摘要

Our recently developed ability to produce human monoclonal antibodies, together with that of reshaping antibody molecules, offers new tools for treating a number of human diseases. Direct injection of purified antibodies, or of antibody-related molecules, to patients would, however, not always be possible or desirable. This is especially true in the case of long-term therapies for at least two reasons. One is the high cost of antibodies certified for human use. The other is the possibility of neutralizing anti-idiotypic immune responses as a result of repeated injection of massive doses of antibody. In vivo production of therapeutic antibodies through either genetic modification of patients' cells or implantation of antibody-producing cells might overcome both of these hurdles. Several cell types suitable for use in cell/gene therapy protocols, such as skin fibroblasts, keratinocytes, myogenic cells and hepatocytes, are capable of producing monoclonal antibodies in vitro upon gene transfer. Furthermore, the grafting of engineered myogenic cells permits the long-term systemic delivery of recombinant antibodies in immunocompetent mice. Importantly, antibodies produced both in vitro and in vivo, retain the specificity and the affinity of the parental antibody and no anti-idiotypic response is detected in mice producing ectopic antibodies. Long-term systemic delivery of such antibodies into mice can also be achieved through the implantation of antibody-producing cells encapsulated into a new biocompatible material, cellulose sulphate. Importantly, no inflammation occurs at capsule implantation sites over periods as long as 10 months. Moreover, no anti-idiotypic response develops against antibodies released by encapsulated cells. Encapsulation of antibody-producing cells in immunoprotective devices should offer multiple advantages over genetic modification of patients' cells. These include protection against immune cells of treated individuals, the possibility of easy removal of implanted cells as well as that of implantation of non-autologous cells. Taken together, these observations demonstrate that long-term in vivo production and systemic delivery of monoclonal antibodies is technically feasible. Application of this technology to the treatment of various viral and autoimmune diseases as well as that of cancer is currently underway.
