The present invention relates to an antibody. Specifically, the present invention relates to an antibody mutant, a composition and/or conjugate containing the antibody mutant, and use thereof.
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are targeted therapeutic drugs that combine the specificity of antibodies with the cytotoxicity of cytotoxic therapeutic agents. ADCs are mainly considered as candidates for the treatment of various cancers. ADCs contain antibodies linked to therapeutic drugs. In addition, bispecific antibodies can also be synthesized quickly and in large quantities from two existing antibodies by chemical coupling. For example, two IgG molecules or two Fab fragments are linked by a coupling reagent. It is also reported to prepare CovX-Bodies by using an abzyme [1], wherein two polypeptides with target neutralization effects are linked to two Fab arms of one IgG molecule respectively. Therefore, site-directed coupling technology can also be applied to the preparation of novel bispecific antibodies [1].
Antibody molecules contain many groups that can be used for modification or crosslinking, such as amino group and carboxyl group. However, the large number of these groups in the antibody molecule results in the randomness of antibody coupling site. There are also many methods that rely on disulfide bonds on antibody molecules, wherein since the number of disulfide bond is limited and the position of disulfide bond is relatively fixed, the antigen-binding site of antibody will not be shielded after the drug is coupled. These characteristics make the disulfide bond on the antibody become one of the suitable sites for antibody coupling. However, the reduction of these endogenous disulfide bonds is non-specific, that is, the disulfide bonds in the hinge region and the disulfide bonds between the heavy and light chains are all reduced, resulting in the coupling product being a mixture of diverse components [2,3].
Cysteine thiols are reactive at neutral pH, which is different from most amines whose protonation and nucleophilicity decrease at near pH7. Due to the relative reactivity of free thiols (sulfhydryl groups), proteins with cysteine residues usually exist in oxidized form as disulfide-linked oligomers or have internally bridged disulfide group. Cysteine sulfhydryl groups in antibodies are generally more reactive to electrophilic coupling reagents than antibody amines or hydroxyl groups, that is, more nucleophilic. Therefore, the amino acid residues in the antibody can be mutated to a cysteine, and then the cysteine can be used for conjugation reaction. Junutula et al. [4] researched and developed a PHESELECTOR (phage ELISA for selection of reactive thiols) technology, and this technology was applied to screen and obtain an IgG mutant THIOMAB containing reactive Cys. The product obtained after coupling the IgG mutant THIOMAB with drug is called TDC (THIOMAB-drug conjugates). Compared with conventional ADCs, the corresponding TDC obtained by PHESELECTOR technology shows better therapeutic effects, but there are also drawbacks: when a full-length antibody is expressed in a mammalian cell, the introduced Cys can form a disulfide bond with a glutathione or other sulfhydryl-containing substance in the culture medium, so the introduced Cys needs to be reduced into a free form for coupling, but meanwhile, the interchain disulfide bond of the antibody will also be opened, which needs to be oxidized again to restore to be a complete antibody; and this additionally introduced sulfhydryl group may also mistakenly form disulfide bonds between the two Fabs of the antibody during the whole process of THIOMAB formation[5-7].
When appropriate sites are selected for cysteine mutation, the sulfhydryl group on the cysteine obtained by mutation can always remain in a free state during the expression and purification process, and can be directly applied to downstream coupling reactions without any pretreatment. Therefore, the applicant has developed reasonable cysteine mutation sites, and the cysteine sulfhydryl groups obtained after mutations at these sites are easier to maintain a free state and have higher reactivity. Afterwards, the antibody is coupled to another functional molecule (an antibody fragment, polypeptide or small molecule drug) through a maleimide-containing linker.
The present invention mainly provides a site that can be mutated to a cysteine in a constant region of an antibody, wherein the mutation introduces a selected site-specific conjugation site to allow the antibody, fragment or derivative thereof to be conjugated with an effective loading, wherein the one or more mutations include a mutation at position 166 of a light chain (according to Kabat numbering system).
