2. What is monoclonal antibody humanization (mab humanization)?

Monoclonal antibody humanization is an important part of the development of antibody drugs, it has been widely used for non-human (such as mouse, rat, rabbit, and chicken) antibody engineering. Compared with the parental antibody, humanized antibody is almost entirely composed of human sequences and can substantially reduce immunogenicity when administered to human.

3. Humanization of mouse, rat, rabbit, chicken, camel, llama and shark antibody

At present, the main immune globulin isotype used for humanization of mice, rats, and rabbits are IgG, while IgY is used for the chicken. Besides the whole IgG, Nanobodies, single-domain antigen-binding fragments of camelid-specific heavy-chain only antibodies offer special advantages in therapy over classic antibody fragments because of their smaller size, robustness, and preference to target unique epitopes also getting more attention towards the Humanization process for therapeutic application.

4. How to get humanized monoclonal antibody?--Procedure & Protocol of antibody humanization

The main technical process is modifying antibody sequence from non-human species to increase the similarity to antibodies produced naturally in humans.

BLAST the parental antibody variable domain sequence with the human antibody Germline database to find a suitable human template, then graft the complementarity-determining region (CDR) segment of the parental antibody to the corresponding CDR area of a human antibody. The  antibodies produced by this method are also called as grafted antibodies.

5. Humanization of antibody formats: whole antibody/vhh(nanobody, sdAb)

The homology of nanobody and human antibody heavy chain variable domain (VH) can reach 80~90%. However, there is a small but significant difference between camel-derived VHH and human VH, the CDR1 and CDR3 of VHH are longer than human VH. In addition, in the framework (FR)-2, several conserved amino acid residues are hydrophobic in humans while the corresponding conserved residues in VHH are hydrophilic. Therefore, besides backmutation, in order to get better stability, solubility, and biological activity, humanized nanobodies also need to modify some FR residues.

 

6. Differences between humanized vs fully human antibody vs mouse/human chimeric antibody

Fig 2. Schematic overview of antibody humanization from the murine antibody (blue domains) to fully human antibody (green domains)

Chimeric antibody contains variable domains from its original species (example: mouse), and constant regions from another species (example: human being) with high specificity. Compared with the mouse monoclonal antibody, a human-mouse chimeric antibody can efficiently reduce the production of a human anti-murine antibody (HAMA) in clinical trials. However, few patients still have HAMA responses against chimeric antibody, hence the chimeric antibody is not ideal for clinical treatment due to its immunological complication.

For a fully humanized antibody, its genetic source is 100% human-derived, the main ways include three technical routes, one is antibody library screening, creating a large library of variable domains of antibodies (in the form of so-called single-chain Fv fragment, scFv) on the surface of phage and therewith selecting and amplifying in E.coli. The 2nd route is the transgenic mouse, which refers to transferring all human antibody-encoding genes into its genome, which can express human antibodies. The 3rd route is available as an endogenous antibody from the human body. These agents are often harvested by identifying pathogen-specific B cells of patients who have recently recovered from an infection. For instance, Eli Lilly’s monoclonal antibody bamlanivimab (also known as LY-CoV555, aka LY3819253) was originally derived from the blood of one of the first U.S. patients who recovered from COVID-19.

Compared with chimeric antibodies, humanized antibody has lower immunogenicity, wider clinical applications, and higher difficulty in preparation. Even-though, the fully humanized antibody has got a marginal effect in reducing immunogenicity, the cost of production is very expensive.
