Description

PCT/GBZOIZ/052296 FID T IVNTI The present ion relates to the provision of antibody therapeutics and prophylactics that are tailored specifically for human use.
The present invention provides libraries, rates and cells, such as transgenic mice or rats or transgenic mouse or rat cells. rmore, the invention relates to methods of using the vertebrates to isolate antibodies or nucleotide sequences encoding antibodies. dies, heavy chains, polypeptides, tide sequences, pharmaceutical compositions and uses are also ed by the invention.
The state of the art provides non-human vertebrates (eg, mice and rats) and cells comprising enic immunoglobulin loci, such loci comprising human variable (V), diversity (D) and/orjoining (J) segments, and ally human nt regions. Alternatively, endogenous constant regions of the host vertebrate (eg, mouse or rat constant s) are provided in the transgenic loci. Methods of constructing such transgenic vertebrates and use of these to generate antibodies and nucleic acids thereof following antigen immunisation are known in the art, eg, see 552 (Medarex), US$939598 (Abgenix), U56130364 (Abgenix), W002/066630 (Regeneron), w02011004192 (Genome Research Limited), W02009076464, W02009143472 and W02010039900 (Ablexis), the disclosures of which are explicitly incorporated herein. Such transgenic loci in the art include varying amounts of the human V(D) J repertoire. Existing transgenic immunoglobulin loci are based on a single human DNA source. The potential diversity of human antibody variable regions in non-human vertebrates bearing such transgenic loci is thus confined.
The inventors considered that it would be desirable to tailor the genomes of these transgenic non- human vertebrates (and thus antibody and antibody chain products of these) to address the variability — and commonality — in the natural dy gene usage of humans. The inventors wanted to do this in order to better address human use of antibody-based therapeutic and prophylactic drugs. 2012l052296 It would be desirable also to provide for novel and potentially expanded repertoire and diversity of human le regions in transgenic immunoglobulin loci and non-human vertebrates harbouring these, as well as in dies produced ing immunisation of such animals.
M Y F I VENTI The present invention has been developed from extensive bioinformatics analysis of l antibody gene segment distributions across a myriad of different human tions and across more than two thousand samples from human individuals. The inventors have undertaken this huge task to more thoroughly understand and design non-human vertebrate systems and ant antibodies to better address human medical therapeutics as a whole, as well as to enable rational design to address specific ethnic populations of humans. Using such rational design, the inventors have ucted transgenic non-human vertebrates and isolated antibodies, antibody chains and cells expressing these in a way that yields products that utilise gene segments that have been purposely included on the basis of the human bioinformatics is. The examples illustrate worked experiments where the inventors isolated many cells and antibodies to this effect.
The invention also relates to synthetically-extended & ethnically-diverse uman immunoglobulin gene repertoires. The present invention thus provides for novel and potentially expanded synthetic immunoglobulin diversities, thus providing a pool of diversity from which human antibody therapeutic leads can be selected. This expanded pool is useful when seeking to find antibodies with desirable teristics, such as relatively high affinity to target antigen without the need for r affinity maturation (eg, using laborious in vitro ques such as phage or ribosome display), or improved biophysical characteristics, or to address targets and new epitopes that have previously been difficult to address with antibodies are not reached by prior antibody binding sites.
The invention also provides for diversity that is potentially biased towards variable gene usage common to members of a specific human population, which is useful for generating antibodies for treating and/or preventing diseases or conditions within such population, This ability to bias the PCT/G82012/052296 antibody oire allows one to tailor antibody therapeutics with the aim of more effectively ng and/or preventing disease or medical conditions in specific human populations.
The present inventors realised the possibility of providing immunoglobulin gene segments from disparate sources in transgenic loci, in order to provide for novel and potentially-expanded dy ities from which antibody therapeutics (and antibody tool reagents) could be generated. This- opens up the potential of transgenic human-mouse/rat technologies to the possibility of interrogating different and possibly larger antibody ce-spaces than has hitherto been possible.
In rationally designing transgenic dy loci, as well as antibodies and antibody chains, the ors also realised that a relatively long HCDR3 length (at least 20 amino acids) is often desirable to address epitopes. For example, naturally-occurring antibodies have been isolated from humans infected with infectious disease pathogens, such antibodies having a long HCDR3 length.
Neutralising antibodies have been found in this respect. A long HCDR3 length would be desirable to address other antigens (eg, receptor clefts or enzyme active sites), not just limited to infectious disease pathogens, and thus the inventors ed the general desirability of the possibility of engineering transgenic loci to be able to produce long HCDR3 antibodies and heavy chains. The inventors, through laborious execution of bioinformatics on in excess of 2000 human DNA samples via the 1000 Genomes project together with rational sequence choices, identified that the ion of the specific human gene segment variant JH6*02 is desirable for ing long HCDR3 antibodies and chains.
Additional rational design and bioinformatics has led the inventors to realise that specific human constant region ts are conserved across many diverse human populations. The inventors realised that this opens up the possibility of making a choice to se dies, chains and variable domains by using such specific constant regions in products, rather than arbitrarily choosing the human constant region (or a synthetic version of a human constant region). This aSpect of the invention also s one to tailor antibody-based drugs to specific human ethnic populations, thereby more closely matching drug to patient (and thus disease setting) than has hitherto been performed. It can be a problem in the state of the art that antibodies are humanised with an ary choice of human constant region (presumably derived from one (often unknown) ethnic population or non-naturally occurring) that does not function as well in patients of a different human ethnic tion. This is important, since the constant region has the major role in providing antibody effector functions, eg, for antibody recycling, cellular and complement recruitment and for cell killing.

Because the reference genome was assembled from a series of very large insert clones, the identity of these clones is known.
Accordingly, experimental work with human genomic DNA is usually conducted on the clones from which the reference sequence was derived. individual humans differ in their sequence and recently several individuals have had their s sequenced, for ce James Watson and Craig Venter. ison of the genome sequence of these individuals has revealed differences between their sequences and the reference genome in both coding and non-coding parts of the genome, approximately 1 in 1000 bases are different.
Some variants will be significant and contribute to differences between individuals. In extreme cases PCT/G82012/052296 these will reSult in genetic disease. Variation can be implicated in differing responses to drugs stered to human patients, eg, yielding an undesirable lowering of patient response to treatment.
The 1000—Genomes Project has the objective of identifying the most frequent variations in the human genome. This public domain project involved sequencing the genomes of more than 1000 individuals from diverse ethnic groups, comparing these sequences to the nce and assembling a catalogue of variants. This has enabled the annotation of variants in coding regions, but e this sequence wasn't derived from large clones of DNA, the is of the sequence from diploid individuals can’t discriminate the distribution of the variation between the maternal and paternally inherited chromosomes. Where more than one variant is identified in a protein coding gene, it is not possible to illuminate the distribution of the pattern of variants in each version of the protein. For example, if two variants are detected in different positions of the same protein in an dual, this could have resulted from one copy with two variants and none in the other or each copy could have just one variant. To illuminate the sequence of real ns, the 1000-Genome t has sequenced mother-father-child trios. This allows one to “phase” the sequence variants, in other words identify blocks of sequence that are inherited from one or other parent and deconvolute the variants.
To further understand the variation within the enome set a tool has been developed that can identify the significant variants (defined as non-synonymous amino acid changes) from a region of DNA from the phased data in the 1000-genome data set. This tool has been made available online WThis tool allows an investigator to download non-synonymous variation delimited n specific coordinates. The aded files are configured as individual genotypes, but the data is phased so the haplotype ation and the frequencies of specific halotypes in different populations can be extracted.
The inventors' is of the 1000-genome data for the individual human coding segments of the C, V D and] genes from the heavy and light chains s that there is significant variation in these segments. Individuals will usually have two different heavy chain alleles and also different light chain alleles at both kappa and lambda loci. The repertoire of antibodies that can be generated W0 2013/041844 from each allele will be different. This variation will bute to a better or differing immune response to certain antigens.
Humanized mice that have hitherto been generated with immunoglobulin heavy and light chain loci contain just one type of immunoglobulin locus. Even if these mice contain a full human heavy chain locus, the variation will be less than contained in a typical human because only one set of C, V, D and J genes are available, while atypical human would have two sets.
The inventors have devised ways to improve on this tion when constructing enic non- human rates and cells for human antibody and variable region production in vivo.
Mice can be generated with two different loci, each engineered to have a different repertoire of V, D and J ts. This could be in a single mouse or two or more separate mouse strains and would be analogous to or beyond the repertoire found in a normal human. The engineering of such a mouse would go beyond the repertoire described in humanized mice to date which only have one set of alleles.
However, the inventors also realized that this also has limitations, because the different loci would not normally interact to shuffle V, D and J variants between loci. This same limitation is also inherent in a human, thus this system does not utilize the advantage of recombining variants in all ations.
To go beyond the normal repertoire in humans and take advantage of combinations of C, V, D and J variants the inventors decided, in one embodiment, to provide these on the same chromosome in cis. See figure 6. These loci would be characterized by having more than the normal number ofJ, D or V genes, For example n:6 for theJ genes, but including one 16 variant and one 12 variant would increase this to n=8. This could be combined with additional variants for the D and V genes, for example. By detailed is of the 1000- Genomes database, the inventors have devised a collection of candidate rphic human variant gene ts, eg, JH gene segments (eg, see the examples), that can be built into the design of transgenic heavy and light chain loci in mice for expressing increasingly diverse and new, synthetic repertoires of human variable regions. Moreover, by utilizing naturally-occurring human t gene segments, as per embodiments of the ion, this addresses compatibility with human ts since the inventor’s analysis has drawn out candidate variants that are naturally conserved and sometimes very prevalent amongst human ethnic populations. Additionally this enables one to tailor the urations of the invention to provide for antibody-based drugs that better address specific human ethnic populations.
In an example according to any configuration of the invention, loci (and cells and vertebrates comprising these) are provided in which gene segments from ent human populations are used.
This is desirable to increase antibody gene diversity to better address more diverse human patients.
In an example, the gene segments are from first and second different human populations respectively, and thus the second gene segment is found in the second human population, but not so (or ) in the first human population. Rarely means, for example, that the gene segment is found in 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 or zero individuals in the first population in the 1000 Genomes se. For example, the first gene segment may be shown as present in a first population by reference to Table 13 or 14 herein, the second gene segment may be shown as present in the second population by nce to Table 13 and not in the first population. Optionally, the first gene segment may also be shown as being present in the second population by reference to Table 13 or 14.
In any uration or aspect of the invention, where a V gene segment is used, this may be used optionally with the native leader sequence. For example, use of genomic DNA (eg, from BACs as in the examples) will mean that the native leader will be used for each V gene t incorporated into the locus and genomes of the invention. In an alternative, the skilled person may wish to inert a non-native leader sequence together with one or more of the V gene segments. Similarly, in any configuration or aspect of the invention, where a V gene segment is used, this may be used optionally with the native 5’ UTR sequence. For example, use of genomic DNA (eg, from BACs as in the es) will mean that the native 5’ UTR sequence will be used for each V gene segment incorporated into the locus and genomes of the ion. In an alternative, the skilled person may wish to exclude the native 5’ UTR sequence. i ‘ ' e inafirst confi ura n PCT/G82012/052296 (a) Superhuman heavy chain gene repertoires A non-human vertebrate or vertebrate cell (optionally an ES cell or antibody-producing cell) comprising a genome having a superhuman immunoglobulin heavy chain human VH and/or D and/or J gene repertoire.

Based on a study identifying 190,562 human genetic variants this site catalogues genomic variants with useful features for searching and izing data.
It is possible to identify variants in globulin genes classed as low-frequency or rare variants that segregate with specific human ethnic populations. For the purpose of this analysis, a low- frequency immunoglobulin gene segment is classed as one with ’Minor Allele Frequency’ (MAF) (cumulative frequency) of between 0.5% - 5%, rare variants are those classed as having a MAF of less than 0.5% in a ular human population.
PCT/G32012/052296 The ing bioinformatics protocol is envisaged to indentify human immunoglobulin gene segments for use in the present invention: (a) Identify one or more genomic regions containing gene segments of interest (’target genomic regions’) and ate the c coordinates, using coordinates that match the sequence assembly build used by either the 1000 Genomes t or International HapMap t (or another selected human gene database of ). (b) Identify genomic variants mapped to the genomic regions previously identified in (a). ve variant frequencies for variants for each super tion and preferably sub- population where such data is available. Tools readily available on the HapMap WWW site and the VWC tools for the 10006enomes Project are useful for this step. (c) Filter list of genomic variants from target genomic regions to contain only variants classed as either ’Non-synonymous’ single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or genomic ’insertions or delections’ (indels). Filter further to include those that are present in exonic sequences only. (d) ate population frequency data for each of the identified variants for each of the super populations (for e 'European Ancestry’, 'East Asian ancestry', ’West African ancestrV, 'Americas’, and ’South Asian ancestry’) to identify those variants that segregate with less than two super-populations. Further correlate all identified variants with each of the sub- populations (for example, ’European ancestry’ super—population might be subdivided into groups such as ’CEU — Utah residents with Northern or Western European ancestry’, 'TSI Toscani in Italia’ and ’British from England and Scotland’) and produce a second score for rarity of variants in within a super—population. (e) Collect one or more gene segments that show segregation to specific pulations for construction of tic loci according to the invention.
In one embodiment throughout the present text, "germline" refers to the canonical germline gene segment sequence.
By detailed analysis of the 1000 Genomes database, the inventors have d a collection of candidate polymorphic antibody gene segment variants, eg, human variant JH gene segments (eg, see Example 4), that can be built into the design of transgenic heavy chain loci in mice for expressing increasingly diverse and new, synthetic oires of human variable regions. To this end, the invention provides the ing embodiments. seninvn‘ ' ‘ r i -mVr _'i a As explained above, in designing transgenic Ig heavy chain loci the present ors have considered the huge amount of data available from the 1000 Genomes project (see Wthatanalyses gene distributions amongst many human populations, and in particular data on lg gene segments. The inventors were also aware of human gene ts disclosed in the IMGT database (seeW and in Ensembl (see www.ensembl.org). The inventors needed to make choices about which human gene segments to include t the large number of human gene segments presented in these databases and the other sources of human lg gene segment information known in the art, ing those other databases sed . When choosing human JH gene segments, the inventors were aware that human JH6 encodes a relatively long amino acid sequence, and thus the inventors thought it desirable to include this for increasing the chances of producing lgH chains with relatively long HCDR3 regions. dies with long HCDR3 (at least 20 amino acids according to IMGT nomenclature) have been shown to neutralise a variety of pathogens effectively including HIV, Influenza virus, malaria and Africa trypanosomes. Reference is also made to naturally-occurring Camelid (eg, llama or camel) heavy chain-only antibodies which bear long HCDR3S for reaching relatively inaccessible epitopes (see, eg, EP0937140). Long HCDR3$ can form unique stable subdomains with extended loop structure that towers above the antibody WO 41844 PCT/G82012/052296 surface to confer fine specificity. In some cases, the long HCDR3 itself is sufficient for epitope binding and neutralization (Liu, L et al; Journal of Virology. 2011. 85: 8467-8476, incorporated herein by reference). The unique structure of the long HCDR3 allows it to bind to cognate epitopes within inaccessible structure or extensive glycosylation on a pathogen e. In human peripheral blood, there is around 3.5% of naive B antibodies or 1.9% of memory 8 lgG antibodies containing the HCDR3s with lengths of more than 24 amino acids (PLoS One. 2012;7(5):e36750. Epub 2012 May 9; “Human peripheral blood antibodies with long HCDR3s are established primarily at original recombination using a limited subset of germline genes”,- Briney BS 9 of, incorporated herein by reference) (Fig. 1). The usage analysis indicates that these antibodies have the preference to use human JH6 with human 02-2, D3-3 or D2-15 (Brinley, BS et 0/, Figs. 2-5). See also PLoS One. 2011 Mar 30;6(3):e16857; Comparison of antibody repertoires produced by HIV-1 infection, other chronic and acute infections, and ic autoimmune disease”; Breden F et al, incorporated herein by reference. Around 20% of all HCDR3 of antibodies use JH6. r, in those antibodies with HCDR3 of more than 24 amino acids, 70% use JH6 (Brinley, BS et 0/, Fig.2).
There is a need in the art for cally ed non-human vertebrates and cells that can make antibodies and heavy chains that have long human HCDR3S, as well as antibodies, chains and VH domains that can be selected from such vertebrates and cells wherein these can address target epitopes better ed by long .
The inventors, therefore, chose in this configuration of the invention to include a human JH6 gene segment as a mandatory human gene t in their IgH locus design. Several different natural|y~ occurring human JH6 variants are known (eg, JH6*01 to *04 as well as others; IMGT nomenclature).
The inventors considered this when deciding upon which human JH6 variant should be included in the transgenic IgH locus design. An ent of some human JH6 variants is shown in Figure 7 (fromW dashes indicate identical tides; nucleotide changes versus the *01 variant are shown by underlined nucleotides and corresponding amino acid changes are shown by underlined amino acids; Genbank accession numbers se 185.0) are shown prefixed byJ, X, M or A). The ors used sequencing of human genomic DNA samples, inspection of public igH DNA databases as well as informed choices on the basis of variant sequences as means to arrive at a rational choice of which JH6 variant to use.
PCT/G32012/052296 The 1000 Genomes se uses human JH6*O3 as the reference sequence, which would be a possible choice for the skilled person wishing to construct a transgenic lgH locus. The inventors noticed (eg, Figure 7 herein) that position 6 in JH6*03 is a tyrosine (Y) encoded by a TAC codon, whereas some other naturally-occurring human variants have a glycine (G) encoded by a GGT codon (the glycine being present as a YYG motif, forming part of a larger YYGXDX motif). To understand the ial significance of this, the inventors carried out analysis of JH sequences from other vertebrate species. The inventors surprisingly noticed that YYG and YYGXDX motifs are conserved across many vertebrate species (see Figures 7 & 8). This suggested to the ors, therefore, that preservation of this motif might be desirable, which could guide the choice ofJH6 variant for use in the present invention.
Another pointer arose when the ors considered the TAC codon versus the GGT codon encoding Y or 6 respectively. The inventors considered the impact of these tide sequences on the action of activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID). The inventors knew that activationv induced cytidine deaminase (AID) is believed to initiate lg somatic hypermutation (SH M) in a multi- step ism and they addressed this activity when rationally designing the locus. AID catalyses the deamination of C to U in DNA, ting mutations at C bases. Cytidines d within hotspot motifs are preferentially ated. Certain motifs are hotspots for AID acitivity (DGYW,m w,w, RGYW, AGY,m WGCW, wherein W=A or T, Y=C or T, D=A, G or T, H:A or C or T, and R=A or G). The presence of a TAC codon encoding Y at position 6 in JH6*03 s AID mutation hotspots (the cytidine being the substrate of AID), these hotspots being the underlined motifs in the previous sentence. The inventors considered the impact of this and in doing so they considered possible mutants created by AID activity at the cytidine. Reference is made to Figure 9. The inventors noticed that a mutation at the third base of the TAC codon would yield 3 possible outcomes: Y, stop or stop. Thus, out of the three stop codons possible in the genetic code (the other being encoded by TGA u see Figure 9), two of them would be provided by mutation of the cytidine in the TAC codon ng position 6 in JH6*03. The inventors, therefore, considered that this might increase the chances of non-productive lgH variable region production in transgenic loci based on JH6*03. Moreover, the inventors noticed that ion of a GGT codon d (as per the other human JH6 variants) seemed preferable since mutation of the third base would never yield a stop codon (see Figure 9), and furthermore would retain coding, and thus conservation, of glycine at position 6, which the ors also d was is in the YYG and YYGXDX motifs conserved across species.
PCT/G82012/052296 Having decided against using JH6*03, the inventors needed to make a choice from other possible human variants. The MDV motif is at the C-terminus of HCDR3 based on human JH6, the adjacent framework 4 (FW4) starting with the WGQ motif (with reference to the sequence shown encoded by JH6*01; Figure 7). In making their choices for locus design, the inventors wished to maximise conservation of this HCDR3/FW4 junction in product lgH chains and antibodies including these. The inventors believed this to be ble for heavy chain variable domain functionality and conformation. The inventors thought that this might in some cases be desirable to minimise immunogenicity (suitable for human ceutical use). tent with these considerations, the inventors wanted to make a choice that would minimise mutation around the HCDR3/FW4 junction as a result of SHM in vivo to conserve junction configuration. See Rogozin & Diaz; "Cutting Edge: DGYW/WRCH Is a Better Predictor of Mutability at G:C Bases in lg Hypermutation Than the Widely Accepted RGYW/WRCY Motif and Probably Reflects a Two-Step Activation-Induced Cytidine Deaminase-Triggered Process”; Journal of logy; March 15, 2004 vol. 172 no. 6 3382-3384.
An example of a DGYW motif is GGCA. The inventors had this in mind when analysing the variant sequences.
With these considerations in mind, the ors decided specifically to use human JH6*02 as the mandatory human JH6 for their lgH locus design. JH6*01 was ed as the mandatory JH6 gene segment since the tide sequence GGG CAA ing G and Q) contains a GGCA motif which is an AID recognition hotspot. The ors realised that JH6*04 also contains such a motif due to the presence of the ce GGC AAA encoding G and K (positions 11 and 12 respectively). The inventors also realised that the *02 variant has a C instead of a G that is in the *01 variant, the C desirably being a synonymous change (ie, not changing the encoded amino acid sequence around the CDR3/FW4junction) and also this does not provide a GGCA AID hotspot motif. The inventors, ore, decided that the mandatoryJH6 should have this C base and this too pointed them to using the human JH6*02 variant. in one example of any configuration of the invention , the only JH6 species included in the locus or genome is human JH6*02.
The inventors ed 9 anonymised DNA samples from cheek swabs of 9 ting human adults.
Sequencing was performed on lgH locus DNA to confirm natural JH6 variant usage. It was found that the genome of all 9 humans contained a JH6*02 variant gene segment. In 7 out of the 9 humans, the genome was homozygous for JH6*02 (ie, each chromosome 14 had JH6*02 as its JH6 gene t in the IgH . The inventors also inspected the publicly-available sequence information from the genomes of well-known scientists Craig Venter and Jim . Both of these genomes contain JH6*02 too. This ted to the inventors that this variant is common in humans.
So, the inventors made a choice of human JH6*02 on the basis of (i) Containing the W6 and YYGXDX motifs that is conserved across several vertebrate species; (ii) Provision of one less TAC codon (an AID hotspot that risks stop codons) and a choice instead of a codon that preserves the W6 and YYGXDX ; (iii) Avoidance of a GGCA AID hotspot in the region of the HCDR3/FW4 junction; and (iv) Common occurrence (and thus conservation and acceptability) in humans of the JH6*02 variant.
This rationale was tested by the inventors in laboratory examples, in order to see if human JH6*02 could desirably ipate in antibody gene segment ination and heavy chain production in a foreign (non—human vertebrate) setting, and moreover to assess if long HCDR3S based on human JH6*02 could be produced in vivo (in naive and immunised settings) in such non-human systems. It was noted that in some non-human settings, such as a mouse, the W6 and YYGXDX motifs are not conserved, and thus the inventors decided that it was important to test r or not JH6*02 (having the W6 and YYGXDX motifs) could function properly in such a foreign setting to participate in VDJ recombination and selection against antigen.
Thus, as explained further in the examples, the inventors constructed transgenic JH6‘OZ-containing IgH loci in ES cells, generated transgenic man vertebrates from the ES cells (both naive and immunised with a range of different target n types), isolated antibodies and heavy chain sequences based on JH6*02 as well as B-cells expressing these and made hybridomas expressing antigen-specific antibodies that are based on the chosen JH6*02 variant. The inventors found that the JH6*02 variant was extensively used and could contribute to the production of HCDR3 of at least PCT/GBZOIZ/052296 amino acids in many ent heavy chains (including antigen-specific heavy chains). The chosen variant was preferably used over other JH gene segments in all settings (naive, immunised and antigen-specific) for the production of HCDR3 of at least 20 amino acids.
Thus, the present invention provides an lgH locus including human JH6*02 (IMGT nomenclature) as a mandatory JH gene segment. In one embodiment, the locus comprises non-human vertebrate (eg, mouse or rat) constant region gene segments downstream (ie, 3‘ of) the human JH6*02; and one or more VH gene segments (eg, a plurality of human VH gene segments) and one or more D gene segments (eg, a plurality of human D gene segments) upstream of (ie, 5’ of) the human JH6*02. For example, the locus is comprised by a vector (eg, a DNA vector, eg, a yeast artificial chromosome (YAC), BAC or PAC). Such a vector (eg, YAC) can be introduced into a non-human vertebrate (eg, mouse or rat) cell using standard ques (eg, pronuclear ion) so that the locus is integrated into the cell genome for expression of lgH chains comprising at least one chain whose le domain is a product of the ination of human JH6*02 with a VH and a D gene segment.
In another example, the locus (eg, with a tely human, rat or mouse nt region, or a human/mouse chimaeric constant region) can be provided in the genome of a non—human vertebrate (eg, mouse or rat) cell. For example, the cell is an ES cell or an antibody-producing cell (eg, an isolated B—cell, an iPS cell or a oma).
In another example, the invention provides a non-human vertebrate (eg, a mouse or a rat) comprising an lgH locus of the invention which comprises a human JH6*02 gene segment, wherein the locus can s an lgH chain whose variable domain is a product of the recombination of human JH6*02 with a VH and a D gene segment. As shown in the examples, the inventors have successfully produced such mice which produce such lgH chains with VH domains based on human JH6*02. The inventors isolated and sequenced lgH chains from the mice before (naive) and after (immunised) exposure to a range of target antigens and confirmed by comparison to IMGT lgH gene segment sequences that the ed chains (and antibodies containing these) were produced based on JH6*02. Such chains were found in naive mice, as well as in antigen-specific dies from immunised mice. B-cells were isolated from immunised mice, wherein the B-cells express antibodies based on JH6*02 and omas were generated from the B-cells, the hybridomas expressing antigen-Specific dies based on JH6*02. The inventors, therefore, provided the locus, vertebrate, cell and hybridoma of the invention based on the use of human JH6*02 and showed that antibodies based on JH6*02 and B-cells expressing these can be successfully produced and isolated following immunisation of the rates, corresponding hybridomas being a good source of antibodies whose VH domains are based on , eg for administration to a patient, eg, for human medicine. Furthermore, it was found possible to produce and isolated antigen—specific antibodies whose VH domains are based on JH6*02 and which had a relatively long HCDR3 (eg, 20 amino acids).
Thus, the present invention provides ments as in the following clauses:— 1. A non-human vertebrate (optionally a mouse or a rat) or vertebrate cell whose genome comprises an immunoglobulin heavy chain locus comprising human gene segment JH6*02, one or more VH gene segments and one or more D gene segments upstream of a constant region; wherein the gene segments in the heavy chain locus are operably linked to the constant region f so that the mouse is capable of producing an antibody heavy chain produced by recombination of the human JH6*02 with a 0 segment and a VH segment.

This can be provided, for e, wherein VH domain is produced in a mouse comprising mouse AID and/or mouse TdT (eg, endogenous AID or TdT).

Constant Re i ' n T i t Huma Humanisat' PCT/GBZOIZ/052296 Additional rational design and bioinformatics has led the ors to realise that specific human constant region variants are conserved across many diverse human populations. The inventors realised that this opens up the possibility of making a choice to humanise antibodies, chains and variable domains by using such specific nt regions in products, rather than arbitrarily choosing the human constant region (or a synthetic version of a human constant region). This aspect of the invention also enables one to tailor antibody-based drugs to specific human ethnic populations, thereby more closely matching drug to patient (and thus e setting) than has to been performed. It can be a problem in the state of the art that dies are humanised with an ary choice of human nt region (presumably d from one (often unknown) ethnic population or non-naturally ing) that does not function as well in patients of a different human ethnic population. This is important, since the constant region has the major role in providing antibody effector functions, eg, for antibody recycling, ar and complement recruitment and for cell killing.
As discussed r in W02011066501, human IgG sub-types lgGl, IgGZ, gGB and lgG4 exhibit differential capacity to recruit immune functions, such as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC, e.g., lgGl and IgG3), antibody—dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP, e.g., IgG], IgGZ, IgGB and lgG4), and complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC, e.g., IgGl, igGB). Sub-type-specific engagement of such immune functions is based on selectivity for Fc receptors on distinct immune cells and the ability to bind Clq and activate the assembly of a membrane attack complex (MAC).
Among the various types, relative affinity for FcY receptors (e.gi, FcYRI, FcYRIIa/b/c, FcYRllla/b) is high for lgGl and lgG3, however, there is minimal affinity for lgGZ (restricted to the FcYRIIa 131H polymorphism), and IgG4 only has able affinity for FcYRI. Using comparative sequence analysis and co-crystal structures, the key contact residues for receptor binding have been mapped to the amino acid residues spanning the lower hinge and CH2 region. Using standard protein engineering techniques, some success in enhancing or reducing the affinity of an antibody preparation for Fc ors and the Clq component ofcomplement has been achieved.
Among the isotypes, lgGZ is least capable of binding the family of Fc ors. Using IgGZ as the starting point, efforts have been made to find a mutant with diminished effector functions but which retains FcRn binding, ged stability, and low immunogenicity. Improved mutants of this nature may provide improved antibody therapeutics with retained safety. Human IgGl therapeutic PCT/GBZOIZ/052296 antibodies that bind to cell surface targets are able to engage effector cells that may mediate cell lysis of the target cell by antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) or complement ent cytotoxicity (CDC). These mechanisms occur through interaction ofthe CH2 region of the antibody Fc domain to FcyR receptors on immune effector cells or with Clq, the first component of the complement cascade. Table 19 shows the activities of ent human gamma sub—types. The skilled person may choose accordingly to promote or dampen-down activity depending upon the disease setting in humans of interest. For example, use of a human 1 constant region is desirable when one wishes to isolated totally human heavy chains and antibodies that have relatively high complement tion activity by the classical pathway and FcYRl recognition in human patients. See also Mol Immunol. 2003 (9):585—93; “Differential binding to human chamma Rlla and chamma Rllb receptors by human lgG wild type and mutant antibodies",- Armour KL et al, which is incorporated herein by nce.
IgGZ constant regions are well suited to producing antibodies and heavy chains according to the invention for binding to cytokines or soluble targets in humans, since lgGZ is essentially FcYRI,|II- silent, a—active and has little Complement activity.
IgGl constant regions have wide utility for human therapeutics, since IgGl antibodies and heavy chains are ll,l|l- active and have complement activity. This can be enhanced by using a human gamma-1 constant region that has been activated by engineering as is known in the art.
The work of the inventors has therefore identified a collection of human constant region of different isotypes from which an informed choice can be made when humanising chimaeric antibody chains (or conjugating V s, such as dAbs or Came/id VH H, to constant regions). The collection was identified on the basis of bioinformatics analysis of the 1000 Genomes database, the ors selecting constant region variants that are frequently occurring across several human ethnic populations, as well as those that appear with relatively high frequency within individual populations (as assessed by the number of individuals whose genomes comprise the variant). By sorting through the myriad possible sequences on this basis, the ors have ed a collection of human constant region ts that are naturally-occuring and which can be used when rationally designing PCT/GBZOIZ/052296 dies, heavy chains and other antibody-based formats that bear a human constant region. In particular, this is useful when humanising chimaeric heavy chains to produce totally human chains in which both the variable and constant regions are human. This is useful for compatibility with human patients receiving antibody-based drugs.
To this end, the invention provides the following aspects:- 1. A method of producing an antibody heavy chain, the method comprising (a) providing an antigen-specific heavy chain variable domain (eg, VH (such as a human VH or dAb) or VHH or a humanised heavy chain le domain); and (b) combining the variable domain with a human heavy chain constant region to produce an antibody heavy chain sing (in N- to C-terminal direction) the variable domain and the constant ; wherein the human heavy chain constant region is an f, IGHAla, IGHAZa, IGHAZb, lGHGlref, ef, IGHGZa, IGHGBref, IGHGBa, IGHGSb, ef, iGHG4a, lGHDref, lGHEref, IGHMref, IGH Ma or IGHMb constant region.

Variants Prevalent in Few Populations PCT/GBZOIZ/052296 In another aspect, it is of note that certain human gene segment variants may appear relatively frequently in one or a small number of populations, but is not found prevalently across many different human populations. There is thinking that specific germline gene segment repertoires have evolved in dual human ethnic populations due to iterative exposure to antigens (eg, disease pathogen antigens) to which the population is often d. Repeated exposure and mutation may have lead to the evolution of gene segment variants that can provide an effective response to the antigen (pathogen) in the population, and this may explain the conservation of the gene ts in those populations (as d to other human ethnic populations that may not have frequently encountered the antigen). With this in mind, the inventors identified gene segment variants from their analysis that are relatively ent in a small number of human populations, and not across many populations. The inventors realized that inclusion of one or more of such gene segments in the configurations of the invention (eg, in transgenic lg loci, vertebrates and cells) would be useful for producing antibodies, lg chains and variable domains that can address antigens (eg, disease- g antigens or pathogens) to which the small number of human populations may become exposed. Such products would be useful for treating and/or preventing disease or medical conditions in members of such a population. This aspect could also be useful for sing infectious disease pathogens that may have been common in the small number of populations, but which in the future or relatively recently in evolution has become a more ent e-causing pathogen in other human populations (ie, those not listed in Table 13 against the gene segment variant(s) in question). To this end, from the 1000 Genomes database the inventors have identified the gene segment ts listed in Table 20.
Thus, ing to any configuration or aspect described herein, one, more or all of the gene segments used in the present ion can be a gene segment listed in Table 20A, 203, 20C or 20D.

The d person will realise that standard molecular biology ques can be used to provide vectors comprising synthetic ations of immunoglobulin gene segments (eg, V, D and/or J) for use in the invention, such that the vectors can be used to build a transgenic immunoglobulin locus (eg, using homologous recombination and/or recombinase mediated cassette exchange as known in the art, eg, see US7501552 (Medarex), US$939598 (Abgenix), 364 (Abgenix), W002/066630 (Regeneron), W02011004192 (Genome Research Limited), 076464, W02009143472 and W02010039900 (Ablexis), the disclosures of which are explicitly incorporated herein. For example, such synthetic combinations of gene segments can be made using standard recombineering techniques in E coli to construct BAC vectors harbouring the tic combination prior to insertion in embryonic stem cells using homologous recombination or RMCE (eg, using cre/on site-specific recombination). Details of ineering can be found at wwwgengbrigggscom and in EP1034260 and EP1204740 the disclosures of which are explicitly incorporated . in one embodiment, it is useful to bias the immune response of the vertebrate (and thus resultant lead antibodies) to a predetermined gene segment, eg, one known to be commonly used in natural human immune responses to antigens, such as antigens of infectious e pathogens. For example, VH1-69 is commonly used to produce antibodies in humans against Infulenza virus; it is possible, therefore, to include two or more polymorphic DNA versions of the VH segment VH1-69 in PCT/0820121052296 the locus of the invention. The examples below illustrate how such a transgenic locus can be constructed in which diversity is extended by extending the VH1-69 gene segment repertoire based on naturally-occurring VH1-69 polymorphic variants.
In one embodiment in any configuration of the invention, the genome has been ed to prevent or reduce the expression of fully-endogenous antibody. Examples of suitable techniques for doing this can be found in PCT/GBZOlO/051122, US7501552, U56673986, U56130364, W02009/076464, EP1399559 and U56586251, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. In one embodiment, the non-human rate V0] region of the endogenous heavy chain immunoglobulin locus, and optionally VJ region of the endogenous light chain immunoglobulin loci a and/or kappa loci), have been inactivated. For example, all or part of the non-human vertebrate VDJ region is vated by inversion in the nous heavy chain immunoglobulin locus of the mammal, optionally with the ed region being moved upstream or downstream of the nous lg locus (see, eg, w02011004192, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by nce). For example, all or part of the non-human vertebrate VJ region is inactivated by inversion in the nous kappa chain immunoglobulin locus of the mammal, optionally with the inverted region being moved upstream or downstream of the endogenous lg locus. For example, all or part of the non-human rate VJ region is inactivated by inversion in the endogenous lambda chain immunoglobulin locus of the mammal, optionally with the inverted region being moved upstream or downstream of the endogenous lg locus. In one ment the endogenous heavy chain locus is inactivated in this way as is one or both of the endogenous kappa and lambda loci.
Additionally or alternatively, the vertebrate has been generated in a genetic background which prevents the production of mature host B and T lymphocytes, optionally a RAG-l-deficient and/or RAG-2 deficient background. See US$859301 for techniques of generating RAG—1 deficient animals.
Thus, in one embodiment of any configuration or aspect of the invention herein, endogenous heavy and light chain expression has been inactivated.

‘II'EE EEIl'lE‘ Ei'fi The inventors, having undertaken the extensive Bioinformatics analysis exercise described herein, realised that the output of that analysis has made it possible to identify specific gene segments that are useful to produce antibody- and VH domain—based drugs that are tailored specifically to a patient’s ancestry (ie, genotype). That is, antibodies can be selected on the basis that they are made in vivo in a transgenic non-human rate (eg, mouse or rat with transgenic lgH loci) and ularly derived from gene segments that are relatively prevalent in members ofthe patient’s population, ie, from duals of the same human ancestry. Since variant distributions differ across different populations (see Table 13), this ably reflects the s of evolution, adaptation and conservation of useful variant gene types in those populations. Thus, by tailoring the antibody- based drugs according to the invention, it is possible to match the drug to the population gene , thus with the aim of making better drugs for that specific population of humans. Better can, for example, mean more efficacious, better neutralising, higher target antigen affinity, less immunogenic, less patient reactions to the drug etc. This can be ined empirically, as is standard in drug research and development processes.

The present invention is described in more detail in the following non limiting prophetic Examples, mums.
EXAMPLE 1 "Recombineered BAC Vectors to add Polymorphic V-regions to the Mouse Genome" Figure 1 h 3 depict recombineering methods (see references above) that can be used to uce polymorphic V-gene regions into genomic DNA. In one embodiment, a genomic fragment from the human heavy chain region is inserted into a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) vector by standard techniques. ably, such a BAC, which can range in size from 20-kb to ZOO-kb or more, can be isolated from libraries of BACs by standard techniques ing sequence searches of commercially ble libraries or by hybridization to bacterial colonies containing BACs to identify those with a BAC of interest.
A BAC is chosen that has several VH gene segments; in Figure 1, these are generically identified as VH[a] through VH[z] for example. One skilled in the art will readily identify appropriate genomic fragments, for example, an approximately 120-kb fragment from human VHS-78 through VH1-68 which includes 5 endogenous active VH gene segments and 7 VH psuedogenes. Using recombineering techniques, the endogenous Vl-l gene segments can be replaced by rphic VH or VL gene segments. In this example, two steps are required. The first step replaces the V-region coding exon of an endogenous VH gene segment with a positive-negative selection operon, in this example, an operon encoding an ampicillin resistance gene (Amp) and a streptomycin-sensitizing ribosomal protein (rpsL). Certain strains of ia can be ed for the absence of the rpsL gene by ance to streptomycin. Short stretches of DNA homologous to sequences flanking the PCT/GBZOl2/052296 endogenous VH gene exon are placed 5’ and 3' of the rpsL-Amp operon. In the presence of riate recombination factors per standard recombineering ques (see references above) recombination between the operon fragment and the BAC will result in replacement of the endogenous VH gene exon with the operon (Figure 1a) which are selected by resistance to llin. The second step uses the same homologous sequences in order to replace the inserted operon with a desired polymorphic VH gene segment. In this example, a human VH1-69 gene is inserted (Figure 1b and 1c). In particular the *02 t of VH1-69 is used [ref IMGT and Figure 5].
Successful integrations of the polymorphic VH gene segment are selected in bacteria that become resistant to streptomycin due to the loss of the operon, specifically the rpsL n.
In this example, the two step process as described can be repeated for each of the nous VH gene segments or for as many endogenous gene segments that one wishes to replace with polymorphic V gene segments (Figure 1d).
As is apparent, any polymorphic V gene segment can be inserted in this manner and any endogenous V gene t can act as a target, including pseudogenes. V gene segments in each of the heavy chain and two light chain loci can be replaced using this technique with appropriate genomic fragments available as BAC inserts.
Figure 2 depicts another method for creating a genomic nt encoding polymorphic V gene segments. In this example, polymorphic V gene segments are ed into a region of c DNA devoid of other genes, control elements or other functions. Such ’desert‘ regions can be selected based on sequence analysis and corresponding DNA fragments cloned into BACs or identified in existing BAC libraries. Starting with such a genomic fragment, ineering techniques can be used to insert polymorphic V gene segments at intervals of, for example, 10-kb. In this example, a 150-kb genomic fragment might odate insertion of up to 15 polymorphic V gene segments.
Insertion of the segments is a two-step process. The first recombineering step inserts the rpsL-Amp operon at a specific site. Sequences homologous to a specific site are used to flank the operon.
These are used by the recombineering system to insert the element ically into the BAC genomic fragment and positive events are selected by resistance to ampicillin (Figure 2a). The second step replaces the operon in the genomic fragment with a polymorphic V gene segment by a r recombineering step using the same sequence homology (Figure 2b). In this example, both exons and promoter element of a polymorphic VH gene segment are inserted, resulting in replacement of the rpsL-Amp operon and therefore resistance to streptomycin (Figure 2c).
The two step technique for inserting polymorphic V gene ts into a specific site on the genomic fragment can be repeated multiple times resulting in a BAC genomic fragment with several polymorphic gene ts, including their promoter elements. It is apparent that the examples shown in Figures 1 and 2 can be combined wherein the technique for ion can be used to add extra polymorphic V gene segments to a BAC genomic fragment as depicted in Figure 1. One might choose to add these extra segments to an IG genomic fragment since such a fragment would be more amenable to proper IG gene expression once inserted into a non-human mammal’s genome. It is known that a genomic fragment can have elements such as enhancers or elements that contribute to certain tin conformations, both important in ype gene sion.
Figure 3 depicts an additional method to create genomic fragments with polymorphic V gene segments. This method depends upon the efficiency with which short (around 50 to 150 bases, preferably 100 bases) single stranded DNA fragments recombine with a homologous sequence using recombineering (Nat Rev Genet. 2001 Oct;2(10):769—79; Recombineering: a powerful new tool for mouse functional genomics; Copeland NG, Jenkins NA, Court DL). The recombinases used in recombineering preferentially bind and use such short single—stranded fragments of DNA as a substrate for initiating homologous recombination. The efficiency can be as high as 10-2, that is, a positive event can be found in approximately 100 randomly picked (not ed) clones resulting from recombineering. A positive event in this example occurring when one or more single nucleotide changes introduced into the single—stranded fragment get transferred to the BAC insert containing V gene segments and nding genomic DNA, said nucleotide change or s occurring at a homologous sequence on the BAC.
Polymorphic V gene segments can differ from endogenous V gene segments by only 1 or 2, or up to or 15 nucleotide changes, for example. An example of such nucleotide polymorphisms are depicted in Figure 5. Short single stranded regions that encompass the rphic nucleotide changes can be chemically sized using standard techniques. The ing single stranded DNA fragments are introduced into bacteria and via recombineering techniques approximately 1 in 100 BAC fragments will have incorporated the polymorphic nucleotides w‘a gous incorporation of the single stranded fragment (Figure 3a). BACs with the desired nucleotide change can be identified by screening for example several hundred individual clones by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and sequencing, both by standard techniques. In the example, two nucleotide changes will convert a *01 gene segment into a VH1-69*02 gene segment (Figure 3b).
It is clear that this s can be repeated for multiple endogenous V gene segments contained on a single BAC genomic fragment. In addition, the techniques depicted in Figure 2 can be used to add additional polymorphic V gene segments by insertion into regions n existing V gene segments. As would be t to one d in the art, a combination of these techniques can be used to create numerous variations of both polymorphic and endogenous human V gene ts.
And it would be evident that several different genomic nts with engineered polymorphic V gene ts and endogenous human V gene segments can be combined to create even more variations.
EXAMPLE 2 ”Adding Polymorphic ons to the Genome using SRMCE of Modified BACs" Modified BACs with polymorphic V gene segments created using the methods described in e 1 can be used to alter the genome of non—human mammals. These alterations can result in an intact IG locus in which normal immunoglobin region recombination results in VDJ or VJ combinations which includes the human V gene segments. An example of how such an animal can be created is by altering the genome of, for example, mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells using the strategy outlined in Figure 4.
One technique to integrate modified BACs with polymorphic V gene segments into a genome is sequential recombinase mediated cassette exchange (SRMCE). The technique is described in W02011004192 e Research Limited), which is incorporated here in its entirety by reference.
PCT/GBZOIZ/052296 SRMCE es for a locus ed with a ’landing pad’ inserted at a specific location. This insertion can either be de novo via homologous recombination or as a consequence of a us BAC insertion. In this example, the landing pad is ed in the mouse IGH locus n the most 3' J gene segment and the Cu gene segment and a previous BAC insertion via SRMCE ques have resulted in the addition of 5 human V gene segments and 2 V region pseudogenes. The landing pad has elements as shown in Figure 4 that will allow the selection of correct insertion of a second targeting BAC fragment. The specificity of this insertion is provided by cre recombinase-mediated exchange between permissive on sites. A on site is permissive for recombination only with a compatible lox site. In this example, the loxP site will only recombine with ioxP and on2272 will only recombine with on2272. This es directionality to the ion of the BAC fragment as depicted in Figure 4b and 4c.
ES cell clones with correct insertions are selected from a pool of clones without insertions or with non-productive insertions by resistance to puromycin. ance to puromycin results from the juxtaposition of an active promoter element, PGK, with the puroTK coding region. Correct insertions are verified by rd techniques including PCR of junctions, PCR of internal elements, Southern blotting, ative genomic hybridization (CGH), sequencing and etc. In the example, correct I0x2272—lox2272 and loxP-loxP recombination also results in two intact sets of piggyBac elements that did not exist prior to insertion. An intact piggyBac element is comprised of a set of inverted repeats which are depicted in the figure by "PBS’" and ”P33”. An appropriated ed set of piggyBac elements are the substrate of piggyBac transposase which can catalyse recombination between the elements, resulting in deletion of intervening sequences as well as both elements. The DNA remaining after a piggyBac transposition is left intact and is lacking any remnant of the piggyBac element. In the example, ES cell clones with successful piggyBac transposition are selected by loss of the active puroTK element which renders the cells resistant to the drug FIAU (Figure 4c and 4d).
The final product of the SRMCE method in this example is a IGH locus with several polymorphic V gene segments inserted along with a set of endogenous unmodified VH gene segments between sequences of the mouse genome on the 5’ side and the mouse IGH constant region gene segments on the 3‘ side. The polymorphic V gene ts are positioned such that they can ipate in the recombination events associated with B cell maturation yielding VDJ gene segments. These gene PCT/GBZOIZ/052296 segments can then be transcribed and spliced to the mouse nt region. ation of these ripts will result in the production of an antibody heavy chain encoded by the polymorphic V gene segment, a human DH gene segment, a human JH gene segment and a mouse constant heavy chain gene segment.
As is well known to those skilled in the art, an ES cell clone can be used to create a line of genetically modified mice via injection of said cells into a mouse blastocyst embryo, erring the injected embryo to a suitable recipient and breeding the chimeric offspring that result. The modified gene locus can be propagated through breeding and made either zygous or homozygous depending on the genetic cross.
It is evident from the structure of the IGH locus provided in this e and by knowledge of the mechanisms involved in B cell receptor (BCR) and antibody gene rearrangements that a large set of different combinations of polymorphic V gene segments with various DH and JH gene segments will result and these can contribute to a large repertoire of functional antibody genes in a population of B cells in genetically ed animals. In this example, several different human VH 1-69 polymorphs are incorporated to provide superhuman VH diversity. This ular VH gene segment is known to be ent in antibodies that bind infectious disease pathogens (such as influenza virus) and therefore the antibody repertoire of a mouse with the genetic modification of this example would be ed to produce antibodies with a bias in favour of those that bind infectious disease pathogens. The repertoire, in other words, would have a larger subset of antibodies with superior ties for pathogen antigens. Examples of such pathogens include influenza virus, hepatitis C virus {HCV} and human immunodeficiency virus—1 ) (see also table above).
EXAMPLE 3 ”Alignment of 13 VH1—69 Alleles” Building a more diverse antibody oire by incorporating additional V gene segment polymorphs requires availability of polymorphic variants of V gene segments. One source of such variants include sequence databases. In this example, 13 distinct variants of the VH1-69 gene segment are provided.
PCT/GB2012l052296 These variant sequences and comparisons are drawn from the "IMmunoGeneTics" IMGT Information System (www.imgt.com) database. Figure 5 is a diagram of the alignment of variants ‘02 through *13 with the *01 variant. The VH1»69*01 nucleotide and amino acid sequence is provided at the top of the figure. Where the remaining variants are identical to the *01 variant sequence a dash is inserted below the sequence. Nucleotide ences are noted alongside the riate t and if the sequence change results in a protein coding change, the amino acid change is ted above the triplet.
Figure 5 s between 1 and 4 amino acid changes for each variant in comparison to the *01 variant. All of the amino acid changes occur in the part of the heavy chain protein encoding the mentarity determining regions (CDRs). These s are responsible for antigen specificity and the affinity of the antibody for the antigen. It is evident that providing additional polymorphic CDRs in a repertoire of antibodies will increase the likelihood of there being an antibody with superior g characteristics for various antigens. In several reports, it has been observed that the VH1encoded variable region ofthe heavy chain is often found in antibodies that bind influenza virus, HCV and HlV-l antigens (see table above). Therefore incorporating the polymorphic V gene segments of this e into a transgenic animal model using the methods of Examples 1 and 2 would likely result in an antibody repertoire in said enic animal with more dies that bind to antigens associated with these and other ens. And as is known in the art, a larger repertoire increases the probability of finding monoclonal antibodies using, for example, hybridoma technology, that bind with high affinity and specificity to a desired antigen.
This disclosure therefore describes in these examples a transgenic mouse model which can be immunized with pathogen or other antigens. Plasma B cells from such an immunized mouse can be used to make a hybridoma library that can be ed for production of dies that bind the pathogen antigens. This library will be superior to libraries from traditional transgenic mice for finding such antibodies given the addition of polymorphic VH1-69 gene segments to the IGH locus in said enic mouse.
These examples are not limiting to the human polymorphic V gene segments that can be chosen or to the methods used to introduce them into an animal model. The method can be used to construct a transgenic locus with immunoglobulin D and/or] segments. The V, 0,] segments can be from a plurality of human sources (optionally more than one human ethnic population).
PCT/G82012/052296 EXAMPLE 4 Data is presented for human 1H2, 5 and 6 variants. In Tables 10A, 11A and 12A samples from humans from various populations are listed where the ce analysis of the ors has revealed the presence of polymorphisms in one or both IgH JH alleles. The population codes are explained in Table 8 above. The polymorphisms are nucleotide variants from Hz, 5 and 6 reference sequences (SEQ ID NOS: 1, 2 and 3 respectively; see below). All references are sequences taken from the Ensembl database (www.ensembl.org). The JHS reference is human IgH 15-001 disclosed in that database. The JH6 reference is human IgH 16—001 disclosed in that database. The JHZ nce is human 001 disclosed in that database.
The reference nucleotide and encoded amino acid sequences are shown on the next page.
Alignments with encoded amino acid sequences are also provided, including the corresponding position numbers on human chromosome 14. t Frequencies are shown in Tables 10A, 11A and 12A and these relate to the frequency of the variants in the 1000 Genomes Database se current at October 2011).
Tables 108, 113 and IZB show the nonymous nucleotide polymorphisms in the human JH variants, as sorted by the present inventors from the 1000 Genomes database. Position s corresponding to tide positions on human chromosome 14 are shown for variant positions (chromosome 14 being the chromosome bearing the IgH locus in humans). Thus, for example, the first entry in Table 118 is ”14:106330027zA/C" which refers to a position in a variant JH5 sequence wherein the position corre5ponds to position 106,330,027 on human chromosome 14, such position being A (adenine) in the reference sequence. The "C" indicates that the present inventors observed a mutation to cytosine at this position in the variants found in the 1000 Genomes data base. This change leads to a change at the amino acid level of the encoded sequence (ie, a ynonymous" change), in this case a change from a serine (found in the reference) to an alanine in the variant.
Example 5: The genomic coding region coordinates for each target gene for variant analysis were fied from the Ensembl WWW site (www.ensembl.orgi using coordinates from the GRCh.p8 Human Genome assembly (yaw.my.nlm.nih.ggx‘grgiggslgenomelassemblx‘gm. Using the collected gene location coordinates, variant data was extracted from the public ftp site of the 1000 s Project using the Perl ’Variant Pattern Finder’ (VPF —WW finder-agi—documentationl.
Data extracted by VPF was post processed using software to extract all non—synonymous (NSS) variants with their associated genotype calls. Genotypes calls were assembled to form unique haplotypes, representing groups of N55 variants associated with 1000 Genome population groups and frequency of occurrence within those populations.
The output of the analysis results in tables such as in Table 13. The main body of the table describes each haplotype in turn giving a unique ID for that gene (in the range a-z,aa-zz), the population frequencies and ence in individuals and unique population groups; one or more subsequent columns describe the DNA base calls at each location that form the haplotype giving both the base from the reference sequence or the variant base call.
Table 13 was constructed in this manner. The table can be read as follows: The first four columns (left to right) consist of (1) the ype ID letter (’ref’ indicates reference — the DNA base call at each genomic on from the GRCh37 Human Reference ly) (2) the observed tive frequency of the haplotype among the different populations (3) the number of individuals in which a specific haplotype was ed (4} the number of unique population groups that the identified individuals belong to (the actual population group identifiers are displayed as a string of ID’s in the most right hand column for each haplotype. For example haplotype ‘a’ has a population ID string of ’3,4,9,13’).
The populations are numbered as follows ation labels being according to 1000 Genomes Project nomenclature) 1= ASW; 2: CEU; 3=CHB; 4=CHS; =CLM; 6=F|N; 7=GBR; 8=|BS; PCT/G82012/052296 9:] PT; =LWK; 11=MXL; 12=PUR; 13=TSl; 14=YR|.
Subsequent columns detail a single point t and have the following format (top to bottom) (1) the human genomic location of the variant (format [chromosome number]: [location] e.g. '14:106204113’); (2) The identifier for the point variant as defined in DbSNP (www.ncbi.n|m.nih.gov(gro]ects{SNPll; (3) One or additional rows show the amino acid change as result of the variant for a ic transcript (denoted by the Ensembl transcript ID in the most right- hand column for each row), the format is the amino acid in the reference sequence followed by ’->’ and the amino acid caused by the substitution of the variant in the reference sequence (e.g. 'Gly- >Arg’ means a that the translated nce sequence would result in a glycine at that location, whereas the substitution of the identified variant would result in ated protein containing arginine) using the IUPAC three letter amino acid codes (mtg-“gag.iggag.9rg(gublicationsmacmgfllgzzmgflflm§figglmfl uent rows (one per haplotype) show the DNA base at each location, bases matching the reference sequence are shown in black on white back ground, bases varying from the reference are shown as white text on a black ound.
The most right-hand column contains the Ensembl transcript ID's (e.g. ’ENST00000390542’) for each ofthe gene ript and relates to the amino acid changes to the left of this column. e the ripts are differing lengths each variant position may or may not have an associated amino acid change at the that position.
A functional human gene segment repertoire (from VH2-26 to 1H6, see the IMGT database for the structure of the human lgH locus; uman&grou2=lGK ) was sectored by the inventors to produce two different transgenic heavy chain alleles (denoted 52F and 53F) and corresponding mice. The transgenic alleles were expressed in the mice and the heavy chain repertoires were assessed at the RNA transcript level. Deep sequence W0 20131041844 PCT/G82012/052296 is was carried out using Bioinformatics methods to assess V, D and JH gene usage, including in variable domain sequences having a HCDR3 length of at least 20 amino acids. Endogenous, mouse variable region gene segments were vated by inversion (as per the method described in W02011004192, this disclosure being incorporated herein by reference). 'fica ‘ f ‘ r' DNA s from 9 anonymised consenting human donors were obtained by taking cheek swabs.
The samples were processed and the DNA Samples were extracted follow the protocol of QlAamp DNA Mini Kit (Cat.No.51304, Qiagen).
PCR reactions were set up to amplify the JH6 region and PCR products were sequenced (PCR Oligos sequence: Fwd. CCAGCAGAGGGTTCCATG-3’ (SEQ ID NO: 444), Rev. 5'- GGCTCCCAGATCCTCAAGGCAC-3’ (SEQ ID NO: 445)).
Sequence analysis was d out by comparing to the JH6 reference sequence from lMGT annotated se (http://www.imgt.org/), and this identified that all 9 donor genomes contained the human JH6*02 variant, with this variant being in the homozygous state in 7 out of the 9 .
The inventors also consulted the genomic sequences publicly available for Jim Watson and Craig Venter at Ensembl human genome database [http://www.ensembl.org/]. These too contained the human JH6*02 variant. This confirmed to the inventors that human JH6*02 is a common, conserved variant in humans, and thus a good candidate for construction of a transgenic lgH locus as per the invention H T l fi.|l|l “55 HE; A series of human bacterial cial chromosome (BAC) clones were identified from Ensemble (httgzflwwwensgmmgrgfindex.html) or UCSC (httgzflggngmeucsceduz) human database searches based on gene name (16H) or location (chromosome 14: 106026574-107346185). Seven human RP11 BAC clones (see an extract of the UCSC databse in Figure 10, identified BACs being circled) were selected, RP11-1065N8 BAC carrying human JH6*02. In total, the following BACs were identified as sources of human IgH locus DNA: RP11—1065N8, RP11—659819, RP11-141W, RP-112H5, RP11-101624, RP11-12F16 and RP11-47P23.
With a similar approach, different BAC ciones (eg, different RP11 clone IDs or different sources from R911) or genetically engineered BACs can be selected for insertion into the mouse IGH locus to provide different sets of human repertoires in the transgenic mouse.
Construction of Transgenic IgH Loci Insertion of human heavy gene segments from a lst IGH BAC (RP11-1065MB) into the IGH locus of mouse ABZ.1 ES cells (Baylor College of Medicine) was performed to create a heavy chain allele denoted the 51 allele. The inserted human sequence corresponds to the sequence of human chromosome 14 from position 106494908 to on 106328951 and comprises functional heavy gene ts VH2-5, VH71, VH4-4, VH1—3, VH1—2, VHS-1, D1-1, 02-2, D3-9, , 04-11, 05-12, D6-13, D1-14, 02-15, D3-16, 04-17, 05-18, 06—19, 01-20, 02-21, D3-22, D4-23, 05-24, D6-25, D1-26, D7-27, 1H1, 1H2, 1H3, 1H4, 1,5 and JH6 (in 5’ to 3’ order), wherein the JH6 was chosen to be the human JH6*02 variant. The insertion was made between ons 114666435 and 114666436 on mouse chromosome 12, which is upstream of the mouse Cu region. The mouse V“, D and JH gene segments were ed in the locus, immediately upstream of (5’ of) the ed human heavy chain DNA‘ A second allele, 52 was constructed in which more human functional VH gene segments were inserted upstream (5’) of the 5‘-most VH inserted in the $1 allele by the sequential insertion of human DNA from a second BAC (BACZ). The inserted human sequence from BACZ ponds to the sequence of human chromosome 14 from position 106601551 to position 106494909 and comprises functional heavy chain gene segments VH3-13, , VH3-9, VH1—8, VH3-7. The mouse V“, D and JH gene segments were retained in the locus, immediately upstream of (5’ of) the ed human heavy chain DNA. In a subsequent step, these were inverted to inactivate them, thereby producing 52F mice in which only the human heavy chain variable region gene segments are active.
A third allele, S3 was ucted in which more human onal V“ gene segments were inserted upstream (5') of the 5’-most VH inserted in the $2 allele by the sequential insertion of human DNA ZOIZ/052296 from a third BAC . The inserted sequence corresponds to the sequence of human chromosome 14 from position 106759988 to position 106609301, and comprises functional heavy chain gene segments, VH2-26, VH1-24, VH3-23, VH3—21, , VH1-18, and VHS-15. The mouse VH, D and JH gene segments were ed in the locus, immediately upstream of (5’ of) the inserted human heavy chain DNA. In a uent step, these were inverted to inactivate them, thereby producing 53F mice in which only the human heavy chain variable region gene segments are active.
Mice bearing either the 52F or 33F insertion into an endogenous heavy chain locus were generated from the ES cells using standard procedures. The other endogenous heavy chain locus was inactivated in the mice by insertion of an vating sequence comprising neoR into the mouse JH- Cu intron (to produce the "HA” allele).
Immunisation procedure enic mice of the 52F or 83F genotype were primed with 20-40ug recombinant proteins obtained commercially or produced in house with n 1 (OVA (Sigma A7641),- Antigen 2 (a human infectious disease pathogen antigen) and Antigen 3 (a human antigen) via the ip route in complete Freunds adjuvant {Sigma F 5881) and 10ug/animal CpG (CpG oligo; Invivogen, San Diego, California, USA) and then boosted twice in about two weekly intervals with about half the amount of antigen in incomplete Freunds adjuvant (Sigma F 5506) and 10ug/animal CpG. Final boosts were administered two weeks later iv without any adjuvant and contained 5-10 ug protein in PBS.
I'l [' I Spleens were taken 3 days after the final boost and spleenocytes were treated with CpG (25 um final concentration) for and left until the following day. Cells were then fused with SPO/2 Ag14 myeloma cells (H PA Cultures Cat No 85072401) using a BTX ECM2001 electrofusion instrument. Fused cells were left to recover for 20 minutes then seeded in a T75 flask until next morning. Then the cells were spun down and plated out by dilution series on l culture plates and left for about 10 days before ing. Media was changed 1-3 times during this period. ;! gains W0 2013/041844 PCT/GBZOIZ/052296 Screening Culture supernatants of the hybridoma wells above were screened using homogenious time ed fluorescence assay (htrf) using um cryptate labelled anti-mouse IgG (Cisbio anti-mouse lg Europium Cryptate) and a biotin tagged target antigen with a commercially available streptavidin conjucated donor (Cisbio; streptaviding conjugated D2) or by lgG-specific 384 well ELISA. Positive wells identified by htrf were scaled to 24-well plates or immediately counterscreened using an lgG- specific detection ELISA method. Positives identified by primary ELISA screen were immediately expanded to 24-well plates. Once cultures were expanded to 24-well stage and reached eny, supernatants were ted using htrf or IgG-specific ELISA to m g to target antigen.
Supernatant of such confirmed es were then also analysed by surface plasmon resonance using a BioRad ProteOn XPR36 instrument. For this, antibody expressed in the hybridoma cultures was captured on a biosensor GLM chip (BioRad 176-512) which had an anti-mouse IgG (GE care BR38) )covalently coupled the biosensor chip e. The antigen was then used as the analyte and passed over the captured hybridoma antibody surface. For Antigen 2 and Antigen 3, concentrations of 256nM, 64nM, 16nM, 4nM and 1nM were typically used, for Antigen 1, concentrations of 1028nM, 256nM, 64nM, 16nM and 4nM were typically used, binding curves were double referenced using a OnM injection (i.e. buffer alone). Kinetics and overall affinities were determined using the 121 model inherent to the BioRad ProteOn XPR36 analysis re.
Any clones with med binding activity were used for preparing total RNA and followed by PCR to recover the heavy chain variable region sequences. Standard 5’-RACE was d out to analyse RNA transcripts from the transgenic heavy chain loci in the 52F and 53F mice. Additionally, deep sequence is of almost 2000 sequences produced by the mice was carried out.
Bionformatics Analysis Sequences for analysis were obtained from two different methods: 0 The first is from RNA extracted from the spleen: first cDNA strand was synthesized using an oligo based on the Cmu region of the mouse IGH locus as a PCR template. PCR was med using this oligo with an oligo dT—anchor primer. Then PCR product was cloned into pDrive vector (Qiagen) and then sequenced.
PCT/GBZOIZ/052296 - The second is from hybridomas generated through o-fusion: total RNA was extracted from hybridoma lines of st using standard Trizol methods and frozen at -80 °C for long term storage. cDNA was generated from 100ng total RNA using rd Superscript Ill reverse transcriptase and a pecific reverse primer binding to all mouse IgG isotypes for heavy chain and a mouse kappa constant region primer for the light chain amplification. 23 ul of cDNA were then used as template in a PCR reaction using Pfu DNA polymerase and a panel of degenerate forward s annealing to the leader sequence of the human immunoglobulin variable domain as well as one mouse pan-lgG e primer. PCR products were run out of a 1% agarose gel and bands of approximately 350-450 basepairs extracted and purified. DNA was then sequenced.
The sequences from the first method can either be from lgM from Naive mice or lgG from immunised mice. The samples from the second method are all from IgG from immunised mice, and specific to the immunising antigen. Almost 2000 sequences were analysed.
The sequences were obtained as a pair of forward and reverse reads. These were first trimmed to remove low-quality base calls from the ends of the reads (trimmed from both ends until a 19 nucleotide window had an average quality score of 25 or more). The reads were combined together by taking the reverse complement of the reverse read, and aligning it against the forward read. The alignment scoring was 5 for a match, —4 for a mismatch, a gap open penalty of 10 and a gap extension penalty of 1. A consensus ce was then ed by stepping through the alignment and comparing bases. When there was a disagreement the base with the highest y value from sequencing was used.
The BLAST+ (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) (Camacho C., Coulouris G., n V., Ma N., Papadopoulos J., Bealer K., & Madden T. L. (2008) "BLAST+: architecture and applications." BMC Bioinformatics 10:421 /www.ncbi.n|m.nih.gov/pubmed/20003500) program ’blastn’ was then used to find the germlineJ and V segments used in each sequence. A wordsize of 30 was used for V matching, and 15 forJ matching. The database searched against was constructed from the N65 sequencing of the BACs which were used to generate the Kymouse.
If a sequence d both a V and a J segment, the sequence between the two was then compared to a database of germline D segments in the mouse using ’blastn’ with a wordsize of 4 and the options ’blastn-short’ and 'ungapped’. This was used to assign a D segment, if possible. The CDR3 was identified by ing for the conserved “TA‘ITACTGT” sequence in the V segment, and the “CTGGGG” in theJ segment. If these motifs were not found, then up to 4 ches were d.
The IMGT definition of CDR3 was used, so the CDR3 length is calculated from after the 'TGT” in the V to before the ”TGG” in the J. Sequences with an out of frame junction (those which do not have a CDR3 nucleotide length divisible by 3) or which contained a stop codon ("TAA”, “TAG” or "TC-EA”) were excluded.
The identity of the matching V, J and D segments as well as the CDR3 length from this ment were then saved as a table for downstream analysis. The ratio of IGHJ6*02 used increased from the naive to immunised mice, as well as being enriched in the sub-population of sequences with a long HCDR3 (defined as consisting of 20 or more amino acids): All HCDR3>20 \ \' JH6*02% \ s TotalCount JH6*02% 5T0talC0unt %HCDR3>20 22.31% x x 91.11% Immunised 37.50% § x 66.67% Hybridoma 36.13% x x 63.64% This shows that the JH6*02 gene segment is selected for by sation, as the proportion of JH6*02 usage increases after immunisation. JH6*02 is also used in the majority of antibodies with a long HCDR3 length, which is desirable for targets which are ically bound by long HCDR3 length antibodies. 109 980-039 D— < 00(1) l-OQEEM (30(1) L09 €€®8€ > O (D 00}— <f—> l09 Emmi? -| (D 0 L09 ” L— 109 EEO‘dbG '- < N0:6) L-<o ID 00 |ine=SEQ Bottom N025, -SEQ line: Reference L09 980-099 [L <u 0 Middle L09 £96099 NO:1, L09 99mg JHS l09 98M 3 L9.— < ID < i— 1 SEQ 00 NO: L~o L3 nment: L09 92mg 2 ID Ali line L09 £90053 L—u <: JHS (top 5H rsom <p—o— b-ULD o u < LOQEZQMQX hzas p-UO 00 00:3 < r— 0 00 UH‘: 0‘93 .- r— w <n-> .1 o < Loaezm «Duo L09€zQ?
