Recombinant anti-PD-L1 antibodies for in vivo use

InvivoGen offers two murinized monoclonal antibodies (mAb) targeting PD-L1 (programmed cell death ligand 1), and therefore blocking the interaction with its receptor PD-1:

  • Anti-PD-L1-mIgG1e3 (10F.9G2) InvivoFit™ features the variable region of the rat-derived clone 10F.9G2, targeting mouse PD-L1 [1].
     
  • Anti-PD-L1-mIgG1e3 (Atezo) InvivoFit™ features the variable region of atezolizumab, recognizing human and mouse PD-L1 [2].


The original anti-mPD-L1-rIgG2b (clone 10F.9G2) is the most commonly used PD-L1-targeting mAb in mouse in vivo studies. Atezolizumab (anti-PD-L1-hIgG1, also known as MPDL3280A) is a fully humanized therapeutic mAb, approved by the FDA for the treatment of various types of cancer [3]. Interestingly, it binds both human and mouse PD-L1. Upon repeated injections into mice, these mAbs can lead to immunogenicity and risks of fatal hypersensitivity reaction, since they are humanized and rat-derived, respectively [4].

 

To overcome these issues, InvivoGen replaced the humanized (Atezo) and rat-derived (10F.9G2) constant regions with a murine constant region, making the mAbs ~65% of murine origin. Both mAbs now harbor an engineered murine IgG1 constant region (mIgG1e3). Within that region, a point mutation was introduced changing the aspartic (D) acid at position 265  to an alanine (A) (D265A). This leads to a complete loss of unwanted Fc-associated effector functions [5]. These alterations increase antibody performance and overcome immunogenic events, especially in vivo [6].

Both antibodies are produced in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and purified by affinity chromatography with protein A.  Its binding is validated by flow cytometry and ELISA. InvivoGen's anti-PD-L1 mAbs are provided in an InvivoFit™ grade, a high-quality standard specifically adapted to in vivo studies.

  • Feature mouse IgG1e3 isotype (constant region)
  • mIgG1e3 (IgG1 with a D265A point mutation) is effectorless
  • Filter-sterilized (0.2 µm), endotoxin level: 1 EU/mg

Programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1; also called B7-H1 or CD274) binds to programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) on T cells and contributes to T cell exhaustion during chronic infections. Moreover, the engagement of PD-1 on T cells and PD-L1 on malignant cells is associated with the immune escape of tumors. Clinical trials have highlighted the anti-tumor efficacy of blockades targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway [7].

Binding specificity to recombinant mouse or human PD-L1. Mouse or human PD-L1 (2 µg/ml) was coated on ELISA plates overnight. A 3-fold serial dilution of the Anti-mPD-L1-mIgG1e3 (F10.9G2) InvivoFit™ (red curve), Anti-PD-L1-mIgG1e3 (Atezo) InvivoFit™ (blue curve), or of the Anti-β-Gal-mIgG1e3 control antibody (grey curve) was performed for the capture step. An HRP-labelled anti-mIgG antibody (1/1000 dilution) and the HRP substrate OPD (o-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride) were used for the detection step. Absorbance was read at 650 nm.

Subsequently, a secondary PE-labeled antibody was added and incubated at 4°C for 30 minutes. Cell surface staining was analyzed by flow cytometry.

Details

Programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1), also known as cluster of differentiation 274 (CD274) or B7 homolog 1 (B7-H1) is a transmembrane protein that can be constitutively expressed or induced in myeloid, lymphoid, and normal epithelial cells, as well as in cancer [1, 2]. PD-L1 is the principal ligand for programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and under physiological conditions, this interaction is essential for immune tolerance to prevent excessive immune cell activity.

However, PD-L1 expression is an immune evasion mechanism exploited by various malignancies and is generally associated with poorer prognosis [3]. Specifically, overexpressed PD-L1 on tumor cells and tumor-infiltrating immune cells, such as macrophages, can bind to PD-1 on cytotoxic T cells, and ultimately inhibit the anti-tumor T cell response [2, 4]. Thus, due to PD-L1’s instrumental role in immune evasion by cancer cells, there are numerous inhibitors in development as promising immuno-oncology therapies. Notably, Atezolizumab (also known as MPDL3280A), a fully humanized IgG1 (N298A) mAb that blocks the interaction of PD-L1 with PD-1 and induces anti-tumor immune reactivation, has been approved by the FDA for combinational use in the treatment of lung and breast cancer [2, 5].
