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.

The invention relates to synthetically-extended & ethnically-diverse superhuman immunoglobulin
gene repertoires. The human immunoglobulin repertoires are beyond those found in nature (ie,
”Superhuman"), for example, they are more diverse than a natural human repertoire or they
se combinations of human immunoglobulin gene segments from disparate sources in a way
that is non-natural. Thus, the repertoires of the invention are ”superhuman" immunoglobulin
oires, and the invention relates to the application of these in transgenic cells and non-human
vertebrates for utility in producing chimaeric antibodies (with the possibility of converting these into
fully-human, isolated dies using recombinant DNA technology). The present invention thus
provides for novel and potentially expanded synthetic immunoglobulin ities, which provides
for a pool of diversity from which antibody eutic leads (antibody therapeutics and antibody
tool reagents) can be ed. This opens up the potential of transgenic human—mouse/rat
technologies to the possibility of ogating different and possibly larger antibody sequence-
spaces than has hitherto been possible. To this end, in one embodiment, the invention provides a
SUPERHUMAN mouseM (aka SUPRA-MOUSE“) and a SUPERHUMAN RATTM (aka SUPRA-RAT”)
2012/052296
In developing this thinking, the present inventors have realised the possibility of mining the huge
genetics resources now available to the skilled person thanks to s such as the HapMap Project,
1000 Genomes Project and sundry other immunoglobulin gene ses (see below for more
details). Thus, in some embodiments, the inventors realised the application of these genome
sequencing developments in the present invention to te synthetically-produced and
ethnically-diverse artificial immunoglobulin gene repertoires. In one aspect, the inventors realised
that such repertoires are useful for the production of antibodies having improved affinity and/or
biophysical characteristics, and/or wherein the range of epitope specificities produced by means of
such repertoire is novel, es for antibodies to epitopes that have hitherto been intractable by
prior transgenic immunoglobulin loci or difficult to address.
The present invention provides libraries, vertebrates and cells, such as transgenic mice or rats or
transgenic mouse or rat cells. Furthermore, the ion relates to methods of using the
rates to isolate antibodies or nucleotide sequences ng dies. Antibodies,
nucleotide sequences, pharmaceutical compositions and uses are also provided by the invention,

The present inventors have realized methods and antibody loci designs that harness the power of
genetic variation analysis. The reference human genome provides a foundation for experimental
work and genetic analysis of human samples. The reference human is a compilation of the genomes
from a small number of individuals and for any one segment of the genome a high quality single
reference genome for one of the two chromosomes is available. 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.

In one embodiment, the library is provided in vitro. In another embodiment, the library is provided

vertebrate is according to any aspect of the first configuration of the ion.
In one embodiment, the library encodes an antibody repertoire of from 10 to 109 antibodies, for

The first variable domain nucleotide sequence is produced following ination of the first
human unrearranged immunoglobulin gene segment with one or more other immunoglobulin gene

segment is a VH, the first variable domain nucleotide sequence (a VH domain) is produced following
recombination ofthe VH with a human D and JH segments in vivo, optionally with somatic
hypermutation, in the first transgenic cell or an ancestor thereof. For e, where the first gene

human unrearranged immunoglobulin gene segment with one or more other immunoglobulin gene
segments (for example, human immunoglobulin gene segments). For e, where the second
gene segment is a VH, the second variable domain nucleotide sequence (a VI-l domain) is produced
following recombination of the VH with a human D and JH segments in vivo, optionally with somatic
hypermutation, in the second transgenic cell or an ancestor thereof. For e, where the second
gene segment is a VL, the second variable domain nucleotide ce (a VL ) is produced

second human individuals. In one example, such a gene segment is isolated or cloned from a sample
cell taken from said individual using standard molecular biology techniques as know to the skilled
person. The sequence of the gene segment may be d (eg, by the introduction of up to 5, 6, 7,
8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 or 15 nucleotide changes) prior to use in the present invention. In another
example, a gene segment is derived by identifying a ate human immunoglobulin gene
segment in a database (see guidance below) and a nucleotide sequence encoding a gene segment
for use in the present invention is made by reference (eg, to be identical or a mutant with up to 5, 6,
7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 or 15 nucleotide changes to the reference sequence) to the database
sequence. The skilled person will be aware of s of obtaining nucleotide ces by
reference to ses or by obtaining from cellular samples.

and second human individuals are members of first and second ethnic populations respectively,
wherein the populations are ent. This, therefore, provides for superhuman gene diversity in
transgenic loci, cells and vertebrates as per the invention.

In this way, a superhuman immunoglobulin gene oire is provided in a transgenic non -human
vertebrate or vertebrate cell according to the invention.
In these embodiments of the first configuration, the immunoglobulin gene segments are optionally
as described for the third configuration.
In these embodiments of the first configuration, the genome optionally comprises a third
immunoglobulin gene segment (optionally a V segment), the third gene segment being derived from
a human individual that is different from the individual from which the first (and optionally also the
second) gene segment is derived; optionally wherein the first, second and third gene segments are
polymorphic variants of a human immunoglobulin gene segment (eg, VH1-69 — see the examples for
WO 41844
further description).
In these embodiments of the first configuration, the genome of the vertebrate or cell is optionally
homozygous for the first, second and optional third gene segment, wherein a copy of the first,
second and optional third gene segments are provided together on the same chromosome operably
connected upstream of a common non-human vertebrate constant region.
For example, each first, second and optional third gene segment is a V gene segment.
In one example, the library of the invention is provided by a collection of non-human vertebrates
(optionally a collection of rodents, mice or rats); optionally, wherein a first member of said collection
produces said first antibody but not said second antibody, and a second member of the tion
produces said second antibody (but optionally not said first antibody). It is therefore contemplated
to make non-human vertebrates where different human genomes have been used as a source for
building the enic loci in the vertebrates. For example, a first rate comprises a transgenic
heavy chain locus having gene ts only from a first (and optionally a ) human
population or individual; a second vertebrate comprises a transgenic heavy chain locus having gene
segments only from a third (and optionally a ) human population or individual; and optionally
third and more vertebrates can be built rly based on unique or overlapping human population

natural human repertoire. This is useful to extend the dy and gene sequence space beyond
those possible with prior transgenic mice and rats bearing human immunoglobulin loci. As explained
above, these have been based on a single human genome.
In one embodiment, the collection of non-human vertebrates bear human immunoglobulin genes
confined to human populations that are together grouped under the same population genus ”(a)”
mentioned above. This provides for a gene oire that is biased to producing human antibody
variable regions prevalent in the tion genus (a) and thus useful for generating antibody
therapeutics/prophylactics for members of said population. Alternatively, where gene segments
from different human populations are provided in a single transgene according to the invention (not
necessarily in a collection of rates), the different human populations are for example together
grouped under the same population genus ”(a)" mentioned above.
The invention also provides a repertoire of antibodies expressed from a y of cells according to
the ion.
In the non—human vertebrate or cell of any configuration of the invention, the constant region of the
transgenic locus is, in one example, an endogenous constant region of said vertebrate (eg,
endogenous mouse or rat constant region, eg, from the same strain of mouse or rat as the non-
human vertebrate itself).
The invention also provides a method of constructing a cell (eg, an ES cell) according to the
invention, the method comprising
(3) fying onal V and J (and optionally D) gene segments of the genome sequence of a
(or said) first human individual;
(b) identifying one or more functional V and/or D and/orJ gene segments of the genome
sequence of a (or said) second human individual, wherein these additional gene segments are not
found in the genome ce of the first individual;
(c) and constructing a transgenic immunoglobulin locus in the cell, wherein the gene ts
of (a) and (b) are provided in the locus operably connected upstream of a constant region.
Optionally the cell ses a heavy chain locus constructed according to steps (a) to (c) and/or a
light chain locus (kappa and/or lambda loci) constructed according to steps (a) to (c).
Optionally the cell is homozygous for the or each transgenic locus; optionally wherein antibody
expression from loci endogenous to said cell has been inactivated. This is useful for confining the
functional antibody gene oire, and thus antibody production, to antibodies bearing human
le regions.
Optionally the gene segment(s) in step (b) are identified from an immunoglobulin gene database
selected from the 1000 Genomes, Ensembl, Genbank and lMGT databases.
Optionally the first and second human individuals are members of first and second ethnic
populations respectively, wherein the populations are different, optionally wherein the human
immunoglobulin gene segment derived from the genome sequence of the second individual is low-
frequency (optionally rare) within the second ethnic p0pulation.
The invention also provides a method of making a transgenic non-human vertebrate (eg, a mouse or
rat), the method comprising
(a) constructing an ES cell (eg, a mouse C57BL/6N,CS7BL/61, 12955 or 129Sv strain ES cell) by
ng out the method above;
(b) injecting the ES cell into a donor non-human vertebrate blastocyst (eg, a mouse C57BL/6N,
C57BL/6J, 12955 or 1295v strain blastocyst);
(c) implanting the blastocyst into a foster non-human vertebrate mother (eg, a C57BL/6N,
C57BL/6], 12955 or 1295v strain mouse); and
(d) obtaining a child from said mother, wherein the child genome comprises a transgenic
globulin locus.
The invention provides a transgenic non-human vertebrate (eg, a mouse or rat} made by the method
or a progeny thereof. The invention also provides a population of such man vertebrates.
Microinjection of ES cells into blastocysts and generation of transgenic mice ter are
conventional practices in the state of the art, and the skilled person is aware of techniques useful to
effect this. C57BL/6N, C57BL/61, 12955 or 129Sv mouse strains and ES cells are readily and ly
available.
The ion also provides a method of isolating an antibody that binds a predetermined antigen
(eg, a bacterial or viral pathogen antigen), the method comprising
(a) providing a vertebrate (optionally a mouse or rat) ing to the invention;
(b) immunising (eg, using a standard prime-boost method) said vertebrate with said antigen
nally n the antigen is an antigen of an infectious disease pathogen);
(c) removing B lymphocytes from the vertebrate and selecting one or more B lymphocytes
expressing antibodies that bind to the antigen;
(d) optionally immortalising said selected B cytes or progeny thereof, optionally by

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

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.

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.

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;

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.

V1-8*01, Vl—2*02, V71‘01, V1-3*01, 01, V4-4*01, V3-9*Ol and 04). These

amino acids in length. In an embodiment, the locus comprises a human 1H6, eg, JH6*02.

For rearrangement and sion of heavy chains, the locus comprises control elements, such
as an Ep and Sp between the J gene segment(s) and the constant region as is known by the
skilled person. In one e, a mouse Ep and Sp is included in the heavy chain locus between

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.

tide sequences.

a non-native leader sequence) can be used for the nt region. For example, any of the
”GENOMIC” sequences disclosed as SEQ ID NO: 365 onwards herein. Alternatively, an intronless
sequence can be used, for example any of the ”CDS" sequences disclosed as SEQ ID NO: 365

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.

In an example, any cell of the invention is an isolated cell. An ”isolated" cell is one that has been
identified, separated and/or recovered from a component of its production environment (eg,
naturally or recombinantly). Preferably, the isolated cell is free of association with all other
components from its production environment, eg, so that the cell can produce an antibody to an
FDA-approvable or approved standard. Contaminant components of its tion environment,
such as that resulting from inant transfected cells, are materials that would typically
interfere with research, diagnostic or eutic uses for the resultant antibody, and may include
enzymes, hormones, and other proteinaceous or non-proteinaceous solutes. In red
embodiments, the polypeptide will be purified: (1) to greater than 95% by weight of antibody as
ined by, for example, the Lowry method, and in some embodiments, to greater than 99% by
weight; (2) to a degree sufficient to obtain at least 15 residues of N—terminal or internal amino acid

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.
W0 20131041844 PCT/G32012/052296
In one embodiment each said locus constant region is a heavy chain endogenous non-human
vertebrate (optionally host mouse or rat) constant region.
In one embodiment each said locus constant region is a light chain nous man
vertebrate (optionally host mouse or rat) constant region.
The invention provides a monoclonal or polyclonal antibody composition prepared by immunisation
of at least one vertebrate (eg, mouse or rat) according to the ion, optionally wherein the
antigen is an antigen of an infectious e pathogen (eg, a bacterial or viral pathogen antigen),
optionally wherein the same antigen is used to immunise all the vertebrates; optionally wherein the
antibody or antibodies are IgG-type (eg, lgGl).
The invention also provides a monoclonal or polyclonal antibody mixture produced by the method of
the invention or a derivative antibody or mixture thereof, eg, where one or more constant region
has been changed (eg, replaced with a different constant region such as a human constant region; or
mutated to enhance or ablate Fc effector function). In an aspect of the invention, the monoclonal or
polyclonal antibody mixture is provided for y and/or prophylaxis of a disease or condition in a
human, eg, for the treatment and/or prevention of an ious disease, wherein optionally
n each dy binds an antigen of an infectious disease pathogen, ably the same
antigen.
In an aspect of the invention, there is provided the use of an isolated, monoclonal or polyclonal
antibody according to the invention, or a mutant or derivative antibody thereof in the manufacture
of a medicament for the treatment and/or prevention of a e or condition in a human, eg, an
infectious disease, optionally wherein the infectious disease is a e caused by a bacterial or viral
pathogen.
An e of a mutant antibody is one that bears up to 15 or 10 amino acid mutations in its
variable regions relative to an isolated dy (eg, IgG-type, such as lgGl-type, antibody)
obtainable or obtained by the method of the invention. An example of a derivative is one that has
been modified to replace a constant region with a different constant region such as a human
constant region; or mutated to enhance or ablate Fc effector function.
Examples of infectious diseases are diseases caused or ed by a bacterial or viral pathogen.
For example, the infectious disease is selected from the group consisting of a disease caused by a
pathogen selected from the group ting of hilus influenza, E coli, Neisseria meningitidis,
a herpes family virus, cytomegalovirus (CMV), HIV and influenza virus.
PCT/GB20 12/052296

the production of therapeutic and/or prophylactic antibodies based on natural human immune
responses to antigens, such as antigens of infectious disease pathogens. In this respect, the
literature observes ntly used immunoglobulin gene segments to raise anti-infective responses
in humans (Table 9).

‘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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
