique gave a transfection frequency of 1-10 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 5 for the Sp2/0 cells.
- the He3 light chain expression plasmid pING4630 was linearized by digestion with PvuI restriction endonuclease and transfected into Sp2/0 cells, giving mycophenolic acid—resistant clones which were screened for light chain synthesis.
- the best 4 light chain—producing transfectants after outgrowth were pooled into 2 groups of 2 transfectants/pool and each pool was transfected with the He3 heavy chain expression plasmid, pING4621, that had been linearized with PvuI.
- Sp2/0-4630+4621 cells are grown in culture medium HB101 (Hana Biologics)+1% Fetal Bovine Serum, supplemented with 10 mM HEPES, 1 ⁇ Glutamine-Pen-Strep (Irvine Scientific #9316).
- the spent medium is centrifuged at about 5,000 ⁇ g for 20 minutes.
- the antibody level is measured by ELISA.
- Approximately 200 ml of cell culture supernatant is loaded onto a 2 ml Protein A-column (Sigma Chemicals), equiliberated with PBS (buffer 0.15 M NaCl, 5 mM sodium phosphate, 1 mM potassium phosphate, buffer pH 7.2).
- the He3 antibody is eluted with a step pH gradient (pH 5.5, 4.5 and 2.5).
- a fraction containing He3 antibody (9% yield) but not bovine antibody is neutralized with 1 M Tris pH 8.5, and then concentrated 10-fold by Centrium 30 (Amicon)-diluted 10-fold with PBS, reconcentrated 10-fold by Centricon 30, diluted 10-fold with PBS, and finally reconcentrated 10-fold.
- the antibody was stored in 0.25 ml aliquots at ⁇ 20° C.
- the affinity of He3 for CD5 was determined using Molt-4M cells, which express CD5 on their surface and I 125 -labeled chimeric H65 IgG in a competitive binding assay.
- cH65 IgG chimeric H65 IgG
- 20 ⁇ g of chimeric H65 IgG was iodinated by exposure to 100 ⁇ l lactoperoxidase-glucose oxidase immobilized beads (Enzymobeads, BioRad), 100 ⁇ l of PBS, 1.0 mCi I 125 (Amersham, IMS30), 50 ⁇ l of 55 mM b-D-glucose for 45 minutes at 23° C.
- the reaction was quenched by the addition of 20 ⁇ l of 105 mM sodium metabisulfite and 120 mM potassium iodine followed by centrifugation for 1 minute to pellet the beads.
- 125 -cH65 IgG was purified by gel filtration using 7 mls of sephadex G25, using PBS (137 mM NaCl, 1.47 mM KH 2 PO 4 , 8.1 mM Na 2 HPO 4 , 2.68 mM KCl at pH 7.2-7.4) plus 0.1% BSA. 125 I-cH65 IgG recovery and specific activity were determined by TCA precipitation.
- the murine monoclonal antibody produced by cell line XMMLY-H65 (MoAbH65) is reactive with the human CD5 antigen.
- the cell line XMMLY-H65 was deposited with the American Type Culture Collection, 12301 Parklawn Drive, Rockville, Md., 20852 and designated Accession No. EB9286.
- MoAb H65 was produced after immunization of BALB/c mice with the human T-cell line HSB-2 originally isolated from a patient with T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia. Adams, et al. Can. Res. 28:1121 (1968).
- the murine myeloma cell line P3 7 NS/1-Ag-1-4 of Kohler et al. Ernr. J. Immunol. 6:292 (1976) was fused with spleen cells from an immunized mouse by the technique of Galfre et al., Nature 266:550 (1977).
- the H65 antibody-producing hybrid cell line was cloned twice by limiting dilution and was grown as ascites tumors in BALB/c mice.
- MoAb H65 was purified from mouse ascites by a modification of the method of Ey et al. Immunochem. 15:429 (1978). In brief, the thawed mouse ascites was filtered to remove lipid-like materials and was diluted with 2 to 3 volumes of 0.14 M NaPO 4 , pH 8.0, before application onto an immobilized protein A-Sepharose column of appropriate size. The unbound materials were removed from the column by washing with 0.14 M NaPO 4 , pH 8.0, until no further change in absorbance at 280 nm was seen. A series of column washes with 0.1 M sodium citrate (pH 6.0, pH 5.0, pH 4.0, and pH 3.0) were then performed to elute bound antibody.
- Peak fractions were pooled, adjusted to pH 7.0 with saturated Tris base, and concentrated by using a cell stirred with Amicon YM10 membrane (Amicon, Lexington, N.Y.). An antibody solution was then dialyzed against phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.0, and was stored frozen at ⁇ 70° C.
- PBS phosphate-buffered saline
- MoAb H65 is of the IgG 1 subclass, as determined by double diffusion in agar with the use of subclass-specific antisera (Miles-Yeda, Ltd. Rehovot, Israel). The serologic characteristics of this antibody and the biochemical characteristics of the gp67 (i.e., CD5) antigen were examined during the First International Workshop on Human Leukocyte Differentiation Antigens (Paris, 1982). MoAb H65 (workshop number: T34), and nine other MoAbs were found to have the same serologic pattern and to immunoprecipiate the gp67 antigen. Knowles, in Reinherz, et al., Leukocyte Typing II, 2: 259-288 (Springer-Verlag, 1986).
- MoAb H65 has been shown to block the binding of FITC-conjugated anti-Leu-1 (Becton Dickson, Mountain View, Calif.) on gp67+cells indicating that both antibodies recognize the same epitope on the gp67 molecule or determinants that are located in such a configuration as to result in blocking by steric hindrance.
- CIA Collagen-induced arthritis
- MEC major histocompatibility complex
- CIA Native, heterologous Type II collagen emulsified with complete Freund's adjuvant induces an arthritis-like autoimmune reaction in DBA/IJ mice after a single intradermal tail injection.
- the mice were obtained from Jackson Laboratories, Bar Harbor, Me. Initially, the arthritis is noticeable as a slight swelling of one or more digits in the fourth week post-immunization.
- the chronic phase of CIA continually worsens over the ensuing 8 weeks as the arthritis progresses from the digits into the remaining peripheral articulating joints and eventually ends with ankylosis of the involved joints.
- the histopathology of CIA is characterized by lymphocyte infiltration of the joint space, synovial MHC class II expression and pannus formation. Not all joints are involved on every mouse, so there is a spectrum of arthritic severity. In a group of ten or more mice, the overall arthritic severity develops in a linear fashion over the course of 10-12 weeks.
- the CIA model was used to test the potential efficacy of a monoclonal antibody directed against the pan-T cell surface antigen, Lyt-1, the murine equivalent of CD5.
- the antibody was administered to the mice before the immunization with Type II collagen. Normal DBA/I mice were also treated with a single 0.4 mg/kg i.v. injection of anti-Lyt-1 and were sacrificed after 72 hours for FACS analysis and for in vitro proliferation assays on spleen and lymph node cells. Any efficacy of this antibody would indicate a beneficial T cell-directed approach in rheumatoid arthritis via the CD5 surface antigen.
- Antibody 53-7.313 is a rat IgG 2a monoclonal antibody (ATCC Accession No. TIB 104) reactive with all alleles of the mouse lymphocyte differentiation antigen, Lyt-1.
- the IND1 antibody is a mouse IgG 1 , anti-human melanoma antibody used as a negative control (Xoma Corp., Berkeley, Calif.). All other antibodies were obtained from Pharmingen Inc. (San Diego, Calif.) as direct conjugates for quantitation on a Becton-Dickinson FACScan instrument.
- mice Male DBA/IJ mice, age 6-8 weeks, were administered a single intravenous dose of either phosphate buffered saline, IND1 or anti-Lyt-1 via the tail vein at 0.4 mg/kg in 0.1 ml of phosphate buffered saline. Mice were sacrificed for analysis three days after dosing. Single cell suspensions of spleens and peripheral lymph nodes were prepared by standard procedures and 1 ⁇ 10 6 cells were stained with the respective antibodies for fluorescence activated cell sorter (FACS) analysis. Proliferation assays were also performed to provide a second measure of T cell depletion.
- FACS fluorescence activated cell sorter
- Cells (1 ⁇ 10 5 /well) were stimulated with Concanavalin A, Interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-2 and H57.597 (a pan ⁇ , ⁇ T cell receptor antibody) or the Staphylococcal enterotoxins A and B.
- Cells were cultured for a total of 72 hours and proliferation was quantitated by the addition of 3 H-methylthymidine for the last 24 hours. After 72 hours, the cells were harvested with an Inotech INB-384 harvesting and counting system, which collects the cells onto glass fiber filters with subsequent gas proportional beta particle detection. Results are generally expressed as the mean of triplicate wells ⁇ SEM in Tables 5 and 6.
- LNC lymph node cells
- SPC spleen cells
- mice Male DBA/IJ mice, age 6-8 weeks, were administered the antibodies 53-7.313 (anti-Lyt-1), IND1 (anti-melanoma) or phosphate buffered saline (PBS) in two intravenous (0.4 mg/kg) doses 48 hours apart starting four days prior to immunization with 100 ⁇ g of bovine type II collagen emulsified with an equal volume of Fraund's complete adjuvant to a final injection volume of 100 ⁇ l. Each dose group was comprised of ten mice.
- An individual mouse could have a maximum arthritic severity score of 8. Mice were monitored until day 80 after collagen immunization and then were sacrificed by cervical dislocation. Results are expressed as the mean arthritic score for each dose group.
- FIG. 12 The changes in arthritic score during the course of the study are shown in FIG. 12 .
- the overall conclusion in FIG. 12 is that administration of the anti-Lyt-1 antibody prior to collagen immunization caused a significant decrease in the resulting severity of arthritis.
- the anti-Lyt-1 treatment group began to show ameliorated arthritic symptoms at Day 48 and never developed arthritis to the same extent as the other two groups. The onset of arthritis was not significantly delayed by the anti-Lyt-1 treatment.
- the intravenous administration of a rat monoclonal antibody reactive to the mouse equivalent of CD5, Lyt-1 is able to significantly decrease T lymphocytes in the spleen and in peripheral lymph nodes after a single 0.4 mg/kg dose.
- This T cell decrease is the probable mechanism for the significant (p ⁇ 0.01) decrease in arthritic severity seen with the same anti-Lyt-1 dose prior to type II collagen immunization.
- mice Severe combined immunodeficient mice maintain human lymphoid cells for several months following transplantation of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC).
- PBMC/SCID mice Such chimeric mice, referred to as PBMC/SCID mice, have functional human cells, as shown by the presence of human Ig in their serum.
- PBMC/SCID mice maintain human T cells in tissues such as spleen and blood.
- Human T cells present in PBMC/SCID mice are predominantly of a mature phenotype and express T cell antigens, including CD3, CD5, CD7, and CD4 or CD8.
- most T cells appear to be activated memory cells, as judged by the expression of HLA-DR and CD45RO.
- T cells appear to be functional since (a) they may provide help to B cells to produce anti-tetanus toxoid antibodies, (b) they produce soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) which may be detected in plasma, and (c) they proliferate in response to mitogenic anti-human CD3 monoclonal antibodies supplemented with IL-2 in vitro.
- sIL-2R soluble interleukin-2 receptor
- PBMC/SCID mice offer an in vivo model system in which to evaluate the efficacy of anti-human T cell drugs, such as H65 MoAb, a mouse IgG1 directed against human CD5.
- anti-human T cell drugs such as H65 MoAb, a mouse IgG1 directed against human CD5.
- SCID mice were obtained from Taconic, Germantown, N.Y., and at 6 to 7 weeks of age were injected with 200 mg/kg cyclophosphamide intraperitoneally (i.p.) to ensure engraftment of human PBMC.
- cyclophosphamide intraperitoneally i.p.
- mice were bled from the retro-orbital sinus and levels of human immunoglobulin (Ig) and human sIL-2R in plasma were quantified using sandwich ELISAs. Mice with low or undetectable levels of these human proteins were eliminated from the study and the remainder were divided into the various treatment groups (6 per group).
- the mice were then administered H65 MoAb (0.2 or 0.02 mg/kg/day), H65-based F(ab′) 2 fragment (2 mg/kg/day) or vehicle (buffer) intravenously (i.v.) for 10 consecutive daily injections one day after the last injection, the mice were bled and spleens were collected. Single cell suspensions of blood cells and splenocytes were prepared by standard methods. Recovered cells were then assayed for human T cell surface markers using flow cytometry.
- FITC— or PE-conjugated Abs Becton-Dickinson, Mountain View, Calif.: HLe-1-FITC (anti-CD45), Leu-2-FITC•(anti-CD5), and Leu-3-PE (anti-CD4). Samples were analyzed on a FACScan using log amplifiers. Regions to quantify positive cells were set based on staining of cells obtained from naive SCID mice. The absolute numbers of human antigen-positive cells recovered from SCID tissues were determined by multiplying the percent positive cells by the total number of cells recovered from each tissue sample. The total number of leukocytes in blood was calculated using a theoretical blood volume of 1.4 ml/mouse. Statistical comparisons between treatment groups were made using the Mann-Whitney U test.
- FIG. 13 The number of human T cells (CD4 plus CD8 cells) recovered from spleens and blood of PBMC/SCID mice following treatment with H65 MoAb or vehicle (control) is shown in FIG. 13 .
- Significantly lower numbers of T cells were recovered from spleens and blood of mice treated with either 0.2 or 0.02 mg/kg/day H65 MoAb as compared to vehicle-treated mice.
- treatment with 2 mg/kg/day of an H65-based F(ab′) 2 fragment did not significantly deplete human T cells from spleens or blood, even though a 10 to 100-fold higher dose was used ( FIG. 14 ).
- Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in the diabetes-resistant Biobreeding (DR BB) rat is a particularly relevant animal model of human rheumatoid arthritis, in that the DR BB rat RT1.D ⁇ gene encodes a nucleotide sequence homologous to the human HLA-DR ⁇ gene reported to be associated with rheumatoid arthritis susceptibility.
- DR BB rats are administered a single intradermal tail injection of heterologous Type II collagen emulsified with incomplete Freund's adjuvant. Development of the arthritis is considerably faster than in the DBA/1J CIA model. Onset of clinical signs occurs 1.5 to 2 weeks after collagen immunization, with peak swelling observed a few days after onset.
- Incidence is generally quite high (>85% of animals immunized).
- the swelling is generally severe, involves the entire footpad and ankle joint, and is restricted to the hindlimbs.
- Histopathological examination has revealed that the arthritis begins as a proliferative synovitis with pannus formation at the joint margins that is followed by a bidirectional erosion of both the outer (unmineralized) and inner (mineralized) layers of cartilage.
- This experiment uses the DR BB CIA rat model to assess the efficacy of a monoclonal antibody (MoAb), OX19 directed against the equivalent of the CD5 antigen in the rat.
- the antibody was administered to the rats prior to immunization with Type II collagen.
- Normal Sprague-Dawley rats were also treated with a single 0.5 mg/kg i.v. injection and were sacrificed after 3 hours for evaluation of MoAb binding to T cells, or after 2 days for quantitation of T cells in lymphoid tissues using flow cytometry.
- OXI9 MoAb is a mouse IgG1 directed against the equivalent of rat CD5 antigen present on rat T cells.
- OXl9 hybridoma is available from the European Collection of Animal Cell Cultures (ECACC) and has ECACC No. 84112012.
- H65 MoAb a mouse IgG1 reactive against human CD5, was used as an isotype matched negative control.
- Fluorescein-conjugated antibodies directed against surface antigens on rat pan-T cells (W3/13), CD4 cells (W3/25) and CD5 cells (OX8) were obtained from Accurate Chemical and Scientific Corporation, Westbury, N.Y. for flow cytometric quantitation of T cells in rat lymphoid tissues.
- Phycoerythrin-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG1 (Caltag Laboratories, South San Francisco, Calif.) was used to detect OX19 MoAb bound to rat T cells in a two-color analysis.
- T cells were depleted from the blood at 3 hours after OX19 MoAb administration. Almost all of the T cells that remained in the blood, and most of those present in the spleen and lymph nodes in the OX19 MoAb-treated rat also stained positively for surface-bound mouse IgG1, indicating that the dose of OX19 MoAb used was sufficient to saturate most of the T cells in these major lymphoid organs. These results provide doses useful in therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Methods are described for identifying the amino acid residues of an antibody variable domain which may be modified without diminishing the native affinity of the domain for antigen while reducing its immunogenicity with respect to a hereterologous species and for preparing so modified antibody variable domains which are useful for administration to heterologous species. Antibody variable regions prepared by the methods of the invention are also described.
Description
- The present invention relates, in general, to methods for preparing a modified antibody variable domain by determining the amino acid residues of the antibody variable domain which may be modified without diminishing the native affinity of the domain for antigen while reducing its immunogenicity with respect to a heterologous species; to methods of preparation of and use of antibody variable domains having modifications at the identified residues which are useful for administration to heterologous species; and to the variable regions so modified. More particularly, the invention relates to the preparation of modified mouse antibody variable domains, which are modified for administration to humans, the resulting antibody variable domains themselves, and the use of such “humanized” antibodies in the treatment of diseases in humans.
- Application of unmodified mouse monoclonal antibodies in human therapy is problematic for three reasons. First, an immune response against the mouse antibodies is mounted in the human body. Second, the antibodies have a reduced half-life in the human circulatory system. Third, the mouse antibody effector domains may not efficiently trigger the human immune system.
- There are three methods which have attempted to eliminate the foregoing problems. Junghans et al., Cancer Res., 50, 1495-1502 (1990) and other publications describe the utilization of genetic engineering techniques to link DNA encoding murine variable regions to DNA encoding human constant regions, creating constructs which when expressed generate a hybrid mouse/human antibody.
- Also by genetic engineering techniques, the genetic information from murine hypervariable complementarity determining regions (CDRs) may be inserted in place of the DNA encoding the CDRs of a human monoclonal antibody to generate a construct encoding a human antibody with murine CDRs. This technique is known as “CDR grafting”. See, e.g., Jones et al., Nature, 321, 522-525 (1986); Junghans et al., supra.
- Protein structure analysis may be used to “add back” murine residues, again by genetic engineering, to first generation variable regions generated by CDR grafting in order to restore lost antigen binding capability. Queen et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 86, 10029-10033 (1989); Co, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 88, 2869-2873 (1991) describe versions of this method. The foregoing three methods are techniques to “humanize” mouse monoclonal antibodies.
- As a result of the humanization of mouse monoclonal antibodies, specific binding activity of the resulting humanized antibodies may be diminished or even completely abolished. For example, the binding affinity of the modified antibody described in Queen et al., supra, is reported to be reduced three-fold; in Co et al., supra, is reported to be reduced two-fold; and in Jones et al., supra, is reported to be reduced two- to three-fold. Other reports describe order-of-magnitude reductions in binding affinity. See, e.g., Tempest et al., Bio/Technology, 9, 266-271 (1991); Verhoeyen et al., Science, 239, 1534-1536 (1988).
- A system for differentiating between the various subsets of T Cells, based upon cell surface antigens, is the Clusters of Differentation System (hereinafter referred to as the “CD System”). The CD System represents standard nomenclature for molecular markers of leukocyte cell differentation molecules. See Leukocyte Typing III White Cell Differentiation Antigens (Michael, ed. Oxford Press 1987), which is incorporated herein by reference.
- So-called “pan T cell” markers (or antigens) are those markers which occur on T Cells generally and are not specific to any particular T cell subset(s). Pan T Cell markers include CD2, CD3, CD5, CD6, and CD7. The CD5 cluster antigen, for example, is one of the pan T markers present on about 85-100% of the human mature T lymphocytes and a majority of human thymocytes. CD5 is also present on a subset, about 20%, of B cells. Extensive studies using flow cytometry, immunoperoxidase staining, and red cell lysis have demonstrated that this antigen is not normally present on hematopoietic progenitor cells or on any other normal adult or fetal human tissue with the exception of the aforementioned subpopulation of B cells.
- Further information regarding the CD5 marker is found in McMichael and Gotch, in Leukocyte Typing III White Cell Differentiation Antigens (Michael, ed. Oxford Press 1987). The CD5 molecule has also been described in the literature as reactive with immunoglobulins. See, e.g., Kernan et al., J. Immunol., 33:137-146 (1984), which is incorporated herein by reference.
- There are reports of attempted treatment of rheumatoid arthritis patients with monoclonal antibodies against CD4. See Horneff, et al. Arthritis and Rheumatism 34:2, 129-140 (February 1991); Goldberg, et al., Arthritis and Rheumatism, Abstract D115, 33:S153 (September. 1990); Goldberg, Journal of Autoimmunity, 4:617-630 (1991); Choy, et al. Scand. J. Immunol. 36:291-298 (1992).
- There are reports of attempted treatment of autoimmune disease, particularly rheumatoid arthritis, with an anti-CD5 monoclonal antibody. See Kirkham, et al., British Journal of Rheumatology 30:459-463 (1991); Kirkham, et al., British Journal of Rheumatology 30:88 (1991); Kirkham, et al., Journal of Rheumatology 19:1348-1352 (1992). There is also a report of an attempt to treat multiple sclerosis with an anti-T12 antibody. Hafler, et al., Neurology 36:777-784 (1986).
- As demonstrated by the foregoing, there exists a need in the art for a method of preparing antibody variable domains by identification of residues in mouse monoclonal variable region domains which may be modified without diminishing the native affinity of the domains for antigen while reducing their immunogenicity with respect to a heterologous species for use in the treatment of diseases.
- The present invention provides methods for preparing a modified antibody variable domain useful for administration to humans by determining the amino acids of a subject antibody variable domain which may be modified without diminishing the native affinity of the domain for antigen while reducing its immunogenicity with respect to a heterologous species. As used herein, the term “subject antibody variable domain” refers to the antibody upon which determinations are made. The method includes the following steps: determining the amino acid sequence of a subject light chain and a subject heavy chain of a subject antibody variable domain to be modified; aligning by homology the subject light and heavy chains with a plurality of human light and heavy chain amino acid sequences; identifying the amino acids in the subject light and heavy chain sequences which are least likely to diminish the native affinity of the subject variable domain for antigen while, at the same time, reducing its immunogenicity by selecting each amino acid which is not in an interface region of the subject antibody variable domain and which is not in a complementarity-determining region or in an antigen-binding region of the subject antibody variable domain, but which amino acid is in a position exposed to a solvent containing the antibody; changing each residue identified above which aligns with a highly or a moderately conserved residue in the plurality of human light and heavy chain amino acid sequences if said identified amino acid is different from the amino acid in the plurality.
- Another group of sequences, such as those in
FIGS. 1A and 1B may be used to determine an alignment from which the skilled artisan may determine appropriate changes to make. - The present invention provides a further method wherein the plurality of human light and heavy chain amino acid seqeunces is selected from the human consensus sequences in
FIGS. 5A and 5B . - In general, human engineering according to the above methods may be used to treat various diseases against which monoclonal antibodies generally may be effective. However, humanized antibodies possess the additional advantage of reducing the immunogenic response in the treated patient.
- The present invention also discloses products and pharmaceutical compositions useful in the treatment of a myriad human diseases. In particular, products prepared by the foregoing methods include a modified H65 mouse monoclonal variable domain. Additionally, DNA sequences encoding the modified H65 variable domain are provided.
- Modified antibody variable domains which are products of the methods of the present invention may be used, inter alia, as components of various immunoglobulin molecules such as Fab, Fab′, and F(ab′)2 domains, single chain antibodies, and Fv or single variable domains.
- Immunoglobulin molecules comprising modified variable domains according to the invention are particularly suited for therapeutic administration to human by themselves or, for example, as components of immunoconjugates such as those described in co-pending, co-owned U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/787,567 filed on Nov. 4, 1991.
- The present invention also provides methods for treatment of autoimmune diseases, wherein animal models are predictive of the efficacy of treatment in humans. Finally, the present invention includes pharmaceutical compositions containing the humanized antibodies according to the invention are disclosed.

The methods of the invention are based on a model of the antibody variable domain described herein which predicts the involvement of each amino acid in the structure of the domain.
- Unlike other methods for humanization of antibodies, which advocate replacement of the entire classical antibody framework regions with those from a human antibody, the methods described herein introduce human residues into the variable domain of an antibody only in positions which are not critical for antigen-binding activity and which are likely to be exposed to immunogenicity-stimulating factors. The present methods are designed to retain sufficient natural internal structure of the variable domain so that the antigen-binding capacity of the modified domain is not diminished in comparison to the natural domain.
- Data obtained from the analysis of amino acid sequences of antibody variable regions using the MacImdad (Molecular Applications Group, Stanford, California) three-dimensional molecular modeling program, in conjunction with data obtained from previous theoretical studies of hypervariable region structure, and data obtained from the crystal structures of the HYH (HYHEL-10 Fab-lysosyme complex, Brookhaven structure “3HFM”), MCPC (IgA Fab MCPC603-phosphocholine complex, Brookhaven structure “2MCP”), NEWM (Ig Fab′ NEW, Brookhaven structure “3FAB”) and KOL (IgG1 KOL, Brookhaven structure “21G2”) antibody variable domains from the Brookhaven database (Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, N.Y.), are utilized to develop the antibody variable domain model.
-
FIGS. 1A and 1B provide the sequences of the four antibody variable domains which have been crystallized. The amino acid sequences of the light and heavy chains of HYH (SEQ ID Nos. 1 and 5, respectively), MCPC (SEQ ID Nos. 2 and 6, respectively), NEWM (SEQ ID Nos. 3 and 7, respectively) and KOL (SEQ ID Nos. 4 and 8, respectively) are shown, wherein the exclamation points “!” in the MCPC light chain sequence atposition 30×, the MCPC heavy chain sequence atpositions 52× and 98×, the NEWM light chain atposition 30×, the KOL light chain atposition 93×, and the KOL heavy chain sequence atposition 98×, stand for the amino acid sequences NSGNQK (SEQ ID No. 9), NKG (SEQ ID No 10), GST (SEQ ID No 11), AG, SL and HGFCSSASC (SEQ ID No 12), respectively which are variations in the length of hypervariable loop sequences among the various antibodies.FIGS. 2 and 3 comprise depictions of the structure of the light and heavy chains, respectively, wherein each chain is displayed “unfolded” into a flattened beta sheet structure so that interactions among the residues are easier to visualize. The strands of folded polypeptide chains are represented as thick vertical lines, connected by eight beta-turn loops. Three of the loops are identified as antigen-binding loops or CDRs, one is accessory to the loops, and the remaining four at the “bottom” of the variable domain are not involved in antigen binding. The amino and carboxy termini of the variable domain are symbolized by small black dots at the ends of the polypeptide chains. Each amino acid position is represented as either a circle, a triangle, or a square. The covalent disulfide bond between the two cysteines atpositions positions - The analysis of each amino acid position to determine whether the position influences antigen binding and/or is immunogenic was based upon the information in
FIGS. 1A, 1B , 2 and 3, as well as the additional variable region structural information in the following paragraphs. - The basic structure of the antibody variable domain is strongly conserved. The variable domain is composed of a light chain (or subunit) and a heavy chain (or subunit), which are structurally homologous to each other and which are related by a pseudo-two-fold axis of rotational symmetry. At the “top” of the variable domain, the region farthest away from the constant domain, there are six antigen-binding loops which are built upon a larger structural framework region. The variable domain is functionally distinct from the constant domain, being connected only by two highly flexible chains and pivoting on both “ball-and-socket” joints formed by five amino acids in the heavy and light chains.
- Each subunit, light or heavy, resembles a “sandwich” structure, composed of two layers of antiparallel beta pleated sheets with a propeller twist in three-dimensional space. Each amino acid chain folds back on itself repeatedly to create nine distinct strands. Three-and-one-half of these strands form the “outside” beta-sheet layer of each subunit and the other five-and-one-half form the “inside” layer. The various strands in each layer are extensively hydrogen-bonded to each other. The two beta-sheet layers within the subunit are held together by a single covalent disulfide bond and by numerous internal hydrophobic interactions. The sequences involved in bonding the strands of the subunits together are called “framework” sequences.
- Certain amino acids, either in antigen-binding sequences or in framework sequences, do not actually bind antigen but are critical for determining the spatial conformation of those residues which do bind. Each antigen-binding loop requires a properly formed “platform” of buried residues, which provides a surface upon which the loop folds. One or more of the loop residues often will be buried in the platform as an “anchor” which restricts the conformational entropy of the loop and which determines the precise orientation of antigen-contacting sidechains. Thus, the shapes of the residues which make up the platform contribute to the ultimate shape of the antigen-binding loop and its affinity for specific antigens.
- Amino acid sidechains exist in various different chemical environments within the subunits. Some residues are exposed to the solvent on the outer accessible surface while other residues are buried in hydrophobic interactions within a subunit. Much of the immunoglobulin variable domain is constructed from antiparallel beta pleated sheets which create amphipathic surfaces, such that the “inside” surface is hydrophobic and the “outside” surface is hydrophilic. The outside is exposed to solvent, and therefore is also exposed to the humoral environment when the domain is in the circulatory system of an animal. Amino acid sidechains which are completely exposed to the solvent and which do not physically interact with other residues in the variable domain are likely to be immunogenic and are unlikely to have any structural importance within the immunoglobulin molecule. A highly schematic representation of the variable domain is shown in
FIG. 4 , wherein thick lines represent peptide bonds and shaded circles denote amino acid side chains. - The two subunits of antibody variable domains adhere to each other via a hydrophobic interface region which extends along the inside beta-sheet layer from the border of the variable domain with the constant domain to the antigen-binding loops. Amino acid side chains from both subunits interact to form a three-layered “herringbone” structure. Some of these interfacial residues are components of the antigen-binding loops, and thus have a direct effect upon binding affinity. Every residue in the interface is structurally important because the conformation of the binding regions is strongly influenced by changes in the conformation of the interface.
- The foregoing data and information on the structure of antibody variable domains aids in a determination of whether a particular amino acid of any variable domain is likely to influence antigen binding or immunogenicity. The determination for each amino acid position is represented by a pair of symbols (e.g., + and +, in the lines labelled “bind” and “bury”, respectively) in
FIGS. 1A, 1B , (and also inFIGS. 5A, 5B , 6A, 6B, 10A and 10B). In each of these pairs, the first symbol relates to antigen binding, while the second symbol relates to immunogenicity and framework structure. Tables 1, 2 and 3, below, set out the significance of the symbols and possible pairings.TABLE 1 FIRST SYMBOL IN PAIR (LIGAND BINDING) + Little or no direct influence on antigen- binding loops, low risk if substituted ∘ Indirectly involved in antigen-binding loop structure, moderate risk if changed − Directly involved in antigen-binding loop conformation or antigen contact, great risk if modified -
SECOND SYMBOL IN PAIR (IMMUNOGENICITY and STRUCTURE) + Highly accessible to the solvent, high immunogenicity, low risk if substituted ∘ Partially buried, moderate immunogenicity, moderate risk if altered − Completely buried in subunit's hydrophobic core, low immunogenicity, high risk if changed = Completely buried in the interface between subunits, low immunogenicity, high risk if modified. -
TABLE 3 SIGNIFICANCE OF PAIRS ++ Low risk Highly accessible to the solvent and high immunogenicity, but little or no effect on specific antigen binding ∘+, +∘, ∘∘ Moderate risk Slight immunogenicity or indirect involvement with antigen binding any − or = High risk Buried within the subunit core/interface or strongly involved in antigen binding, but little no immunogenic potential - The pairings set out in the Figures indicate that making mouse-to-human modifications at positions which have a pair of low risk symbols (++) (i.e., a symbol in the “bind” line and a symbol in the “bury” line corresponding to one position) results in a major reduction in therapeutic immunogenicity with little chance of affecting binding affinity. At the opposite end of the spectrum, modifying positions which have a pair of high risk symbols (−−) may degrade or abolish binding activity with little or no actual reduction in therapeutic immunogenicity. There are 73 low risk positions in the variable domain (38 in the light chain and 35 in the heavy chain) which are indicated by circles in the lines labelled “risk” in
FIGS. 1A, 1B , 5A, 5B, 6A, 6B, 10A and 10B. There are 29 moderate risk positions in the variable domain (12 in the light chain and 17 in the heavy chain) as indicated by the triangles in the lines labelled “risk” inFIGS. 1A, 1B , 5A, 5B, 6A, 6B, 10A, and 10B. - The results of the above analysis may be applied to consensus sequences for the different subgroups of antibody variable domains because the structural characteristics they represent are highly conserved, even among various species.
FIGS. 5A and 5B thus set out and align the consensus sequences (derived from Kabat et al., supra) of the subgroups of light (hK1, SEQ ID NO: 13; hK3, SEQ ID NO: 14; hK2, SEQ ID NO: 15; hL1 SEQ ID NO: 16; hL2, SEQ ID NO: 17; hL3, SEQ ID NO: 18; hL6, SEQ ID NO: 19; hK4, SEQ ID NO: 20; hL4, SEQ ID NO: 21; and hL5, SEQ ID NO: 22) and heavy chains (hH3, SEQ ID NO: 23; hH1, SEQ ID NO: 24; and hH2, SEQ ID NO: 25) of antibody variable domains with the pairings representing the structural characteristics of each amino acid position, wherein the consensus sequences for the hL6, hK4, hL4, hL5 and hH2 subgroups were derived from less than twenty actual light or heavy chain sequences. - In the consensus sequences set out in
FIGS. 5A and 5B , upper case amino acid designations indicate that the amino acid is present at that location in about 90% to about 100% of the known human sequences (excluding small incomplete fragments) of that subgroup (i.e., is “highly conserved”); whereas lower case amino acid designations indicate that the amino acid is present at that location in about 50% to about 90% of the known human sequences in that subgroup (i.e., is “moderately conserved”). A lower case “x” denotes conservation in less than about 50% of the known sequences in that subgroup (i.e., a “poorly conserved” position). - The information presented in
FIGS. 5A and 5B on the relationship of a particular amino acid in a sequence of an antibody variable domain to the structure and antigen-binding capacity of the domain is sufficient to determine whether an amino acid is modifiable. Additional structural studies, such as those on whichFIGS. 5A and 5B are based, are not required. - Thus, according to the present invention,
FIGS. 5A and 5B may be used to prepare, for example, a modified mouse antibody variable domain that retains the affinity of the natural domain for antigen while exhibiting reduced immunogenicity in humans by the following steps. The amino acid sequences of both the light chain and the heavy chain from the mouse variable domain are first determined by techniques known in the art (e.g., by Edman degradation or by sequencing of a cDNA encoding the variable domain). Next, the consensus sequences set out inFIGS. 5A and 5B for human antibody variable regions are examined to identify both a light chain consensus and a heavy chain consensus sequence that are the most homologous to the particular mouse subunit sequences that are to be modified. The mouse sequences are aligned to the consensus human sequences based on homology either by sight or by using a commercially available computer program such as the PCGENE package (Intelligenetics, Mountain View, Calif.). -
FIGS. 5A and 5B are then used again to identify all of the “low risk” or “moderate risk” positions at which the mouse sequence differs significantly from the chosen human consensus. The mouse amino acid residues at these low risk and moderate risk positions are candidates for modification. If the human consensus is strongly conserved at a given low risk or moderate risk position, the human residue may be substituted for the corresponding mouse residue. If the human consensus is poorly conserved at a given low risk or moderate risk position, the mouse residue is retained at that position. If the human consensus is moderately conserved at a specific position, the mouse residue is normally replaced with a human residue, unless the mouse residue occurs at that position in at least one of the sequences (e.g., in Kabat et al., supra) on which the human consensus sequence is based. If the mouse residue does occur at that position in a human sequence then the mouse residue may be retained. - Other criteria may be important to the determination of which identified residues of a variable region are to be modified. For example, since the side chain of proline is connected to both its α-carbon and its peptide nitrogen, free rotation is restricted around the carbon-nitrogen bond (the Ramachandran φ angle). Therefore, wherever there is a proline in a sequence, the shape of the backbone is distorted and that distortion can influence other residues involved in antigen binding. The presence or absence of a proline residue at any point in the amino acid sequence is a structurally important feature. If the mouse sequence contains a proline at a certain location, it is likely that its presence is necessary for a proper backbone and framework conformation and proline is perferably retained. If the mouse sequence does not contain a proline at a location where the human consensus sequence has one, it is likely that substituting a proline in the mouse sequence would affect proper conformation of the sequence, therefore the mouse residue is preferably retained. Where a proline at a particular position involving proline is changed from mouse to human, such a change is considered to be at least moderate risk even if that position would otherwise be low risk.
- Similarly, insertions and deletions in a mouse sequence, relative to a human consensus framework, are normally preserved intact. If the mouse sequence has an alteration in the length and spacing of the variable region backbone, it is likely that the alteration is necessary to provide a surface for proper folding of the antigen-binding loops. The alteration is preferably retained in a modified version of the sequence.
- Residues participating in the interface between the light and heavy chains of a variable domain are also preferably left intact in a modified version. They are all designated high risk, with = symbols on the “bury” lines in
FIGS. 1, 5 , 6, 10. The side chains in the interface region are buried deep within the structure, so they are unlikely to elicit a therapeutic immunogenic response in a heterologous species. - Once a modified sequence has been designed, DNAs encoding the complete variable domain are synthesized [via oligonucleotide synthesis as described, for example, in Sinha et al., Nucleic Acids Res., 12, 4539-4557 (1984)], assembled [via PCR as described, for example in Innis, Ed., PCR Protocols, Academic Press (1990) and also in Better et al. J. Biol. Chem. 267, 16712-16118 (1992)], cloned and expressed [via standard procedures as described, for example, in Ausubel et al., Eds., Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons, New York (1989) and also in Robinson et al., Hum. Antibod. Hybridomas, 2, 84-93 (1991)], and finally tested for specific antigen binding activity [via competition assay as described, for example, in Harlow et al., Eds., Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual,
Chapter 14, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor (1988) and Munson et al., Anal. Biochem., 107, 220-239 (1980)]. - Treatment of certain autoimmune diseases with immunotoxin conjugates is described in co-pending, commonly assigned U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/759,297 filed Sep. 13, 1991, and Bernhard, et al., “Materials Comprising and Methods of Preparation and Use for Ribosome-Inactivating Proteins”, a United States patent application filed Dec. 9, 1992, which are incorporated herein by reference. An immunoglobulin such as an anti-T-cell immunoglobulin may be conjugated to a cytotoxic molecule. The cytotoxic molecule to which the immunoglobulin is conjugated may be any of a number of toxins such as lectin A or a ricin A chain. The above-referenced '297 application also describes use of an anti-CD5 antibody conjugated to a ricin A chain providing an anti-T-cell immunotoxin.
- A general description of various autoimmune diseases is found in The Autoimmune Diseases (Rose & Mackey, eds 1985). Autoimmune diseases may be characterized, inter alia, by abnormal immunological regulation which results in excessive B Cell activity and diminished, enhanced, or inappropriate T Cell activity. Such altered T cell activity may result in excessive production of autoantibodies. Although the autoimmune diseases are complex and diverse in their manifestations, they possess the common feature of an impaired immune system. Therapeutic depletion of circulating T cells through the administration of an anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin improves the clinical course and prognosis of patients with autoimmune disease. For anti-CD5 antibody therapy, the additional depletion of CD5 B cells may have a further beneficial effect since CD5 B cells have been implicated in some autoimmune diseases.
- Once prepared, humanized antibodies are then useful in the treatment of autoimmune disease. In this regard, an anti-CD5 monoclonal antibody is presented as an example of a preferred embodiment of the invention. An example of an anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin is an CD5 antibody which is primarily reactive with a surface antigen of mature T cells, but is also reactive with 10-20% of mature B cells. Clinical data obtained using the anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin in models of autoimmune diseases in non-human animals are predictive of the effects of using such immunoglobulins as therapy against human autoimmune diseases.
- For the purpose of the present invention, an immunoglobulin, such as an antibody, is “reactive” with or “binds to” an antigen if it interacts with the antigen forms an antigen-immunoglobulin complex. The antigen is generally a unique surface protein or marker. A most preferred marker is the CD5 antigen cluster.
- The anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin may be obtained from a number of sources. It is reactive with most mature T cells or with both T cells and subsets of other lymphoid cells, such as B cells or natural killer (NK) cells. The immunoglobulin may be synthetic or recombinant, including genetically-engineered immunoglobulins such as chimeric immunoglobulins, humanized antibodies, hybrid antibodies, or derivatives of any of these.
- Chimeric immunoglobulins, antibodies or peptides are comprised of fused portions from different species as a product of chimeric DNA. Chimeric DNA is recombinant DNA containing genetic material from more than one mammalian species. Chimeric immunoglobulins include one portion having an amino acid sequence derived from, or homologous to, a corresponding sequence in an immunoglobulin, antibody or peptide derived from a first gene source while the remaining segment of the chain(s) is homologous to corresponding sequences of another gene source. For example, a chimeric antibody peptide may comprise an antibody heavy chain with a murine variable region and a human constant region. The two gene sources will typically involve two species, but will occasionally involve different sources from one species.
- Chimeric immunoglobulins, antibodies or peptides are typically produced using recombinant molecular and/or cellular techniques. Typically, chimeric antibodies have variable regions of both light and heavy chains that mimic the variable regions of antibodies derived from one mammalian species, while the constant portions are homologous to the sequences in antibodies derived from a second, different mammalian species.
- The definition of chimeric antibody, however, is not limited to this example. A chimeric antibody is any antibody in which either or both of the heavy or light chains are composed of combinations of sequences mimicking the sequences in antibodies of different sources regardless of whether these sources are differing classes, differing antigen responses, or differing species of origin, and whether or not the fusion point is at the variable/constant boundary.
- The terms “humanized,” “human-like” or “human-engineered” refers to an immunoglobulin wherein the constant regions have at least about 80% or greater homology to human immunoglobulin, and wherein some of the nonhuman (i.e. murine) variable region amino acid residues may be modified to contain amino acid residues of human origin.
- Humanized antibodies may be referred to as “reshaped” antibodies. Manipulation of the complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) is one means of manufacturing humanized antibodies. See, e.g., Jones, et al. Replacing the Complementarity—Determining Regions in a Human Antibody With Those From a Mouse, Nature 321:522-525 (1988); Riechmann, et al. Reshaping Human Antibodies For Therapy, Nature 332, 323-327 (1988). For a review article concerning chimeric and humanized antibodies, see Winter and Milstein, Man-Made Antibodies, Nature 349, 293-299 (1991).
- Preferably, immunoglobulins of the present invention are monoclonal antibodies (hereinafter referred to as “MoAbs”) of the IgM or IgG isotype of murine, human or other mammalian origin. Most preferably, the MoAb is reactive with the CD5 antigen found on both T and B cells. MoAbs of other animal species may be prepared using analogous non-human mammalian markers.
- A variety of methods for producing MoAbs are known in the art. See, e.g., Goding, Monoclonal Antibodies; Principles and practice (2d ed., Academic Press 1986), which is incorporated herein by reference. Less preferred forms of immunoglobulins may be produced by methods well-known to those skilled in the art, such as by chromatographic purification of polyclonal sera to produce substantially monospecific antibody populations.
- Monoclonal antibodies specifically directed against human CD5 antigen may be obtained by using combinations of immunogens and screening antigens which have only there human CD5 antigen in common or bay a screening assay designed to be specific for only anti-CD5 monoclonals. For example, production of monoclonal antibodies directed against CD5 may be accomplished by 1) immunization with human T cells expressing the CD5 antigen followed by screening of the resultant hybridomas for reactivity against a non-human cell line transfected with human CD5 (constructed in a manner similar to that described in Nishimura, et al., Eur. J. Immunol., 18:747-753 (1988)); 2) immunization with a non-human cell line transfected with human CD5 followed by screening of the resultant hybridomas for reactivity against a human T cell line expressing the CD5 antigen; 3) immunization with human or non-human cell lines expressing human CD5 followed by screening of the resultant hybridomas for ability to block reactivity of existing anti-CD5 monoclonals with a human T cell line; 4) immunization with human or non-human cell lines expressing human CD5 followed by screening of the resultant hybridomas for reactivity with purified native or recombinant CD5 antigen; or 5) immunization with a recombinant derivative of the human CD5 antigen followed by screening of the resultant hybridomas for reactivity against a human T cell line expressing CD5.
- A preferred monoclonal antibody for use in this invention is produced by hybridoma cell line XMMLY-H65 (H65) deposited with the American Type Culture Collection in Rockville, Md. (A.T.C.C.) and given the Accession No. HB9286. A preferred antibody is prepared as disclosed herein using the humanized forms of the murine H65 antibody.
- The generation of human MoAbs to a human antigen is also known in the art. See, e.g., Koda and Glassy, Hum. Antibod. Hybridomas, 1(1) 15-22 (1990). Generation of such MoAbs may be difficult with conventional techniques. Thus, it may be desirable to modify the antigen binding regions of the non-human antibodies, e.g., the F(ab′)z or hypervariable regions, to human constant regions (Fc) or framework regions by recombinant DNA techniques to produce substantially human molecules using general modification methods described in, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,397; and EP publications 173,494 and 239,400, which are incorporated herein by reference.
- Alternatively, one may isolate DNA sequences which encode a human MoAb or portions thereof which specifically bind to the human T cell by screening a DNA library from human B cells according to the general protocols outlined by Huse et al., Science 246:1275-1281 (1989), Marks, et al., J. Mol. Biol. 222:581-597 (1991) which are incorporated herein by reference, and then cloning and amplifying the sequences which encode the antibody (or binding fragment) of the desired specificity.
- In addition to the immunoglobulins specifically described herein, other “substantially homologous” modified immunoglobulins can be readily designed and manufactured utilizing various recombinant DNA techniques known to those skilled in the art. Modifications of the immunoglobulin genes may be readily accomplished by a variety of well-known techniques, such as site-directed mutagenesis. See, Gillman and Smith, Gene 8:81-97 (1979); Roberts, et al., Nature 328:731-734 (1987), both of which are incorporated herein by reference. Also, modifications which affect the binding affinity of the antibody may be selected using the general protocol outlined by McCafferty, et al., Nature 348:552-554 (1990), which is incorporated herein by reference.
- In the present invention, an immunoglobulin, antibody, or peptide is specific for a T cell if it binds or is capable of binding T cells as determined by standard antibody-antigen or ligand-receptor assays. Examples of such assays include competitive assays, immunocytochemistry assays, saturation assays, or standard immunoassays such as ELISA, RIA and flow cytometric assays. This definition of specificity also applies to single heavy and/or light chains, CDRS, fusion proteins, or fragments of heavy and/or light chains, which bind T cells alone or are capable of binding T cells if properly incorporated into immunoglobulin conformation with complementary variable regions and constant regions as appropriate.
- In some competition assays, the ability of an immunoglobulin, antibody, or peptide fragment to bind an antigen is determined by detecting the ability of the immunoglobulin, antibody, or peptide to compete with the binding of a compound known to bind the antigen. Numerous types of competitive assays are known and are discussed herein. Alternatively, assays which measure binding of a test compound in the absence of an inhibitor may also be used. For instance, the ability of a molecule or other compound to bind T cells can be detected by labelling the molecule of interest directly, or it may be unlabelled and detected indirectly using various sandwich assay formats. Numerous types of binding assays such as competitive binding assays are known. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,376,110, 4,016,043; Harlow and Lane, Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Publications, N.Y. (1988), which are incorporated herein by reference.
- Assays for measuring binding of a test compound to one component alone rather than using a competition assay are also available. For instance, immunoglobulins may be used to identify the presence of a T cell marker. Standard procedures for monoclonal antibody assays, such as ELISA, may be used see, Harlow and Lane, supra). For a review of various signal producing systems which may be used, see U.S. Pat. No. 4,391,904, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- Other assay formats may involve the detection of the presence or absence of various physiological or chemical changes that result from an antigen-antibody interaction. See Receptor-Effector Coupling—A Practical Approach, (Hulme, ed., IRL Press, Oxford 1990), which is incorporated herein by reference.
- Humanized antibodies of the present invention may be administered to patients having a disease having targetable cellular markers. Such disease include, but are not limited to, autoimmune diseases such as lupus (including systemic lupus erythematosus and lupus nephritis), scleroderma diseases (including lichen sclerosis, morphea and lichen planus), rheumatoid arthritis and the spondylarthropathies, thyroiditis, pemphigus vulgaris,
diabetes mellitus type 1, progressive systemic sclerosis, aplastic anemia, myasthenia gravis, myositis including polymyositis and dermatomyositis, Sjogren's disease, collagen vascular disease, polyarteritis, inflammatory bowel disease (including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), multiple sclerosis, psoriasis and primary biliary cirrhosis; diseases caused by viral infections; diseases caused by fungal infections; diseases caused by parasites; and the like. - Immunoglobulins, antibodies or peptides according to the invention may be administered to a patient either singly or in a cocktail containing two or more antibodies, other therapeutic agents, compositions, or the like, including, but not limited to, immunosuppressive agents, potentiators and side-effect relieving agents. Of particular interest are immunosuppressive agents useful in suppressing allergic or other undesired reactions of a host. Immunosuppressive agents include prednisone, prednisolone, dexamethasone, cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine, 6-mercaptopurine, methotrexate, azathioprine, and gamma globulin. All of these agents are administered in generally accepted efficacious dose ranges such as those disclosed in the Physician's Desk Reference, 41st Ed. (1987). In addition to immunosuppressive agents, other compounds such as an angiogenesis inhibitor may be administered with the anti-pan T immunoglobin. See Peacock, et al., Arthritis and Rheum. 35 (Suppl.), Abstract, for ACR meeting No. B141 (September 1992).
- In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, anti-pan T cell immunoglobulins may be formulated into various preparations such as injectable and topical forms. Parenteral formulations are preferred for use in the invention, most preferred is intramuscular (i.m.) or intravenous (i.v.) administration. The formulations containing therapeutically effective amounts of anti-pan T cell antibodies are either sterile liquid solutions, liquid suspensions or lyophilized versions and optionally contain stabilizers or excipients. Lyophilized compositions are reconstituted with suitable diluents, e.g., water for injection, saline, 0.3% glycine and the like, at a level of from about 0.01 mg/kg of host body weight to about 10 mg/kg or more of host body weight.
- Typically, the pharmaceutical compositions containing anti-pan T cell immunoglobulins are administered in a therapeutically effective dose in a range of from about 0.01 mg/kg to about 5 mg/kg body weight of the treated animal. A preferred dose range of the anti-pan T cell antibody is from about 0.05 mg/kg to about 2 mg/kg body weight of the treated animal. The immunoglobulin dose is administered over either a single day or several days by daily intravenous infusion. For example, for a patient weighing 70 kg, about 0.7 mg to about 700 mg per day is a preferred dose. A more preferred dose is from about 3.5 mg to about 140 mg per day.
- Anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin may be administered systemically by injection intramuscularly, subcutaneously, intrathecally, intraperitoneally, into vascular spaces, or into joints (e.g., intraarticular injection at a dosage of greater than about 1 μg/cc joint fluid/day). The dose will be dependent upon the properties of the anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin employed, e.g., its activity and biological half-life, the concentration of anti-pan T cell antibody in the formulation, the site and rate of dosage, the clinical tolerance of the patient involved, the autoimmune disease afflicting the patient and the like as is well within the knowledge of the skilled artisan.
- The anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin of the present invention may be administered in solution. The pH of the solution should be in the range of about pH 5.0 to about 9.5, preferably pH 6.5 to 7.5. The anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin or derivatives thereof should be in a solution having a pharmaceutically acceptable buffer, such as phosphate, tris (hydroxymethyl) aminomethane-HCl, or citrate and the like. Buffer concentrations should be in the range from about 1 to about 100 mM. A solution containing anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin may also contain a salt, such as sodium chloride or potassium chloride in a concentration from about 50 to about 150 mM. An effective amount of a stabilizing agent such as albumin, a globulin, a detergent, a gelatin, a protamine, or a salt of protamine may also be included and may be added to a solution containing anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin or to the composition from which the solution is prepared systemic administration of anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin is typically made every two to three days or once a week if a chimeric or humanized form is used. Alternatively, daily administration is useful. Usually administration is by either intramuscular injection or intravascular infusion.
- Alternatively, anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin is formulated into topical preparations for local therapy by including a therapeutically effective concentration of anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin in a dermatological vehicle. Topical preparations may be useful to treat skin lesions such as psoriasis and dermatitis associated with lupus. The amount of anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin to be administered, and the anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin concentration in the topical formulations, will depend upon the vehicle selected, the clinical condition of the patient, the systemic toxicity and the stability of the anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin in the formulation. Thus, the physician will necessarily employ the appropriate preparation containing the appropriate concentration of anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin in the formulation, as well as the amount of formulation administered depending upon clinical experience with the patient in question or with similar patients.
- The concentration of anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin for topical formulations is in the range from about 0.1 mg/ml to about 25 mg/ml. Typically, the concentration of anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin for topical formulations is in the range from about 1 mg/ml to about 20 mg/ml. Solid dispersions of anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin as well as solubilized preparations may be used. Thus, the precise concentration to be used in the vehicle may be subject to modest experimental manipulation in order to optimize the therapeutic response. Greater than about 10 mg of anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin/100 grams of vehicle may be useful with 1% w/w hydrogel vehicles in the treatment of skin inflammation. Suitable vehicles, in addition to gels, are oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions using mineral oils, petrolatum, and the like.
- Anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin may be optionally administered topically by the use of a transdermal therapeutic system (Barry, Dermatological Formulations, p. 181 (1983)). While such topical delivery systems have been designed largely for transdermal administration of low molecular weight drugs, by definition they are capable of percutaneous delivery. They may be readily adapted to administration of anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin or derivatives thereof and associated therapeutic proteins by appropriate selection of the rate-controlling microporous membrane.
- Preparations of anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin either for systemic or local delivery may be employed and may contain excipients as described above for parenteral administration and other excipients used in a topical preparation such as cosolvents, surfactants, oils, humectants, emollients, preservatives, stabilizers and antioxidants. Any pharmacologically acceptable buffer may be used, e.g., tris or phosphate buffers.
- Administration may also be intranasal or by other nonparenteral routes. Anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin may also be administered via microspheres, liposomes or other microparticulate delivery systems placed in certain tissues including blood.
- Anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin may also be administered by aerosol to achieve localized delivery to the lungs. This is accomplished by preparing an aqueous aerosol or liposomal preparation. A nonaqueous (e.g., fluorocarbon propellent) suspension may be used. Sonic nebulizers preferably are used in preparing aerosols. Sonic nebulizers minimize exposing the anti-pan T cell antibody or derivatives thereof to shear, which can result in degradation of anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin.
- Ordinarily, an aqueous aerosol is made by formulating an aqueous solution or suspension of anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin together with conventional pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and stabilizers. The carriers and stabilizers will vary depending upon the requirements for the particular anti-pan T cell immunoglobulin, but typically include nonionic surfactants (Tweens, Pluronics, or polyethylene glycol), innocuous proteins such as serum albumin, sorbitan esters, oleic acid, lecithin, amino acids such as glycine, buffers, salts, sugars, or sugar alcohols. The formulations are sterile. Aerosols generally may be prepared from isotonic solutions.
- Each of the foregoing methods are illustrated by way of the following examples, which are not to be construed as limiting the invention. All references cited herein are incorporated by reference.
- A. Identification of Low Risk Residues in a Mouse Variable Domain
- A method of the present invention was utilized to prepare modified antibody variable domains by identifying low risk residues in a mouse monoclonal antibody variable domain, designated H65, which may be modified without diminishing the native affinity of the domain for antigen while still reducing its immunogenicity with respect to humans.
- The light and heavy chains of the variable domain of H65 were determined to most closely resemble the consensus sequences of subgroup 1 (“hK1”) of the human kappa chains and subgroup 3 (“hH3”) of the human heavy chains, respectively. The H65 V/J-segments of the light and heavy chain sequences are aligned with the two human subgroup consensus sequences in
FIGS. 6A and 6B . The H65 sequences are also contained in SEQ ID Nos. 26 and 28. - In
FIGS. 6A and 6B , upper and lower case letters denote the degree of conservation at any given position. For example, an “A” indicates that alanine is present at that position in about 90% to about 100% of the known human sequences of that subgroup (excluding small, incomplete fragments); whereas an “a” indicates that alanine is present only about 50% to about 90% of the time at that position in known human sequences of that subgroup. A lower case “x” indicates conservation of the amino acid at that position less than about 50% of the time. - The line labelled “bind” shows which residues directly affect (−) or do not directly affect (+) antigen binding of CDR loops. The “bury” line indicates exposed (+), buried (−), or interfacial (=) residues. On either the “bind” or “bury” line, a “0” indicates a residue of intermediate significance in terms of antigen binding or placement of the residue, respectively.
-
FIGS. 6A and 6B reveal that the mouse H65 sequences differ from the human consensus sequences with which they are aligned at a total of 94 positions. Sixty-nine of these differences occur at moderate-risk (15 positions) or high risk (54 positions) positions suggesting that the mouse residue at that position may be important for the function of the antibody. The “M/H” line ofFIG. 6 specifically indicates which positions differ between the two pairs of aligned sequences. Based on the considerations of the level of risk and the degree of conservation of the human residue at each position presented in the foregoing paragraphs, those residues in the H65 sequences designated M or m in the M/H line are identified as residues to be kept “mouse” in a humanized sequence, while those designated H or h are identified as residues to be changed to “human.” - Twenty-five differences occur at low risk positions at which the mouse and human sequences differ. At thirteen of those positions (designated “H” on the M/H lines of
FIG. 6 ) the mouse residue aligns with a human consensus amino acid which is highly conserved. Therefore, the mouse residue at that position is identified as one to be changed to the conserved human residue. - At four low risk positions (designated “m”) in which the mouse and the human sequences differ, the mouse residue aligns with a human consensus amino acid which is moderately conserved. However, since the mouse residue is found at that position in other actual sequences of human antibodies (in Kabat's sequences of Proteins of Immunoglobulin Interest), the positions are identified as ones to be kept “mouse.” At seven low risk positions (designated “h”), the mouse residue aligns with a human consensus amino acid which is moderately conserved but the mouse residue is not found at that position in an actual human antibody sequence in the Kabat book. Therefore, those positions are identified as ones to be changed to “human.”
- At one low risk position (designated “m”) in which the mouse and human sequences differ, the mouse residue aligns with a human consensus amino acid which is poorly conserved. Therefore, that position is identified as one to be kept “mouse.”
- The “prop” lines of
FIG. 6 set out the sequences of the light and heavy chains of the H65 antibody variable domain in which the residues identified by the methods of the present invention as those which may be modified without diminishing the native affinity of the H65 variable domain for CD5 are changed to human residues. Thus, the “prop” lines ofFIGS. 6A and 6B set out the amino acid sequences of humanized light (SEQ ID NO: 27) and heavy chains (SEQ ID NO: 29) of the H65 antibody variable domain. - A. Synthesis of H65 V/J Segments of Light and Heavy Chain
- Based on the low risk humanized amino acid sequences of the V/J-segments of the light and heavy chains of the H65 antibody variable domain described in Example 1, synthetic genes for heavy and light chain V/J-segments of H65 were synthesized. The humanized amino acid sequences were reverse-translated with the PCGENE package (Intelligenetics, Mountain View, Calif.). Amino acid codons for each position were chosen which were identical to the mouse codon at positions where the mouse amino acid residue was maintained, or which matched as closely as possible a codon in a native antibody gene based on those gene sequences published in Kabat et al, supra. For expression of humanized whole antibody in mammalian cells, polynucleotides encoding the native mouse leader sequences were included as part of the humanized genes. Each gene, heavy or light, was assembled from six overlapping oligonucleotides and amplified by PCR. Each oligonucleotide was synthesized with a Cyclone Model 8400 DNA Synthesizer (Milligen/Biosearch, Burlington, Mass.). Restriction sites were introduced into the amplified DNA segments for cloning into the final expression vectors for antibody genes (heavy or light). A SalI restriction site was introduced into each V-region upstream of the initiation codon, ATG. A BstEII restriction site was introduced into the 3′-end of the heavy chain J-region, while a HindIII site was introduced into the 3′-end of the light chain J-region.
- B. Construction of the Gene Encoding the Humanized H65 Heavy Chain Variable Region
- The humanized V- and J-segments of the heavy chain were assembled from six oligonucleotides, HUH-G1, HUH-G2, HUH-G3, HUH-G4, HUH-G5, and HUH-G6, the sequences of which are contained in
FIG. 7B and in SEQ ID Nos. 36 to 41, respectively. The oligonucleotides were amplified with PCR primers H65G-2S and H65-G2 (SEQ ID Nos. 42 and 43, respectively). Oligonucleotides greater than 50 bp in length were purified on a 15% polyacrylamide gel in the presence of 25% urea. DNA strand extension and DNA amplification was accomplished with a Taq polymerase and the GeneAmp Kit used according to the manufacturer's instructions (Perkin-Elmer Cetus, Germany). Oligonucleotides containing the synthetic humanized antibody gene were mixed in pairs (HUH-G1+HUH-G2, HUH-G3+HUH-G4, and HUH-G5+HUH-G6) in 100 μl reactions with 1 μg of each DNA, 2.5 U Taq polymerase, 50 mM KCl, 10 mm TRIS-CL pa 8.3, 1.5 mM MgCl2, and 200 uM each dNTP. The tube was incubated in a Coy TempCycler for 1 minute at 94° C., 2 minutes at 55° C. and 20 minutes at 72° C. A portion of each reaction product (40 μl) was mixed in pairs (HUH-G1,2+HUH-G3,4; HUH-G3,4+HUH-G5,6), 2.5 U Taq was added and the tubes were re-incubated at 94° C. for 1 minute, 55° C. for 2 minutes and 72° C. for 20 minutes. The heavy chain gene was then assembled by mixing an equal amount of the HUH-G1,2,3,4 reaction product with the HUH-G3,4,5,6 reaction product and bringing the volume to 100 μl of 2.5 U Taq, 50 mM KCl, 10 mM TRIS-CL pH 8.3, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 200 uM each dNTP, and 0.5 μg of each amplification primer H65G-2S and H65-G2. The reaction was overlaid with mineral oil, and the cycle profile used for amplification was: denaturation 94° C. for 1 minute, annealing 55° C. for 2 minutes, and primer extension at 72° C. for 3 minutes. Primer extension was carried out for 30 cycles. The DNA sequence of the assembled V/J-region is contained inFIG. 8A and in SEQ ID NO: 46. The assembled V/J-region was cut with SalI and BstEII, purified by electrophoresis on an agarose gel, and assembled into a heavy chain expression vector, pING4612, which is similar to that described for heavy chain expression in Robinson et al., Hum. Antib. Hybridomas, 2, 84 (1991) and described in detail in co-pending, co-owned U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/659,409 filed on Sep. 6, 1989, which is incorporated herein by reference. - C. Construction of the Gene Encoding the Humanized H65 Light Chain Variable Region
- The humanized V- and J-segments of the light chain were also assembled from six oligonucleotides, $H65K-1, HUH-K1, HUH-K2, HUH-K3, HUH-K4 and HUH-K5, the sequences of which are contained in
FIG. 7 and in SEQ ID NOs. 30 to 35, respectively. The oligonucleotides were amplified with PCR primers H65K-2S and JK1-HindIII (SEQ ID NOs. 44 and 45, respectively). Oligonucleotides containing the synthetic humanized antibody gene were mixed in pairs ($H65K-K1+HUH-K1, HUH-K2+HUH-K3, and HUH-K4+HUH-K5) and incubated as described above for the heavy chain. A portion of each reaction product (40 μl) was mixed in pairs ($H65K-1/HUH-K1+HUH-K2,3; HUH-K2,3+HUH-K4,5) and treated as above. The light chain gene was then assembled by amplifying the full length gene with PCR primers H65K-2S and JK1-HindIII as outlined above for the heavy chain. The DNA sequence of the assembled V/J-region is contained inFIG. 8B and in SEQ ID NO. 47. The assembled V/J-region was cut with SalI and HindIII, purified by electrophoresis on an agarose gel, and assembled into a light chain antibody expression vector, pING4614 similar to those described for light chain expression in Robinson et al., supra. and in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/659,409, supra. - D. Transient Expression of Humanized H65
- Expression vectors containing the humanized H65 light chain and heavy chain sequences under the control of the Abelson Leukemia virus LTR promoter (described in Robinson et al., supra, and in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/659,409, supra) and 3′ untranslated regions from human gamma-1 (for heavy chain) and mouse kappa (for light chain) were transfected by lipofection into a CHO-K1 strain which expresses the SV40 T antigen. Following treatment with lipofection reagent (Bethesda Research Labs, Gaithersburg, Md.) plus DNA for 5 hours at 37° C., Ham's F12 media containing fetal bovine serum (FBS, final FBS conc.=10%) was added and the cells were incubated for an additional 48 hours. Following this incubation period, the FBS-supplemented media was removed and replaced with serum-free media (EB-CHO) (Irvine Scientific, Irvine, Calif.) and the cells were incubated for an additional 7 days. As a control, the CHO-K1 cells were also transfected with chimeric H65 light chain and heavy chain (each consisting of unmodified mouse V/J-segments fused to a human C-segment) in expression vectors similar to those described above. Following incubation, the supernatants were collected and tested by ELISA for the presence of secreted IgG. All of the supernatants contained about 0.03-0.06 μg/ml IgG.
- The H65 antibody modified according to the methods of the present invention was tested to determine whether it retained native affinity for antigen. Its binding capability was compared to that of a chimeric H65 IgG antibody (consisting of the chimeric H65 light chain and heavy chain described in Example 2) which has the same affinity for CD5 as unmodified H65 mouse antibody.
- A. Preparation of Humanized and Chimeric H65 IaG for Competition Binding
- The humanized H65 (hH65) and chimeric H65 IgG (cH65) from transient transfections described above were concentrated from 4 ml to a final volume of 100 μl by centrifugation using a Centricon 30 (Amicon, Amicon Division of W.R. Grace and Co., Beverley, Mass.) at 4° C. Both hH65 and cH65 concentrates were then washed once with 1.0 ml of phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.2 and reconcentrated to approximately 100 μl. As a control, HB-CHO culture media alone (CM) or media supplemented with purified cH65 (CM+cH65) was concentrated in a similar manner. The final concentrations of hH65 and cH65 were determined by ELISA (anti-human Kappa pre-coat, peroxidase-labelled anti-human gamma for detection) using chimeric IgG as a standard.
- B. Radiolabelling of cH65 IaG
- 20 μg of purified CH65 IgG was iodinated (1 mCi of Na125I, Amersham, Arlington Heights, Ill.) using lactoperoxidase beads (Enzymobeads, BioRad Laboratories, Richmond, Calif.) in PBS. Iodination was allowed to proceed for 45 minutes at 23° C. 125I-cH65 IgG was purified from unbound 125I by gel filtration using a Sephadex G-25-80 column. Concentration and specific activity was determined by measuring the TCA-precipitated counts before and after purification.
- C. Competitive Binding of hH65 for cH65 IaG
- Molt4-M cells, which express CD5 on their surface, were plated into 96 well V-bottom plates at a density of 3×105 cells per well and pelleted by centrifugation. The medium was decanted, and 100 μl of purified cH65 IgG at final concentrations from 200 nM to 0.0017 nM (diluted in 3-fold steps) in “BHD” [DMEM (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium)+It BSA+10 mM Hepes, pH 7.2] (BHD) was added to each well, followed by 100 μl of 125I-cH65 IgG (final concentration 0.1 nM) in BHD. For single point determinations, 50-100 μl of the Centricon® concentrates were added to the wells as follows: hH65 (final concentration=0.54 nM), cH65 (final concentration=0.22 nM), CM+purified cH65 IgG (final concentration=30 nM) and CM alone. These were followed by addition of 125I-cH65 IgG (final concentration=0.1 nM). Binding was allowed to proceed for 5 hours at 4° C. At the end of 5 hours, binding was terminated by three washes with ice cold BHD using centrifugation to pellet cells. Radioactivity was determined by solubilizing bound 125I-cH65 IgG with 1N NaOH and counting in a Beckman Gamma 8000 (Beckman Instruments, Fullerton, Calif.).
- Purified cH65 IgG effectively displaced 125I-cH65 IgG binding with an ED50 of approximately 1.0 nM as shown in
FIG. 9 , wherein open circles indicate cH65, shaded squares indicate hH65 and shaded triangles indicate CM+purified cH65. The hH65 was as effective in displacing 125I-cH65 IgG as were purified cH65 and CM+purified cH65 IgG, at their respective concentrations. No competition was observed with CM as expected. These results demonstrate that the low-risk changes made in the course of modification of hH65 did not diminish the binding affinity of this antibody for the CD5 antigen. - The method of the present invention for preparing modified antibody variable domains by identifying modifiable amino acids was applied to the anti-TAC antibody variable domain sequence [SEQ ID Nos. 49 (light chain) and 53 (heavy chain)] and the resulting modified sequence is compared to the humanized anti-TAC antibody sequence [SEQ ID Nos. 51 (light chain) and 55 (heavy chain)] described in Queen et al., supra.
- The results are shown in
FIGS. 10A and 10B . The sequence modified according to the present invention [SEQ ID Nos. 50 (light chain) and 54 (heavy chain)] is shown on the lines labelled “prop,” and the Queen humanized sequence is shown on lines labelled “Que.” Modifications to the Queen humanized sequence were based on the human EU antibody sequence [SEQ ID Nos. 48 (light chain) and 52 (heavy chain)]. The comparison reveals many differences between the proposed sequence generated by the methods of the present invention and the Queen humanized sequence. The differences which are the most likely to affect binding activity of their humanized antibody are positions 4 (L vs. M), 15 (P vs. V), 36 (F vs. Y), 47 (W vs. L), 71 (Y vs. F), and 80 (A vs. P) in the light chain, as well as position 69 (L vs. I) in the heavy chain. - Active Modified Antibodies May Be Evolved Toward Human
- If it is desirable to humanize an antibody variable domain beyond the changes identified above, further, higher-risk changes may be made to evolve the domain.
- Higher-risk residues may be changed in a round of mutagenesis subsequent to the low risk changes, in smaller groups, so that deleterious mutations may be identified quickly and corrected before binding activity is abolished. (Low risk changes can be made all at once, with little fear of abolishing activity.)
- For example, because in the three-dimensional model of each subunit,
framework 1 and framework 3 (F1 and F3 inFIGS. 2 and 3 ) form semi-independent loops on the surface of the subunit, the moderate or high risk mutations may therefore be divided into four groups (consisting of F1 and F3 in the light subunit and F1 and F3 in the heavy subunit). Four different constructs may be made, each containing higher-risk “human” mutations in only one framework region with the other three frameworks left completely “mouse,” and assayed for activity. This technique avoids the dilemma raised by other humanization methods in which all higher-risk changes are made at once, making it difficult to determine which of the many amino acid changes is responsible for affecting antigen-binding activity. The creation of antibodies according to the invention which possess moderate risk changes are described below. - Identification of Moderate Risk Residues in Mouse Variable Domain
- The human consensus sequences in which moderate risk residues are converted from mouse residues to human residues are represented in
FIGS. 16A and 16B as lines labelled hxl (i.e.,subgroup 1 of the human kappa chain) and hH3 (i.e.,subgroup 3 of the human heavy chain). Symbols in this Figure, for conservation and for risk are used in accordance withFIGS. 6A and 6B . - In the line labelled “mod”, a dot (.) represents a residue which may be mutated from “mouse” to “human” at moderate risk. There are 29 such moderate risk positions.
- The mouse residue matches the human consensus residue more than 50% of the time at 131 positions (102 positions match 90%-100% and 29 positions match 50% to 90%). These positions were not changed.
- The lines labelled M/H in
FIGS. 16A and 16B indicate the 91 positions which differed significantly between the mouse and human sequences (i.e., where the human sequences have the mouse residue less than 50% of the time). Moderate risk positions, designated m in the M/H line, were kept “mouse”; whereas those designated H or h were changed to human. The 25 low risk positions which were already human-like or which were previously humanized (as described supra in Example 1) are designated “{circumflex over ( )}” in the M/H line. Finally, the 54 high risk positions in which the mouse and human residues did not match are designated M and are kept “mouse”. - Fifteen differences occur at moderate-risk positions at which the mouse and human sequences differ. At ten of those positions (designated “H” on the M/H lines of
FIG. 6 ) the mouse residue aligns with a human consensus amino acid which is highly conserved. Therefore, the mouse residue at that position is identified as one to be changed to the conserved human residue. - At moderate risk positions (designated “m”) in which the mouse and the human sequences differ, the mouse residue aligns with a human consensus amino acid which is moderately conserved. However, since the mouse residue is found at that position in other actual sequences of human antibodies (in Kabat's sequences of Proteins of Immunoglobulin Interest, the positions are identified as ones to be kept “mouse.” Although there are no such positions in this particular sequence, such positions may occur in other antibodies.
- At four moderate risk positions (designated “h”), the mouse residue aligns with a human consensus amino acid which is moderately conserved but the mouse residue is not found at that position in an actual human antibody sequence in Kabat, et al. Sequences of Proteins of Immunoglobulin Interest, supra. Therefore, that position is identified as ones to be changed to “human.”
- At one moderate risk position (designated “m”) in which the mouse and human sequences differ, the mouse residue aligns with a human consensus amino acid which is poorly conserved. Therefore, that position is identified as one to be kept “mouse.”
- The humanized H65 heavy chain containing the moderate risk residues was assembled by a strategy similar to that for the low risk residues. The moderate-risk expression vector was assembled from intermediate vectors. The six oligonucleotide sequences (oligos), disclosed in
FIG. 7B and labelled HUH-G11, HUH-G12, HUH-G3, HUH-G4, HUH-G5, and HUH-G6 (the sequences of HUH-G11 and HUH-G12 are set out in SEQ ID Nos. 56 and 57) were assembled by PCR. Oligonucleotides containing the synthetic humanized antibody gene were mixed in pairs (HUH-GIl+HUH-G12, HUH-G3+HUH-G4, and HUH-G5+HUH-G6) in a 100 μl reaction with 1 μg of each DNA and filled in as described above. A portion of each reaction product was mixed in pairs (HUH-G11, 12+HUH-G3, 4; HUH-G3, 4+HUH-G5, 6), 2.5 U Taq was added and samples were reincubated as described above. The in-J-region was assembled by mixing equal amounts of the HUH-Gil, 12, 3, 4 reaction product with the HUH-G3, 4, 5, 6 product, followed by PCR with 0.5 ug of primers H65G-2S and H65-G2 as described above. The reaction product was cut with SalI and BstEII and cloned into the expression vector, similar to that described for heavy chain in Robinson et al., Hum. Antibod. Hybridomas 2:84 (1991), generating pING4617. That plasmid was sequenced with Sequenase (USB, Cleveland), revealing that two residues were altered (a G-A at position 288 and a A-T at position 312, numbered from the beginning of the leader sequence). The correct variable region was restored by substitution of this region from pING4612, generating the expected V-region sequence in pING4619. - An intermediate vector containing the other moderate-risk changes was constructed by PCR assembly of the oligos HUH-G13, HUH-G14, HUH-G15, and HUH-G16 (
FIG. 7A and SEQ ID Nos: 58-61). Oligos HUH-G13+HUH-G14 and HUH-G15+HUH-G16 were mixed and filled in with Vent polymerase (New England Biotabs) in a reaction containing 10 mM KCl, 20 mM TRIS pH 8.8, 10 mM (NH4)2SO2, 2 mM MgSO4, 0.1% Triton X-100, 100 ng/ml BSA, 200 uM of each dNTP, and 2 units of Vent polymerase in a total volume of 100 μl. The reaction mix was incubated at 94° C. for 1 minute, followed by 2 minutes at 50° C. and 20 minutes at 72° C. The reaction products (40 μl) were mixed and amplified with the oligonucleotides H65-G13 and H65-G2 with Vent polymerase in the same reaction buffer and amplified for 25 cycles with denaturation at 94° C. for 1 minute, annealing at 50° C. for 2 minutes and polymerization at 72° C. for 3 minutes. The reaction product was treated with T4 polymerase and then digested with AccI. The 274 base pair (bp) fragment was purified on an agarose gel and ligated along with the 141 bp SalI to AccI fragment from pING4619 into pUC18 cut with SalI and SmaI to generate pING4620. pING4620 contains the entire signal sequence, V-region, and J-region of the moderate-risk H65 heavy chain. - The final expression vector for the moderate-risk H65 heavy chain, pING4621, was assembled by cloning the SalI to BstEII fragment from pING4620 into the same expression vector described above.
- A. Assembly of Moderate-Risk Light Chain
- The moderate-risk humanized V- and J-segments of the light chain were assembled from six oligonucleotides, $H65K-1, HUH-K7, HUH-K6, HUH-K8, HUH-K4 and HUH-K5. The sequences of HUH-K7, HUH-K6 and HUH-K5 are set out in SEQ ID Nos. 62-64 and
FIGS. 7 and 7 A, respectively. The oligonucleotides were amplified with PCR primers H65K-2S and JK1-HindIII. Oligonucleotides containing the synthetic humanized antibody gene were mixed in pairs ($H65-K1+HUH-K7, HUH-K6+HUH-K4+HUH-K5) and incubated with Vent polymerase as described for the moderate-risk heavy chain. A portion of each reaction product (40 ul) was mixed in pairs ($H65H-K1/HUH-K7+HUH-K6, 8; HUH-K6, 8+HUH-K4, 5) and filled in as above. The light chain gene was then assembled by amplifying the full length gene with the PCR primers H65K-2S and JK1-HindIII with Vent polymerase for 25 cycles as outlined above. The assembled V/J region was cut with SaLI and HindIII, purified by electrophoresis on an agarose gel, and assembled into a light chain antibody expression vector, pING4630. - B. Stable Transfection of Mouse Lymphoid Cells for the Production of He3 Antibody
- The cell line Sp2/0 (American Type Culture Collection #CRL1581) was grown in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium plus 4.5 g/l glucose (DMEM, Gibco) plus 10% fetal bovine serum. Media were supplemented with glutamine/penicillin/streptomycin (Irvine Scientific, Irvine, Calif.).
- The electroporation method of Potter, H., et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., USA, 81:7161 (1984) was used. After transfection, cells were allowed to recover in complete DMEM for 24-48 hours, and then seeded at 10,000 to 50,000 cells per well in 96-well culture plates in the presence of selective medium. Histidinol (Sigma) selection was at 1.71 ug/ml, and mycophenolic acid (Calbiochem) was at 6 ug/ml plus 0.25 mg/ml xanthine (Sigma). The electroporation technique gave a transfection frequency of 1-10×10−5 for the Sp2/0 cells.
- The He3 light chain expression plasmid pING4630 was linearized by digestion with PvuI restriction endonuclease and transfected into Sp2/0 cells, giving mycophenolic acid—resistant clones which were screened for light chain synthesis. The best 4 light chain—producing transfectants after outgrowth were pooled into 2 groups of 2 transfectants/pool and each pool was transfected with the He3 heavy chain expression plasmid, pING4621, that had been linearized with PvuI. After selection with histidinol, the clone producing the most light plus heavy chain, Sp2/0-4630+4621 Clone C1718, secreted antibody at approximately 22 μg/ul in the presence of 10−7 in dexamethasone in an overgrown culture in a T25 flask. This transfectoma has been deposited with the American Type Culture Collection, 1230 Parklawn Drive, Rockville, Md., 20852 on Dec. 1, 1992 as ATCC HB 11206.
- C. Purification of He3 Antibody Secreted in Tissue Culture
- Sp2/0-4630+4621 cells are grown in culture medium HB101 (Hana Biologics)+1% Fetal Bovine Serum, supplemented with 10 mM HEPES, 1×Glutamine-Pen-Strep (Irvine Scientific #9316). The spent medium is centrifuged at about 5,000×g for 20 minutes. The antibody level is measured by ELISA. Approximately 200 ml of cell culture supernatant is loaded onto a 2 ml Protein A-column (Sigma Chemicals), equiliberated with PBS (buffer 0.15 M NaCl, 5 mM sodium phosphate, 1 mM potassium phosphate, buffer pH 7.2). The He3 antibody is eluted with a step pH gradient (pH 5.5, 4.5 and 2.5). A fraction containing He3 antibody (9% yield) but not bovine antibody, is neutralized with 1 M Tris pH 8.5, and then concentrated 10-fold by Centrium 30 (Amicon)-diluted 10-fold with PBS, reconcentrated 10-fold by
Centricon 30, diluted 10-fold with PBS, and finally reconcentrated 10-fold. The antibody was stored in 0.25 ml aliquots at −20° C. - D. Affinity Measurements of He3 IgG for CD5
- The affinity of He3 for CD5 was determined using Molt-4M cells, which express CD5 on their surface and I125-labeled chimeric H65 IgG in a competitive binding assay.
- For this assay, 20 μg of chimeric H65 IgG (cH65 IgG) was iodinated by exposure to 100 μl lactoperoxidase-glucose oxidase immobilized beads (Enzymobeads, BioRad), 100 μl of PBS, 1.0 mCi I125 (Amersham, IMS30), 50 μl of 55 mM b-D-glucose for 45 minutes at 23° C. The reaction was quenched by the addition of 20 μl of 105 mM sodium metabisulfite and 120 mM potassium iodine followed by centrifugation for 1 minute to pellet the beads. 125-cH65 IgG was purified by gel filtration using 7 mls of sephadex G25, using PBS (137 mM NaCl, 1.47 mM KH2PO4, 8.1 mM Na2HPO4, 2.68 mM KCl at pH 7.2-7.4) plus 0.1% BSA. 125I-cH65 IgG recovery and specific activity were determined by TCA precipitation.
- Competitive binding was performed as follows: 100 μl of Molt-4M cells were washed two times in ice cold DHB binding buffer (Dubellco's modified Eagle's medium (Gibco, 320-1965PJ), 1.0% BSA and 10 mM Hepes at pH 7.2.-7.4). Cells were resuspended in the same buffer, plated into 96 v-bottomed wells (Costar) at 3×105 cells per well and pelleted at 4° C. by centrifugation for 5 min at 1,000 rpm using a Beckman J S 4.2 rotor; 50 μl of 2×—concentrated 0.1 nM 125I-cH65 IgG in DHB was then added to each well and competed with 50 μl of 2×—concentrated cH65 IgG or humanized antibody in DHB at final antibody concentrations from 100 nM to 0.0017 nM. Humanized antibody was obtained from culture supernatants of Sp2/0 clone C1718 which expresses He3 IgG. The concentration of the antibody in the supernatants was established by ELISA using a chimeric antibody as a standard. Binding was allowed to proceed at 4° C. for 5 hrs and was terminated by washing cells three times with 200 μl of DHB binding buffer by centrifugation for 5 min at 1,000 rpm. All buffers and operations were at 4° C. Radioactivity was determined by solubilizing cells in 100 μl of 1.0 M NaOH and counting in a Cobra II auto gamma counter (Packard). Data from binding experiments were analyzed by the weighted nonlinear least squares curve fitting program, MacLigand, a Macintosh version of the computer program “Ligand” from Munson, Analyt. Biochem., 107:220 (1980). Objective statistical criteria (F, test, extra sum squares principle) were used to evaluate goodness of fit and for discriminating between models. Nonspecific binding was treated as a parameter subject to error and was fitted simultaneously with other parameters.
- The results of the competition binding assay are provided in
FIG. 11 . These results demonstrate that the moderate-risk changes made in He3 IgG result in an antibody with a higher affinity than the chimeric mouse-human form of this antibody (cH65) for its target CD5. In this particular case, moderate risk changes appear to increase affinity slightly, but a decrease may be expected in most cases. - Preparation of XMMLY-H65 Anti-pan T Cell Immunoglobulin
- The murine monoclonal antibody produced by cell line XMMLY-H65 (MoAbH65) is reactive with the human CD5 antigen. The cell line XMMLY-H65 was deposited with the American Type Culture Collection, 12301 Parklawn Drive, Rockville, Md., 20852 and designated Accession No. EB9286.
- MoAb H65 was produced after immunization of BALB/c mice with the human T-cell line HSB-2 originally isolated from a patient with T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia. Adams, et al. Can. Res. 28:1121 (1968). The murine myeloma cell line P3 7 NS/1-Ag-1-4 of Kohler et al. Ernr. J. Immunol. 6:292 (1976) was fused with spleen cells from an immunized mouse by the technique of Galfre et al., Nature 266:550 (1977). One of the resulting hybrid colonies was found to secrete a MoAb that recognizes a pan-T-lymphocyte antigen with a molecular weight of 67 kD, expressed on approximately 95% of peripheral T-lymphocytes [Knowles, Leukocyte Typing II, 1, (E. Reinherz, et al. eds., Springer Verlag (1986)]. This antigen is not present on the surface of any other hematopoietic cells, and the antibody itself has been tested for binding to a large range of normal human tissues and found to be negative for all cells except for T-lymphocytes and a subpopulation of B lymphocytes.
- The H65 antibody-producing hybrid cell line was cloned twice by limiting dilution and was grown as ascites tumors in BALB/c mice.
- MoAb H65 was purified from mouse ascites by a modification of the method of Ey et al. Immunochem. 15:429 (1978). In brief, the thawed mouse ascites was filtered to remove lipid-like materials and was diluted with 2 to 3 volumes of 0.14 M NaPO4, pH 8.0, before application onto an immobilized protein A-Sepharose column of appropriate size. The unbound materials were removed from the column by washing with 0.14 M NaPO4, pH 8.0, until no further change in absorbance at 280 nm was seen. A series of column washes with 0.1 M sodium citrate (pH 6.0, pH 5.0, pH 4.0, and pH 3.0) were then performed to elute bound antibody.
- Peak fractions were pooled, adjusted to pH 7.0 with saturated Tris base, and concentrated by using a cell stirred with Amicon YM10 membrane (Amicon, Lexington, N.Y.). An antibody solution was then dialyzed against phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.0, and was stored frozen at −70° C.
- MoAb H65 is of the IgG1 subclass, as determined by double diffusion in agar with the use of subclass-specific antisera (Miles-Yeda, Ltd. Rehovot, Israel). The serologic characteristics of this antibody and the biochemical characteristics of the gp67 (i.e., CD5) antigen were examined during the First International Workshop on Human Leukocyte Differentiation Antigens (Paris, 1982). MoAb H65 (workshop number: T34), and nine other MoAbs were found to have the same serologic pattern and to immunoprecipiate the gp67 antigen. Knowles, in Reinherz, et al., Leukocyte Typing II, 2: 259-288 (Springer-Verlag, 1986). In other studies, MoAb H65 has been shown to block the binding of FITC-conjugated anti-Leu-1 (Becton Dickson, Mountain View, Calif.) on gp67+cells indicating that both antibodies recognize the same epitope on the gp67 molecule or determinants that are located in such a configuration as to result in blocking by steric hindrance.
- The Use of Lyt-1 In The Prophylactic Treatment of Collagen Induced Arthritis in DBA/IJ Mice
- Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) is a widely utilized model of human rheumatoid arthritis. CIA is characterized by a chronic polyarticular arthritis which can be induced in rodents and in primates by immunization with homologous or heterologous, native Type II collagen. The resulting arthritis resembles rheumatoid arthritis because there are similar histopathologic sequelae, cellular and humoral immune responses and restricted association with specific major histocompatibility complex (MEC) haplotypes.
- Native, heterologous Type II collagen emulsified with complete Freund's adjuvant induces an arthritis-like autoimmune reaction in DBA/IJ mice after a single intradermal tail injection. The mice were obtained from Jackson Laboratories, Bar Harbor, Me. Initially, the arthritis is noticeable as a slight swelling of one or more digits in the fourth week post-immunization. The chronic phase of CIA continually worsens over the ensuing 8 weeks as the arthritis progresses from the digits into the remaining peripheral articulating joints and eventually ends with ankylosis of the involved joints. The histopathology of CIA is characterized by lymphocyte infiltration of the joint space, synovial MHC class II expression and pannus formation. Not all joints are involved on every mouse, so there is a spectrum of arthritic severity. In a group of ten or more mice, the overall arthritic severity develops in a linear fashion over the course of 10-12 weeks.
- The CIA model was used to test the potential efficacy of a monoclonal antibody directed against the pan-T cell surface antigen, Lyt-1, the murine equivalent of CD5. The antibody was administered to the mice before the immunization with Type II collagen. Normal DBA/I mice were also treated with a single 0.4 mg/kg i.v. injection of anti-Lyt-1 and were sacrificed after 72 hours for FACS analysis and for in vitro proliferation assays on spleen and lymph node cells. Any efficacy of this antibody would indicate a beneficial T cell-directed approach in rheumatoid arthritis via the CD5 surface antigen.
- Effects of anti-Lyt-1 on DBA/IJ Spleen Cells and Peripheral Lymph Nodes.
- Antibody 53-7.313 is a rat IgG2a monoclonal antibody (ATCC Accession No. TIB 104) reactive with all alleles of the mouse lymphocyte differentiation antigen, Lyt-1. The IND1 antibody is a mouse IgG1, anti-human melanoma antibody used as a negative control (Xoma Corp., Berkeley, Calif.). All other antibodies were obtained from Pharmingen Inc. (San Diego, Calif.) as direct conjugates for quantitation on a Becton-Dickinson FACScan instrument.
- Male DBA/IJ mice, age 6-8 weeks, were administered a single intravenous dose of either phosphate buffered saline, IND1 or anti-Lyt-1 via the tail vein at 0.4 mg/kg in 0.1 ml of phosphate buffered saline. Mice were sacrificed for analysis three days after dosing. Single cell suspensions of spleens and peripheral lymph nodes were prepared by standard procedures and 1×106 cells were stained with the respective antibodies for fluorescence activated cell sorter (FACS) analysis. Proliferation assays were also performed to provide a second measure of T cell depletion. Cells (1×105/well) were stimulated with Concanavalin A, Interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-2 and H57.597 (a pan α,β T cell receptor antibody) or the Staphylococcal enterotoxins A and B. Cells were cultured for a total of 72 hours and proliferation was quantitated by the addition of 3H-methylthymidine for the last 24 hours. After 72 hours, the cells were harvested with an Inotech INB-384 harvesting and counting system, which collects the cells onto glass fiber filters with subsequent gas proportional beta particle detection. Results are generally expressed as the mean of triplicate wells±SEM in Tables 5 and 6.
- A. FACS Analysis of Lymph Node and Spleen Cells
- FACS analysis of lymph node cells (LNC) and spleen cells (SPC) from each treatment group (n=3/group) were analyzed for percent expression of α,β T cell receptor, CD3, CD4, CD5, and CD8. The results are presented in Table 4.
- In Table 4, statistical significance was determined by Analysis of Variance followed by Duncan's New Multiple Range post-hoc test. These data indicate that administration of anti-Lyt-1 antibody results in a significant depletion of peripheral T lymphocytes at the 72 hour time point. The results could not be explained by residual circulating antibody as other T cell markers (CD3, etc.) are also depleted to a similar extent.
- B. Effects of anti-Lyt-1 Administration on Proliferation Analysis
- In vitro proliferation assays were performed on mice from each treatment group (n=3/group) in response to Concanavalin A, IL-2, IL-2+H57, Staphylococcal enterotoxin A and B (SEA and SEB). The results are presented in Table 5.
- Overall, these data indicate that there is an observable and functional depletion of DBA/IJ T peripheral lymphocytes 72 hours after a single (0.4 mg/kg) intravenous dose of anti-Lyt-1 antibody.
- C. Effects of anti-Lyt-1 on Collagen-induced Arthritisin DBA/IJ Mice.
- A. Materials and Methods
- Male DBA/IJ mice, age 6-8 weeks, were administered the antibodies 53-7.313 (anti-Lyt-1), IND1 (anti-melanoma) or phosphate buffered saline (PBS) in two intravenous (0.4 mg/kg) doses 48 hours apart starting four days prior to immunization with 100 μg of bovine type II collagen emulsified with an equal volume of Fraund's complete adjuvant to a final injection volume of 100 μl. Each dose group was comprised of ten mice. Mice were monitored weekly starting on

after immunization. Individual mice were scored for arthritic severity by grading each paw on a scale from 0 to 2. A score of 1 indicated swelling in up to two toes and a score of 2 indicated swelling in more than two toes up to total paw involvement and ankylosis of the large joint in the later time points. An individual mouse could have a maximum arthritic severity score of 8. Mice were monitored untilday 80 after collagen immunization and then were sacrificed by cervical dislocation. Results are expressed as the mean arthritic score for each dose group. - The changes in arthritic score during the course of the study are shown in
FIG. 12 . The overall conclusion inFIG. 12 is that administration of the anti-Lyt-1 antibody prior to collagen immunization caused a significant decrease in the resulting severity of arthritis. In all of the treatment groups, the appearance of visible symptoms initiated at approximately 30 days after immunization and progressed linearly until the end of the study. The anti-Lyt-1 treatment group began to show ameliorated arthritic symptoms at Day 48 and never developed arthritis to the same extent as the other two groups. The onset of arthritis was not significantly delayed by the anti-Lyt-1 treatment. - Statistical significance was determined by a Repeated Measures Analysis of Variance with one between subjects variable (antibody treatment). A Repeated Measures Analysis was necessary as each mouse was continually monitored for the duration of the study. Thus, the arthritic scores for consecutive days cannot be considered as independent observations contributing to the overall degrees of freedom in the F test for significant differences among groups. A Repeated Measures Analysis uses the degrees of freedom from the number of individuals per group instead of the number of observations. A typical between subjects Analysis of Variance may be inappropriate and may indicate false significance among the treatment groups. A comparison of means in the Treatment by Day after Immunization was done to determine the significance of anti-Lyt-1 treatment relative to PBS and IND1 control groups.
- In conclusion, the intravenous administration of a rat monoclonal antibody reactive to the mouse equivalent of CD5, Lyt-1, is able to significantly decrease T lymphocytes in the spleen and in peripheral lymph nodes after a single 0.4 mg/kg dose. This T cell decrease is the probable mechanism for the significant (p<0.01) decrease in arthritic severity seen with the same anti-Lyt-1 dose prior to type II collagen immunization.
- Depletion of Human T Cells From SCID Mice by Treatment With H65 MoAb
- Severe combined immunodeficient (CB.17 scid/scid; SCID) mice maintain human lymphoid cells for several months following transplantation of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Such chimeric mice, referred to as PBMC/SCID mice, have functional human cells, as shown by the presence of human Ig in their serum. PBMC/SCID mice maintain human T cells in tissues such as spleen and blood. Human T cells present in PBMC/SCID mice are predominantly of a mature phenotype and express T cell antigens, including CD3, CD5, CD7, and CD4 or CD8. In addition, most T cells appear to be activated memory cells, as judged by the expression of HLA-DR and CD45RO. These engrafted T cells appear to be functional since (a) they may provide help to B cells to produce anti-tetanus toxoid antibodies, (b) they produce soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) which may be detected in plasma, and (c) they proliferate in response to mitogenic anti-human CD3 monoclonal antibodies supplemented with IL-2 in vitro.
- Because of the presence of human T and B cells, PBMC/SCID mice offer an in vivo model system in which to evaluate the efficacy of anti-human T cell drugs, such as H65 MoAb, a mouse IgG1 directed against human CD5.
- The SCID mice were obtained from Taconic, Germantown, N.Y., and at 6 to 7 weeks of age were injected with 200 mg/kg cyclophosphamide intraperitoneally (i.p.) to ensure engraftment of human PBMC. Two days later, 25 to 40×106 human PBMC, isolated by Ficoll-Hypaque density gradient centrifugation from lymphapheresis samples obtained from normal donors (HemaCare Corporation, Sherman Oaks, Calif.), were injected i.p.
- At 2 to 3 weeks after PBMC injection, the mice were bled from the retro-orbital sinus and levels of human immunoglobulin (Ig) and human sIL-2R in plasma were quantified using sandwich ELISAs. Mice with low or undetectable levels of these human proteins were eliminated from the study and the remainder were divided into the various treatment groups (6 per group). The mice were then administered H65 MoAb (0.2 or 0.02 mg/kg/day), H65-based F(ab′)2 fragment (2 mg/kg/day) or vehicle (buffer) intravenously (i.v.) for 10 consecutive daily injections one day after the last injection, the mice were bled and spleens were collected. Single cell suspensions of blood cells and splenocytes were prepared by standard methods. Recovered cells were then assayed for human T cell surface markers using flow cytometry.
- Two to five hundred thousand cells were stained with the following FITC— or PE-conjugated Abs (Becton-Dickinson, Mountain View, Calif.): HLe-1-FITC (anti-CD45), Leu-2-FITC•(anti-CD5), and Leu-3-PE (anti-CD4). Samples were analyzed on a FACScan using log amplifiers. Regions to quantify positive cells were set based on staining of cells obtained from naive SCID mice. The absolute numbers of human antigen-positive cells recovered from SCID tissues were determined by multiplying the percent positive cells by the total number of cells recovered from each tissue sample. The total number of leukocytes in blood was calculated using a theoretical blood volume of 1.4 ml/mouse. Statistical comparisons between treatment groups were made using the Mann-Whitney U test.
- The number of human T cells (CD4 plus CD8 cells) recovered from spleens and blood of PBMC/SCID mice following treatment with H65 MoAb or vehicle (control) is shown in
FIG. 13 . Significantly lower numbers of T cells were recovered from spleens and blood of mice treated with either 0.2 or 0.02 mg/kg/day H65 MoAb as compared to vehicle-treated mice. In contrast, treatment with 2 mg/kg/day of an H65-based F(ab′)2 fragment did not significantly deplete human T cells from spleens or blood, even though a 10 to 100-fold higher dose was used (FIG. 14 ). - These results indicate that an anti-human CD5 MoAb depletes human T cells in an experimental animal model. The ability of this MoAb to deplete human T cells from SCID mice is apparently dependent on the Fc portion of the MoAb, as an F(ab′)2 fragment was ineffective.
- The Use of OX19 Monoclonal Antibody In The Prophylactic Treatment of Collagen Induced Arthritis in Diabetes-Resistant BB Rats
- Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in the diabetes-resistant Biobreeding (DR BB) rat is a particularly relevant animal model of human rheumatoid arthritis, in that the DR BB rat RT1.Dβ gene encodes a nucleotide sequence homologous to the human HLA-DRβ gene reported to be associated with rheumatoid arthritis susceptibility. In this model, DR BB rats are administered a single intradermal tail injection of heterologous Type II collagen emulsified with incomplete Freund's adjuvant. Development of the arthritis is considerably faster than in the DBA/1J CIA model. Onset of clinical signs occurs 1.5 to 2 weeks after collagen immunization, with peak swelling observed a few days after onset. Incidence is generally quite high (>85% of animals immunized). The swelling is generally severe, involves the entire footpad and ankle joint, and is restricted to the hindlimbs. Histopathological examination has revealed that the arthritis begins as a proliferative synovitis with pannus formation at the joint margins that is followed by a bidirectional erosion of both the outer (unmineralized) and inner (mineralized) layers of cartilage.
- This experiment uses the DR BB CIA rat model to assess the efficacy of a monoclonal antibody (MoAb), OX19 directed against the equivalent of the CD5 antigen in the rat. The antibody was administered to the rats prior to immunization with Type II collagen. Normal Sprague-Dawley rats were also treated with a single 0.5 mg/kg i.v. injection and were sacrificed after 3 hours for evaluation of MoAb binding to T cells, or after 2 days for quantitation of T cells in lymphoid tissues using flow cytometry.
- A. Effects of OX19 MoAb on T Cells In Lymphoid Tissues of Normal Spraoue-Dawley Rats
- OXI9 MoAb is a mouse IgG1 directed against the equivalent of rat CD5 antigen present on rat T cells. OXl9 hybridoma is available from the European Collection of Animal Cell Cultures (ECACC) and has ECACC No. 84112012. H65 MoAb, a mouse IgG1 reactive against human CD5, was used as an isotype matched negative control. Fluorescein-conjugated antibodies directed against surface antigens on rat pan-T cells (W3/13), CD4 cells (W3/25) and CD5 cells (OX8) were obtained from Accurate Chemical and Scientific Corporation, Westbury, N.Y. for flow cytometric quantitation of T cells in rat lymphoid tissues. Phycoerythrin-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG1 (Caltag Laboratories, South San Francisco, Calif.) was used to detect OX19 MoAb bound to rat T cells in a two-color analysis.
- Male Sprague-Dawley rats (Simonsen Laboratories, Gilroy, Calif.), 100 to 150 grams, were administered a single i.v. bolus injection of OX19 MoAb (0.5 mg/kg) or control MoAb (0.5 mg/kg) in phosphate buffered saline containing 0.1% Tween 80 (PBS/Tween). Animals were sacrificed at 3 hours (binding experiment) or 2 days (depletion experiment) after dosing. Single cell suspensions of blood, spleens and lymph nodes were prepared by standard procedures and 1×106 cells were stained with appropriate antibodies for FACS analysis.
- A. Binding of OX19 MoAb to Rat T Cells In Vivo.
- Blood, spleen and lymph node cells from one animal in each treatment group were analyzed for percentage of CD4 and CD8 T cells, and percentage of CD4 and CD8 T cells that also stained positively for surface-bound mouse IgG1. The results are presented in Table 6. T cells were depleted from the blood at 3 hours after OX19 MoAb administration. Almost all of the T cells that remained in the blood, and most of those present in the spleen and lymph nodes in the OX19 MoAb-treated rat also stained positively for surface-bound mouse IgG1, indicating that the dose of OX19 MoAb used was sufficient to saturate most of the T cells in these major lymphoid organs. These results provide doses useful in therapeutic applications.
- B. Effect of OX19 MoAb Treatment on T Cell Subpopulations in Rat Lymphoid Tissues.
- Blood, spleen and lymph node cells from two animals in each treatment group were analyzed for percentage of pan-T, CD4 and CD8 cells. The results are presented in Table 7 as the mean of the two animals. OX19 MoAb treatment resulted in depletion of T cells from all tissues examined as compared to treatment with the control MoAb. These results also provide appropriate doses to be used in therapeutic applications using antibodies according to the invention.
- Effect of OX19 MoAb Treatment on Development of Collagen-Induced Arthritis in DR BB Rats
- Male DR BB/Wor rats (obtained from the University of Massachusetts breeding facility; 8 per treatment group),
age 6 weeks, were administered i.v. injections of OX19 MoAb (0.5 mg/kg), control MoAb (0.5 mg/kg) or buffer (PBS/Tween) on day 7 andday 4 prior to immunization at the base of the tail onday 0 with 0.3 mg of bovine Type II collagen emulsified in 0.15 mlTABLE 6 Bind of OX19 MoAb to Rat T Cells In Vivo. % Positive Cell Tissue Treatment CD4 CD4/mIgG1* CD8 CDB/mIgG1* Blood H65 MoAb 47.0 6.7 11.1 5.7 OX19 8.7 96.2 4.1 70.2 Spleen H65 MoAb 23.1 14.8 4.4 20.6 OX19 MoAb 16.4 84.8 3.4 73.6 Lymph H65 MoAb 66.9 4.2 7.4 6.5 Node OX19 MoAb 54.7 96.2 7.3 96.8

of incomplete Freund's adjuvant. Rats were scored daily for arthritis beginning 8 days after collagen immunization. Severity was graded on a scale from 0 to 2, with a score of 1 indicating moderate swelling and a score of 2 indicating severe swelling. An individual animal could have a maximum arthritic severity score of 4 if there was bilateral hindlimb involvement. - The changes in arthritic score during the course of the study are shown in
FIG. 15 and the arthritic incidence for each treatment group is presented in Table 8. - Control (buffer and control MoAb-treated) rats developed severe, predominantly bilateral hindlimb arthritis between
days - In conclusion, a 0.5 mg/kg intravenous dose of a mouse MoAb directed against the rat equivalent of CD5 was found to saturate and subsequently deplete T cells from lymphoid tissues of normal rats. This T cell depletion is the probable mechanism for the complete inhibition of arthritis development observed when the MoAb was administered prior to Type II collagen immunization in DR BB rats.

To determine optimum dose and schedule, patients are treated at each dose and schedule in a dose escalating regimen. Patients are monitored using several indicia, including joint swelling and tenderness scores. Results are shown inFIG. 11 . - Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystemic disease characterized by inflammation and autoimmunity. Some of the more frequent manifestations include fatigue, anemia, fever, rashes, photosensitivity, alopecia, arthritis, pericarditis, pleurisy, vasculitis, nephritis and central nervous system disease. Under the Revised Criteria for Classification of SLE, a person is said to have SLE for purposes of clinical studies if any four or more of the aforementioned specified criteria are present, serially or simultaneously, during any interval of observation.
- Anti-CD5 antibody prepared as described above is administered to patients at doses of about 0.005 to 2.0 mg/kg/day for a period of 1-5 days, preferably 1-2 days. Alternatively, the dose may be given every 2-30 days instead of daily if chimeric and humanized MoAbs are used due to their increased half-life. To determine optimum dose and schedule, patients are treated at each dose and schedule in a dose escalating regimen.
- Psoriasis is a disease of autoimmune etiology which Classically appears as plaques over the elbows and knees, although other areas of the skin are frequently afflicted. Abnormalities of the nails and the joints are also frequently observed. Particularly inflammatory joint disease can occur in an occasionally erosive and severe form.
- Anti-CD5 antibody prepared as described above is administered to patients at doses of about 0.005 to 2.0 mg/kg/day for a period of 1-5 days, preferably 1-2 days. Alternatively, the dose may be given every 2-30 days instead of daily if chimeric and humanized MoAbs are used due to their increased half-life. To determine optimum dose and schedule, patients are treated at each dose and schedule in a dose escalating regimen.
- Clinical observation includes evaluation of the patient's overall status as well as special attention to the psoriatic plaques. Additionally, monitoring of laboratory parameters such as white blood count and differential are recommended. Symptoms which may indicate poor tolerance to therapy or complications include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, rash, fever, chills and syncope. Any unexplained depletion in white blood cells other than lymphocytes is an indication to discontinue therapy. Preferably, differential analysis of lymphocytes is carried out. That is, analysis of the total number of T cells and B cells should be determined.
- There are two major types of diabetes. Type I has classically been associated with a requirement for exogenous insulin. Type I typically occurs before the age of 40 and is associated with an absence of insulin secretion. The pancreas of patients with long-term Type I insulin-dependent diabetes are devoid of pancreatic islet cells. There is a large body of evidence that the etiology of Type I insulin-dependent diabetes (IDDM) is autoimmune.
- Patients are diagnosed as having IDDM based on the criteria established by the American Diabetes Association. Anti-CD5 antibody prepared as described above is administered to patients at doses of about 0.005 to 2.0 mg/kg/day for a period of 1-5 days, preferably 1-2 days. Alternatively, the dose may be given every 2-30 days instead of daily if chimeric and humanized MoAbs are used due to their increased half-life. To determine optimum dose and schedule, patients are treated at each dose and schedule in a dose escalating regimen.
- During the study, the patients were monitored by clinical and laboratory parameters. Clinical symptoms indicating poor tolerance to therapy or complications include fatigue, vomiting, rash, fever, chills, and syncope. Laboratory evaluation included white blood cell counts with differential analysis daily and blood glucose levels at least twice a day.
- Using diagnostic criteria predictive of the onset of Type I diabetes, patients may be selected for prophylactic treatment. This treatment follows the dose and schedule noted above for treatment of clinical insulin dependent diabetes.
