摘要:
A method of preparing a modified granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) protein having reduced immunogenicity relative to human G-CSF comprises the steps of (i) identifying one or more potential T-cell epitopes within the amino acid sequence of human G-CSF (SEQ ID NO: 1); (ii) designing at least one sequence variant of at least one potential T-cell epitope identified in step (i), wherein the sequence variant eliminates or substantially reduces the MHC class II binding activity of the potential T-cell epitope; (iii) preparing, by recombinant DNA techniques, at least one modified G-CSF protein including a sequence variant designed in step (ii); (iv) evaluating at least one modified G-CSF protein prepared in step (iii) for G-CSF activity and immunogenicity; and (v) selecting a modified G-CSF protein evaluated in step (iv) that has substantially the same therapeutic G-CSF biological activity as, but substantially less immunogenicity than, human G-CSF.

摘要:
This invention relates to a novel approach for identification of T-cell epitopes, that give rise to an immune reaction in a living host. By means of this novel method biological compounds can be generated which have a no or at least a reduced immunogenicity when exposed to the immune system of a given species and compared with the relevant non-modified entity. Thus the invention relates also to novel biological molecules, especially proteins and antibodies, obtained by the method according to the invention.
摘要:
The present invention relates to antibodies which are directed to the EGF receptor (HER1) to be administered especially to humans and in particular for therapeutic use in tumors. The antibodies are modified whereby the modification results in a reduced propensity for the antibody to elicit an immune response upon administration to the human subject. The invention in particular relates to the modification of anti-EGFR antibody 425 in its different forms and fragments thereof to result in Mab 425 variants that are substantially non-immunogenic or less immunogenic than any non-modified counterpart when used in vivo.

A modified interferon beta (INFβ) is provided, which is less immunogenic than human INFβ (SEQ ID NO: 1) when administered to a human in vivo. The modified INFβ comprises an amino acid residue sequence that differs from SEQ ID NO: 1 by a substitution at one or more residues of SEQ ID NO: 1. Preferred substitutions are at residues selected from the group consisting of residue 50, 59, 60, 62, 63, 66, 67, 69, 70, 125, 126, 129, 130, 132, 133, and 138. Examples of suitable substitutions include F50A, L57A, I59A, Y60N, M62A, L63A, I66T, F67H, I69A, F70A, Y125A, Y126A, I129A, L130A, Y132S, L133A, Y138H, and Y138A.
