Embodiment 1

[0151] Example 1 - Generation of Anti-CTLA-4 Antibodies

[0152] Human CTLA-4-ECD protein (Acro Bio) was used as an immunogen to generate anti-CTLA-4 antibodies. The use of human immunoglobulin transgenic mouse technology to develop and prepare human antibodies was first described in Abgenix (xeno mouse and Medarex (HuMab "mouse"); Lonberg et al., 1994, Nature, 368:856-859; Lonberg and Huszar, 1995, Internal Rev. Immunol., 13:65-93; Harding and Lonberg, 1995, Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci., 764:536-546).

[0153]HCAb mice were immunized three times every two weeks with human CTLA-4-ECD protein at 20 mg / mouse, and six of them were immunized an additional five times at 44 mg / mouse. With the exception of the first injection, in which Stimune (Prionics) was used as adjuvant, all booster immunizations were performed with Ribi adjuvant (Sigma Adjuvant System S6322-1VL). After immunization, single cell suspensions were isolated from mouse bone marrow, spleen and lymph nodes. Mouse plasma ce...

Embodiment 2

[0165] Example 2-Preparation and purification of anti-CTLA-4 antibody

[0166] Step 1. Preparation of HEK 293F cells overexpressing hCTLA-4

[0167] The nucleotide sequence encoding human CTLA-4 (SEQ ID NO: 196, amino acid sequence encoding SEQ ID NO: 197) was subcloned into pcDNA3.1 vector (Clontech) to obtain a plasmid. HEK293 and CHO-K1 cells (Invitrogen) were transiently transfected with the plasmid using PEI, and the transformants were incubated in DMEM medium containing 0.5 g / mL penicillin / streptomycin and 10% (w / w) fetal bovine serum (FBS). cultured for 2 weeks. Limiting dilutions were performed in 96-well culture plates, and then incubated at 37°C with 5% (v / v) CO 2 Plates were incubated for approximately 2 weeks. Single clones were expanded in 6-well plates, and the expanded clones were screened by flow cytometry using a commercially available anti-hCTLA-4 antibody (R&D Systems). Clones showing higher growth rates and higher fluorescence intensities as measured by...

Embodiment 3

[0175] Example 3 - Characterization of lead candidate antibodies

[0176] 293 cells were stably transfected with the pTT5 plasmid containing the nucleic acid sequence encoding human CTLA-4 (SEQ ID NO: 196) to generate 293F cells stably expressing human CTLA-4 (herein referred to as 293-hCTLA-4 cells). Additional 293 cells were stably transfected with a pIRES plasmid containing the nucleic acid sequence encoding full-length cynomolgus CTLA-4 (SEQ ID NO: 198) to generate 293 cells stably expressing cynomolgus CTLA-4 (referred to herein as 293 -cynoCTLA-4 cells). 293-hCTLA-4 and 293-cynoCTLA-4 cells were cultured and expanded to 90% confluency in T-75 flasks. The medium was aspirated and the cells were washed twice with HBSS (Hanks' Balanced Salt Solution, Invitrogen). Cells were treated with enzyme-free cell dissociation solution (Versene solution, Invitrogen) and collected. Cells were then washed twice with HBSS, cell count determined, and 2x10 6 cells / mL and resuspend the ...

Abstract

Disclosed are isolated monoclonal antibodies, comprising a CD152-binding domain, wherein the antibodies bind specifically to human CD152. Methods of making and using the antibodies to treat diseases including cancers and autoimmune diseases are also provided.

Description

[0001] field of invention [0002] The present invention relates to a monoclonal anti-CTLA-4 antibody, a nucleic acid encoding the antibody, an expression vector and a recombinant cell containing the nucleic acid, and a pharmaceutical composition containing the antibody. Also provided are methods of making the antibodies and methods of using the antibodies to treat diseases including cancer and autoimmune diseases. [0003] Background of the invention [0004] Cancer immunotherapy is the latest breakthrough in cancer treatment, which uses a patient's own immune system to attack tumor cells. Promoting a robust CD8 T cell-dependent cytotoxic response in the tumor microenvironment is important for generating effective antitumor immune responses. However, tumors tend to evade immune surveillance by exploiting T cell suppressive mechanisms. Depletion of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) leads to anergy of cytotoxic T cells and escape of tumor cells (Wherry and Kurachi, 2015, N...
