Modern genetic techniques, enable the use of animal bioreactor systems for the production and functional enhancement of anti-cancer antibodies. Chicken is the most efficient animal bioreactor for the production of anti-cancer antibodies because of its relatively short generation time, plentiful reproductive capacity, and daily deposition in the egg white. Although several studies have focused on the production of anti-cancer antibodies in egg white, in-depth studies of the biological activity and physiological characteristics of transgenic chicken-derived anti-cancer antibodies have not been fully carried out. Here, we report the production of an anti-cancer monoclonal antibody against the CD20 protein from egg whites of transgenic hens, and validated the bio-functional activity of the protein in B-lymphoma and B-lymphoblast cells. Quantitative analysis showed that deposition of the chickenised CD20 monoclonal antibody (cCD20 mAb) from transgenic chickens increased in successive generations and with increasing transgene copy number. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) analysis showed that the cCD20 mAb exhibited 14 N-glycan patterns with high-mannose, afucosylation and terminal galactosylation. The cCD20 mAb did not exhibit significantly improved Fab-binding affinity, but showed markedly enhanced Fc-related functions, including complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) compared to commercial rituximab, a chimeric mAb against CD20. Our results suggest that the transgenic chicken bioreactor is an efficient system for producing anti-cancer therapeutic antibodies with enhanced Fc effector functions.
