Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention provides antibody Fc regions in which
the amino acid sequence of a naturally-occurring antibody Fc region
has been modified, antibodies containing such an Fc region,
pharmaceutical compositions containing such an antibody, and
methods for producing them.
BACKGROUND ART
[0002] Antibodies are drawing attention as pharmaceuticals as they
are highly stable in plasma and have few side effects. In
particular, a number of IgG-type antibody pharmaceuticals are
available on the market and many antibody pharmaceuticals are
currently under development (Non-patent Documents 1 and 2).
[0003] Recently, active research has been conducted on enhancing
antibody functions by introducing artificial amino acid
modification into antibody Fc regions. Specifically, Fc regions
with improved pharmacokinetics, Fc regions with enhanced ADCC
activity, which is an effector function, and Fc regions with
reduced ADCC activity in neutralizing antibodies have been studied
(Non-Patent Documents 3-6). However, such Fc region modifications
are known to cause adverse effects on physical properties of
antibodies. For example, a modified Fc region with enhanced ADCC
activity has been reported to show a decrease in melting
temperature by approximately 20.degree. C. (Non-Patent Document 6).
Furthermore, there are reports that modified Fc regions with
reduced ADCC activity show a decrease in melting temperature by
approximately 5.degree. C., readily undergo digestion by
hydrolases, and readily degrade under acidic conditions (Non-Patent
Documents 7-9). Furthermore, modified Fc regions with improved
retention in blood have been reported to show reduced thermal
stability and storage stability (Patent Document 1).
[0004] Thus, in most of the modified Fc regions discovered so far,
the enhancement of their functions has resulted in loss of their
excellent stability, which is one of the advantages of
antibodies.
[0005] As an effort to improve stability, there is a report of a
technique for amino acid modification in the CH2 domain to
introduce cysteines (Non-Patent Document 10). It has been reported
that formation of new disulfide bonds by introduction of cysteines
increases the thermal stability by approximately 10.degree. C. to
20.degree. C. In this report, however, only the CH2 domain was
evaluated for thermal stability; therefore, the thermal stability
of the IgG form is unknown. Furthermore, the formation of
additional disulfide bonds is expected to cause an increase in
heterogeneity.
[0006] As described above, there has so far been no report on an Fc
region that is excellent in both activity and stability.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0022] The present invention was achieved in view of the above
circumstances. An objective of the present invention is to provide
polypeptides whose stability has been improved by modifying amino
acids in the antibody Fc region.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0023] The present inventors considered that, in the production of
modified Fc regions, it would be desirable to enhance their
function while maintaining antibody stability, or to recover
stability that had been reduced due to functional enhancement.
[0024] The present inventors conducted dedicated studies, and as a
result succeeded in obtaining polypeptides with an antibody Fc
region which have been modified in at least one amino acid in a
loop region of the Fc region and which thereby have improved

MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0033] The present invention provides polypeptides having an
antibody Fc region whose stability has been improved as compared to
that of a parent polypeptide by introducing amino acid
substitutions into a loop region of the Fc region.
[0034] Furthermore, the present invention provides methods for
improving stability of a polypeptide having an antibody Fc region
as compared to that of a parent polypeptide by introducing amino
acid substitutions to a loop region of the antibody Fc region.
Furthermore, the present invention provides methods for producing a
polypeptide having an antibody Fc region whose stability has been
improved as compared to that of a parent polypeptide by introducing
amino acid substitutions to a loop region of the Fc region.
[0035] In the present invention, polypeptides generally refer to
peptides or proteins of about ten or more amino acids in length. In
addition, they are typically polypeptides of biological origin, but
are not particularly limited. For example, they may be polypeptides
composed of artificially designed sequences. They may also be any
of naturally-occurring polypeptides, synthetic polypeptides,
recombinant polypeptides, and such. Moreover, polypeptides may be
antibodies. Preferred examples of polypeptides of the present
invention include human IgG. When an antibody used is a human IgG,
the type of its constant region is not limited, and human IgG
isotypes (subclasses) such as IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4 may be
used.
[0036] Herein, "parent polypeptide" refers to a polypeptide which
serves as a basis or reference in the production of polypeptides
having an antibody Fc region of the present invention. More
specifically, it can be a polypeptide having an antibody Fc region
which has not yet been modified in at least one of the amino acids
of the Fc region. The parent polypeptide in the present invention
may be, for example, a polypeptide having an Fc region of a
naturally-occurring IgG, or may be a polypeptide having an Fc
region of IgG in which a modification other than the amino acid
modifications of the present invention has been made to a
naturally-occurring IgG.
[0037] Naturally-occurring IgGs refer to polypeptides that include
an amino acid sequence identical to those of IgGs found in nature,
and belong to a class of antibodies virtually encoded by
immunoglobulin gamma genes. For example, naturally-occurring human
IgG refers to naturally-occurring human IgG1, naturally-occurring
human IgG2, naturally-occurring human IgG3, naturally-occurring
human IgG4, and such. Naturally-occurring IgGs also include mutants
and such that naturally occur from them.
[0038] The Fc region of a naturally-occurring IgG refers to an Fc
region containing an amino acid sequence identical to that of the
Fc region derived from an IgG found in nature. The Fc regions of
naturally-occurring IgGs are shown in FIG. 3 (SEQ ID NOs: 11 to
14), and refer to, for example, an Fc region derived from
naturally-occurring human IgG1, an Fc region derived from
naturally-occurring human IgG2, an Fc region derived from
naturally-occurring human IgG3, an Fc region derived from
naturally-occurring human IgG4, and such. The Fc regions of
naturally-occurring IgGs also include mutants and such that
naturally occur from them.
[0039] In the present invention, amino acid positions are defined
according to Kabat (Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest
(National Institute of Health, Bethesda, Md., 1987 and 1991).
Herein, the sites of amino acid modifications in the antibody Fc
region are shown according to EU numbering based on Kabat's amino
acid positions.
[0040] In the present invention, portions linking .alpha. helices
and .beta. sheets are called loops, and there are no rules on their
length or structure. In the present invention, a portion linking
two .beta. sheets in the CH2 domain is referred to as a loop, a
loop region, a loop portion, or a loop structure. Specific amino
acid positions of the loop region subjected to modification in the
present invention are selected from the group consisting of
position 234 (EU numbering), position 235 (EU numbering), position
236 (EU numbering), position 237 (EU numbering), position 238 (EU
numbering), position 239 (EU numbering), position 247 (EU
numbering), position 250 (EU numbering), position 265 (EU
numbering), position 266 (EU numbering), position 267 (EU
numbering), position 268 (EU numbering), position 269 (EU
numbering), position 270 (EU numbering), position 271 (EU
numbering), position 295 (EU numbering), position 296 (EU
numbering), position 298 (EU numbering), position 300 (EU
numbering), position 307 (EU numbering), position 309 (EU
numbering), position 315 (EU numbering), position 324 (EU
numbering), position 325 (EU numbering), position 326 (EU
numbering), position 327 (EU numbering), position 329 (EU
numbering), position 330 (EU numbering), position 333 (EU
numbering), position 335 (EU numbering), position 337 (EU
numbering), position 360 (EU numbering), position 385 (EU
numbering), position 386 (EU numbering), position 387 (EU
numbering), position 389 (EU numbering), position 428 (EU
numbering), and position 433 (EU numbering).
[0041] "Fc region" refers to a region containing a fragment
composed of a hinge portion or a part thereof, and CH2 and CH3
domains of an antibody molecule. An Fc region of IgG class means,
for example, from cysteine at position 226 to the C terminus or
from proline at position 230 to the C terminus according to Kabat's
EU numbering (herein also referred to as EU index) (see FIG. 3),
but is not limited thereto.
[0042] An Fc region may be obtained preferably by partially
digesting IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4 monoclonal antibodies or such
using a protease such as pepsin and then re-eluting a fraction
adsorbed onto protein A column. The protease is not particularly
limited as long as it can digest a full-length antibody so that Fab
and F(ab')2 will be produced in a restrictive manner by
appropriately setting the enzyme reaction conditions such as pH,
and examples include pepsin and papain.
[0043] The polypeptides of the present invention include, for
example, polypeptides having an Fc region with improved stability
as compared to a parent polypeptide. Preferred embodiments of the
polypeptides having an Fc region with improved stability as
compared to a parent polypeptide include, for example, polypeptides
in which at least one amino acid has been modified in a loop region
of the Fc region.
[0044] The present invention provides antibody Fc regions
containing an Fc region in which at least one or more amino acids
have been modified in a loop region of the Fc region of an antibody
(for example, human IgG (IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4)) at amino acid
positions selected from the group consisting of position 234 (EU
numbering), position 235 (EU numbering), position 236 (EU
numbering), position 237 (EU numbering), position 238 (EU
numbering), position 239 (EU numbering), position 247 (EU
numbering), position 250 (EU numbering), position 265 (EU
numbering), position 266 (EU numbering), position 267 (EU
numbering), position 268 (EU numbering), position 269 (EU
numbering), position 270 (EU numbering), position 271 (EU
numbering), position 295 (EU numbering), position 296 (EU
numbering), position 298 (EU numbering), position 300 (EU
numbering), position 307 (EU numbering), position 309 (EU
numbering), position 315 (EU numbering), position 324 (EU
numbering), position 325 (EU numbering), position 326 (EU
numbering), position 327 (EU numbering), position 329 (EU
numbering), position 330 (EU numbering), position 333 (EU
numbering), position 335 (EU numbering), position 337 (EU
numbering), position 360 (EU numbering), position 385 (EU
numbering), position 386 (EU numbering), position 387 (EU
numbering), position 389 (EU numbering), position 428 (EU
numbering), and position 433 (EU numbering) of the IgG. For
example, a polypeptide with improved stability as compared to a
parent polypeptide can be provided by introducing the
above-mentioned modifications to human IgG.
[0045] The present invention also provides antibody Fc regions
containing an Fc region in which at least one or more amino acid
mutations have been introduced into a loop region of the Fc region
of an antibody (for example, human IgG (IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and
IgG4)) at amino acid positions selected from the group consisting
of position 234 (EU numbering), position 235 (EU numbering),
position 239 (EU numbering), position 266 (EU numbering), position
267 (EU numbering), position 268 (EU numbering), position 269 (EU
numbering), position 270 (EU numbering), position 295 (EU
numbering), position 296 (EU numbering), position 298 (EU
numbering), position 300 (EU numbering), position 324 (EU
numbering), position 325 (EU numbering), position 326 (EU
numbering), and position 330 (EU numbering) of the IgG.
[0046] Herein, "stability" means, for example, thermodynamic
stability of a polypeptide, but is not limited thereto.
Thermodynamic stability of a polypeptide can be assessed or
determined, for example, by using the melting temperature (Tm) of a
CH2 domain as an index. Thus, polypeptides of the present invention
are preferably assessed or judged using melting temperature (Tm) as
an index. Tm can be measured by CD (circular dichroism), DSC
(differential scanning calorimetry), and DSF (differential scanning
fluorimetry).
[0047] The above-mentioned methods used for evaluating thermal
stability can evaluate the thermal stability of the CH2, CH3, and
Fab domains individually, when a sample in the form of IgG is
measured. When CH2 and CH3 of the Fc region are compared, CH2 has
lower thermal stability; therefore, improving the thermal stability
of CH2 may lead to improvement of thermal stability of the Fc
region.
[0048] Furthermore, an IgG keeps a highly-controlled conformation,
and the conformation and physical stability of the respective
domains affect each other. That is, a modification introduced into
a certain domain may have an effect on a different domain,
resulting in changes in the conformation and physical stability of
the entire IgG. Therefore, when evaluating effects of introduced
modifications, a sample is desirably evaluated in the form of IgG.
For the above-mentioned reasons, evaluation of thermal stability of
the CH2 domain in the present specification has been carried out
using modified antibodies produced in the form of IgG.
[0049] When CD is used, Tm is determined by observing the mean
residue molar ellipticity (.theta.) changing with rising
temperature. Devices for measuring CD include, for example, a
circular dichroism dispersion meter (JASCO Corporation). When CD
spectra are monitored at a suitable wavelength (for example, 208 nm
or 222 nm) while increasing the temperature, .theta. increases at a
certain temperature, and becomes constant at temperatures
thereafter. The temperature corresponding to the midpoint between
the .theta. at low temperatures and the .theta. at high
temperatures is determined as Tm. For the measurement, for example,
protein solutions prepared using citric acid, Tris, phosphate
solution, and such may be used, and such solutions can be used at a
concentration of several hundred .mu.g/mL.
[0050] When DSC is used, Tm is determined by observing the amount
of heat changing with rising temperature. Measurement devices for
DSC include MicroCal VP-DSC and Micro Cal Capillary DSC (both from
GE Healthcare). When a protein solution and a buffer are enclosed
in measurement cells, and temperature differences between the cells
are measured while raising the temperature, the reaction becomes
endothermic at a certain temperature. This temperature is
determined as Tm. For the measurement, for example, protein
solutions prepared using citrate buffer, TBS, PBS, histidine
buffer, and such may be used, and such solutions can be used at a
concentration of several ten .mu.g/mL to several hundred
.mu.g/mL.
[0051] When DSF is used, Tm is determined by observing exposure of
hydrophobic residues due to rising temperature, using a fluorescent
reagent (for example, SYPRO Orange) that specifically binds to
hydrophobic residues. A protein solution and a fluorescence reagent
are mixed at an appropriate ratio. When fluorescence intensity is
measured while raising the temperature using an RT-PCR instrument,
an increase in the fluorescence intensity is observed at a certain
temperature. This temperature is determined as Tm. Measurement
devices for DSF include Rotor-Gene Q (QIAGEN), and CFX96 real-time
PCR analysis system (Bio-Rad). For the measurements, for example,
protein solutions prepared using PBS, histidine buffer, and such
may be used, and such solutions can be used at a concentration of
several ten .mu.g/mL to several hundred .mu.g/mL.
[0052] Herein, "the stability of a polypeptide is improved" means
that, for example, as compared to the Tm of the CH2 domain in the
Fc region of a parent polypeptide used as a control determined
according to the above-mentioned methods, the Tm of the CH2 domain
in the Fc region of a test polypeptide is improved by 0.1 degrees
or more, preferably 0.2 degrees or more, 0.3 degrees or more, 0.4
degrees or more, 0.5 degrees or more, 1 degree or more, 2 degrees
or more, 3 degrees or more, 4 degrees or more, 5 degrees or more,
10 degrees or more, or 20 degrees or more.
[0053] Furthermore, the polypeptides of the present invention may
also be polypeptides having an Fc region with not only improved
stability as compared to that of a parent polypeptide but also
maintained or enhanced binding activity to an Fc.gamma. receptor
(which may also be herein referred to as Fc.gamma.R) as compared to
that of the parent polypeptide. In the present invention, examples

stability compared to that of a parent polypeptide but also
maintained or enhanced Fc.gamma.R-binding activity as compared to
that of the parent polypeptide include polypeptides having the

[0096] For example, when the polypeptide is an antibody, it may
preferably be used as a neutralizing antibody.
[0097] "Fc.gamma. receptors" refers to receptors that may bind to
the Fc region of IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4 monoclonal antibodies,
and practically means any member of the family of proteins encoded
by the Fc.gamma. receptor genes. In humans, this family includes
Fc.gamma.RI (CD64) including isoforms Fc.gamma.RIa, Fc.gamma.RIb,
and Fc.gamma.RIc; Fc.gamma.RI (CD32) including isoforms

respectively (the RefSeq Registration number is indicated inside

[0100] In Fc.gamma.RIIa, there are two allotypes: one where the
amino acid at position 131 of Fc.gamma.RIIa is histidine (type H)
and the other where this amino acid is substituted with arginine
(type R) (J. Exp. Med, 172: 19-25, 1990).
[0101] In the present invention, whether or not the binding
activity of a polypeptide or an Fc region of the present invention
towards each type of Fc.gamma.R is decreased, or maintained or
enhanced can be determined, for example, as shown in the present
Examples. Specifically, it can be determined by using BIACORE,
which is a device for interaction analysis based on the surface
plasmon resonance (SPR) phenomenon, and observing whether there is
a decrease or an increase in the dissociation constant (KD) value
obtained by allowing each type of Fc.gamma.R to flow as an analyte
over a sensor chip onto which a polypeptide (antibody) has been
immobilized or captured with Protein A, antigen peptide or such, or
whether there is an increase or a decrease in the amount of change
in the sensorgram value before and after allowing each type of
Fc.gamma.R to flow as an analyte over a sensor chip onto which a
polypeptide (antibody) has been immobilized or captured with
Protein A, antigen peptide or such.
[0102] Specifically, the binding activity of an Fc region towards
an Fc.gamma. receptor can be measured by the Amplified Luminescent
Proximity Homogeneous Assay (ALPHA) Screen, the BIACORE method
which utilizes the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) phenomena, or
such, in addition to ELISA or fluorescence activated cell sorting
(FACS) (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA (2006) 103 (11): 4005-4010).
[0103] ALPHA Screen is performed by ALPHA technology which uses two
beads, a donor and an acceptor, based on the following principles.
Luminescent signals are detected only when molecules bound to donor
beads physically interact with molecules bound to the acceptor
beads, and the two beads are in close proximity to each other.
Laser-excited photosensitizer in the donor beads converts ambient
oxygen to excited-state singlet oxygen. Singlet oxygen is dispersed
around the donor beads, and when it reaches the adjacent acceptor
beads, chemiluminescent reaction is induced in the beads, and light
is ultimately emitted. When the molecules bound to the donor beads
do not interact with the molecules bound to the acceptor beads, the
chemiluminescent reaction does not take place because singlet
oxygen produced by the donor beads does not reach the acceptor
beads.
[0104] For example, a biotinylated polypeptide complex is bound to
the donor beads, and Fc.gamma. receptor tagged with glutathione S
transferase (GST) is linked to the acceptor beads. In the absence
of a competing polypeptide complex having a mutant Fc region, the
polypeptide complex having a wild-type Fc region interacts with the
Fey receptor and produces 520-620 nm signals. The polypeptide
complex having an untagged mutant Fc region competes with the
polypeptide complex having a wild-type Fc region for interaction
with the Fey receptor. Relative binding affinity can be determined
by quantifying the decrease in fluorescence observed as a result of
the competition.
[0105] Biotinylation of polypeptide complexes such as antibodies
using Sulfo-NHS-biotin and such is well known. The method of
expressing the Fey receptor and GST in a cell carrying a fusion
gene produced by fusing a polynucleotide encoding the Fey receptor
in frame with a polynucleotide encoding GST in an expressible
vector, and performing purification using a glutathione column is
appropriately adopted as a method for tagging an Fey receptor with
GST. The obtained signals are preferably analyzed, for example, by
fitting them to a one-site competition model which uses a
non-linear regression analysis using software such as GRAPHPAD
PRISM (GraphPad, San Diego).
[0106] One of the substances (the ligand) in observation of an
interaction is immobilized onto a gold thin film on a sensor chip,
and by shining light from the reverse side of the sensor chip so
that total reflection takes place at the interface between the gold
thin film and glass, a portion of reduced reflection intensity is
formed in part of the reflected light (SPR signal). When the other
one of the substances (the analyte) in observation of an
interaction is made to flow on the sensor chip surface and the
ligand binds to the analyte, the mass of the immobilized ligand
molecule increases and the refractive index of the solvent on the
sensor chip surface changes. The position of the SPR signal shifts
as a result of this change in refractive index (on the other hand,
the signal position returns when this binding dissociates). The
Biacore system indicates the amount of shift mentioned above, or
more specifically the time variable of mass by plotting the change
in mass on the sensor chip surface on the ordinate as the
measurement data (sensorgram). The amount of analyte bound to the
ligand trapped on the sensor chip surface is determined from the
sensorgram. Kinetic parameters such as association rate constants
(ka) and dissociation rate constants (kd) are determined from the
curves of the sensorgram, and the dissociation constants (KD) are
determined from the ratio of these constants. In the BIACORE
method, a method for measuring inhibition is preferably used. An
example of the method for measuring inhibition is described in
Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci USA (2006) 103 (11): 4005-4010.
[0107] In the present invention, a polypeptide with decreased
Fc.gamma.R-binding activity (a polypeptide whose binding activity
to Fc.gamma.R is decreased) refers to a polypeptide having at least
one amino acid modification in the Fc region of a parent
polypeptide (also called a polypeptide variant) which, when assayed
in substantially the same amount as the parent polypeptide, binds
to at least one type of Fc.gamma.R with a substantially lower
binding affinity than the parent polypeptide.
[0108] For example, when the amount of the parent polypeptide bound
to each Fc.gamma.R, as measured by the aforementioned method, is
taken as 100, the amount of the polypeptide variant bound to each
Fc.gamma.R (hereinafter referred to as "binding amount ratio") is
preferably decreased to 80 or less, preferably 50 or less, 40 or
less, 30 or less, 20 or less, or particularly preferably 10 or
less, 5 or less, 4 or less, 3 or less, 2 or less, 1 or less, or 0.1
or less.
[0109] In the present invention, a polypeptide with enhanced
Fc.gamma.R-binding activity (a polypeptide whose binding activity
to Fc.gamma.R is enhanced) refers to a polypeptide variant which,
when assayed in substantially the same amount as the parent
polypeptide, binds to at least one type of Fc.gamma.R with a
substantially higher binding affinity than the parent
polypeptide.
[0110] For example, when the amount of the parent polypeptide bound
to each Fc.gamma.R, as measured by the aforementioned method, is
taken as 100, the amount of the polypeptide variant bound to each
Fc.gamma.R (hereinafter referred to as "binding amount ratio") is
preferably increased to 120 or more, 150 or more, 200 or more, or
300 or more.
[0111] A polypeptide with unchanged (maintained) Fc.gamma.R-binding
activity (a polypeptide whose binding activity to Fc.gamma.R is
unchanged (maintained)) refers to a polypeptide having at least one
amino acid modification in the Fc region of a parent polypeptide
(also called a polypeptide variant) which, when assayed in
substantially the same amount as the parent polypeptide, binds to
Fc.gamma.R with a binding affinity substantially unchanged from or
equivalent to that of the parent polypeptide.
[0112] For example, when the amount of the parent polypeptide bound
to each Fc.gamma.R, as measured by the aforementioned method, is
taken as 100, the amount of the polypeptide variant bound to each
Fc.gamma.R (hereinafter referred to as "binding amount ratio") is
preferably 80 or more and 120 or less.
[0113] In the present invention, polypeptides (for example, human
IgG) containing the above-mentioned modifications of the present
invention may be further modified in other parts of the Fc
region.
[0114] For example, such modifications to other parts of the Fc
region include substituting Pro at position 238 (EU numbering) with
Asp and/or substituting Leu at position 328 (EU numbering) with Glu
in human IgG (IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4). Polypeptides with
maintained or decreased binding activities towards Fc.gamma.RI,
Fc.gamma.RIIIa, and both R and H allotypes of Fc.gamma.RIIa, as
well as enhanced Fc.gamma.RIIb-binding activity in comparison with
a parent polypeptide can be provided by introducing alteration of
substituting Pro at position 238 (EU numbering) with Asp or
substituting Leu at position 328 (EU numbering) with Glu in human
IgG.
[0115] Further alterations of the Fc region can be added to human
IgG containing alterations by which Pro at position 238 (EU
numbering) has been substituted with Asp and/or Leu at position 328
(EU numbering) has been substituted with Glu. Here, alteration
refers to any one of, or a combination of amino acid substitutions,
deletions, additions, and insertions. Additional alterations can be
further included in addition to these alterations. An additional
alteration can be selected from any one of, or combinations of
amino acid substitutions, deletions, or modifications. For example,
alterations that further decrease binding activity towards
Fc.gamma.RI, Fc.gamma.RIIa (type H), Fc.gamma.RIIa (type R), or
Fc.gamma.RIIIa can be added.
[0116] Preferred alterations among them are those that only reduce
the binding activity towards Fc.gamma.RI, Fc.gamma.RIIa (type H),
Fc.gamma.RIIa (type R), or Fc.gamma.RIIIa without reducing the
binding activity toward Fc.gamma.RIIb. Preferred examples of such
alterations include the following amino acid substitutions:

[0117] Furthermore, preferred alterations among these alterations
are those that reduce the binding activity towards Fc.gamma.RIIa
(type R) without reducing the binding activity towards
Fc.gamma.RIIb. Preferred examples of such alterations include the
following amino acid substitutions:

[0118] Furthermore, it is also possible to add alterations
enhancing the binding activity towards Fc.gamma.RIIb by adding
other alterations of the Fc region to human IgG containing
substitution of Pro at position 238 (EU numbering) with Asp and/or
substitution of Leu at position 328 (EU numbering) with Glu.
Preferred alterations among such alterations are those that enhance
only the binding activity towards Fc.gamma.RIIb without enhancing
the binding activity towards Fc.gamma.RI, Fc.gamma.RIIa (type H),
Fc.gamma.RIIa (type R), or Fc.gamma.RIIIa. Preferred examples of
such alterations include the following amino acid
substitutions:

substitution of Ser at position 239 (EU numbering) with Asp, and
substitution of Ser at position 267 (EU numbering) with Ala.
[0119] Furthermore, preferred alterations among these alterations
are those that reduce the binding activity towards Fc.gamma.RIIa
(type R) without reducing the binding activity towards
Fc.gamma.RIIb. Preferred examples of such alterations include the
following amino acid substitutions:
substitution of Gly at position 237 (EU numbering) with Trp,
substitution of Leu at position 328 (EU numbering) with Asp,
substitution of Gly at position 236 (EU numbering) with Asp,
substitution of Ala at position 327 (EU numbering) with Asn,
substitution of Ala at position 327 (EU numbering) with Gly,
substitution of Ser at position 239 (EU numbering) with Leu,
substitution of Pro at position 331 (EU numbering) with Trp,
substitution of Pro at position 331 (EU numbering) with Tyr,
substitution of Pro at position 331 (EU numbering) with Phe,
substitution of Pro at position 271 (EU numbering) with Leu,
substitution of Leu at position 328 (EU numbering) with Gln,
substitution of Tyr at position 300 (EU numbering) with Asp, and
substitution of Ser at position 239 (EU numbering) with Asn.
[0120] Furthermore, for example, amino acid substitutions that
improve FcRn-binding activity (J. Immunol. 2006 January 1; 176(1):
346-56; J Biol Chem. 2006 August 18; 281(33): 23514-24; Int.
Immunol. 2006 December; 18(12): 1759-69; Nat Biotechnol. 2010
February; 28(2): 157-9.; WO 2006/019447; WO 2006/053301; and WO
2009/086320), and amino acid substitutions for improving antibody
heterogeneity or stability (WO 2009/041613) may be introduced into
the Fc region of an antibody.
[0121] In addition to the amino acid modifications of the present
invention, the following modifications can be added as
necessary.
[0122] In order to regulate the plasma retention property of
antibodies, it is possible to combine the amino acid modifications
of the present invention with amino acid modifications for altering
the antibody isoelectric point value (pI value). Modifications of
the constant regions include, for example, amino acid modifications
at positions 250 and 428 (EU numbering) and such described in known
publications (for example, J. Immunol. 2006, 176 (1):346-356; and
Nat. Biotechnol. 1997 15 (7):637-640). Modifications of the
variable regions include the amino acid modifications described in
WO2007/114319 and WO2009/041643. Amino acids to be modified are
preferably exposed on the surface of a polypeptide having an
antigen-binding activity. When a polypeptide of the present
invention has a heavy chain constant region, the modifications
include, for example, amino acid substitution at position 196 (EU
numbering) in the amino acid sequence of the heavy chain constant
region. When the heavy chain constant region is that of IgG4, the
plasma retention can be enhanced, for example, by substituting
lysine at position 196 with glutamine and thereby reducing the pI
value. Furthermore, the plasma retention can be regulated by
altering the FcRn-binding ability. Amino acid modifications that
alter the FcRn-binding ability include, for example, the amino acid
substitutions in the antibody heavy chain constant region described
in known publications (The Journal of Biological Chemistry vo1.276,
No. 9 6591-6604, 2001; and Molecular Cell, Vol. 7, 867-877,
2001).
Modifications for Improving the Stability Under Acidic
Conditions
[0123] When a polypeptide of the present invention has a heavy
chain constant region of IgG4, the stable four-chain structure
(H2L2 structure) is preferably maintained by suppressing the
dissociation of IgG4 into half-molecules under acidic conditions.
Thus, arginine at amino acid position 409 (EU numbering), which
plays an important role in the maintenance of the four-chain
structure (Immunology 2002, 105, 9-19), is preferably substituted
with lysine, the residue of the IgG1 type, which maintains the
stable four-chain structure even under acidic conditions. Such
modifications can be used in combination with the amino acid
modifications of the present invention.
Modifications for Reducing Heterogeneity
[0124] The amino acid modifications of the present invention may be
combined with the methods described in WO2009/041613. Specifically,
for example, when a polypeptide of the present invention has a
heavy chain constant region of IgG1, it is possible to combine the
modification for deleting the C-terminal two amino acids of the
IgG1 heavy chain constant region, that is, glycine and lysine at
positions 446 and 447 (EU numbering), with the amino acid
modifications described in the present Examples so that the
heterogeneity can be reduced.
Modifications for Suppressing Deamidation Reaction
[0125] The amino acid modifications of the present invention may be
combined with amino acid modifications for suppressing deamidation
reaction. It has been reported that deamidation reaction tends to
occur particularly at a site where asparagine (N) and glycine (G)
are adjacent to each other (--NG--) (Geiger et al., J. Bio. Chem.
1987; 262:785-794). When a polypeptide of the present invention has
a site where asparagine and glycine are adjacent to each other,
deamidation reaction can be suppressed by modifying this amino acid
sequence. Specifically, for example, either or both of asparagine
and glycine are substituted with other amino acids. More
specifically, for example, asparagine is substituted with aspartic
acid.
[0126] Preferred examples of polypeptides of the present invention
include IgG antibodies. When an IgG antibody is used as the
antibody, the type of constant region is not limited, and an IgG
isotypes (subclasses) such as IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4 can be
used. IgG antibodies of the present invention are preferably human
IgG, and more preferably human IgG1 or human IgG4. The amino acid
sequences of the heavy-chain Fc regions of human IgG1 and human
IgG4 are known. A plurality of allotype sequences due to genetic
polymorphisms have been described in Sequences of Proteins of
Immunological Interest, NIH Publication No. 91-3242 for the human
IgG1 Fc region, and any of the sequences may be used in the present
invention.
<Substitution>
[0127] For example, for the purpose of modifying (a)-(c) listed
below, amino acid residues can be substituted with other amino acid
residues:
(a) polypeptide backbone structure in the sheet-structure or
helical-structure region; (b) electric charge or hydrophobicity at
the target site; or (c) size of the side chain.
[0128] Amino acid residues are classified into the following groups
based on their general side chain properties:
(1) hydrophobic: norleucine, met, ala, val, leu, and ile; (2)
neutral hydrophilic: cys, ser, thr, asn, and gln; (3) acidic: asp
and glu; (4) basic: his, lys, and arg; (5) residues that affect the
chain orientation: gly and pro; and (6) aromatic: trp, tyr, and
phe.
[0129] Substitution between amino acid residues within each of
these amino acid groups is referred to as conservative
substitution, and amino acid residue substitution between different
groups is referred to as non-conservative substitution.
Substitutions in the present invention may be conservative
substitutions or non-conservative substitutions, or a combination
of conservative substitutions and non-conservative
substitutions.
[0130] Amino acid sequence alterations are produced by various
methods known to those skilled in the art. Such methods include the
site-directed mutagenesis method (Hashimoto-Gotoh, T, Mizuno, T,
Ogasahara, Y, and Nakagawa, M. (1995) An
oligodeoxyribonucleotide-directed dual amber method for
site-directed mutagenesis. Gene 152: 271-275; Zoller, M J, and
Smith, M. (1983) Oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis of DNA
fragments cloned into M13 vectors. Methods Enzymol. 100: 468-500;
Kramer, W, Drutsa, V, Jansen, H W, Kramer, B, Pflugfelder, M, and
Fritz, H J (1984) The gapped duplex DNA approach to
oligonucleotide-directed mutation construction. Nucleic Acids Res.

duplex DNA Methods. Enzymol. 154, 350-367; and Kunkel, T A (1985)
Rapid and efficient site-specific mutagenesis without phenotypic
selection. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 82: 488-492), the PCR mutation
method, and the cassette mutation method, but are not limited
thereto.
[0131] Amino acid modification of the present invention includes
post-translational modification. A specific post-translational
modification may be addition or deletion of a sugar chain. For
example, in the IgG1 Fc region consisting of the amino acid
sequence of SEQ ID NO: 11, the amino acid residue at position 297
(EU numbering) may be sugar chain-modified. The sugar-chain
structure for the modification is not limited. Generally,
antibodies expressed in eukaryotic cells comprise glycosylation in
the Fc region. Therefore, antibodies expressed in cells such as
those below are normally modified by some type of sugar chain:
[0132] antibody-producing cells of mammals
[0133] eukaryotic cells transformed with an expression vector
comprising a DNA encoding an antibody
[0134] Eukaryotic cells shown here include yeast and animal cells.
For example, CHO cells and HEK293H cells are representative animal
cells used in transformation with an expression vector comprising
an antibody-encoding DNA. On the other hand, the Fc regions of the
present invention include those without glycosylation at this site.
Antibodies whose Fc region is not glycosylated can be obtained by
expressing an antibody-encoding gene in prokaryotic cells such as
Escherichia coli.
[0135] Specifically, for example, sialic acid may be added to the
sugar chain of an Fc region (MAbs. 2010 September-October; 2(5):
519-27).
<Antibody>
[0136] Furthermore, the present invention provides antibodies with
an Fc region in which any of the above-mentioned amino acid
sequences is altered.
[0137] The term "antibody/antibodies" in the present invention is
used in the broadest sense, and as long as the desired biological
activity is shown, it encompasses any antibodies such as monoclonal
antibodies (including full-length monoclonal antibodies),
polyclonal antibodies, antibody variants, antibody fragments,
multispecific antibodies (for example, bispecific antibodies (which
may be referred to as diabodies)), chimeric antibodies, and
humanized antibodies.
[0138] The antibodies of the present invention are not limited in
terms of the antigen type and origin, and may be any types of
antibodies. The origin of the antibodies is not particularly
limited, but examples include human antibodies, mouse antibodies,
rat antibodies, and rabbit antibodies.
[0139] Methods for producing the antibodies are well known to those
skilled in the art, and for example, monoclonal antibodies may be
produced by the hybridoma method (Kohler and Milstein, Nature 256:
495 (1975)), or the recombination method (U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567).
Alternatively, they may be isolated from a phage antibody library
(Clackson et al., Nature 352: 624-628 (1991); Marks et al.,
J.Mol.Biol. 222: 581-597 (1991)). In the present invention,
monoclonal antibodies include humanized antibodies and chimeric
antibodies.
[0140] In addition to the above methods, B cell cloning (use for
identification and cloning of the coding sequence of each antibody,
isolation thereof, and construction of expression vectors for
producing each antibody (particularly IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4)
etc.) as described in Bernasconi et al. (Science (2002) 298,
2199-2202) or WO2008/081008 is appropriately used as a method for
obtaining antibody genes.
[0141] Moreover, the antibodies of the present invention may have
an altered sugar chain. Examples of antibodies whose sugar chain
has been altered include, for example, antibodies with modified
glycosylation (WO99/54342 and such), antibodies deficient in fucose
attached to a sugar chain (WO00/61739, WO02/31140, WO2006/067847,
WO2006/067913, and such), and antibodies having a sugar chain with
bisecting GlcNAc (WO02/79255 and such).
[0142] A humanized antibody is also called a reshaped human
antibody. Specifically, humanized antibodies prepared by grafting
the CDRs of a non-human animal antibody such as a mouse antibody to
a human antibody and such are known. Common genetic engineering
techniques for obtaining humanized antibodies are also known.
Specifically, for example, overlap extension PCR is known as a
method for grafting mouse antibody CDRs to human FRs. Furthermore,
it is also possible to design an amino acid sequence in which mouse
CDRs have been grafted on human FRs, and then synthesize a gene of
this amino acid sequence. Gene synthesis services are provided by,
for example, Life Technologies, GenScript, and other companies.
[0143] A vector for expressing a humanized antibody can be produced
by inserting a DNA encoding an antibody variable region in which
three CDRs and four FRs are ligated and a DNA encoding a human
antibody Fc region into an expression vector so that these DNAs are
fused in frame. After this integration vector is transfected into a
host to establish recombinant cells, these cells are cultured, and
the DNA encoding the humanized antibody is expressed to produce the
humanized antibody in the culture of the cells (see, European
Patent Publication No. EP 239,400, and International Patent
Publication No. WO 1996/002576).
[0144] As necessary, an amino acid residue in an FR may be
substituted so that the CDRs of a reshaped human antibody form an
appropriate antigen-binding site. For example, a mutation can be
introduced into the amino acid sequence of an FR by applying the
PCR method used for grafting mouse CDRs to human FRs.
[0145] A desired human antibody can be obtained by DNA immunization
using a transgenic animal having the complete repertoire of human
antibody genes (see International Publication Nos. WO 1993/012227,
WO 1992/003918, WO 1994/002602, WO 1994/025585, WO 1996/034096, and
WO 1996/033735) as an animal for immunization.
[0146] Furthermore, technologies for obtaining a human antibody by
panning using a human antibody library are known. For example, a
human antibody V region is expressed on the surface of a phage as a
single-chain antibody (scFv) by the phage display method. The
scFv-expressing phage that binds to the antigen can be selected.
The DNA sequence that encodes the V region of the antigen-bound
human antibody can be determined by analyzing the genes of the
selected phage. After determining the DNA sequence of the scFv that
binds to the antigen, an expression vector can be prepared by
fusing the V-region sequence in-frame with the sequence of a
desired human antibody C region, and then inserting this into a
suitable expression vector. The expression vector is introduced
into suitable expression cells such as those described above, and
the human antibody can be obtained by expressing the human
antibody-encoding gene. These methods are already known (see,
International Publication Nos. WO 1992/001047, WO 1992/020791, WO
1993/006213, WO 1993/011236, WO 1993/019172, WO 1995/001438, and WO
1995/15388).

[0151] Examples of specific receptors belonging to the
above-mentioned receptor families preferably include human or mouse

[0152] Cancer antigens are antigens that are expressed as cells
become malignant, and they are also called tumor-specific antigens.
Abnormal sugar chains that appear on cell surfaces or protein
molecules when cells become cancerous are also cancer antigens, and
they are also called sugar-chain cancer antigens. Examples of
cancer antigens preferably include GPC3 which is a receptor
belonging to the GPI anchor-type receptor family mentioned above,
and is also expressed in several cancers including liver cancer
(Int J Cancer. (2003) 103 (4): 455-65), as well as EpCAM which is
expressed in several cancers including lung cancer (Proc Natl Acad
Sci USA. (1989) 86 (1): 27-31), CA19-9, CA15-3, and sialyl SSEA-1
(SLX).
[0153] MHC antigens are roughly classified into MHC class I
antigens and MHC class II antigens. MHC class I antigens include
HLA-A, -B, -C, -E, -F, -G, and -H, and MHC class II antigens
include HLA-DR, -DQ, and -DP.
[0154] Differentiation antigens may include CD1, CD2, CD4, CD5,
CD6, CD7, CD8, CD10, CD11a, CD11b, CD11c, CD13, CD14, CD15s, CD16,

CD69, CD71, CD73, CD95, CD102, CD106, CD122, CD126, and CDw130.
[0155] Immunoglobulins include IgA, IgM, IgD, IgG, and IgE.
Immunocomplexes at least contain any component of an
immunoglobulin.
[0156] Variable regions that constitute the antibodies of the
present invention may be variable regions that recognize any
antigen. One or more amino acid residue alterations are allowed in
the amino acid sequences constituting the antibody variable regions
as long as their antigen-binding activities are maintained. When
altering a variable region amino acid sequence, there is no
particularly limitation on the site of alteration and number of
amino acids altered. For example, amino acids present in CDR and/or
FR can be altered appropriately. When altering amino acids in a
variable region, the binding activity is preferably maintained
without particular limitation; and for example, as compared to
before alteration, the binding activity is 50% or more, preferably
80% or more, and more preferably 100% or more. Furthermore, the
binding activity may be increased by amino acid alterations. For
example, the binding activity may be 2-, 5-, 10-times higher or
such than that before alteration.
[0157] When the antigen is a soluble antigen, KD (dissociation
constant) can be used as a value representing the antigen-binding
activity of an antibody of the present invention. When the antigen
is a membrane antigen, apparent KD (apparent dissociation constant)
can be used. KD (dissociation constant) and apparent KD (apparent
dissociation constant) can be determined by methods known to those
skilled in the art, such as Biacore (GE Healthcare), Scatchard
plot, and flow cytometer.
[0158] As another index for comparing the antigen-binding activity
of the antibodies of the present invention, for example, k.sub.d
(dissociation rate constant) can be used when the antigen is a
soluble antigen, whilst apparent k.sub.d (apparent dissociation
rate constant) can be used when the antigen is a membrane antigen.
k.sub.d (dissociation rate constant) and apparent k.sub.d (apparent
dissociation rate constant) can be determined by methods known to
those skilled in the art, such as Biacore (GE Healthcare) and flow
cytometer.
[0159] In the antibodies of the present invention, alteration of
amino acid sequence may be at least one of amino acid residue
substitution, addition, deletion, and modification. There is no
particular limitation on positions to be altered and the number of
amino acids to be altered. Generally, 50 amino acids or less,
preferably 30 amino acids or less, more preferably 10 amino acids
or less (for example, 5 amino acids or less, or 3 amino acids or
less) may be altered. Alternatively, for example, alteration of 20%
or less amino acid residues, or specifically 10% or less amino acid
residues (for example, 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, or 1%
or less) in the whole amino acid sequence is acceptable. In other
words, antibodies containing an amino acid sequence sharing a
homology (identity) of preferably 80% or higher, more preferably
90% or higher (for example, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%,
98%, or 99% or higher) with the original amino acid sequence are
also included in the antibodies of the present invention.
[0160] For example, the modification of the N-terminal glutamine of
a variable region into pyroglutamic acid by pyroglutamylation is a
modification well known to those skilled in the art. Thus, when the
heavy-chain N terminus is glutamine, the antibodies of the present
invention also include the variable regions in which the glutamine
is modified to pyroglutamic acid.
[0161] Antibody variable regions of the present invention may have
any sequences, and they may be antibody variable regions of any
origin, such as mouse antibodies, rat antibodies, rabbit
antibodies, goat antibodies, camel antibodies, humanized antibodies
produced by humanizing these non-human antibodies, and human
antibodies. "Humanized antibodies", also referred to as "reshaped
human antibodies", are antibodies in which the complementarity
determining regions (CDRs) of an antibody derived from a non-human
mammal, for example, a mouse antibody, are transplanted into the
CDRs of a human antibody. Methods for identifying CDRs are known
(Kabat et al., Sequence of Proteins of Immunological Interest
(1987), National Institute of Health, Bethesda, Md.; Chothia et
al., Nature (1989) 342: 877). Their common genetic recombination
techniques are also known (see, European Patent Application
Publication No. EP 125023 and WO 96/02576). Furthermore, these
antibodies may have various amino acid substitutions introduced
into their variable regions to improve their antigen binding,
pharmacokinetics, stability, and antigenicity. Variable regions of
the antibodies of the present invention may be able to bind
antigens repeatedly due to their pH dependability in antigen
binding (WO 2009/125825).
[0162] There are .kappa. chain and .lamda. chain types in antibody
light-chain constant regions, but any light chain constant regions
may be used. Furthermore, light-chain constant regions of the
present invention may be light-chain constant regions with amino
acid alterations such as substitutions, deletions, additions,
and/or insertions.
[0163] For the heavy chain Fc regions of an antibody of the present
invention, for example, heavy chain Fc regions of human IgG
antibodies may be used. Preferred heavy chain Fc regions are those
of human IgG1 antibodies and human IgG4 antibodies.
[0164] Furthermore, polypeptides of the present invention may be
made into Fc fusion protein molecules by linking to other proteins,
physiologically active peptides, and such.
[0165] Examples of the other proteins and biologically active
peptides include receptors, adhesion molecules, ligands, and
enzymes, but are not limited thereto.
[0166] Preferred examples of Fc fusion protein molecules of the
present invention include proteins with Fc region fused to a
receptor protein that binds to a target, and such examples include
TNFR-Fc fusion protein, IL1R-Fc fusion protein, VEGFR-Fc fusion
protein, and CTLA4-Fc fusion protein (Nat Med. 2003 January; 9(1):
47-52; BioDrugs. 2006; 20(3): 151-60). Furthermore, a protein to be
fused to a polypeptide of the present invention may be any molecule
as long as it binds to a target molecule, and examples include scFv
molecules (WO 2005/037989), single-domain antibody molecules (WO
2004/058821; WO 2003/002609), antibody-like molecules (Current
Opinion in Biotechnology 2006, 17: 653-658; Current Opinion in
Biotechnology 2007, 18: 1-10; Current Opinion in Structural Biology
1997, 7: 463-469; and Protein Science 2006, 15: 14-27) such as
DARPins (WO 2002/020565), Affibody (WO 1995/001937), Avimer (WO
2004/044011; WO 2005/040229), and Adnectin (WO 2002/032925).
Furthermore, antibodies and Fc fusion protein molecules may be
multispecific antibodies that bind to multiple types of target
molecules or epitopes.
[0167] Furthermore, the antibodies of the present invention include
antibody modification products. Such antibody modification products
include, for example, antibodies linked with various molecules such
as polyethylene glycol (PEG) and cytotoxic substances. Such
antibody modification products can be obtained by chemically
modifying antibodies of the present invention. Methods for
modifying antibodies are already established in this field.
[0168] The antibodies of the present invention may also be
bispecific antibodies. "Bispecific antibody" refers to an antibody
that has in a single molecule variable regions that recognize
different epitopes. The epitopes may be present in a single
molecule or in different molecules.
[0169] The polypeptides of the present invention can be prepared by
the methods known to those skilled in the art. For example, the
antibodies can be prepared by the methods described below, but the
methods are not limited thereto
[0170] A DNA encoding an antibody heavy chain in which one or more
amino acid residues in the Fc region have been substituted with
other amino acids of interest and DNA encoding an antibody light
chain, are expressed. A DNA encoding a heavy chain in which one or
more amino acid residues in the Fc region are substituted with
other amino acids of interest can be prepared, for example, by
obtaining a DNA encoding the Fc region of a natural heavy chain,
and introducing an appropriate substitution so that a codon
encoding a particular amino acid in the Fc region encodes another
amino acid of interest.
[0171] Alternatively, a DNA encoding a heavy chain in which one or
more amino acid residues in the Fc region are substituted with
other amino acids of interest can also be prepared by designing and
then chemically synthesizing a DNA encoding a protein in which one
or more amino acid residues in the Fc region of the natural heavy
chain are substituted with other amino acids of interest. The
position and type of amino acid substitution are not particularly
limited. Furthermore, alteration is not limited to substitution,
and alteration may be any of deletion, addition, or insertion, or
combination thereof.
[0172] Alternatively, a DNA encoding a heavy chain in which one or
more amino acid residues in the Fc region are substituted with
other amino acids of interest can be prepared as a combination of
partial DNAs. Such combinations of partial DNAs include, for
example, the combination of a DNA encoding a variable region and a
DNA encoding an Fc region, and the combination of a DNA encoding an
Fab region and a DNA encoding an Fc region, but are not limited
thereto. Furthermore, a DNA encoding a light chain can similarly be
prepared as a combination of partial DNAs.
[0173] Methods for expressing the above-described DNAs include the
methods described below. For example, a heavy chain expression
vector is constructed by inserting a DNA encoding a heavy chain
variable region into an expression vector along with a DNA encoding
a heavy chain Fc region. Likewise, a light chain expression vector
is constructed by inserting a DNA encoding a light chain variable
region into an expression vector along with a DNA encoding a light
chain Fc region. Alternatively, these heavy and light chain genes
may be inserted into a single vector.
[0174] When inserting a DNA encoding the antibody of interest into
an expression vector, the DNA is inserted so that the antibody is
expressed under the control of an expression-regulating region such
as an enhancer or promoter. Next, host cells are transformed with
this expression vector to express the antibody. In such cases, an
appropriate combination of host and expression vector may be
used.
[0175] Examples of the vectors include M13 vectors, pUC vectors,
pBR322, pBluescript, and pCR-Script. Alternatively, when aiming to
subclone and excise cDNA, in addition to the vectors described
above, pGEM-T, pDIRECT, pT7, and such can be used.
[0176] Expression vectors are particularly useful when using
vectors for producing the polypeptides of the present invention.
For example, when a host cell is E. coli such as JM109, DH5a,
HB101, and XL1-Blue, the expression vectors must carry a promoter
that allows efficient expression in E. coli, for example, lacZ
promoter (Ward et al., Nature (1989) 341: 544-546; FASEB J. (1992)
6: 2422-2427; its entirety are incorporated herein by reference),
araB promoter (Better et al., Science (1988) 240: 1041-1043; its
entirety are incorporated herein by reference), T7 promoter, or
such. Such vectors include pGEX-5X-1 (Pharmacia), "QIAexpress
system" (Qiagen), pEGFP, or pET (in this case, the host is
preferably BL21 that expresses T7 RNA polymerase) in addition to
the vectors described above.
[0177] The vectors may contain signal sequences for polypeptide
secretion. As a signal sequence for polypeptide secretion, a pelB
signal sequence (Lei, S. P. et al J. Bacteriol. (1987) 169: 4379;
its entirety are incorporated herein by reference) may be used when
a polypeptide is secreted into the E. coli periplasm. The vector
can be introduced into host cells by lipofectin method, calcium
phosphate method, and DEAE-Dextran method, for example.
[0178] In addition to E. coli expression vectors, the vectors for
producing the polypeptides of the present invention include
mammalian expression vectors (for example, pcDNA3 (Invitrogen),
pEGF-BOS (Nucleic Acids. Res. 1990, 18(17): p5322; its entirety are
incorporated herein by reference), pEF, and pCDM8), insect
cell-derived expression vectors (for example, the "Bac-to-BAC
baculovirus expression system" (Gibco-BRL) and pBacPAK8),
plant-derived expression vectors (for example, pMH1 and pMH2),
animal virus-derived expression vectors (for example, pHSV, pMV,
and pAdexLcw), retroviral expression vectors (for example,
pZIPneo), yeast expression vectors (for example, "Pichia Expression
Kit" (Invitrogen), pNV11, and SP-Q01), and Bacillus subtilis
expression vectors (for example, pPL608 and pKTHSO), for example.
When aiming for expression in animal cells such as CHO, COS, and
NIH3T3 cells, the vectors must have a promoter essential for
expression in cells, for example, SV40 promoter (Mulligan et al.,
Nature (1979) 277: 108; its entirety are incorporated herein by
reference), MMTV-LTR promoter, EF1.alpha. promoter (Mizushima et
al., Nucleic Acids Res. (1990) 18: 5322; its entirety are
incorporated herein by reference), CAG promoter (Gene. (1990) 18:
5322; its entirety are incorporated herein by reference), and CMV
promoter, and more preferably they have a gene for selecting
transformed cells (for example, a drug resistance gene that allows
evaluation using an agent (neomycin, G418, or such)). Vectors with
such characteristics include pMAM, pDR2, pBK-RSV, pBK-CMV, pOPRSV,
and pOP13, for example.
[0179] In addition, the following method can be used for stable
gene expression and gene copy number amplification in cells: CHO
cells deficient in a nucleic acid synthesis pathway are introduced
with a vector that carries a DHFR gene which compensates for the
deficiency (for example, pCHOI), and the vector is amplified using
methotrexate (MTX). Alternatively, the following method can be used
for transient gene expression: COS cells with a gene expressing
SV40 T antigen on their chromosome are transformed with a vector
with an SV40 replication origin (pcD and such). Replication origins
derived from polyoma virus, adenovirus, bovine papilloma virus
(BPV), and such can also be used. To amplify gene copy number in
host cells, the expression vectors may further carry selection
markers such as aminoglycoside transferase (APH) gene, thymidine
kinase (TK) gene, E. coli xanthine-guanine
phosphoribosyltransferase (Ecogpt) gene, and dihydrofolate
reductase (dhfr) gene.
[0180] Antibodies can be collected, for example, by culturing
transformed cells, and then separating the antibodies from the
inside of the transformed cells or from the culture media.
Antibodies can be separated and purified using an appropriate
combination of methods such as centrifugation, ammonium sulfate
fractionation, salting out, ultrafiltration, lq, FcRn, protein A,
protein G column, affinity chromatography, ion exchange
chromatography, and gel filtration chromatography.
[0181] Furthermore, the present invention provides methods for
altering a polypeptide to produce a polypeptide with improved
stability as compared to the parent polypeptide. Thus, the present
invention relates to methods for improving the stability of a
polypeptide having an antibody Fc region as compared to the parent
polypeptide by introducing at least one amino acid alteration in a
loop region of the Fc region. In the present methods, melting
temperature (Tm) is preferably used as an index for evaluating or
judging the stability.
[0182] In addition, the present invention provides methods for
producing a polypeptide with improved stability as compared to a
parent polypeptide.
[0183] As an embodiment of the production methods of the present
invention, for example, a method for producing a polypeptide which
has an antibody Fc region, at least one of whose amino acids in a
loop region of the Fc region is altered, and which has improved
stability as compared to the parent antibody, is provided.
[0184] For example, such methods include methods including the
following steps:
(a) adding at least one amino acid alteration to the Fc region of a
polypeptide having an antibody Fc region; (b) measuring the
stability of the polypeptide altered in step (a); and (c) selecting
a polypeptide with improved stability as compared to the parent
polypeptide.
[0185] Preferred embodiments include a method for producing a
polypeptide which has antibody Fc region, at least one of whose
amino acids in a loop region of the Fc region is altered, and which
has improved stability as compared to the parent polypeptide,
wherein the method includes the following steps:
(a) altering a nucleic acid encoding the polypeptide so that its
stability is improved as compared to the parent peptide; (b)
introducing the nucleic acid into host cells and culturing them to
induce expression; and (c) collecting the polypeptide from the host
cell culture.
[0186] Furthermore, polypeptides (antibodies) and Fc fusion protein
molecules produced by this production method are also included in
the present invention.
[0187] In preferred embodiments of the above-mentioned methods, for
example, a nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide having an Fc region
of antibody (such as human IgG) such that at least one or more
amino acids are altered at amino acid position(s) of the loop
region of the Fc region selected from the group consisting of:
position 234 (EU numbering), position 235 (EU numbering), position
236 (EU numbering), position 237 (EU numbering), position 238 (EU
numbering), position 239 (EU numbering), position 247 (EU

numbering), position 268 (EU numbering), position 269 (EU
numbering), position 270 (EU numbering), position 271 (EU
numbering), position 295 (EU numbering), position 296 (EU
numbering), position 298 (EU numbering), position 300 (EU
numbering), position 307 (EU numbering), position 309 (EU
numbering), position 315 (EU numbering), position 324 (EU
numbering), position 325 (EU numbering), position 326 (EU
numbering), position 327 (EU numbering), position 329 (EU
numbering), position 330 (EU numbering), position 333 (EU
numbering), position 335 (EU numbering), position 337 (EU
numbering), position 360 (EU numbering), position 385 (EU
numbering), position 386 (EU numbering), position 387 (EU
numbering), position 389 (EU numbering), position 428 (EU
numbering), and position 433 (EU numbering).
[0188] In the above-mentioned methods or production methods (which
may be simply referred to as "methods"), it is preferred to further
reduce the binding activity towards Fc.gamma.R. In order to make
modifications to maintain or enhance the binding activity towards
Fc.gamma.R as compared to the parent polypeptide, for example, the
steps of altering the amino acid alteration sites of TS1-TS8,
TS20-TS27, TS44-TS50, TS52-TS55, and TS57-TS67 as shown in the
Examples described below, may be included.
[0189] Alternatively, it is preferred to further maintain or
enhance the binding activity towards Fc.gamma.R in the
above-mentioned methods. In order to make modifications to reduce
the binding activity towards Fc.gamma.R as compared to the parent
polypeptide, for example, the steps of altering the amino acid
alteration sites of TS9-19, TS28-43, TS51, and TS56 as shown in the
Examples described below, may be included.
[0190] The alteration sites of TS1-TS67 are as mentioned above.
[0191] In the above-mentioned methods, for example, it is preferred
to alter amino acids in a polypeptide that has an Fc region of
antibody (such as human IgG).
[0192] Furthermore, the present invention provides nucleic acids
encoding a polypeptide which has an antibody Fc region, at least
one of whose amino acids in a loop region of the Fc region is
altered, and which has improved stability as compared to the parent
polypeptide. The nucleic acids of the present invention may be in
any form such as DNA and RNA.
[0193] The present invention also provides vectors carrying the
above-described nucleic acids of the present invention. The type of
vector can be appropriately selected by those skilled in the art
depending on the host cells to be introduced with the vector. The
vectors include, for example, those described above.
[0194] Furthermore, the present invention relates to host cells
transformed with the above-described vectors of the present
invention. Appropriate host cells can be selected by those skilled
in the art. The host cells include, for example, those described
above.
<Pharmaceutical Compositions>
[0195] The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions
comprising a polypeptide or Fc fusion protein molecule of the
present invention.
[0196] The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can
be formulated, in addition to a polypeptide or Fc-fusion protein
molecule of the present invention described above, with
pharmaceutically acceptable carriers by known methods. For example,
the compositions can be used parenterally, when the antibodies are
formulated in a sterile solution or suspension for injection using
water or any other pharmaceutically acceptable liquid. For example,
the compositions can be formulated by appropriately combining the
antibodies or Fc-fusion protein molecules with pharmaceutically
acceptable carriers or media, specifically, sterile water or
physiological saline, vegetable oils, emulsifiers, suspending
agents, surfactants, stabilizers, flavoring agents, excipients,
vehicles, preservatives, binding agents, and such, by mixing them
at a unit dose and form required by generally accepted
pharmaceutical implementations. Specific examples of the carriers
include light anhydrous silicic acid, lactose, crystalline
cellulose, mannitol, starch, carmellose calcium, carmellose sodium,
hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose,
polyvinylacetal diethylaminoacetate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, gelatin,
medium-chain triglyceride, polyoxyethylene hardened castor oil 60,
saccharose, carboxymethyl cellulose, corn starch, inorganic salt,
and such. The content of the active ingredient in such a
formulation is adjusted so that an appropriate dose within the
required range can be obtained.
[0197] Sterile compositions for injection can be formulated using
vehicles such as distilled water for injection, according to
standard protocols.
[0198] Aqueous solutions used for injection include, for example,
physiological saline and isotonic solutions containing glucose or
other adjuvants such as D-sorbitol, D-mannose, D-mannitol, and
sodium chloride. These can be used in conjunction with suitable
solubilizers such as alcohol, specifically ethanol, polyalcohols

surfactants such as Polysorbate 80.TM. and HCO-50.
[0199] Oils include sesame oils and soybean oils, and can be
combined with solubilizers such as benzyl benzoate or benzyl
alcohol. These may also be formulated with buffers, for example,
phosphate buffers or sodium acetate buffers; analgesics, for
example, procaine hydrochloride; stabilizers, for example, benzyl
alcohol or phenol; or antioxidants. The prepared injections are
typically aliquoted into appropriate ampules.
[0200] The administration is preferably carried out parenterally,
and specifically includes injection, intranasal administration,
intrapulmonary administration, and percutaneous administration. For
example, injections can be administered systemically or locally by
intravenous injection, intramuscular injection, intraperitoneal
injection, or subcutaneous injection.
[0201] Furthermore, the method of administration can be
appropriately selected according to the age and symptoms of the
patient. A single dosage of the pharmaceutical composition
containing an antibody or a polynucleotide encoding an antibody can
be selected, for example, from the range of 0.0001 to 1,000 mg per
kg of body weight. Alternatively, the dosage may be, for example,
in the range of 0.001 to 100,000 mg/patient. However, the dosage is
not limited to these values. The dosage and method of
administration vary depending on the patient's body weight, age,
and symptoms, and can be appropriately selected by those skilled in
the art.

EXAMPLES
[0207] Herein below, the present invention will be specifically
described with reference to the Examples, but it is not to be
construed as being limited thereto. In the present Examples, the
sites of amino acids modified in the Fc region were numbered
according to the EU numbering system (see, Sequences of proteins of
immunological interest, NIH Publication No. 91-3242).
Example 1
Improvement of Thermal Stability Through Modification of the CH2
Domain Loop Region
[0208] Generally, .beta. sheet structure is known to readily
undergo structural changes and reduction in thermal stability by
amino acid mutations (Biochemistry 1994; 33:5510-5517; and Nature
1994; 367:660-663). Therefore, in the present invention, the loop
regions of the Fc region were selected for mutagenesis to improve
the thermal stability.
[0209] The amino acids of L234-5239, D265-P271, Q295, Y296, 5298,
Y300, S324-S337 in the loop region of the CH2 domain of Fc region
B3 (SEQ ID NO: 16) were substituted with each of 18 amino acids not
including the original amino acid and cysteine, to produce Fc
mutants (FIG. 4). These are called Fc variants. Anti-GPC3
antibodies were produced using these Fc variants. Antibodies
composed of an H chain which consists of variable region GpH7 (SEQ
ID NO: 17) and an Fc variant as the Fc region and an L chain which
consists of variable region GpL16 (SEQ ID NO: 18) and constant
region k0 (SEQ ID NO: 19) (hereinafter denoted as GpH7-Fc
variant/GpL16-k0) were produced according to the method of
Reference Example 1.
[0210] The melting temperature (Tm) of the produced antibodies was
evaluated according to the method of Reference Example 2. In the
following, unless otherwise noted, "Tm" refers to the Tm of the CH2
domain when a sample in the form of IgG was subjected to
measurement. The obtained Tm data are shown in FIG. 1.
[0211] The Tm of B3, which did not contain mutations
(GpH7-B3/GpL16-k0: GpH7 (SEQ ID NO: 17), B3 (SEQ ID NO: 16), GpL16
(SEQ ID NO: 18), k0 (SEQ ID NO: 19)), was approximately 68.degree.
C., and mutants showing a higher Tm than this value are shown in
Tables 1-1 and 1-2.

Example 2
Preparation and Evaluation of IgG1 with Novel Fc Regions that
Improve Thermal Stability
[0213] Based on the data from Example 1 and structural information
(Nature 2000; 406: 267-273), several mutations presumed to be
particularly effective for improving thermal stability were
selected. One or more of the selected mutations were introduced
into the H chains of the anti-GPC3 antibody (GpH7-Gld/GpL16-k0:
GpH7 (SEQ ID NO: 17), Gld (SEQ ID NO: 15), GpL16 (SEQ ID NO: 18),
k0 (SEQ ID NO: 19)) and the anti-IL6R antibody (MHO-Gld/MLO-k0:
GpH7 (SEQ ID NO: 17), Gld (SEQ ID NO: 15), MLO (SEQ ID NO: 21), k0
(SEQ ID NO: 19)) to produce TS1 to TS19 (SEQ ID NOs: 26-44) shown
in Table 2. At the same time, to evaluate effects on improvement of
thermal stability by introduction of disulfide bond(s) in IgG form,
the mutations of m01 and m02 reported in a prior document (J Biol.
Chem. 2009; 284: 14203-14210) were introduced to the H chain of
anti-IL6R to produce the TSm01 and TSm02 variants (SEQ ID NOs: 24
and 25). Each antibody was expressed and purified by the method of
Reference Example 1.

[0214] Using the prepared antibodies, Tm values were compared by
the method described in Reference Example 2. The results of Tm
measurements are shown in Table 3.

[0215] In the results, the samples that were not evaluated are
indicated as "n.t." (not tested), and the samples for which Tm was
difficult to detect are indicated as "n.d." (not detected).
[0216] From the variants of TS1-TS19, the variants of TS1-3 and
TS5-19 showed improvement of Tm when both the H chain sequence of
anti-GPC3 and that of anti-IL6R were used. On the other hand, TS4
showed a decrease in Tm for both H chain sequences. The alteration
of Q295M, which was introduced into TS4, improved Tm by
approximately 2.degree. C. by itself alone (TS3), but was found to
result in decreased Tm when the Y300E alteration was simultaneously
introduced. According to the structural information, Q295 and Y300
are located opposite to each other on the same loop. The Q295M
substitution may enhance the amino acid side chain interaction with
Y300. However, it is speculated that simultaneous introduction of
the Q295M and Y300E substitutions eliminated the interaction
between the amino acid side chains.
[0217] As shown above, it was demonstrated that a combination of
mutations improving Tm further improves Tm except for mutations
having bad influence on structure. As such, in addition to TS1-3
and TS5-19 disclosed herein, it is possible to produce more
combinations of Tm-improving alterations based on structural
information.
[0218] With regard to TSm01 and TSm02, which were evaluated at the
same time, the prior document (J Biol. Chem. 2009; 284:14203-14210)
demonstrated that they increased Tm about 10.degree. C. to
20.degree. C. when the CH2 domain alone was expressed and evaluated
for Tm. However, in the present examination where they were
evaluated for Tm in the IgG form, multiple denaturation points were
detected for TSm01, and it was difficult to clearly determine the
thermal denaturation of the CH2 domain. This suggests a high
possibility that TSm01 is structurally heterogeneous.
[0219] Furthermore, the Tm of TSm02 increased only by approximately
4.degree. C. as compared to that of IgG1. This demonstrates that
the introduction of disulfide bonds is less effective in improving
Tm in the IgG form, and the mutations found by the present
inventors are more effective for improving Tm.
[0220] Tm of Fab of the anti-GPC3 antibody used in this examination
is 74.7.degree. C. Therefore, with regard to TS13 to TS19, in which
mutations have been introduced into the H chain of anti-GPC3, it
was presumed that the fluorescence transition curves of CH2 and Fab
would overlap, making accurate calculation of Tm difficult.
Accordingly, as it was considered inappropriate to use the H chain
of anti-GPC3 to test combinations effect on Tm, subsequent
examinations were carried out using the H chain of anti-IL6R.
Example 3
Assessment of Binding of Novel Fc Regions to Human Fc.gamma.
Receptors
[0221] Regarding modification of antibody Fc regions, there are
reports of Fc regions with enhanced or reduced effector functions
such as ADCC activity (reference: current opinion, 2009, 20,
685-691). Antibodies with enhanced effector functions may be useful
mainly as antibodies for cancer therapy, and antibodies with
reduced effector functions may be useful as, for example,
neutralizing antibodies or receptor-Fc fusions such as Enbrel and
Orencis. It is important that they are used appropriately depending
on their respective purposes.
[0222] The CH2 domain, which was modified in this examination, is
known to be involved in interaction with several human Fc.gamma.
receptors (hereinafter denoted as hFcgRs) which affect effector
functions. Therefore, the binding of TS1 and TS19 prepared by using
the H chain of anti-IL6R produced in Example 2 to hFcgRs was
measured, according to the method described in Reference Example 3.
The measurement results are summarized in Table 4, where the
binding of each antibody to each hFcgR relative to the binding of
G1 to each hFcgR, which was taken as 100, was calculated.

[0223] The results showed that while the binding of TS1 to TS8 to
hFcgRs was equivalent to that of G1, the binding of TS9-19 to
hFcgRs was weaker than that of G1.
Example 4
Production and Evaluation of Novel Fc Regions with Combined
Mutations that Maintain Binding Ability to hFcgRs
[0224] When mutations with improving stability are introduced, it
is important that antibodies for cancer therapy, whose effector
functions are important, retain binding ability to hFcgRs. The
mutations of TS1 to TS8, which were found to maintain binding
ability to hFcgRs in Example 3, were combined to produce new
variants TS20 to TS27 as shown in Table 5 (SEQ ID NOs: 45 to 52).
Each antibody was expressed and purified by the method described in
Reference Example 1. The prepared antibodies were subjected to Tm
assessment by the method of Reference Example 2, and the results
are shown in Table 6.

[0225] Furthermore, binding ability to hFcgRs was measured by the
method described in Reference Example 3. Binding of each antibody

[0226] For all variants of TS20 to TS27, combining the mutations
resulted in improved Tm while maintaining the binding ability to
hFcgRs. The variants which were the most effective to improve Tm
were TS20 and TS24, and they increase Tm approximately 3.degree. C.

Example 5
Production and Evaluation of Novel Fc Regions with Combined
Mutations that Reduce Binding Ability to hFcgRs
[0227] When mutations for improving stability are introduced into
neutralizing antibodies, it is preferred to have as low effector
functions as possible. The mutations of TS9 to TS19, which were
found out to reduce binding affinity to hFcgRs in Example 3, were
combined to produce new variants TS28 to TS43 as shown in Table 8
(SEQ ID NOs: 53 to 68). Each antibody was expressed and purified by
the method described in Reference Example 1. The prepared
antibodies were subjected to Tm assessment by the method of
Reference Example 2, and the results are shown in Table 9.

[0228] Furthermore, binding ability to hFcgRs was measured by the
method described in Reference Example 3. Binding of each antibody
to each hFcgR was calculated relative to the binding of G1 to each
hFcgR, which was taken as 100, and the results are shown in Table
10.

[0229] For all the variants of TS28 to TS43, combining the
mutations increased Tm by 13.degree. C. or more. Furthermore,
combining the mutations greatly reduced the binding ability to
FcgRs.
Example 6
Assessment of Aggregate Content of IgG1 with Novel Fc Regions
Having Improved Thermal Stability
[0230] Since aggregates affect storage stability and
immunogenicity, it is preferred that mutations for improving
thermal stability should not increase the content of aggregate.
Accordingly, TS20 to TS43, which combine multiple mutations, and
TSm01, and TSm02 were assessed for aggregate content by the method
of Reference Example 4. The chromatograms for the measurement are
shown in FIG. 2, and the aggregate contents are shown in Table
11.

[0231] TS20 to TS27, which maintain the binding ability to hFcgRs,
showed comparable aggregation content to G1, demonstrating that
these thermal stability-improving mutations were found not to have
a large effect on aggregate content. On the other hand, for TS28 to
TS43, which greatly reduced the binding ability to hFcgRs, while
the amount of aggregates was slightly increased in TS29, 33, and
35, the other variants showed almost the same aggregate amount as
that of G1. In contrast, the disulfide bond-introduced variants
TSm01 and TSm02 showed a significant increase in the aggregate
content, that is, about 5 times and 3 times that of G1,
respectively.
[0232] The above-mentioned results demonstrate that the mutations
discovered in this examination by the present inventors are
first-ever mutations that improved the thermal stability while
maintaining the physicochemical properties.
Example 7
Production and Evaluation of IgG1 with Novel Fc Regions that
Improve Thermal Stability
[0233] The above-mentioned result showed that introducing mutations
to the CH2 domain improves the Tm. Therefore, regions that had not
been examined for introduction of mutations in Example 1 were
examined for whether there were any mutations to improve the Tm,
and new variants TS44 to TS67 as shown in Table 12 were produced
(SEQ ID NOs: 69-92). Each antibody was expressed and purified by
the method described in Reference Example 1 and the results are
shown in Table 13. Furthermore, binding ability to hFcgRs was
measured by the method described in Reference Example 3. Binding of
each antibody to each hFcgR was calculated relative to the binding
of G1 to each hFcgR, which was taken as 100, and the results are
shown in Table 14.

[0234] The variant with the highest Tm in this examination was
TS48, and increased Tm approximately 5.degree. C. The other
variants also showed improvement in the Tm. The binding ability of
TS51 and TS56 to hFcgRs was slightly decreased, and the others
maintained their hFcgRs-binding ability.
Reference Example 1
Production of Antibody Expression Vectors and Expression and
Purification of Antibodies
[0235] Amino acid substitutions were introduced by methods known to
those skilled in the art using the QuikChange Site-Directed
Mutagenesis Kit (Stratagene), PCR, and such, or the In fusion
Advantage PCR cloning kit (TAKARA), and then expression vectors
were constructed. The nucleotide sequences of the obtained
expression vectors were determined by methods known to those
skilled in the art. The produced plasmids were transiently
introduced into human embryonic kidney cancer-derived cell line
HEK293H (Invitrogen) or FreeStyle293 (Invitrogen) to express
antibodies. From the resulting culture supernatant, antibodies were
purified by methods known to those skilled in the art using the
rProtein A Sepharose.TM. Fast Flow (GE Healthcare). The
concentrations of the purified antibodies were determined by
measuring absorbance at 280 nm using a spectrophotometer, and
calculating from the measured values using an extinction
coefficient determined by the PACE method (Protein Science 1995; 4:
2411-2423).
Reference Example 2
Assessment of Melting Temperature (Tm) of the Modified Antibodies
by Differential Scanning Fluorimetry
[0236] In this examination, thermal stability was assessed by
measuring the melting temperature (Tm) of antibodies by
differential scanning fluorimetry using Rotor-Gene Q (QIAGEN). It
has been reported that this method shows a good correlation with Tm
assessment that uses differential scanning calorimetry, which is a
widely known method for evaluating thermal stability of antibodies
(Journal of Pharmaceutical Science 2010; 4: 1707-1720).
[0237] The 5000 times concentrated SYPRO orange (Molecular Probes)
was diluted with PBS (Sigma), and then added to the antibody
solutions to prepare measurement samples. A 20 .mu.L aliquot of
each sample was placed into a measurement tube, and the temperature
was increased from 30.degree. C. to 99.degree. C. at 0.4.degree. C.
increments with an equilibration time of approximately six seconds
before measurement of fluorescence intensity at 470 nm (excitation
wavelength)/555 nm (fluorescence wavelength).
[0238] The data were analyzed using Rotor-Gene Q Series Software
(QIAGEN) to calculate the temperature at which fluorescence
transition was observed, and this temperature was defined as
Tm.
Reference Example 3
Assessment of Binding Ability to hFcgRs
[0239] Interactions between antibodies and hFcgRs (hFcgRIa,
hFcgRIIa(R), hFcgRIIa(H), hFcgRIIb, hFcgRIIIa(F), and hFcgRIIIa(V))
were analyzed using Biacore T100 (GE Healthcare). HBS-EP+ (GE
Healthcare) was used for the running buffer, and the measurement
temperature was set at 25.degree. C. Protein A (Invitrogen) was
immobilized by the amino coupling method, and an antibody of
interest was captured thereon. Then, hFc.gamma.R solutions diluted
using the running buffer were injected to allow interaction with
the captured antibody at a flow rate of 30 .mu.L/min for five
minutes for hFc.gamma.RIa, and at a flow rate of 5 .mu.L/min for
one minute for the other hFc.gamma.Rs. The level of binding ability
to the antibody was determined, and the results were compared among
the antibodies. Since the hFc.gamma.R binding level depends on the
amount of captured antibodies, the FcgR-binding levels were
corrected so that the capture level of each antibody would be 200
RU (resonance unit) for hFcgRIa and 1000 RU (resonance unit) for
the other hFcgRs. The captured antibodies were washed by allowing
10 mM glycine-HCl (pH 1.5) to react for 30 seconds at a flow rate
of 30 .mu.L/min to recycle the chip for reuse.
Reference Example 4
Evaluation of Aggregate Content
[0240] The aggregate content in the purified antibody was evaluated
by SEC analysis using the Alliance system (Waters). The mobile
phase was 50 mM phosphate buffer containing 300 mM sodium chloride
(pH7.0, Isekyu), the analytical column was G3000SW.sub.XL (TOSOH),
and measurements were taken at a wavelength of 215 nm. The data
were analyzed using Empower2 (Waters). Components that eluted as
higher molecular weight species than the monomer were collectively
taken as aggregates, and their content was calculated.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY
[0241] In the reported antibody Fc region variants, the stability
of the Fc region is reduced in most cases. In addition, it is
important that an antibody Fc region has effector functions, that
is, binds to Fc.gamma.Rs. By the present invention, it is possible
to provide highly stable Fc region variants maintaining
Fc.gamma.R-binding, or highly stable Fc region variants with
reduced Fc.gamma.R-binding.
