The engineering of pH-sensitive therapeutic antibodies, particularly for improving effectiveness and specificity in acidic solid-tumor microenvironments, has recently gained traction. While there is a justified need for pH-dependent immunotherapies, current engineering techniques are tedious and laborious, requiring repeated rounds of experiments under different pH conditions. Inexpensive computational techniques to predict the effectiveness of His pH-switches require antibody-antigen complex structures, but these are lacking in most cases. To circumvent these requirements, we introduce a sequence-based in silico method for predicting His mutations in the variable region of antibodies, which could lead to pH-biased antigen binding. This method, called Sequence-based Identification of pH-sensitive Antibody Binding (SIpHAB), was trained on 3D-structure-based calculations of 3,490 antibody-antigen complexes with solved experimental structures. SIpHAB was parametrized to enhance preferential binding either toward or against the acidic pH, for selective targeting of solid tumors or for antigen release in the endosome, respectively. Applications to nine antibody-antigen systems with previously reported binding preferences at different pHs demonstrated the utility and enrichment capabilities of this high-throughput computational tool. SIpHAB, which only requires knowledge of the antibody primary amino-acid sequence, could enable a more efficient triage of pH-sensitive antibody candidates than could be achieved conventionally. An online webserver for running SipHAB is available freely at https://mm.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/software/siphab/runner/.

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) as therapeutics necessitate favorable pharmacokinetic properties, including extended serum half-life, achieved through pH-dependent binding to the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn). While prior research has mainly investigated IgG-FcRn binding kinetics with a focus on single affinity values, it has been shown that each IgG molecule can engage two FcRn molecules throughout an endosomal pH gradient. As such, we present here a more comprehensive analysis of these interactions with an emphasis on both affinity and avidity by taking advantage of switchSENSE technology, a surface-based biosensor where recombinant FcRn was immobilized via short DNA nanolevers, mimicking the membranous orientation of the receptor. The results revealed insight into the avidity-to-affinity relationship, where assessing binding through a pH gradient ranging from pH 5.8 to 7.4 showed that the half-life extended IgG1-YTE has an affinity inflection point at pH 7.2, reflecting its engineering for improved FcRn binding compared with the wild-type counterpart. Furthermore, IgG1-YTE displayed a pH switch for the avidity enhancement factor at pH 6.2, reflecting strong receptor binding to both sides of the YTE-containing Fc, while avidity was abolished at pH 7.4. When compared with classical surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology and complementary methods, the use of switchSENSE demonstrated superior capabilities in differentiating affinity from avidity within a single measurement. Thus, the methodology provides reliable kinetic rate parameters for both binding modes and their direct relationship as a function of pH. Also, it deciphers the potential effect of the variable Fab arms on FcRn binding, in which SPR has limitations. Our study offers guidance for how FcRn binding properties can be studied for IgG engineering strategies.
