More than 100 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have been approved by FDA. The mechanism of action (MoA) involves in neutralization of a specific target via the Fab region and Fc effector functions through Fc region, while the latter include complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP). ADCP has been recognized one of the most important MoAs, especially for anti-cancer mAbs in recent years. However, traditional bioassays measuring ADCP always introduced primary macrophages and flow cytometry, which are difficult to handle and highly variable. In this study, we engineered a monoclonal Jurkat/NFAT/CD32a-FcεRIγ effector cell line that stably expresses CD32a-FcεRIγ chimeric receptor and NFAT-controlled luciferase. The corresponding mAb could bind with the membrane antigens on the target cells with its Fab fragment and CD32a-FcεRIγ on the effector cells with its Fc fragment, leading to the crosslinking of CD32a-FcεRIγ and the resultant expression of subsequent NFAT-controlled luciferase, which represents the bioactivity of ADCP based on the MoA of the mAb. With rituximab as the model mAb, Raji cells as the target cells, and Jurkat/NFAT/CD32a-FcεRIγ cells as the effector cells, we adopted the strategy of Design of Experiment (DoE) to optimize the bioassay. Then we fully validated the established bioassay according to ICH-Q2(R1), which proved the good assay performance characteristics of the bioassay, including specificity, accuracy, precision, linearity, stability and robustness. This RGA can be applied to evaluate the -ADCP bioactivity for anti-CD20 mAbs in lot release, stability testing as well as biosimilar comparability. The engineered cells may also potentially be used to evaluate the ADCP bioactivity of mAbs with other targets.

D000920 Antibody-Dependent Cell Cytotoxicity The phenomenon of antibody-mediated target cell destruction by non-sensitized effector cells. The identity of the target cell varies, but it must possess surface IMMUNOGLOBULIN G whose Fc portion is intact. The effector cell is a "killer" cell possessing Fc receptors. It may be a lymphocyte lacking conventional B- or T-cell markers, or a monocyte, macrophage, or polynuclear leukocyte, depending on the identity of the target cell. The reaction is complement-independent.
