This application is a Chinese application No. 03U9290.9 filed on June 13, 2003 and filed on January 30, 2003. 〇〇 (Title: Preparation and Application of Antitumor Bifunctional Fusion Protein), which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. Statements about federally sponsored research or development are not applicable. [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to the field of tumor immunology, and mainly relates to an anti-tumor bifunctional fusion protein and its nucleic acid sequence, and its preparation and application method for preparing anti-tumor drugs. [Prior art] Tumor immunotherapy involves the control of natural host defense mechanisms or the manipulation of immune agents to cause tumor regression. Immunotherapy is a recognized form of cardiopulmonary resentment, accompanied by traditional forms of surgical resection, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy for the treatment of malignant conditions. In fact, immunotherapy is often used as a "complementary therapy" 'in more common therapies, such as surgery and radiation. The motive force of this combination therapy lies in the shortcomings of the traditional form. For example, liver cancer, breast cancer, and lymphoma are the most common cancers in China. However, three points <-hepatocellular carcinoma patients have a tumor burden that is unsuitable for surgery at the time of diagnosis. More importantly, even though the surgical resection can be applied to such patients, the problem of long-distance, undetected micrometastasis is still not addressed by this therapy. Similarly, the traditional therapies of radiation therapy and chemotherapy have significant limitations. 89753.doc 200427698 is most prominent in the systemic suppression of hematopoietic and immune systems. Therefore, the toxic effects of radiation and chemotherapy can limit the efficacy of these therapies in situations where radical treatment is most needed-patients with a significant tumor burden at the time of diagnosis. Therefore, it is generally desirable to discover novel and effective strategies that will complement traditional therapies. Tumor immunotherapy can be achieved by administering antibodies specific to the tumor antigen. Although antibodies have typically been used as transporters of toxic moiety groups, recent studies have shown that monoclonal antibodies (mAb) that resist certain cell surface molecules, such as FAS, EGFR, and HER2, are triggered directly by triggering the cell decay pathway. Causes tumor cell death. See, for example, Shimizu and others,
Commun. 228(2) : 375-79 (1996)。這暗示調制特定發出訊息途徑 ,特別是造成腫瘤細胞死亡者,可提供抗體所媒介腫瘤免 疫療法之一種成功策略。採用此策略之至少一種抗體,在 臨床試驗期間已是成功的。贺西伯亭(Herceptin),一種對人類 HER2為專一之單株抗體,會在Her2+腫瘤細胞中引致細胞凋 零,且已成功地被使用於乳癌之活體内治療上。參閱,例 如 Burstein 等人,乂 C7,>z. Ozc(9/. 21 : 2889-95 (2003)。但是,此種抗 體療法之經察覺限制之一是遠距離轉移仍然可能逃避此種 療法,或抗原陰性變種將發展之可能性,導致稍後以轉移 性疾病復發。 免疫療法亦可經由在投予腫瘤疫苗之後,自病患誘出活性 抗腫瘤免疫回應而達成。理想上,腫瘤疫苗係傳輸致免疫 腫瘤抗原至適當抗原呈現細胞,而造成有效且長持續性抗 腫瘤免疫回應之產生。研究已証實樹突細胞(DC),一種抗原 呈現細胞類型,在有效抗腫瘤免疫回應中,係扮演一項決 89753 200427698 定性角色。參閱,例如Zitvogel等人,J·及;λ MM· 1S1 : 87-97 (1996) ;Choudhury 等人,必旋巡:1133-42 (1997);及 DiNicola 等人,細應 活:# ·知應分f |法生:265-73 (1998)。DC會刺激自然CD4+與 CD8+ T細胞個別分化成T輔助細胞(Th)與細胞毒性T淋巴球 (CTL)。DC可表現高含量之種類I與種類II主要組織適應複合 (MHC)抗原、共刺激分子、黏連分子,及分泌高含量之IL-12 ,一種在CTL分化與活化作用上之有效細胞活素。參閱,例 如 Banchereau 等人,Nature 392 : 245-52 (1998) ; Banchereau 等人, : 767-811 (2000)。因 CTL 所媒介之抗腫瘤回 應被認為會產生長期保護,以抵抗腫瘤再生長,故DC似乎 係為所選擇之抗原呈現細胞,以供腫瘤免疫療法使用。 雖然腫瘤疫苗明顯地賦予長期保護,以防止腫瘤轉移性贅 生物,及甚至是後續腫瘤攻擊,但此項知識之臨床應用已 誣實是有困難的。參閱,例如Fong等人,J肌IE.: 245-73 (2000)。首先,已証實難以可信賴地擴大功能性DC在 活體外擴大擬案中。由於此免疫必須受MHC-限制,故被採 用於免疫療法策略中之任何活體外DC必須是被治療病患之 DC。其次,DC在活體内之可重現性活化作用尚未被達成。 第三,無任何明顯擬案已被建立,以允許所要DC個體群之 活化作用與抗原負載,意即能夠謗出抗腫瘤回應者。總而 言之,經活化DC選擇性地位於目前致免疫腫瘤抗原之腫瘤 位置之擴張,係為一項仍然未解決之問題。 因此,雖然明瞭免疫分子,例如腫瘤專一抗體與誘出免疫 回應之疫苗,可影嚮腫瘤生長,但允許同時降低腫瘤生長 89753 200427698 且產生持續保護性免疫回應之統一途徑,則仍然缺乏。 【發明内容】 本文中所提供者為一種嵌合蛋白質,其允許同時根除腫瘤 細胞,及刺激有效抗腫瘤免疫回應。明確言之,此歲合蛋 白質包含至少兩種成份。第一種成份為Flt3配位體(FL)或其 生物活性片段。FL為DC及其他抗腫瘤效應子譬如NK細胞之 有效向化性分子與活化劑。第二種成份為會引致細胞死亡 之殺腫瘤劑。此種藥劑可為配位體或腫瘤專一抗體,其會 直接引致細胞凋零,意即經過細胞凋零階式反應之直接引 發(例如Fas配位體),或腫瘤專一抗體,其會間接媒介細胞 凋零,> 意即經過細胞活素剝奪之相關細胞凋零(例如抗-EGFR 抗體)。因此,此嵌合蛋白質會降低腫瘤負荷,其方式是直 接引致腫瘤細胞之細胞凋零,同時亦瞄準與活化DC及其他 抗腫瘤效應子,例如NK細胞,以浸潤腫瘤組織。於是,藉 由垂死腫瘤細胞釋出之腫瘤抗原可被FL_活化之DC處理與呈 現’其接著有效地充作抗原呈現細胞,供專一抗腫瘤免疫 回應使用。因此’此嵌合蛋白質同時達成直接與間接腫瘤 細胞脫除,同時又誘出抵抗腫瘤細胞之有效活性免疫回應 ,其會防止腫瘤生長之復發。 一方面,本發明係針對一種嵌合蛋白質,此嵌合蛋白質包 含Flt3配位體或其生物活性片段,及蛋白質性或肽基殺腫瘤 劑。 於另一方面,本發明係針對一種使嵌合蛋白質編碼之經單 離核酸,琢歆合蛋白質包含Flt3配位體或其生物活性片段, 89753 200427698 及蛋白質性或肽基殺腫瘤劑。亦提供包含該核酸之重組細 胞,及使用該核酸製造該嵌合蛋白質之方法。 於又再另一方面,本發明係針對一種醫藥組合物,其包含 有效量之包含F!t3配位體與蛋白質性或肽基殺腫瘤劑之喪合 蛋白質,及藥學上可接受之載劑或賦形劑。 在本發明之一些具體實施例中,嵌合蛋白質之胺基酸順序 ,及使該嵌合蛋白質編碼之核苷酸順序,係包含圖16-18, 20-22, 27-29, 35-37及39-42中所示之順序。包含此等核苷酸順序之質 粒,係被寄存於_,具有收受號碼為_。 於進一步方面_,本發明係針對一種組合,此組合包含:a) 有效臺之嵌合蛋白質,其包含Flt3配位體與蛋白質性或肽基 殺腫瘤劑;與b)有效量之抗贅瘤劑。 於又再另一方面,本發明係針對一種在哺乳動物中治療贅 瘤之方法,此方法包括對需要或想要此種治療之哺乳動物 投予有效量之上述組合之組合。 於另一方面本發明係針對一種套件,其包含有效量之包含 Flt3配位體與蛋白質性或肽基殺腫瘤劑之嵌合蛋白質,及投 予該嵌合蛋白質之指示裝置。 一方面,本發明係針對一種在哺乳動物中治療贅瘤之方法 ,此方法包括對需要或想要此種治療之哺乳動物投予有效 量之包含Flt3配位體與蛋白質性或肽基殺腫瘤劑之嵌合蛋白 質。 於另一方面,本發明係針對一種在細胞中引致半胱天冬酶 -3所媒介細胞凋零之法,此方法包括對需要或想要此種謗發 89753 -10- 200427698 之細胞投予有效量之包含Flt3配位體與蛋白質性或肽基殺腫 瘤劑之嵌合蛋白質。 於又另一方面,本發明係描述一種疫苗,其包含有效量之 包含Flt3配位體與蛋白質性或肽基殺腫瘤劑之嵌合蛋白質, 與免疫回應強化劑。 方;另方面本發明係針對一種在哺乳動物中謗出抗贅瘤 免疫回應之方法,此方法包括對需要或想要此種謗出之哺 乳動物投予有效量之本文中所揭示之疫苗。 於又再另一方面,本發明係針對一種產生腫瘤專一淋巴細 胞之方法,此方法包括對哺乳動物投予有效量之包含配 位尊與蛋白質性或肽基殺腫瘤劑之嵌合蛋白質,以產生腫 瘤專一淋巴細胞,並自該哺乳動物回收該已產生之腫瘤專 一淋巴細胞。 發明詳述 為揭示清楚而非作為限制起見,將本發明之詳細說明區分 成下述數個分節。 A·定義 除非另有定義,否則於本文中所使用之所有技術與科學術 語均具有與一般熟諳本發明所歸屬技藝者平常所瞭解之相 同意義。於本文中引用之所有專利、申請案、已公告之申 請案及其他公報,均以其全文併於本文供參考。若在此段 落中所提出之μ,係與併於本文供參考之專%、申請案 、已公告之中請案及其他公報中所提出之^義相反或者不 -致’則在此段落中所提出之定義係比併於本文供參考之 89753 -11 - 200427698 定義優先。 於本文中使用之π —種”或”一個’’係意謂’’至少一種(一個)” 或”一或多種(多個)"。 於本文中使用之”核酸π係指脫氧核糖核酸(DNA)及/或核 糖核酸(RNA),呈任何形式,包括尤其是單股、雙螺旋、三 螺旋、線性及環狀形式。亦包括多核苷酸、寡核苷酸、核 酸之嵌合體及其類似物。本文中所述之核酸可由習知脫氧 核糖核苷酸與核糖核苷酸所組成,而其係由鹼基腺苷、胞 嘧啶、鳥嘌呤、胸苷及脲嘧啶核苷所組成,或可由此等鹼 基之類似物或衍生物所組成。此外,具有非習用磷酸二酯 主鏢之各種其他寡核菩酸衍生物,亦被包含於本文中,譬 如磷酸三酯、多核肽(ΡΝΑ)、甲基膦酸酯、偶磷基硫代酸酯 、多核甞酸引物、經閉鎖核酸(LNA)等。 於本文中使用之f’組合物’f係指兩種或多種產物或化合物之 任何混合物。其可為溶液、懸浮液、液體、粉末、糊劑、 水性、非水性或其任何組合。 於本文中使用之π組合”係指在兩種之間或在更多種項目中 之任何結合。 Β·包含Flt3配位體與殺腫瘤劑之嵌合蛋白質,及使其編碼 之核酸 一方面,本發明係針對後合蛋白質,此後合蛋白質係包含 Flt3配位體或其生物活性片段,及蛋白質性或肽基殺腫瘤劑 。此嵌合蛋白質較佳為經單離之蛋白質,意即未與其他蛋 白質、多肽或其他分子結合。在一些具體實施例中,此嵌 89753 -12- 200427698 合蛋白質為重組宿主細胞培養物之純化產物,或作成經純 化之萃取物。 任何適當Flt3配位體可在本文中所提供之組合物與方法中 。於本文中使用之’’Flt3配位體’’ 一詞係指多肽種類,其係經 過原始粒子細胞中發現之Flt3受體結合並引致發出訊息。亦 意欲Flt3配位體或其生物活性片段可包含不會實質上改變其 活性之保守胺基酸取代。胺基酸之適當保守取代係為熟諳 此項技藝者所已知,並可一般性地製成,而不會改變所形 成分子之生物學活性。熟諳此項技藝者明瞭,一般而言, 在多肽之非必須區域中之單一胺基酸取代,不會實質上改 變生物學活性。參閱,例如Watson等人,基因之分子生物學, 第4版,1987, Benjamin/Cummings出版公司,第224頁。此種舉例之 取代較佳係根據如下表1中所提出者製成: 表1 原始殘基 保守取代 Ala (A) Gly ; Ser Arg(R) Lys Asn (N) Gin ; His Cys (C) Ser Gin (Q) Asn Glu (E) Asp Gly (G) Ala ; Pro His (H) Asn ; Gin lie (I) Leu ; Val Leu (L) lie ; Val Lys (K) Arg ; Gin ; Glu Met (M) Leu ; Tyr ; lie -13- 89753 200427698Commun. 228 (2): 375-79 (1996). This suggests that modulating specific signaling pathways, especially those that cause tumor cell death, can provide a successful strategy for antibody-mediated tumor immunotherapy. At least one antibody using this strategy has been successful during clinical trials. Herceptin, a monoclonal antibody specific for human HER2, causes cell death in Her2 + tumor cells and has been successfully used in vivo for breast cancer in vivo treatment. See, for example, Burstein et al., 乂 C7, > z. Ozc (9 /. 21: 2889-95 (2003). However, one of the perceived limitations of this antibody therapy is that long-distance transfer may still escape this therapy Or the possibility that antigen-negative variants will develop, leading to a later recurrence of metastatic disease. Immunotherapy can also be achieved by eliciting an active anti-tumor immune response from the patient after administration of a tumor vaccine. Ideally, a tumor vaccine It is the transmission of immunogenic tumor antigens to appropriate antigen-presenting cells, resulting in the production of an effective and long-lasting anti-tumor immune response. Studies have shown that dendritic cells (DC), an antigen-presenting cell type, are effective in anti-tumor immune responses. Department plays a qualitative role 89753 200427698. See, for example, Zitvogel et al., J. and; λ MM · 1S1: 87-97 (1996); Choudhury et al., Muster Tour: 1133-42 (1997); and DiNicola Et al., Thin Yinghuo: # · Zhiying F | Fasheng: 265-73 (1998). DC stimulates individual CD4 + and CD8 + T cells to differentiate into T helper cells (Th) and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) ). DC can show high content Type I and Type II major tissue adaptation complex (MHC) antigens, costimulatory molecules, adhesion molecules, and secretion of high levels of IL-12, an effective cytokine in CTL differentiation and activation. See, for example, Banchereau et al. Human, Nature 392: 245-52 (1998); Banchereau et al .: 767-811 (2000). Because the antitumor response mediated by CTL is thought to produce long-term protection against tumor regrowth, DC seems to be The selected antigen presents cells for use in tumor immunotherapy. Although tumor vaccines clearly confer long-term protection against tumor metastatic neoplasms, and even subsequent tumor attacks, the clinical application of this knowledge is well established Difficult. See, for example, Fong et al., J Mus IE .: 245-73 (2000). First, it has proven difficult to reliably expand functional DCs in in vitro expansion proposals. Because this immunity must be MHC-limited Therefore, any in vitro DC used in the immunotherapy strategy must be the DC of the patient being treated. Second, the reproducible activation of DC in vivo has not yet been achieved. Third, there is no obvious The proposal has been established to allow activation of the desired DC population and antigen loading, meaning to be able to shed anti-tumor responders. In summary, activated DCs are selectively located at the expansion of tumor sites that are currently immunogenic to tumor antigens. This is a problem that remains unresolved. Therefore, although it is clear that immune molecules, such as tumor-specific antibodies and vaccines that induce immune responses, can affect tumor growth, it allows simultaneous reduction of tumor growth 89753 200427698 and produces a protective immune response A unified approach is still lacking. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Provided herein is a chimeric protein that allows simultaneous eradication of tumor cells and stimulates an effective anti-tumor immune response. To be clear, this age-bound protein contains at least two ingredients. The first component is the Flt3 ligand (FL) or its biologically active fragment. FL is an effective chemotropic molecule and activator of DC and other antitumor effectors such as NK cells. The second component is a tumor killer that causes cell death. Such agents can be ligands or tumor-specific antibodies, which directly cause cell decay, meaning direct initiation via a cellular withering response (such as Fas ligands), or tumor-specific antibodies, which indirectly mediate cell death. , ≫ Means that the relevant cells withered by cytokine deprivation (such as anti-EGFR antibodies). Therefore, this chimeric protein can reduce tumor burden by directly dying the cells of tumor cells, while also targeting and activating DC and other antitumor effectors, such as NK cells, to infiltrate tumor tissues. Thus, tumor antigens released by dying tumor cells can be processed and presented by FL-activated DC ', which then effectively acts as antigen-presenting cells for use in a specific anti-tumor immune response. Therefore, 'this chimeric protein simultaneously achieves direct and indirect tumor cell removal, and at the same time induces an effective active immune response against tumor cells, which will prevent recurrence of tumor growth.

See, for example, Lyman et al., Adaptation, Handbook of Cytokines (edited by Thomson et al., 4th edition (2003)). In a specific embodiment, the Flt3 ligand or a biological or active fragment thereof is a soluble Flt3 ligand. In a specific embodiment of the betel composition and method mentioned herein, the Flt3 ligand or its biologically active fragment is a mammalian Flt3-ligand, and more preferably a human Flt3-ligand. The human Flt3 ligand is 72% identical to mouse proteins under the amino acid level and preserves many characteristics of mouse proteins, including glycosylation sites, key cysteine residues, and splice junctions. Suitable Flt3 ligand proteins are included in Lyman et al., Ce //, 21 · 1157-67 (1993), Hannum et al., 2M: 364-67 (1996); US Patent 5,843,423; US Patent Application Serial Number: 200030113341 And those disclosed in 20030148516; and Gene Bank acceptance numbers NM001459, U2 9874, U03858 and U04806. This Rt3 ligand receptor, Flt3, is a member of the class III receptor tyrosine kinase (RTKIII) receptor family. In normal cells, the Flt3 line is expressed in immature hematopoietic cells, typically CD34 + cells, placenta, gonads, and brain. See, for example, Rosnet et al. S2: 1110-19 (1993); Small et al. ); And Rosnet et al., Shamelessly ID: 238-48 (1996). Ht3 is also highly expressed in hematological malignancies, including acute myeloid leukemia, B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia, spinal dysplasia leukemia, T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and chronic myelogenous leukemia. The Flt3 receptor is stimulated by its ligand and activates the signal transduction pathway, which includes STAT5, phospholipid inositol 3'-kinase, PLC r, MAPK, SHC, SHP2, and SHIP. See, for example, Gilliand et al., CWr. // emato / · 殳: 274-81 (2002). Both cell membrane binding and soluble FL bind and activate the Flt3 receptor. In a specific embodiment, the Flt3 ligand or a biologically active fragment thereof stimulates the proliferation of blood stem or primitive particle cells. In a specific embodiment, the Flt3 ligand or a biologically active fragment thereof can stimulate the proliferation of cells selected from the group consisting of myeloid precursor cells, monocytes, macrophages, B-cells, trees Cells (DC) and natural killer (NK) cells. The Flt3 ligand is mainly expressed in the bone marrow environment by hematopoietic cells and other cells, including fibroblasts and B, T, and myeloid cell precursors. The Flt3 ligand is a growth factor for CD34 + primordial granulocytes, and will stimulate the growth and differentiation of dendritic cells and NK cells. For example, one study has shown that Flt3 has significant antitumor activity via NK cell activation mediators. Peron et al., Mi 6164-70 (1998).

See, e.g., Fong et al., TTzer 9. (12): 1127-38 (2002). More importantly, when induced by the Flt3 ligand, mature DCs are released from the bone marrow to peripheral tissues, thus increasing the number of antigen-presenting cells that can be used to stimulate the immune response. However, the proliferative effect is effectively elicited by the Flt3 ligand 89753 -15- 200427698, which typically requires the presence of other hematopoietic growth factors and mesotheliocytes. Any biological fragment of FL can be used in the compositions and methods of the invention. The term "biological activity" as used herein refers to a derivative or fragment of FL that still substantially retains its function as a Flt3 stimulator.

Any tumor killer or biologically active fragment thereof can be used in the methods and compositions provided herein As used herein, the term "tumor killer" refers to X kinds of agents that cause tumor cell death. The tumor killer is preferably proteinaceous or peptide-based. Cell death can be cell death, necrosis, etc. In a specific embodiment, the cell death is caused by the withering of the cells. The withering can be directly caused by a ligand that causes the withering of the signaling pathway, such as the Fas ligand, or indirectly, such as growth factors. deprivation. The term "cell dying" as used herein refers to the death of stylized cells of tumor cells, which will eventually cause condensation of chromatin and fragmentation of DNA. Any suitable method can be used to assess cell decay, including but not limited to flow cell count analysis, such as TUNEL analysis, agarose gel analysis, and caspase 3 activation. In another embodiment, the tumor killer of the chimeric protein is a naturally occurring antitumor agent. Such agents include receptor ligands ' which cause stasis or cell death in tumor cells. Examples of naturally occurring molecules such as ligands that cause cell death include alpha, Fas ^ D9 custom ligands, TRAIL, lymphotoxin (LT), TWEAK and TNF ligands 89753 -17- 200427698 others in the supergroup member. In a specific embodiment, the tumoricidal agent is selected from the group consisting of a Fas ligand, TNF, TRAIL, or a biologically active extracellular functional site thereof.

In another specific embodiment, the tumor killer of the chimeric protein is an antibody that inhibits tumor proliferation, and in some cases causes cell death. Examples of such antibodies include growth factor receptors. For example, the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) subgroup is composed of EGFR, HER2, HER3, and HER4, and its ideology is a transmembrane protein with tyrosine kinase activity. These proteins are highly expressed in many malignant conditions, including prostate cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, kidney cancer, ovarian cancer, and lung cancer. Specific anti-EGFR or anti-HER2 mAbs can block the binding of EGFR or HER2 to their ligands, and successively block the proliferation of tumors and send a signal pathway to inhibit tumor growth and directly or indirectly cause tumor cells; weekly. See, for example, C / z > z. Ca / zcer S · 1720-30 (2002); Brodowicz et al. 5r_ Qmcerii: 1764-70 (2001); Crombet-Ramos et al., / J. Cancer 101: 567 -75 (2002); Herbst et al., Expert Opin · Biol, Ther · L ·, Ί \ 9-32 (2QQ \). In yet another embodiment, the tumor killer of the chimeric protein is an antibody that binds to a tumor-specific or tumor-associated antigen that causes cell death. For example, p230 is a protein specifically expressed in human liver cancer, breast cancer, and melanoma cells. Its name is derived from the apparently specific 230KD band, which uses mAb SM5-1 and appears in Western blotting. See U.S. 89753-18-200427698 patent application serial number: 09 / 915,746. P230 is so specific that it can be used as a target gene in tumor immunotherapy. Cell death can be caused by binding P230 to its ligand or antibody. Some anti-SM5-1 antibody systems are described in Example 3. In a specific embodiment, the anti-system is an SM5-1 antibody, and the serial number of the co-pending application filed on November 26, 2003 (lawyer case directory number 54906-2000100; title: Linked to cancer) SM5-1 specific antibody and its use), which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. The humanized anti-SM5-1 antibody described herein is referred to as ReSM5-l in this co-pending application. In a specific embodiment, the tumoricidal agent is an antibody or a biologically active fragment thereof. As used herein, the term “ff antibody” refers to a complete antibody, a Fab fragment, a Fab ′ fragment, an F (aV) 2 fragment, an Fv fragment, a diabody, a single chain antibody, and a multispecific antibody formed from an antibody fragment. Molecules retain substantially all of their desired biological activity. Antibodies that can be used in the methods and compositions can be produced in cell cultures, in phages, or in a variety of animals including, but not limited to, cows, rabbits, goats, mice, rats, rats, cheeks, Guinea pig, sheep, dog, cat, monkey, chimpanzee, macaque. Therefore, the anti-systems useful in this method are mammalian antibodies. Plutonium technology can be used to isolate the original antibody or produce a variant with altered specificity or antibody avidity characteristics. This technique is routine and known in the art. In a specific embodiment, the resistance system is made by recombination methods known in the art. For example, recombinant antibodies can be made by transfecting a host cell with a vector comprising a DNA sequence encoding the antibody. One or more vectors can be used to sequentially transfer the DNA expressing at least one VL and one 89753-19-200427698 VH region in a host cell. Examples of recombinant methods of antibody production and manufacturing include Delves, antibody manufacturing: basic techniques (Wiley, 1997); Shephard et al., Monoclonal antibodies (Oxford University Press, 2000); and Goding, monoclonal antibodies · Principles And Practice (University Press, 1993). Antibodies that can be used in this method can be modified by recombinant methods to increase the greater efficacy of the antibody in the desired function of the vehicle. It is also intended to cover that antibodies can be modified by substitution using recombinant methods. These substitutions are typically conservative substitutions. For example, at least one amino acid in the constant region of an antibody may be replaced with a different residue. See, for example, U.S. Patent 5,624,821, U.S. Patent 6,194,551, Application No. WO 9958572; and Angal et al., Mo /, 30: 105-08 (1993). Modifications on amino acids include deletion, addition, and substitution of amino acids. In some cases, such changes are performed to reduce unwanted activity, such as complement-dependent cytotoxicity. The antibody may be a humanized antibody. The term `` humanized antibody '' as used herein refers to an antibody in which the amino acid sequence in the non-antigen-binding region has been changed so that the antibody more closely resembles a human antibody, but still retains it Primitive antigen specificity. Typically, the variable region is a species, such as an old mouse, and the constant region is of human origin. The antibody may be a chimeric antibody. As used herein, the term `` chimeric antibody '' refers to an antibody in which the amino acid sequence has been altered so that the antibody contains sequences from more than one mammal, but still retains the original antigenic specificity The term "single-chain variable fragment (ScFv)" as used herein refers to a genetically engineered antibody that includes an immunoglobulin variable heavy chain (VH) and a light chain (VL). Sex peptides are linked together 0 89753 -20- 200427698 The antibodies of the methods and compositions of the present invention are preferably single strains. The term "π monoclonal antibody '" as used herein refers to a single antibody made from a single B cell. The antibody may be a human antibody. The term "human antibody" as used herein refers to an antibody in which substantially the entire sequence of light and heavy chain sequences, including the complementarity determining regions (CDRs), is derived from a human gene. In a specific embodiment, the 'human monoclonal antibody system uses trioma virus technology, human cell technology (see' e.g., Kozbor et al., ⑽2 ^ also less 4; 72 (1983), EBV transformation technology (see 'e.g., Cole Et al., Monoclonal Antibody and Cancer Therapy 77_96 (1985)) or using phage display (see, for example, 222/581: 581 (1991)). In a particular embodiment, the human anti-system Produced in transgenic mice. Techniques for making such partially-to-complete human antibodies are known in the art, and any such technique can be used. According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the complete human antibody sequence is Manufactured in transgenic mice designed to express human heavy and light chain antibody genes. An example of the preparation of transgenic mice that produce human antibodies can be found in application number WO 02/43478. Obtained from transgenic mice that produce the desired antibodies B cells can then be fused to produce hybridoma cell lines for continuous production of antibodies. See, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 5,569,825; 5,625,126; 5,633,425; 5,661,016; and 5,5 45,806; and Jakobovits, j (iv · 31 · · 33_42 (1998); Green et al., J. Me < i · 188 · · 483-495 (1998). In a specific embodiment, the resistance provided herein The system inhibits the proliferation of target tumor cells. Compared to the cell proliferation in the absence of antibodies or the presence of non-binding antibodies, if the anti-system inhibits cell proliferation, the antibody is inhibitory to the proliferative line. Proliferation can be quantified using any appropriate method. Typical Above, the proliferative system 89753 -21-200427698 was measured in vitro by evaluating the incorporation of radiolabeled nucleotides into DNA (eg 3H-thymidine). In a specific embodiment, the proliferative system emits light through ATP Measured, for example, CellTiter-GloTM Luminescent Cell Viability Assay (Promega). Therefore, antibodies can be specific or targeted for any molecule that modulates cell viability or cell growth. In a specific embodiment, anti- The system is selected from the group consisting of anti-p230 antibodies, anti-CD20 antibodies, anti-Her2 antibodies, anti-Her3 antibodies, anti-Her4 antibodies, anti-EGFR antibodies or biologically active fragments thereof. Specific examples of such antibodies are included in In the example paragraphs below, and as disclosed, for example, in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,677,171; 6,399,061; 6,458,356; 6,455,043; and 5,705,157. Chimerics comprising a 'Flt3 ligand or a biologically active fragment thereof, and a tumor killer Proteins can be linked by any suitable link. For example, the Flt3 ligand can be linked to a tumoricidal agent via a peptidyl linker, a cleavable linker, or the like. In a particular embodiment, the linker peptide is (Gly4Ser) 3. The chimeric proteins of the compositions and methods herein may include Flt3 ligands and a tumoricidal agent linked in any order. In a specific embodiment, the Flt3 coordination system is located at the N-terminus of the chimeric protein. In another embodiment, the Flt3 coordination system is located at the C-terminus of the chimeric protein. The chimeric protein may further include a peptidyl fragment at its C-terminus, which includes a peptidyl tag. Any appropriate marking can be used. For example, this tag may be a FLAG, HA, HA1, c-Myc, 6-His, AU1, EE, T7, 4A6, ε, B, gE, and Tyl tags (see Table 2). This tag can be used for purification of chimeric proteins. 89753 -22- 200427698 Table 2.

The ability to replicate in the desired host cell: ' often conferred by a complex source ' and a selection gene by which the transformant is identified ' V may additionally be incorporated into a performance vector. In addition, a sequence encoding a suitable message peptide that does not naturally bind to a Flt-3 ligand or a tumoricidal agent can be incorporated into a performance vector. For example, the DNA sequence for the message peptide (secretion leader) can be fused within the framework to the sequence used for the coding of the chimeric protein, so that this sequence is first translated into a fusion protein containing the message peptide. A functional message peptide in the intended host cell will enhance the extracellular secretion of the chimeric polypeptide. The message peptide can split the apposition of the polypeptide when the chimeric polypeptide is secreted from the cell. Mammalian or insect host cell culture systems can also be used to express recombinant chimeric polypeptides. The baculovirus system used to produce heterologous proteins in insect cells was reviewed by Luckow and Summers in Lan # / Jiehengshi · 47 (1988). Established cell lines of mammalian origin can also be used. Examples of suitable mammalian host cell lines include the COS-7 cell line of monkey kidney cells (ATCCCRL 1651) (Gluzman et al., Ce //, 22: 175, 1981), L cells, C127 -25- 89753 200427698 cells, 3T3 cells (ATCC CCL 163), Chinese cheeky rat ovary (CHO) cells, HeLa cells and BHK (ATCC CRL 10) cell lines, and CV-1 / EBNA-1 cell lines, derived from the African green monkey kidney cell line CVI (ATCC CCL 70), as described by McMahan et al. J. 1Q: 2821, 1991), and the NSO cell line (Galfre et al., Methods Enzymol. 71 ·· 3-46 (1981)). The mammalian host cell expression vector's transcription and translation control sequence can be excised from the viral genome. Common promoter sequences and enhancer sequences are derived from polyoma virus, adenovirus 2, simian virus 40 (SV40), and human cytomegalovirus. DNA sequences derived from the SV40 virus genome, such as SV40 origin, early and late promoters: enhancers, splices, and polyadenylation sites. Additional genetic building blocks can be provided by β to express structural gene sequences in mammalian host cells . Viral early and late promoter lines are particularly useful because both are readily available as fragments from the viral genome and may also contain replicated viral sources. See, for example, Fiers et al. 273: 113 (1978). Smaller or larger SV40 fragments can also be used, provided that they contain a sequence of approximately 250 bp, extending from the HindIII position, towards the Bgll position, and the SV40 virus source at the replicated position. An example expression vector for use in mammalian host cells can be constructed as disclosed by Okayama and Berg, Mo / _ & // Wan / 〇 /. 3: 280 (1983). A useful system for the stable expression of mammalian cDNA in breast epithelial cells of C127 mice can be constructed substantially as described in Cosman et al. (Shi / · / mmwzo / · 23: 935, 1986). A useful high performance vector PMLSVN1 / N4, described by Cosman et al., Nature 312 ... 768, 1984, has been registered as ATCC 39890. Other useful mammalian expression vectors are described in EP-A-0367566 and U.S. Patent Application 89753 -26- 200427698 No. 07 / 701,415, both of which are incorporated herein by reference. These vectors can be derived from retroviruses. Instead of the natural message sequence, a different message sequence can be added, such as the message sequence described in US Pat. No. 4,965,195 for IL-7; described in Cosman et al., 312 ... 768 (1984) for IL-2 The body's message sequence; the IL-4 message peptide described in EP 367,566; the type IIL-I receptor message peptide described in US Patent 4,968,607; and the type IIIL-1 receptor message peptide described in EP 460,846. A method of making a chimeric protein is also intended to be encompassed by growing a recombinant cell containing a nucleic acid encoded by a chimeric protein, the chimeric protein comprising a Flt3 ligand or a biologically active fragment thereof and a tumoricidal agent, such that Several of the encoded chimeric proteins were expressed by the cells, and the expressed chimeric proteins were recovered. In a specific embodiment, the method further comprises isolating and / or purifying the recovered chimeric protein. The products of this method are further intended to be included. This chimeric protein can be purified to substantial homogeneity, and when analyzed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), it is shown by a single protein mass spectrum band. For example, when an expression system that secretes recombinant proteins is used, the culture medium can be concentrated first and a commercially available protein concentration filter such as an Amicon or Millipore Pellicon ultrafiltration unit can be used. After this concentration step, the concentrate can be applied to a purification matrix, such as a gel filtration medium. Alternatively, an anion exchange resin such as a matrix or substrate having a pendant diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) group can be used. The matrix may be acrylamide, agarose, dextran, cellulose or other types commonly used for protein purification. Alternatively, a cation exchange step can be used. Suitable cation exchangers include a variety of insoluble matrices, including sulfopropyl or carboxymethyl. The sulfopropyl group is preferably 89753-27-200427698. Finally, one or more reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) steps using a hydrophobic RP-HPLC medium (such as silicone with pendant methyl or other aliphatic groups) can be used for further purification合 protein. Some or all of the foregoing purification steps, in various combinations, are conventional and can be employed to provide a substantially homogeneous recombinant protein. An affinity column containing the ligand-binding functional site of the flt3 receptor can be used to purify the expressed affinity polypeptide with affinity. The postpeptide can be removed from the affinity column using conventional techniques, such as in a high-salt dissolution buffer and then dialyzed into a lower-salt buffer for use, or by changing the pH or other ingredients, depending on the used Depending on the affinity matrix. Alternatively, the affinity column may contain an antibody that will bind FL. A transformed yeast host cell can also be used to express the chimeric protein as a secreted polypeptide to simplify purification. Secreted recombinant polypeptides obtained from yeast host cell fermentation can be purified by methods similar to those disclosed by Urdal et al. (J. Chromatog. 296: 171, 1984). Recombinant cells comprising nucleic acids are also provided. In a specific embodiment, the cell is a eukaryotic cell. In a particular embodiment, the cells are CHO, COS or NSO cells. The chimeric protein and the nucleic acid encoding the chimeric protein can be prepared by any appropriate method, such as chemical synthesis, recombinant production, or a combination thereof. See, for example, Ausubel et al., A current proposal in molecular biology, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (2.0), and Sambrook et al., Molecular Asexual Reproduction: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press (1989). In one example method, a nucleic acid that encodes a chimeric protein is prepared using regression PCR technology, such as disclosed in 89753-28-200427698 in P__u et al., Hulun ~ guan: Ka Si (i " 2). A pharmaceutical composition is intended to be included, which comprises a chimeric protein comprising a ligand or a biologically active fragment thereof and a proteinaceous or skin-based tumor killer: and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient. For use, the Benfarm H composition 'can therefore be formulated in a customary manner using one or more physiologically acceptable carriers, including formulations and adjuvants, which facilitate the processing of the active compounds into pharmaceuticals On the preparation. These medical musical compositions can be manufactured in a manner known per se, for example, by conventional mixing, dissolving, M, sugar-coated tablet manufacturing, grinding, emulsifying, coating, capturing or drying. The appropriate formulation depends on the chosen route of administration. t When the drug is administered in liquid form, add a liquid carrier, such as water, petroleum, oils of animal or plant origin, such as Huafeng Oil Depot β-Metaplasty / from rough oil, soybean oil or sesame oil, or synthetic oils. The liquid form 4 of the pharmaceutical composition may further contain physiological salt water, dextrose or other sugar solutions' or glycols, such as ethylene glycol, propyl alcohol, or polyethylene glycol. When administered in liquid form, the pharmaceutical composition contains ⑽ to 90% by weight of the protein of the present invention, and preferably about 1 to about 28% of the protein of the present invention. In another aspect, the provided in this article is a combination of:) Effectively < a chimeric protein comprising a Flt3 ligand and a proteinaceous or peptide-based tumoricidal agent; and b) an effective amount of anti- Tumor agent. In a specific embodiment, the neoplastic agent is an agent that inhibits the growth of melanoma, breast cancer or hepatocellular carcinoma. Growth inhibition can occur by causing arrest or cell death in tumor cells. Exemplary anti-neoplastic agents include cytokines, ligands, anti-thorium, radionuclides, and chemotherapeutic agents.

An amount that prevents or improves a tumor or tumor-associated disease state or tumor progression. A therapeutically effective dose is a compound that is sufficient to cause improvement in symptoms such as treatment, epidemic, prevention or amelioration of associated medical symptoms, and to increase the rate of treatment, healing, prevention or amelioration of such symptoms. When applied to an individual active ingredient administered separately, a therapeutically effective dose refers to that individual ingredient. When applied to a combination, a therapeutically effective dose refers to the combined amount of active ingredients that will cause a therapeutic effect, whether combined, continuously or simultaneously. c. A method using a chimeric protein comprising a Flt3 ligand and a tumoricidal agent. On the other hand, provided herein is a method that causes the dying of the intercellular cells of the aspartase-3 in the cell. This method This includes administering an effective amount of a chimeric protein comprising a Flt3 ligand and a proteinaceous or moonyl tumor killer to a cell in need or desire for such slander. In a specific embodiment, the cell is a mammalian cell. In a particular embodiment, the cells are mammalian neoplasm cells. In a specific embodiment, the cell line is contained in a mammal. The activation of caspase plays an important role in the withering changes of cells in the cell 89753 -31-200427698. See, for example, Budihardjo et al., D / w ·. Price 15: 269-90 (1999). The caspase family is a family of cysteine proteases, with a high degree of specificity, which means that for the division after aspartic acid and the recognition sequence of at least four amino acids, the absolute position of the division is the N-terminus. Requirements. See, for example, Grutter, Cwrr. Qp. So 10: 649-55 (2000). Caspase 3, also known as CPP32, YAMA, and apapain, is specific to the division of WEHD. It is used to split various substrates, such as lamins, PARP, DFF, and other substrates, and it is the downstream or actuator caspase. Existing in the cell as an inactive zymogen, caspase 3 is activated after being cleaved by caspase 9 and Apaf-1 (upstream caspase). This upstream caspase It is activated after the withering of extracellular cells due to binding of a ligand such as Fas ligand, TNF or TRAIL to its appropriate receptor. Caspase activation can be easily measured using methods known in the art. For examples, see, for example, Cell Withering: A Practical Approach (Studzinski, 1999). Caspase 3 is a member of the family of cysteine proteases that are important in cell death or programmed cell death. See, for example, Cmtter, CWr. Qpin. ISVrwcii / ra / Inst. 6 > IQ: 649-55 (2000); Budihardjo et al. Caspase 3 is present in the cell as a zymogen and is activated by proteolysis, typically by an "initiator" caspase, such as caspase-8, -9 or 10 . This active caspase-3 then splits other proteins, mainly involving the DNA repair process or the structural components of the cytoskeleton or nuclear skeleton, which contains the position of the recognition sequence DEVD after aspartic acid. Detection of caspase 3 activation is routine and is known in 89753 -32- 200427698 skills. For example, U.S. patents: 6,342,611; 6,391,575, 6,335,429 and U.S. patents, U.S. profit-seeking application serial number 20030186214.

Immune action 89753 -41-200427698 Preface "Safety by searching for immune effects on the general health of immunized animals (weight change, fever, appetite behavior, etc.) and searching for pathological changes during necropsy And measured. After initial testing in animals, cancer can be tested. Conventional methods are used to assess the patient's immune response to measure the efficiency of vaccines. See, for example, current proposals for immunology (latest version). Examples in which the T-lymphocytes can be isolated include, but are not limited to, peripheral blood, field cell lymphocytes (PBL), lymph nodes or tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL). Such lymphocytes can be isolated from the individual to be treated or obtained from a supplier, and cultured in vitro by methods known in the art. See, for example, Kawakami Y. et al., / M / 〇 / said: μ5 · (1989). Lymphocytes can be cultured in culture using techniques known in the art. Viability was assessed by cone blue dye exclusion testing. Parameters that can be evaluated to determine the efficacy of these sensitized D lymphocytes include, but are not limited to, the production of immune cells or tumor regression in the mammal being treated. Use customary methods to evaluate these parameters. Such methods include cytotoxicity testing, mixed lymphocyte response, and cytokine production testing. Any conventional tumor pattern can be used to provide a test pattern for chimeric proteins. Tumor mouse recipients can be of any appropriate strain. The tumor may be allogeneic, allogeneic, or heterologous to the tumor. Recipients may be immune active or immune compromised in one or more immune-related functions, including, but not limited to, dish / dish, scid, and beige mice. In a specific embodiment, the recipient is a transgenic mouse. In a particular embodiment, the mouse is a Balb / c or C57BL / 6 mouse. Any suitable tumor source can be used in animal model experiments, including established cell lines, dissociated cells obtained from new tumor samples, and short-term 89753 -42- 200427698 tumor cell lines. Exemplary tumor cell lines include Renca cells, B16 melanoma cells, Hepal cells, BT-474 cells, Raji cells, QYC cells, D2F2 cells, 4T1 cells, and A20 cells. In at least one administration, the dosage of the chimeric protein ranges from 1 microgram / mouse to 1 mg / mouse. Antibodies can be administered by any appropriate route. In a specific embodiment, the dose of antibody is 100 micrograms / mouse twice a week. In a specific embodiment, the tumor is injected subcutaneously on day 0, and the volume of the primary tumor is measured at a specified time point using a caliper. Any appropriate control protein can be used. In one example, the control antibody is a purified Igh isotype control antibody that has been raised against the hapten dinitrophenyl. The broad scope of the present invention is best understood with reference to the following examples, which are not intended to limit the invention to specific embodiments. [Embodiments] D. Examples Example 1 The human Flt3 ligand extracellular region (hFLex) cDNA is completely synthesized: Since the Flt3 ligand is a type I transmembrane protein, the extracellular region is at the N-terminus and the N-terminus of FL The modification may adversely affect its biological activity. Therefore, we adopted a method for constructing tetravalent biospecific antibodies (see Figure 1A). See Column et al., Institute of Research 15 · 159-163 (1997). Typically, a tetravalent bispecific antibody system is constructed by fusing the DNA encoded by a single-chain antibody to the C-terminus of an antibody with a different specificity. In order to obtain a bifunctional fusion protein with high biological activity, our system has a fusion protein with FLex at the N-terminus and an antibody molecule at the C-terminus (see 89753 -43- 200427698 Figure 1B). First, this FLex gene was fused to the 5 'end of the human IgG1 cDNA (hinge plus CH2 plus CH3) to generate a FLex-Ig fusion gene. This hFLex-Ig fusion gene was then fused to the 5 'end of the single-chain antibody gene to generate a F! Ex-Ig-scFv fusion gene. / LFZex cDAM combination ... The cDNA sequence of the human FLt3 ligand gene, the gene bank database has the acceptance number U03858. Nucleic acids 84 to 161 encode the message peptide of the FLt3 ligand, and nucleotides 162 to 629 encode the extracellular region of the Flt3 ligand. Therefore, the size of the gene encoding both the message peptide of the Flt3 ligand and the extracellular region was 546 bp. The FLex gene was synthesized as described in Prodromou C et al., Protein Eng. 5 (8): 827-829. In short, the FLex cDNA was divided into 10 DNA fragments of about 75 bp. These fragments were designed using the following criteria: (1) each fragment overlaps with an adjacent fragment at a length of 20bp; (2) the size of the final fragment can be shorter than 75bp; and (3) the antisense strand is selected as the last Primers, and meaningful strands were selected as primers for all other fragments. The primers were then synthesized commercially (Shengong Biotechnology (Shanghai, China)). PCR was performed in a 50 microliter volume containing 85 nM of each primer, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 200 mM dNTP, and 2.5 units of PfUDNA polymerase. The proposed PCR cycle is: preculture (94 ° C, 5 minutes); 30 cycles of denaturation (94 ° C, 1 minute), tempering (56 ° C, 1 minute), and extension at 72 ° C. This extension time varies depending on the number of primers, where time is calculated using the following equation: Extension time (seconds) = number of primers X 6 (seconds)). This last extension was at 72 ° C for 5 minutes. The PCR reaction products were separated on a 1% agarose gel. The correct DNA fragment was 89753 -44- 200427698, which was gel purified and asexually propagated to the pGEM-T vector (Promega), and its sequence was confirmed. See Figure 2 (sequence identification codes: 1 and 2). This clonal breeding line is denoted as pGEM-T / hFlex. Example 2 Recognition of asexual reproduction of the constant region of human IgGl The natural human IgGl cDNA of 1416 bp encodes a 471 amino acid and a translation termination code. The constant region of IgGl was reproduced asexually by RT-PCR using human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) by Ficoll-Hypaque density gradient centrifugation, and isolated from liver lipids of healthy volunteers. RNA was isolated from PBMC using TRIzol reagent (Gibco BRL). The cDNA of the IgG1 Fc fragment was obtained by single-step RT-PCR (Qiagen). The primers for RT-PCR are as follows: Fc is meaningful, 5'-gca etc gag ttt tac ccg gag aca ggg aga g-3 '; Fc is negative, 5'-gag ccc aaa tet tgt gac aaa ac-3'. RT-PCR products were separated on an agarose gel. The correct DNA fragment was gel-purified and asexually propagated to the pGEM-T carrier (Promega), and its sequence was confirmed. This clonal breeding line is represented as pGEM-T / IgFc. Example 3 Construction of SM5-1 chimeric antibody and humanized antibody L Asexual reproduction of SM5-1 heavy and light chain variable region genes in mice. RNA was isolated from SM5 using TRIzol reagent (Gibco BRL, Grand Island, NY). -1 (IgGl, / c) hybridoma cells (stored in ATCC with ATCC designated number HB-12588). The SM5-1 heavy and light variable region cDNA line uses the 5 'RACE system (Gibco BRL, Gaithersburg, MD), and asexually propagates from hybridoma cells according to the manufacturing instructions. The aggregated PCR products were analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis (Figure 5). About 590bp 89753-45-200427698 specific heavy chain PCR fragment and about 530bp light chain fragment were individually purified by gel and cloned into pGEM-T vector (Promega, Madison, WI) for sequential determination. The DNA sequences of the heavy (SM, VH) and light (SM, VL) variable regions are individually sequence identifiers: 7 (Figure 6) and sequence identifiers: 9 (Figure 7). 2. The four vectors used in combination or the two vectors pAH4604 and PAG4622 were kindly provided by Professor SL Morrison (Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, UCLA). See Coloma et al., 152: 89 (1992). Using the PCR method, EcoRV and Xbal positions were added to the 5 'terminus of the heavy chain variable region gene (VH), and Nhel positions were added to the 3f terminus. The PCR product was propagated asexually into the pGEM-T vector, and its sequence was confirmed. VH was excised by digestion with EcoRV and Nhel, and inserted into the EcoRV / Nhel position of the pAH4604 vector containing human r-1 constant region gene (CH). The resulting pAH4604-VH carrier system was split with Xbal and BamHI 'and asexually propagated the 3.3 kb fragment containing the post-combined rodent / human anti-body chain gene to the PDR vector to generate the chimeric heavy chain expression vector pDR-SMVHCH. The nucleotide and inferred amino acid sequence of the SM5-1 chimeric heavy chain (chSMVHCH) is shown in the sequence identification codes: 11 and 12 (Figure 8). Human / c-chain constant cDNA (CL) was obtained as a 0.3 kb PCR product derived from pAG4622. The pAG4622 line was kindly provided by Professor S. L. Morrison (Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, UCLA). The light chain variable region gene of (VL) SM5-1 was fused to the 5 'end of CL by an overlapping PCR method. The resulting chimeric light chain gene (VLCL) contains a Hindlll position upstream of the start codon and an EcoRI position downstream of the stop codon, and then the chimeric light chain is propagated asexually to the pGEM-T vector gene, and the sequence confirm. The VLCL gene was excised by digestion with Hindlll and EcoRI, and ligated into a pDR vector to generate a chimeric light chain expression vector 89753 -46- 200427698 pDR-SMVLCL. The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of the SM5-1 chimeric light chain (chSMVLCL) are shown in the sequence identification codes: 13 and 14 (Figure 9). The expression vectors pDR-SMVHCH and pDR-SMVLCL are shown in Fig. 10 and Fig. 11. 3. We must do everything we can. Choose the VH of the human antibody KOL as the backbone of the humanized heavy chain, and choose the VL of the human Bence-Jones protein REI as the humanized light chain. The light and heavy variable region genes of humanized antibodies were synthesized using the PCR method described in Example 1. The light and heavy chain expression vectors for humanized antibodies are constructed in the same manner as the chimeric antibodies described above. First, three CDRs from the SM5-1 light or heavy chain were directly grafted to the human antibody light or backbone region to generate a humanized recombination gene. Humanized VL and VH each propagate asexually to the expression vector, and then briefly co-express in COS cells. Transfected COS cells will produce humanized SM5-1 Ab. Humanized antibodies in the supernatant of COS cell cultures were quantified by ELISA, and the binding system of the antibodies to melanoma cells was determined by flow cell count analysis. Antigen-binding activity testing revealed that this antibody binds poorly to human hepatoma cell QYC, which indicates that some human FR residues must be altered to restore full binding activity. Important FR residues that may have an influence on binding activity are analyzed and back mutation detection is performed. A humanized anti-system showing the same antigen-binding activity as the unhumanized SM5-1 was obtained, and was called nhuSM'f. In competitive binding assays, huSM5-l antibodies show comparable antibody avidity, such as mouse SM5-1 antibody or chimeric SM5-1 antibody. The light and heavy chain expression vectors are represented as pDR-huSMVHCH and pDR-huSMVECL. The sequence of nucleotides and amino acids in the huSM's heavy and light variable regions are shown individually in sequence identification codes: 15 and 16 (Figure 12) and sequence identification codes: 17 and 18 (Figure 13). The sequence of nucleotides and amino acids of the heavy and light chains of huSM is 89753 -47- 200427698, which are shown individually in sequence identifiers: 19 and 20 (Figure 14) and sequence identifiers: 21 and 22 (Figure 15). 4. Table collections of the necessary techniques for ceremonies · Keep CHOdhfif cells in complete DMEM medium containing glycine, hypoxanthine, and thymidine (GHT) before transferring infection. Lipofectamine 2000 reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) was used to co-transfect appropriate light and heavy expression vectors into CHOdhfr- cells according to the manufacturing instructions. Transfected cells were then selected in DMEM medium without GHT and with a stepwise increase in MTX content up to 1.0. Select resistant clones and expand them for further analysis.

Example 10 In vivo antitumor activity of chSM / FL and huSM / FL The proteins used in these experiments include: SM5-1 chimeric antibody (chSM); SM5-1 humanized antibody (huSM); chSM / FL double Functional fusion protein; huSM / FL bifunctional fusion protein; anti-CD3 chimeric antibody-FL fusion protein (chCD3 / FL); anti-CD3 humanized antibody-FL fusion protein (huCD3 / FL). Female C57BL / 6 mice were injected subcutaneously with B16, Hepal-6, B16p230 or hepap230 tumor cells. When the tumors reached a diameter of 0.5 cm, the mice were randomly divided into seven groups, each with ten mice. Six groups of mice were injected intravenously with chCD3 / FL, huCD3 / FL, chSM, huSM, chSM / FL, or huSM / FL at a dose of 4 mg / kg / week for 6 weeks. The group of mice injected intravenously with PBS was the negative control group. Tumors were found to degenerate after treatment. The experimental results (shown in Table 3) show that chSM, huSM, chSM / FL, and huSM / FL are effective in causing tumor regression of the p230 antigen. The FL fusion protein line significantly enhances the antitumor activity of chSM or huSM antibodies. Table 3.

Female C57BL / 6 mice were injected subcutaneously with B16p230 or hepap230 tumor cells. When the tumors reached a diameter of 0.5 cm, the mice were randomly divided into seven groups with 8 mice each. Six groups of mice were injected intravenously with chSM, huSM, chSM combined with FL, and F; huSM, chSM / FL, or huSM / FL combined with L at a dose of 4 mg / kg / week for 6 weeks. The group of mice injected intravenously with PBS was the negative control group. Tumors were found to degenerate after treatment. The experimental results (shown in Table 4) show that the administration of FL chSM (or huSM), compared to chSM (or huSM) alone, exhibited antitumor activity. The bifunctional fusion protein chSM (or huSM) showed the strongest antitumor activity in this study. Table 4. Antitumor activity of bifunctional fusion proteins _ Treatment of tumor regression The tumor neoplasms from the second challenge did not exist chSM 5/10, 5/10, 6/10 0/10 huSM 4/10, 5/10, 4/10 0/10 chSM + FL 6/10, 6/10, 8/10 6/10 huSM + FL 7/10, 5/10, 6/10 6/10 chSM / FL 10/10, 8/10 , 10/10 28/30 huSM / FL 10/10, 10/10, 10/10 30/30 In order to determine whether the tumor degradation caused by the fusion protein will cause the generation of an active antitumor immune response, mice (such as Those who received the fusion 89753-69-200427698 protein by intravenous method), using maternal tumor cells, such as B16p230 or hepap230 cells, were inoculated again and stimulated subcutaneously. Tumor regression was found after vaccination. The results (shown in Table 5) show that chSM or huSM do not cause an active antitumor immune response. However, chSM / FL and huSM / FL will blame the active antitumor immune response to resist the maternal tumor, and the tumor neoplasm from the second challenge of tumor cells will not exist. Table 5. Treatment of tumor neoplasms from the second challenge by the presence of an active anti-tumor immune response cell line with a bifunctional fusion protein. B16 Hepal-6 B16 / p230 chSM / FL 0/6 5/6 JB16 / p230 huSM / FL 0/6 5/5 Hepal-6 / p230 chSM / FL 5/5 0/5 Hepal-6 / p230 huSM / FL 5/5 1/5 To determine the specificity of the anti-tumor immune response found in the above experiments Therefore, mice with B16p230 tumors that have been treated with the fusion protein and have been degraded are stimulated with B16 or hepal-6 tumor cells. Mice bearing hepap230 tumors that had degenerated after treatment with the fusion protein were again challenged subcutaneously with Hepal-6 or B16. Tumors were found to degenerate after treatment. The results (shown in Table 5) show that B16 tumors were excluded in mice in which B16p230 tumor degradation had been induced, but hepal-6 tumors grew progressively in mice in which B16p230 tumor degradation had been induced. . In other experiments, hepal-6 tumors were ruled out in mice in which hepap230 tumor regression had been induced, but B16 tumors grew progressively. These results confirm that the antitumor immune response caused by the bifunctional fusion protein is specific for the tumors that were given during this challenge 89753 -70- 200427698. Example 12

The rats were injected intravenously with FL, anti-her2 mAb, and anti-her2 mAb or huSM / FL in combination with FL at 4 mg / kg / week. At the dose, for 6 consecutive weeks, the group of mice injected intravenously with PBS was the control group. Continuous tumor growth was observed in all animals over 6 weeks. The experimental results (shown in Table 6) show that the bifunctional fusion protein her2 / FL has the ability to inhibit the growth of D2F2 / E2 or 4Tlher2, which is equivalent to anti-her2 mAb. Mice bearing D2F2 / E2 or 4Tlher2 tumors that had degenerated after treatment with fusion protein or mAb were again subcutaneously stimulated with maternal tumor cells. Continuous tumor growth was observed in all animals over 6 weeks. The results (shown in Table 6) show that anti-her2 mAb does not effectively induce an active immune response. However, her2 / FL defies an active immune response to fight maternal tumors. 89753 -73-200427698 Table 6. Inhibition of tumor growth by bifunctional fusion proteins.

Mice bearing 4Tlher2 tumors that had degenerated after treatment with fusion protein were again challenged with D2F2 or 4T1 tumor cells. Continuous tumor growth was observed in all animals over 6 weeks. The results (shown in Table 6) show that D2F2 tumors were excluded from the mouse in which D2F2 / E2 tumors had been degraded, whereas 4T1 tumors grew progressively. In another experiment, 4T1 tumors were excluded in mice in which 4Tlher2 tumor regression had been induced, whereas D2F2 tumor lines grew progressively. These results confirm that the antitumor immune response caused by the bifunctional fusion protein is tumor-specific. 2. Active tumor immune response by CD20 / FL. The cell line A20 was obtained from ATC C. The cell line A20 / CD20 line was produced via transfection of the D2F2 cell line with the human CD20 gene. When measured by flow cell count analysis, the CD20 antigenic line appears to a high degree on the cell surface of A20 / CD20 cells. The A20 / CD20 tumor cell line develops subcutaneous tumors in Balb / c mice. 89753 -74- 200427698 A20 / CD20 tumor growth in mice was effectively inhibited by anti-CD20 mAb treatment. Female Balb / c mice were injected subcutaneously with 2 × 10 06 A20 / CD20 tumor cells. When the tumors reached a diameter of 0.5 cm, the mice were randomly divided into arrays with 8 mice each. Mice were injected intravenously with FL, anti-CD20 mAb, and anti-CD20 mAb or CD20 / FL in combination with FL at a dose of 4 mg / kg / week for 6 consecutive weeks. Mice injected intravenously with PBS were the negative control group. Continuous tumor growth was observed in all animals over 6 weeks. The experimental results (shown in Table 7) show that the bifunctional fusion protein CD20 / FL has the ability to inhibit the growth of A20 / CD20 tumors, which is equivalent to anti-CD20 mAb treatment. Mice bearing the 'A20 / CD20 tumor that had been degraded by treatment with a fusion protein or mAb were again subcutaneously challenged with maternal tumor cells. Continuous tumor growth was observed in all animals over 6 weeks. The results (shown in Table 7) show that anti-CD20 mAb does not induce an active antitumor immune response. However, CD20 / FL will blame an active immune response to combat maternal tumors. Table 7. Number of animals with tumor treated with active anti-tumor immune response induced by CD20 / FL.

Caused by Trail / FL Active tumor immune response · Knowledge, kwzdi you, available from Korea Cancer Institute. Female Balb / c mice were injected subcutaneously with Renca tumor cells. When the tumors reached a diameter of 0.5 cm, the mice were randomly divided into arrays with 8 mice each. Mice were injected intravenously with FL, Trail, and Trail or Trail / FL in combination with FL at a dose of 4 mg / kg / week for 6 consecutive weeks. The group of mice injected intravenously with PBS was the control group. Continuous tumor growth was observed in all animals over 6 weeks. The experimental results (shown in Table 8) show that the bifunctional fusion protein Trail / FL has the ability to inhibit Renca tumor growth, which is equivalent to Trail. Mice bearing Renca tumors that degenerate after treatment with fusion protein or Tmil were again subcutaneously challenged with maternal tumor cells. Continuous tumor growth was observed in all animals over 6 weeks. The results (shown in Table 8) show that Trail does not effectively induce an active immune response. However, Trail / FL will spit out an active immune response to fight maternal tumors. Table 8. Number of animals with tumor treated with active anti-tumor immune response induced by Tmil / FL.

Example 14: Immunohistochemical analysis of tumors To further illustrate the mechanism of SM / FL and hSM / FL fusion proteins, immunohistochemistry of tumors was performed on mice treated with fusion proteins. In these experiments, most tumor cell lines were killed after administration of chSM / FL and hSMM / FL fusion proteins. The tumor line is surrounded by a wide range of infiltrates of DC, NK, or other lymphocytes, showing that chSM / FL and huSM / FL fusion proteins will cause DC and NK cells to aggregate in tumor tissues and mediate or help kill tumor cells * 1. Vaccination and tumor growth. Materials used in these experiments include the Lipidamine 2000 Transformation Kit (Invitrogen); HepaP230 tumor cell line. Hepa / P230 cells were digested with 0.05% trypsin and 0.02% EDTA and adjusted to 2.7 x 107 cells / ml. Hepa / P230 cells were inoculated subcutaneously into C57BL / 6 mice with 200 microliters of tumor cell suspension. When the tumor reached a diameter of 0.5 cm, the rats were injected intravenously with chSM / FL at a dose of 4 mg / kg / week for 3 consecutive weeks. Continuous tumor growth was observed in all animals. Immunohistochemical analysis of tumor samples was performed after treatment. 2. Ke Shou, group iron permitting points # (HE Attack β / Immunohistochemical analysis by HE staining, performed using standard methods. In short, the tumor samples were fixed in 10% formalin for 24 hours, And embedded in paraffin. Then, 4-micron thick sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The results showed that FL alone did not significantly kill tumor cells. 89753 -77- 200427698 However, the killer cells found The degree will increase when SM5-1 chimeric or humanized Mb and FL are used together. At the same time, some infiltrates of lymphocytes containing DC, NK, T cells and B cells are found in and surround the tumor tissue It is worth noting that the SM / FL fusion protein will cause tumor cells to lyse in vivo and cause extensive infiltration of lymphocytes into the tumor mass, while the control fusion protein means (anti-CD3mAb / FL) No. This indicates that the SM / FL fusion protein has the ability to effectively cause DC, NK and other lymphocytes to aggregate at the tumor site in vivo. The results are shown in Table 9.

The fusion protein causes NK and DC cells to aggregate at the tumor site, and DC, NK, and other lymphocyte lines exert their antitumor activity. Example 15 In vivo biodistribution of fused I white matter To study the specific binding of chSM / FL or huMM / FL to tumor cells, the biodistribution characteristics of the fusion protein were examined. Mice bearing B16p230 tumors were individually intravenously injected with 1251_ identified SM, chSM / FL, huSM, and huSM / FL. After 48 hours, the selected organs were immediately removed and radioactivity was measured. The results (shown in Figure 56) show the biodistribution of chSM / FL and hSM / FL fusion proteins 89753 -79- 200427698, similar to the desired mAb chSM or humanized mAb huSM. The fusion protein all retains the specificity of its parent mAb and is highly concentrated at the tumor site. The biodistribution of mAbs and fusion proteins depends on their specificity, which is an important factor for clinical applications. This specific tissue distribution will reduce the amount of drug needed to achieve the desired effect; and reduce harm to non-standard tissues. In vivo distribution characteristics of her2 / FL, CD20 / FL, and TRAIL / FL fusion proteins were also examined. Mice bearing 4Tl / her2, A20 / 20, and Renca tumors were injected intravenously with 1251 / her2 / FL, CD20 / FL, TRAIL / FL, and huSM / FL. After 48 hours, the selected organs were immediately removed and radioactivity was measured. The results of the study (shown in Figure 57) show that her2 / FL, CD20 / FL, and TRAIL / FL fusion protein lines are localized at tumor locations, similar to chSM / FL and hSM / FL. Example 16 Inherited immunotherapy using tumor-specific lymphocytes HepaP230 or B16p230 cells were digested with 0.05% trypsin and 0.02% EDTA and adjusted to 2.7 x 107 cells / ml. Hepal-6 / P230 or B16 / P230 cells were subcutaneously inoculated into 200 μl tumor cell suspensions into C57BL / 6 mice. When the tumor reached a diameter of 0.5 cm, mice were injected intravenously with chSM / FL at a dose of 4 mg / kg / week for 3 consecutive weeks. Continuous tumor growth was observed in all animals. Mice that had been treated with the fusion protein chSM / FL or huSM / FL and in which tumor hepap230 or B16p230 had deteriorated were sacrificed, and the spleen was collected. Spleen cells were isolated and adjusted to 1.0 x 10 cells / ml. Then, innocent mice were injected with 5.0 × 10 07 spleen cells obtained from the mice. Hepap230 or B16p230 tumor regression had occurred in the mice described below, and they were individually challenged with hepap230 or B16p230 89753 -80- 200427698 tumors. Continuous tumor growth was observed in all animals over 6 weeks. The results (shown in Table 11) show that mice using spleen cells obtained from mice treated with the fusion protein chSM / FL or huSM / FL and in which tumors hepap230 or B16p230 had degenerated spleen cells were excluded from maternal tumors. Obtained from the non-fusion protein combination, that is, chSM, huSM, FL, chSM combined with FL or huSM combined with FL, the metastasis of spleen cells in treated mice failed to cause tumor exclusion in recipient mice. These results indicate that metastatic lymphocytes initiate a specific anti-tumor immune response, and that this specific immune response relies on DC and NK cells. Table 11.

Mice treated with the fusion protein her2 / FL, CD20 / FL or Trail / FL and in which tumors 4Ή / 1 ^ 2, A20 / 20 or Renca cells had degenerated were sacrificed, and the spleen was collected. Spleen cells were isolated and adjusted to 1.0 × 10 9 cells / mL. Then, innocent mice were injected with 5.0 x 107 spleen cells obtained from mice in which Tl / her2, A20 / 20, or Renca tumors had developed, followed by individual stimulation with 411/1 ^ 2, A20 / 20, or Renca tumors. Continuous tumor growth was observed in all animals over 6 weeks. The results (shown in No. 11) show that mice obtained from spleen cells treated with the fusion protein chSM / FL or huSM / FL and in which the spleen cells of the degenerate tumor hepap230 or B16p230 had developed were excluded from maternal tumors. The results (shown in Table 12) are consistent with chSM / FL and huSM / FL. It is shown that chSM / FL, huSM / FL, her2 / FL, CD20 / FL, and Trail / FL are activated by lymphocytes and mediate anti- Tumor activity. Table 12.
