1 B Lymphocyte (B cell) B cells: Develop from stem cells in the bone marrow and differentiate into antibody-producing plasma cells in the blood Are capable of making a vast number of antibody specificities from a limited number of genes Antibodies are both secreted to fight disease and get displayed on the B cell surface for antigen-specific signaling and activation
2 B cell receptor Antigen can cross-link the BCR and induce a signaling cascade IgM Igα Igβ Syk Tyrosine Kinases e.g. Lck, Blk, Fyn PLC, Ras
3 B cell co-receptor Lowers the threshold for cell activation in combination with antigen-specific triggering C3d Antigen CD CD19 sigm Y Y
4 B cell activation B cells: Interact with other immune cells such as helper T cells that provide essential cytokines Soluble antigens bind to the B cell receptor (BCR) complex and are taken into the cell where they are degraded into peptides Peptide:MHC class II complexes bind to TCR on helper T cells and stimulate cytokines essential for differentiation into antibody-producing plasma cells
5 Antibody Structure
6 From Genes to Antibody
7 Antibody V region structure CDRs Antigen-binding regions
8 Variable regions - H chain VH FR1 FR2 FR3 FR4 CDR1 CDR2 CDR3 V Protein D J DNA Joining process is imprecise leading to junctional diversity
9 Generators of antibody diversity Recombination of different V + D +J regions Genomic repertoire partly responsible for diversity Imprecision of recombination events Varied cross-over events result in different D segment lengths Non-template encoded N-nucleotide additions (TdT enzyme) Somatic hypermutation Occurs when B cells respond to antigen stimulation Mutations in and around CDRs
10 Antibody gene organization V H (1-51) D (1-27) S J H Cµ Cδ Cγ3 Cγ1 Cα1 Cγ2 Cγ4 Cε
11 Antibody H chain gene rearrangement in early pro-b cells D (1-27) S D3 to J4 join J H Cµ Cδ Cγ3 Cγ1 Cα1 Cγ2 Cγ4 Cε S D-J H Cµ Cδ Cγ3 Cγ1 Cα1 Cγ2

13 Productive rearrangement results in gene activation and expression V H Promoter Eµ S Cµ Cδ Cγ3 Cγ1 Cα1 Cγ2 V-DJ H Primary mrna transcript RNA Splicing Mature LVDJCµ mrna
14 Alternative splicing creates membrane form of µ chain as part of BCR Primary mrna transcript Alternative RNA Splicing Addition of membrane exon Mature LVDJCµ mrna Hydrophobic residues anchor into membrane
15 Steps in B cell development Antigen-independent steps Occurs in bone marrow H and L chain rearrangement Selection of B cells with productive gene rearrangement Self reactive clones are deleted Antigen-dependent steps Occurs in periphery, e.g. lymph nodes Expression of IgM on surface (Ag-specific BCR) Additional rearrangement for isotype switch (e.g. IgG) Somatic mutation drives additional diversity
16 Antigen-independent (early) Development Stem Cell Early pro-b cell Late pro-b cell Pre-B Cell µ Immature B cell µ IgM H chain Germline D-J Rearranged V-DJ Rearranged V-DJ Rearranged V-DJ Rearranged L chain Germline Germline Germline V-J Rearranging V-J Rearranged Signals VLA4 / ICAM Stem cell factor / Kit IL-7 / IL7-R IL-7 / IL7-R Other CAM Enzymes Transcription factors Rag-1 and 2 TnT Rag-1 and 2 TnT Rag-1 and 2 NFκB NFκB
17 Antigen-independent development additional points Productive rearrangement of µ chain blocks further rearrangement of H chain gene Induces rearrangement of L chain genes until a successful rearrangement occurs then further blocked Allelic Exclusion Pre-B cells with expressed µ chain expand Multiple chances to use a given H chain with multiple L chains
18 Antigen-dependent (late-stage) Development Immature B cell Mature Naive B cell Lymphoblast Memory B cell Plasma cell migm migd migm sigm migg sigg H chain µ chain in membrane form µ and δ chains in membrane form via alternative splicing Alternative splicing of µ to secreted form Somatic hyper mutation Isotype switch to Cγ, Cα, Cε Isotype switching and alternative splicing to secreted Ab L chain V-J Rearranged V-J Rearranged V-J Rearranged V-J Rearranged Somatic hyper mutation

20 Consequences of isotype switching Change in binding valency Pentameric IgM Dimeric Ig Compensated by affinity maturation Change in antibody properties Circulating half-life IgG > IgM > IgE Effector functions - ADCC, complement fixation Biodistribution IgG blood IgA mucosal surfaces IgE mast cells
21 Summary Antibody diversity created in concert with B cell development and activation by antigen Involves diversity of binding Affinity of Ag:Ab interaction Specificity Also diversity of function Nature has been performing Antibody Engineering Knowledge gained inspired genetic engineering of Abs
22 Antibody Engineering First step - development of monoclonal antibodies Fusion of antibody-producing B cell with myeloma Results in immortalized monospecific Ab-producing cell line Second step - ability to clone and re-express Abs Initially done with cloned, rearranged genes from hybridomas Parallel work with isolated Fab fragments in bacteria Third step - re-engineering for desired properties Reducing immunogenicity of mouse antibodies Tailoring size and half-life for specific need Adding or removing functions Engineered diversity phage display approach
23 Cloning and re-expressing antibodies V-DJ H Eµ S Rearranged gene in cell line making desired antibody Cγ1 Cα1 Cγ2 DNA fragments cloned in λ phage library Transfect e.g. myeloma cell Selectable marker gene Bacterial plasmid Drug selection Secretes transfected antibody

26 Single vector for high level Ab expression in lymphoid or non-lymphoid cells V H and V L cassettes are inserted into pre-designed sites of modular expression vector Modular design allows for easy isotype or fusion protein switching Promoter/enhancers optimized for multiple cell types High producers obtained by gene amplification or forced selection of optimal integration SV40 enh-pro DHFR AflII (9464) SalI (2) SV40 PolyA CMV enh-pro EcoRI (8868) XbaI (659) PvuI (8245) Amp-r FspI (8097) Genomic leader AflII (1095) VL V L insertion pbr322 pdhl7-ab bp BamHI (1522) CL HuKappa PolyA SV40 PolyA PvuI (3056) BamHI (6331) Fusion protein insertion site XhoI (6325) CH3 CH2 Hinge CMV enh-pro XhoI (3724) Genomic leader AflII (4166) VH HindIII (4515) V H insertion CH1

28 V Region humanization FR1 FR2 FR3 FR4 V H Mouse V region CDR1 CDR2 CDR3 V H FR1 FR2 FR3 CDR1 CDR2 CDR3 FR4 Human framework + mouse CDRs This approach has worked but often leads to mis-folding of CDRs requiring additional FR back-mutations
29 Is humanization what we want No we want the protein to be non-immunogenic Humanized and even human V regions can contain T cell epitopes that differ from the germline (via somatic mutation or recombination events) What is self for a V region sequence donor can be nonself for the general population
30 V Region de-immunization FR1 FR2 FR3 V H FR4 Mouse V region CDR1 CDR2 epitope CDR3 V H FR1 FR2 FR3 FR4 Mutate sequence to reduce class II binding De-immunized V region CDR1 CDR2 CDR3
31 Antibody production requires MHC Class II antigen presentation
32 MHC Class II Peptide Binding What we re actually targeting in deimmunization
33 Protein Deimmunization Based Upon in silico Prediction Of T-cell Epitopes Immunogenic Protein Deimmunized Protein HLA Binding Matrices Germlines BLAST Alignments Substitution Matrices
34 Artificial Ab libraries Phage-display methods (pros) Allow for rapid screening of huge numbers (high diversity) Are not biased against self binders due to human-mouse homology Can be used for affinity maturation Can be used to isolate human antibody V region binders Phage-display methods (cons) Lack of in vivo editing for cross-reactivity May still contain immunogenic epitopes Costly to commercialize
35 Phage library construction Different sources of V gene input: cdna from immune or naïve individual germline V regions Marks, NEJM 335:
36 Phage antibody selection Phage library is expanded and generated from infected E. coli. Individual phage can be isolated from plaques and expanded for further testing. DNA encoding desired V region can be derived by PCR from the monoclonal phage particle. Whole antibody can be re-constructed from phage V regions Marks, NEJM 335:
37 Therapeutic Antibody Approaches Whole Antibodies (chimeric, human, de-immunized, etc.) Antagonists Anti-EGFR, CTLA4 Agonists Anti-CD40 Anti-virals Neutralizing RSV Depleting immune cells Anti-CD20, CD19, CD22, CD3, CD4
38 Therapeutic Antibody Approaches Antibodies as carriers Radio-immune therapy (Zevalin, Bexxar) Immunotoxins Antibody-drug conjugates Antibody-cytokine fusions Bi-specific antibodies Dual specificity (same cell) Cross-linking cells (e.g. anti-t cell / anti-tumor cell)
