`
`of the Invention
`
`:')./';~s invention relates to methods for the preparation and use of variant antibodies and
`ind~ application particularly in the fields of immunology and cancer diagnosis and therapy.
`'-
`
`~groynd of the Invention
`
`Naturally occurring antibodies (immunoglobulins) comprise two heavy chains linked
`
`together by disulfide bonds and two light chains, one light chain being linked to each of the
`heavy chains by disulfide bonds. Each heavy chain has at one end a variable domain (VH)
`.
`followed by a number of constant domains. Each light chain has a variable domain (VL) at one
`
`'
`
`end and a constant domain at its other end; the constant domain of the light chain is aligned
`with the first constant domain of the heavy chain, and the light chain variable domain is
`align•ed with the variable domain of the heavy chain. Particular amino acid residues are
`
`belie111ed to form an interface between the light and heavy chain variable domains, see e.g.
`Chotlhia eta/. , J . Mo/. Biol. 186:651-663 (1985); Novotny and Haber, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.
`
`USA 82:4592-4596 (1985).
`
`The constant domains are not involved directly in binding the antibody to an antigen,
`
`25
`
`but are involved in various effector functions, such as participation of the antibody in antibody-
`
`30
`
`depe1nd~nt cellular cvtotoxicity. The variable domains of each pair of light and heavy chains
`are involved directly in binding the antibody to the antigen. The do.mains of natural light and
`
`heav·~ chains have the same general structure, and each domain comprises four framework
`<FR) regio~s, whose sequences are somewhat conserved, connected by three hyper-variable
`or complementarity determining regions <CDRs) (see Kabat, E. A . et al. , Sequences of Proteins
`of lf!nmunological Interest, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, (1987)). The four
`
`framHwork regions largely adopt a P-sheet conformation and the CDRs form loops connecting,
`and in some cases forming part of, the P-sheet structure. The CD Rs in each chain are held in
`
`close proximity by the framework regions and, with the CDRs from the other chain, contribute
`
`18 of 1033
`
`BI Exhibit 1002
`
`
`
`•
`
`•
`
`to the formation of the antigen binding site.
`Widespread use has been made of monoclonal antibodies, particularly those derived

`from rodents including mice, however they are frequently antigenic in human clinical use. For
`
`example, a major limitation in the clinical use of rodent monoclonal antibodies is an
`
`anti-globulin response during therapy (Miller, R. A. eta/., 8/ood62:988·995 (1983); Schroff,
`
`R. W. et al. , Cancer Res. 45:879·885 (1985)).
`
`The art hes attempted to overcome this problem by constructing "chimeric" antibodies
`
`in which en animal antigen-binding variable domain is coupled to a human constant domain
`
`(Cabilly et al .• U.S. patent No. 4 ,816,567; Morrison, S. L. et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA
`81 :6851-6855 (1984); Boulianne, G. L. et al., Nature 312:643-646 (1984); Neuberger, M . S.
`
`et al., Nature 314:268-270 (1985)). The term "chimeric" antibody is used herein to describe
`
`a polypeptide comprising at least the antigen binding portion of an antibody molecule linked
`
`to at least part of another protein (typically an immunoglobulin constant domain).
`
`The isotype of the human constant domain may be selected to tailor the chimeric
`
`antibody
`for participation
`in antibody·dependent cellular cytotoxicity
`(ADCC> and
`complement-dependent cytotoxicity (see e.g. Bruggemann, M . et al., J . Exp. Med.
`166: 1 351 - 1361 ( 198 7); Riechmann, L. et al. , Nature 332:323-327 ( 1988); Love et al .•
`
`Methods in Enzymology 178:515-527 (1989); Bindon et al .. J . Exp. Med. 168:127-142
`
`(1988).
`
`20
`
`In the typical embodiment, such chimeric antibodies contain about one third rodent (or
`
`other non·human species) sequence and thus are capable of eliciting a significant anti-globulin
`
`response in humans. For example, in the case of the murine anti·CD3 antibody, OKT3, much
`
`of the resulting anti-globulin response is directed against the variable region rather than the
`constant region (Jeffers, G. J . et al., Transplantation 41 :572-578 (1986)).
`
`2S
`
`In a further effort to resolve the antigen binding functions of antibodies and to minimize
`
`the use of heterologous sequences in human antibodies, Winter and colleagues (Jones, P. T .
`et al., Nature 321 :522-525 (1986); Riechmann, L. et al., Nature 332:323-327 (1988);
`Verhoeven, M. et al. , Science 239: 1534-1536 {1988)) have substituted rodent CDRs or CDR
`
`sequences for the corresponding segments of a human antibody. As used herein, the term
`
`30
`
`"humanized" antibody is an embodiment of chimeric antibodies wherein substantially less than
`
`an intact human variable domain has been substituted by the corresponding sequence from a
`
`non-human species. In practice, humanized antibodies are typically human antibodies in which
`
`some CDR residues and possibly some FR residues are substituted by residues from analogous
`
`sites in rodent antibodies.

`
`The therapeutic promise of. this approach is supported by the clinical efficacy of a
`
`s
`
`humanized antibody specif ic for the CAMPATH-1 antigen with two non-Hodgkin lym phoma
`
`patients, one of whom had previously developed an anti-globulin response to the parental rat
`
`antibody (Riechmann, L. et al. , Nature 332:323-327 (1988); Hale, G. et al. , Lancet
`
`i :1394-1399 (1988)). A murine antibody to the interleukin 2 receptor has also recently been
`
`humanized (Queen, C. et al. , Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86: 10029-10033 (1989)) as a
`
`potential immunosuppressive reagent. Additional references related to humanization of
`antibodies include Co et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 88:2869-2873 ( 1991 >; Gorman et al.,
`Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 88:4181 -4185 (1991 ); Daugherty et al., Nucleic Acids Research

`19(9): 2471-2476 (1991 ); Brown et al. , Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 88 :2663-2667 (1991 );
`
`Junghans eta/. , Cancer Research 50:1495-1502 (1 990).
`
`In some cases, substituting CDRs from rodent antibodies for the human CDRs in human
`frameworks is sufficient to transfer high antigen binding aff inity (Jones, P. T . et al., Nature
`
`ts
`
`321 :522-525 ( 1986); Verhoeven, M . eta/. , Science 239:1534- 1536 (1988)), whereas in other
`cases "it has been necessary to additionally replace one (Riechmann, L. et al. , Nature
`332:323-327 (1988)) or several
`(Queen, C. et al. , Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA
`
`86: 10029- 10033 < 1989)) framework region (FR) residues. See also Co et al., supra.
`
`For a given antibody a small number of FR residues are anticipated to be important for
`
`antigen binding. Firstly for example, certain antibodies have been shown to contain a few FR
`
`20
`
`residues which directly contact antigen in crystal structures of antibody-antigen complexes
`
`(e.g., reviewed in Davies, D. R. et al., Ann. Rev. Biochem. 59:439-473 (1990)). Secondly,
`a number of FR residues have been proposed by Chothia, Lask and colleagues (Chothia, C. &
`Lask, A. M ., J . Mo/. Biol. 196:~01-917 (1987); Chothia, C. et al. , Nature 342:877-883
`
`(1989); Tramontano, A . et al., J . Mo/. Biol. 215: 175-1 $2 (1990)) as critically affecting the
`
`25
`
`conformation of particular CORs and thus their contribution to antigen binding. See also
`
`30
`
`Margolies et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 72: 2180-2184 ( 1975).
`
`It is also known that, in a few instances, an antibody variable domain (either VH or VL)
`
`may contain glycosylation sites, and that this glycosylation may improve or abolish antigen
`
`binding, Pluckthun, Biotechnology 9 : 545-51 (1991 ); Spiegelberg et al. , Biochemistry 9 :4217-
`4223 (1970); Wallie eta/., J. Exp. Med. 168:1099- 1109 (19881; Sox eta/., Proc. Natl. Acad.
`Sci. USA 66:975-982 (1970); Margni et al., Ann. Rev. lmmunol. 6 :535-554 (1988) .
`Ordinarily, however, glycosylation has no influence on the antigen-binding properties of an
`antibody, Pluckthun, supra, (1991 ).

`

`
`dimensional structure, and that amino acid substitutions can change the three-dimensional
`
`15
`
`structure of an antibody, Snow and Amzel, supra. It has previously been shown that the
`
`antigen binding affinity of a humanized antibody can be increased by mutagenesis based upon
`molecular modelling (Riechmann, L. et al. , Nature 332:323-327 ( 1988); Queen, C. et al., Proc.
`
`Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86: 10029-10033 (1989)).
`
`Humanizing an antibody with retention of high affinity for antigen and other desired
`
`20
`
`biological activities is at present difficult to achieve using currently available procedures.
`
`Methods are needed for rationalizing the selection of sites for substitution in preparing such
`
`antibodies and thereby increasing the efficiency of antibody humanization.
`
`The proto-oncogene HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) encodes a
`
`protein tyrosine kinase (p195HER2) that is related to and somewhat homologous to the human
