20080274110Cell Death-Inducing Agents - To identify antigens of the 2D7 antibody, the present inventors cloned the 2D7 antigen. As a result, the 2D7 antibody was found to recognize HLA class IA. In addition, the present inventors examined whether the 2D7 antibody has cell death-inducing activity. Nuclei fragmentation was observed when the 2D7 antibody was cross-linked with another antibody, indicating that cell-death was induced. Further, diabodies of the 2D7 antibody were found to have very strong cell death-inducing activities, even without the addition of another antibody. These results indicate that minibodies of an HLA-recognizing antibody can be used as cell death-inducing agents.11-06-2008
20100150927CELL DEATH INDUCER - An objective of the present invention is to provide an antibody having a high cell death-inducing activity. To solve the above-described problems, the present inventors immunized mice with cells expressing human HLA class IA and human β2 microglobulin (β2M) to obtain monoclonal antibodies. Screening of the obtained antibodies was performed to obtain ten clones of antibodies having a cell death-inducing activity. Analyses of these clones revealed that three of the clones (antibodies C3B3, C11B9, and C17D11), which have the α2 domain of the HLA class I antigen as an epitope, showed a stronger cytotoxic activity when crosslinked with an anti-mouse IgG antibody. Furthermore, when a C3B3 diabody was generated, this diabody was revealed to show a stronger anti-tumor effect compared with conventional diabodies of the 2D7 antibody, which is an HLA class IA antibody.06-17-2010
20120244142ANTIBODY CAPABLE OF RECOGNIZING HLA CLASS I - An objective of the present invention is to provide antibodies that recognize HLA class I and have significant cell death-inducing activity. To achieve the above objective, first, the present inventors immunized mice with soluble HLA-A to which a FLAG tag is attached. Four days after the final immunization, spleen cells from the mice were fused with mouse myeloma cells. Then, hybridoma screening was carried out using the cell aggregation-inducing activity and cell death-inducing activity as an index. Thus, the monoclonal antibody F17B1 that has strong cell death-inducing activity was selected. The sequences of the H chain and L chain variable regions of the mouse monoclonal antibody F17B1 were determined to humanize this antibody. Then, the humanized anti-HLA class I antibody H2-G1d_L1-k0 was assessed for cell death induction. The result showed that H2-G1d_L1-k0 suppressed the growth of the IM9 cell line in a concentration dependent manner.09-27-2012
