AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a new protein that can attach to a protein called PSMA, which is found in high amounts in prostate cancer cells. The new protein has a longer lifespan in the blood and is less likely to be taken up by cancer cells. This means that the new protein can stay on the surface of cancer cells for longer periods of time and potentially help treat prostate cancer.

Problems solved by technology

A mutation in this gene may be associated with impaired intestinal absorption of dietary folates, resulting in low blood folate levels and consequent hyperhomocysteinemia.
As a result, capromab may not be of therapeutic benefit (Liu et al., Cancer Res.

Isolation of Murine Variable Domains from 107-1A4 and Preparation of Humanized Variants

[0227]Murine variable domains were cloned from hybridoma cells expressing the 107-1A4 monoclonal antibody specific for human PSMA (see Brown et al, 1998, Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases. 1: 208-215). Total RNA was isolated from the hybridoma using RNeasy® Protect Mini kit (QIAGEN Inc., 74124) according to the manufacturer's instructions. SMART™ RACE cDNA amplification kit (Clontech Laboratories, Inc., 634914) was used to generate 5′RACE-ready cDNA with oligo(dT) primer according to the manufacturer's instructions. VH and VL regions of antibody were PCR-amplified from cDNA by SMART™ RACE protocol using pools of proprietary degenerate gene specific primers for different murine VK or VH gene families. PCR amplification products were confirmed by gel electrophoresis, and correct sized bands were isolated and cloned into pCR®2.1-TOPO® plasmid vector using the TOPO® TA Cloning kit according to ma...

Heterodimeric Molecules

[0231]PSMA-specific Interceptor molecules were made using Interceptor scaffolding as generally disclosed in International Appl. Nos. PCT / US2010 / 62436 and PCT / US2010 / 62404. Briefly, PSMA-specific polypeptide heterodimers were made by co-expressing two different polypeptides chains, one polypeptide chain comprising an immunoglobulin CH1 heterodimerization domain and the other polypeptide chain comprising an immunoglobulin CL heterodimerization domain. The day before transfection HEK293 cells were suspended at a cell concentration of 0.5×106 cells / ml in GIBCO® FreeStyle™ 293 expression medium (Invitrogen). 250 mls of cells were used for a large transfection, and 60 mls of cells were used for a small transfection. On transfection day, 320 ul of 293Fectin™ transfectin reagent (Invitrogen) was mixed with 8 mls of media. At the same time, 250 ug of DNA of each of the single chain polypeptide was mixed with the 8 mls of media and incubated for 5 minutes. After 15 minu...

Abstract

The present invention relates to mono-specific and multi-specific polypeptide therapeutics that specifically target cells expressing prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) and are useful for the treatment of prostate cancer (e.g., castrate-resistant prostate cancer), tumor-related angiogenesis or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). In one embodiment, the multi-specific polypeptide therapeutics bind both PSMA-expressing cells and the T-cell receptor complex on T cells to induce target-dependent T-cell cytotoxicity, activation and proliferation.
