`
`currently in clinical development have been generated using
`this approach; one example is an anti—(transfon'ning growth
`factor ($2) mAb for the treatment of fibrotic disorders [6].
`Finally, transgenic animals have been generated [7,8] in which
`natural lg genes are deleted and replaced with the human
`loci necessary for the production of lgG/IgM. This in nine
`approach has been used to generate several mAbs, including
`ABX-EGF (Abgenix Corp), a high—affinity anti—[epidermal
`growth factor (EGF) receptor] antibody for use in the
`treatment of EGP—responsive tumours [9]. In summary, these
`techniques have reduced the immunogcnicity of mAbs to
`an extent where repeated doses can be administered without
`impaired efficacy.
`
`Antibodies by design: the right tools
`for the job
`A sound understanding of the biochemical pathway being
`targeted is central to the ‘wish list’ for a mAb therapeutic. In
`many applications the recruitment of host effector functions
`through Fc receptors (including complement fixation and
`antibodysdependent cell—mediated cytotoxicity) is essential.
`In humans the IgGI isotypc is the preferred therapeutic
`choice for triggering effector cascades. An approved antibody
`with the potential to trigger effector function is Herceptin,
`an an ti-I-IERZ/neu antibody used in the treatment of breast
`cancer. In addition to the well-described ability to block
`HerZ-depcndent growth, some of the clinical benefit from
`Herccptin treatment is thought to arise from an ability
`to promore antibody—dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity
`[10]. Conversely, when target neutralization is the only goal,
`it may be preferable to use the IgG4 isotype that is incapable
`of triggering these cascades [11]. Irrespective of isotype there
`are several additional benefits to the IgG format. Divalent IgG
`molecules have the potential to cross-link cell—surface antigen
`in the absence of macrophage/natural killer cell Fc receptors.
`For example, in some CDZO—positive cell lines cross-linking
`has been shown to induce apoptosis [12]. An alternative
`to using this is to use antibody fragments such as Fab or
`scFv. Both of these formats are unable to trigger effector
`function and because of a reduced size have an increased
`
`tumour penetration. These fragments are especially suited to
`the delivery of ‘payload' (see below). One obvious drawback
`of Fabs/scFvs is a reduced half—life (hours compared with 2—
`3 weeks with IgG). It is, hOcher, possible to improve the
`serum longevity of these proteins by conjugating to inert
`polymers such as poly(cthylene)glycols [13]. Examples of
`cancer targets where neutralization is the primary goal include
`matrix metaIIOproteascs (‘MMPs'}, urokinasc plasminogen
`activator ('uPA’} and vascular endothelial growth factor
`(‘VEGF’), which are all secreted proteins associated with
`tumour progression.
`
`Antibody conjugates: adding insult

`
`weapons in the delivery of destructive payload [14]. A
`number of approaches have been developed, which in the
`context of anti—cancer protocols provide measurable im-
`provements
`in cell killing. The major categories
`are
`radioisotopes, protein toxin—enzyme fusions and small-
`molecule conjugates.
`Antibodies are routinely used to concentrate doses of
`radiation in tissues for both therapeutic and diagnostic pur—
`poses. Common isotopes used to this end include iodine-I31,
`yttrium-90, indium-111 and technicium-99. Tumour killing
`by unlabelled mAbs is
`limited by the degree of antigen
`density on the tumour cell and the ability to penetrate
`tumours adequately. Although radiolabelled niAbs may be
`less restricted by antigen density in their efficacy they
`Can gain an advantage by a ‘bystander’ effect
`in killing
`antigen—negative tumour cells. Conversely, this phenomenon
`would also be responsible for non—Specific toxicity. The two
`most extensively studied radiolahelled mAbs are chalin
`(”Y—labelled anti—CD20) and Bexxar
`(ml—labelled anti—
`CDZO), the former receiving recent US Food and Drug
`Administration (FDA) approval for the treatment of non-
`Hodgkins lymphoma. For therapeutic purposes “oY—labellcd
`miAbs may be better debulking agents for larger tumours
`because of the increased path length of the emission compared
`with mI—labelled mAbs, which may be preferable for
`targeting post-therapy minimal disease [15].
`Protein toxins are a large group derived from a variety of
`microbial, plant and human sources. Above all other mAb
`conjugates, these toxins can be engineered directly into the
`antibody-constant regions, significantly reducing the mantl-
`facturing costs. Examples include Pscedomonas exotoxin,
`which when conjugated to anti—CD22 has been shoWn to
`dramatically increase cell killing [16]. For plant toxins, de-
`glycosylated ricin (it-Chain has the longeSt and most successful
`history. In one recent report a ricin—CDI‘) conjugate was
`shown to confer a large increase in the ability of antibody to
`kill malignant B-cells [17]. The major foreseeable problem
`with protein toxins
`is
`their potential
`immunogenicity,
`especially when considering microbial toxins to which an
`individual may already have been sensitized. An alternative
`would be to use cytotoxic human proteins. Angiogenin, .1
`human RNase, has been shown to induce apoptosis when
`delivered into the cytoplasm. In one recent publication:
`bacterially expressed CDJOL—angiogcnin fusion protein was
`found to be capable of killing a wide range of CD30+
`Hodgkin-derived cell lines [18]. This toxin may represent
`a clever way to avoid host immune responses.
`The third payload group comprises toxic small molecules
`which are usually DNA-complexing agents or inhibitDrS
`of the cell cycle. In this situation the antibody conjugfltc
`is internalized and the toxic drug liberated after cleavage
`of a pH- or enzyme-sensitive linker. As mAbs can tar;cc
`chemotherapy exclusively to cancer cells, more pow"t
`chemotherapy can be used when attached to mAbs than
`when administered systemically, for example maytansil‘lc
`conjugates [19]. Small toxic drug molecules have petenrifll
`advantages: in general they have a negligible immunogenicitl'

`and naked antibodies are illustrated in Figure 1.
`
`Problems, solutions and evolution
`We can infer from the previous discussion that the modern
`antibody investigator has the technological tool kit necessary
`to ensure the smooth transition of a project from antigen
`discovery to therapeutic mAb. What
`then is the major
`bottleneck that still exists in the discovery process? The
`completion of the human genome combined with advances
`in proteomics technologies have helped to enhance our
`understanding of the complex interplay between genetic,
`transcriptional and translational alterations in human cancers.
`Although bioinformaticians have made strides in identifying
`potentially interesting novel cancer targets there is a central
`bottleneck at the point when cancer biologists must inves tw
`igate each individual gene for therapeutic potential. These
`assays are time—coasurning and labour—intensive. Looking at
`the current crop of approved antibody targets, they have
`all benefited from around 10u20years of detailed academic
`research. The future goal will be to design high-throughput
`biology modes to move novel cancer targets quickly towards
`clinical development.
`Insight
`into the future of antibody therapeutics can
`probably be glimpsed through technologies such as ribosome
`display. Here, antibody-fragment libraries are not displayed
`on bacteriophage but are produced entirely in ot’tro and
`there is also the potential to introduce mutagenesis steps
`into the antibody~encoding RNA sequences. This system
`has the advantages of greater library size (2—10”), potentially
`higher mAb affinity and improved speed compared with
`standard phage display [21]. If this technique tells us anything
`about the future of antibody discovery it suggests that soon
`the generation of humanized/human mAbs may become as
`routine as PCR is today: We await the release of the first
`human antibody-generation kit!
`
`Conclusions
`
`Kohlcr and Milsteins’ dream of mAbs as exquisitely sensitive
`therapeutics has finally been realized. Two antibodies,
`I-Ierccptin and Rituxan, have proved that this class of drugs
`can be effective (and highly lucrative) anti—cancer agents
`for those companies brave enough to enter this research
`'graveyard’. From a stalled start, mAbs now represent
`around 25% of the novel biological entities entering clinical
`trials, indicating that the biotechnology community at large
`has finally recognized the speed and efficiency of
`the
`antibody platform. It is also becoming clear (and it is ironic)
`that the classical monoclonal antibody may yet become
`the commercial saviour of the l’llgl'lvtccl‘l proteomics and
`genomics revolutions.
