PG - 657-662 LID - 10.1111/imcb.12646 [doi] AB - The agonistic action of several immunomodulatory monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) requires both target antigen binding and clustering of this mAb:target complex by the Fcs interacting with Fcgamma receptors (FcgammaRs), in particular FcgammaRIIb, on neighboring bystander cells. Fc mutations were made in the immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-based TGN1412 anti-CD28 mAb to define the role of FcgammaR interactions in its "super-agonist" activity. The dual mutation, IgG4-ED(269,270) AA, ablated interaction with all human FcgammaRs and agonistic action was consequentially lost, confirming the FcgammaR dependence on the action of TGN1412. The IgG4 lower hinge region (F(234) L(235) G(236) G(237) ) was modified by L(235) E mutation (F(234) E(235) G(236) G(237) ), a mutation commonly used to ablate FcgammaR binding, including in approved therapeutic mAbs. However, rather than ablating all FcgammaR binding, IgG4-L(235) E conferred specific binding to FcgammaRIIb, the inhibitory Fc receptor. Furthermore, in combination with the core hinge-stabilizing mutation (IgG4-S(228) P, L(235) E), this mutation increased affinity for FcgammaRIIb compared with wild-type IgG4. In addition to having FcgammaRIIb specificity, these engineered TGN1412 antibodies retained their super-agonistic ability, demonstrating that CD28- and FcgammaRIIb-specific binding are together sufficient for agonistic function. The FcgammaRIIb-specific nature of IgG4-L(235) E has utility for mAb-mediated immune agonism therapies that are dependent on FcgammaRIIb interaction and of anti-inflammatory mAbs in allergy and autoimmunity that harness FcgammaRIIb inhibitory signaling.
