Abstract

Background/objectives: A mouse antibody directed against truncated Annexin A1 showed high tumor retention in pre-clinical cancer models and was approved by the National Cancer Institute Experimental Therapeutics (NExT) program for humanization and large batch cGMP production for toxicology and clinical trials. In this process, a contractor for Leidos accidentally produced a mutated version of humanized AnnA1 (hAnnA1-mut) with a single nucleotide deletion in the terminal Fc coding region that increased the translated size by eight amino acids with random alterations in the final twenty-four amino acids. We investigated the tissue distribution of hAnnA1-mut, hAnnA1, mAnnA1, and isotope-matched human IgG1 under various injection and conjugation conditions with C57BL/6, FVB, and BALB/c nude mice strains.

Methods: Biodistribution studies were performed 24 h after injection of Tc-99m-HYNIC radiolabeled antibodies (purity > 98%). Non-reducing gel electrophoresis studies were conducted with IR680 labeled antibodies incubated with various mouse sera.

Results: Our results showed that Tc-99m-HYNIC-hAnnA1 had low spleen and liver retention not statistically different from Tc-99m-HYNIC-IgG1 and Tc-99m-HYNIC-mAnnA1, with corresponding higher blood levels; however, Tc-99m-HYNIC-hAnnA1-mut had high levels in the spleen and liver with differences identified among the mouse strains, radiolabeling conditions, and injection routes. Histopathology showed no morphological change in the liver or spleen from any conditions. Gel electrophoresis showed an upward shift of hAnnA1-mut, consistent with the binding of blood serum protein.

Conclusions: The changes in the Fc region of hAnnA1-mut led to higher liver and spleen uptake, suggesting the antibody's recognition by the innate immune system (likely complement protein binding) and subsequent clearance. Future clinical translation using hAnnA1 and other antibodies needs to limit protein modifications that could drastically reduce blood clearance.

期刊介绍: Antibodies (ISSN 2073-4468), an international, peer-reviewed open access journal which provides an advanced forum for studies related to antibodies and antigens. It publishes reviews, research articles, communications and short notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Full experimental and/or methodical details must be provided. Electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure - if unable to be published in a normal way - can be deposited as supplementary material. This journal covers all topics related to antibodies and antigens, topics of interest include (but are not limited to): antibody-producing cells (including B cells), antibody structure and function, antibody-antigen interactions, Fc receptors, antibody manufacturing antibody engineering, antibody therapy, immunoassays, antibody diagnosis, tissue antigens, exogenous antigens, endogenous antigens, autoantigens, monoclonal antibodies, natural antibodies, humoral immune responses, immunoregulatory molecules.
