Adaptive immunity is mediated by antigen receptors that can induce weak or strong
immune responses depending on the nature of the antigen that is bound. In T
lymphocytes, antigen recognition triggers signal transduction by clustering T
cell receptor (TCR)/CD3 multiprotein complexes. In addition, it hypothesized that
biophysical changes induced in TCR/CD3 that accompany receptor engagement may
contribute to signal intensity. Nonclustering monovalent TCR/CD3 engagement is
functionally inert despite the fact that it may induce changes in conformational
arrangement or in the flexibility of receptor subunits. We report that the
intrinsically inert monovalent engagement of TCR/CD3 can specifically enhance
physiologic T cell responses to weak antigens in vitro and in vivo without
stimulating antigen-unengaged T cells and without interrupting T cell responses
to strong antigens, an effect that we term as "co-potentiation." We identified
Mono-7D6-Fab, which biophysically altered TCR/CD3 when bound and functionally
enhanced immune reactivity to several weak antigens in vitro, including a
gp100-derived peptide associated with melanoma. In vivo, Mono-7D6-Fab induced T
cell antigen-dependent therapeutic responses against melanoma lung metastases, an
effect that synergized with other anti-melanoma immunotherapies to significantly
improve outcome and survival. We conclude that Mono-7D6-Fab directly
co-potentiated TCR/CD3 engagement by weak antigens and that such concept can be
translated into an immunotherapeutic design. The co-potentiation principle may be
applicable to other receptors that could be regulated by otherwise inert
compounds whose latent potency is only invoked in concert with specific
physiologic ligands.
