T-cell modulatory multimeric polypeptides with variant immunomodulatory polypeptides
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230279075A1) describes a multimeric polypeptide that has potential applications in modulating the activity of T cells. The polypeptide consists of a heterodimeric structure, with a first polypeptide containing an epitope and a first major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I polypeptide, and a second polypeptide containing a second MHC class I polypeptide and optionally an immunoglobulin (Ig) Fc polypeptide. The polypeptide also includes at least one first immunomodulatory polypeptide, which is a CD80 polypeptide, and at least one second immunomodulatory polypeptide, which is a 4-1BBL polypeptide. The CD80 polypeptide binds to a CD28 polypeptide, while the 4-1BBL polypeptide binds to a 4-1BB polypeptide.
The patent further describes variations of the multimeric polypeptide, including the inclusion of an Ig Fc polypeptide, which can be of various types such as IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA, or IgM. The Ig Fc polypeptide has an amino acid sequence that shares at least 85% amino acid sequence identity with specific sequences listed in the patent.
The multimeric polypeptide can be produced by culturing a genetically modified host cell that contains the necessary nucleic acids encoding the polypeptides. The resulting polypeptide can then be isolated from the host cell or culture medium. The patent also suggests that the multimeric polypeptide can be used in pharmaceutical compositions for various applications, such as selectively modulating the activity of epitope-specific T cells.
Overall, this patent describes a novel multimeric polypeptide with potential applications in immunomodulation. The inclusion of CD80 and 4-1BBL polypeptides, along with MHC class I polypeptides and optional Ig Fc polypeptides, provides a platform for selectively modulating T cell activity. The patent also covers methods of producing the polypeptide and its use in pharmaceutical compositions.
