Abstract
Described are immunoglobulins provided with a toxic moiety, comprising at least an immunoglobulin variable region that specifically binds to an MHC-peptide complex preferentially associated with aberrant cells. These immunoglobulins provided with a toxic moiety are preferably used in selectively modulating biological processes. The provided immunoglobulins provided with a toxic moiety are of particular use in pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of diseases related to cellular aberrancies, such as cancers and autoimmune diseases.
Claims
1. An immunoglobulin conjugated to a toxic moiety comprising at least an immunoglobulin region that specifically binds to an MHC-I-MAGE peptide complex, wherein the immunoglobulin region comprises a Vh domain comprising SEQ ID NO: 1; wherein the MAGE peptide of the MHC-I-MAGE peptide complex is derived from intracellular MAGE associated with aberrant cells; and wherein the MAGE peptide is a multi-MAGE epitope.
2. The immunoglobulin conjugated to a toxic moiety according to claim 1, wherein the immunoglobulin region further comprises a Vl.
3. The immunoglobulin conjugated to a toxic moiety of claim 1, wherein the MHC-I-MAGE peptide complex is specific for aberrant cells.
4. A pharmaceutical composition comprising: the immunoglobulin conjugated to a toxic moiety of claim 1, and suitable diluents and/or excipients.
5. A method of treating a host suffering from a disease associated with aberrant cells, the method comprising: administering the immunoglobulin conjugated to a toxic moiety of claim 1 to the host, for the treatment of the host suffering from a disease associated with aberrant cells.
6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the toxic moiety is internalized into an aberrant cell of the host.
7. A method of treating a subject determined to be suffering from cancer, the method comprising: administering the immunoglobulin conjugated to a toxic moiety of claim 1 to the host to treat cancer.
8. The method according to claim 7, wherein at least the toxic moiety is internalized into an aberrant cell of the subject.
9. The immunoglobulin conjugated to a toxic moiety of claim 3, wherein the MAGE is MAGE-A.
10. The immunoglobulin conjugated to a toxic moiety of claim 1, wherein the toxic moiety is a fusion protein fused to the immunoglobulin at the DNA level through a linking sequence.
11. The immunoglobulin conjugated to a toxic moiety of claim 1, wherein the MHC-I-MAGE peptide complex is upregulated on aberrant cells.

(6) Panel A. Cartoon displaying the topology of the twelve immunoglobulin domains assembled in an immunoglobulin G. Panel B. Examples are provided of preferred immunoglobulins provided with a toxic moiety, according to the disclosure. Shown are immunoglobulins provided with a single toxic moiety such as, for example, a cytostatic agent, linked to the immunoglobulin with a chemical linker (exemplified by I. and II.; immunoglobulin-toxic moiety conjugates), or immunoglobulins provided with a single toxic moiety, linked to the immunoglobulin with a peptide linker (exemplified by III.; fused immunoglobulin-toxic moiety molecule). In IV., an immunoglobulin provided with a toxic moiety, according to the disclosure, is shown, comprising one immunoglobulin heavy chain comprising a fused proteinaceous toxic moiety, comprising immunoglobulin variable regions specific for a certain binding site, and comprising a second immunoglobulin heavy chain comprising immunoglobulin variable regions specific for a different binding site. Of course, also part of the disclosure are bi-specific immunoglobulins provided with a toxic moiety, according to the disclosure, comprising two heavy chains comprising different immunoglobulin variable regions specific for different binding sites and further comprising the same or different proteinaceous toxic moieties fused two the heavy chains. Of course, as part of the disclosure, more than one and typically two to six toxic moiety molecules can be fused or conjugated to an immunoglobulin molecule.

(8) Human Fab clone F9 was analyzed for its capacity to bind mouse lung tumor cells (CMT64) stably expressing the HLA-A2/FLWGPRALV [SEQ ID NO:23] complex. Purified Clone F9 Fab fragments (3 g total) were incubated with 0.510.sup.6 CMT64 cells that do not express human HLA, that express HLA-A2/YLEYRQVPG [SEQ ID NO:3] or that express HLA-A2/FLWGPRALV [SEQ ID NO:23]. After one hour incubation on ice CMT64 cells were incubated with a fluorescently labeled secondary antibody and analyzed by flow cytometry.
(9)
(10) Llama VHH specific for A2/FLW or A2/YLE were analyzed by flow cytometry for their binding capacity to CMT64 cells expressing these human HLA-A0201/multi-MAGE-A complexes. Purified VHH fragments (3 g total) were incubated with 0.510.sup.6 CMT64 cells that do not express human HLA, that express HLA-A2/YLEYRQVPG [SEQ ID NO:3] or that express HLA-A2/FLWGPRALV [SEQ ID NO:23]. After one hour incubation on ice CMT64 cells were incubated with a fluorescently labeled secondary antibody and analyzed by flow cytometry.
