Problems solved by technology

Since there are currently no very effective drugs, therapeutic antibodies, vaccines, etc. for the treatment and prevention of SARS-CoV-2 virus infection, the development of vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 virus can protect healthy people and deal with the recurrence of the virus. Outbursts are critical

Embodiment 1

[0020] Example 1: Amplification of SARS2-RBD and SARS2-RBD-Fc fragment genes

[0021] According to the reported clinically isolated SARS-CoV-2 virus (GenBank: QHR63250.2) gene sequence, the forward and reverse primers of the SARS2-RBD gene were designed to amplify the target fragment, and the Fc fragment gene of human IgG1 (GenBank: CAC20454. 1) Gene sequence design primers to amplify the Fc fragment and recombine:

[0022] Forward primer:

[0023]

[0024]

[0025] Note: The horizontal line in SEQ No. 3 is the recombined part on the vector.

[0026] Reverse primer:

[0027]

[0028] Note: The horizontal line in SEQ No. 7 is the recombined part on the vector.

[0029] Use forward primers (1) / (2) and reverse primers (1) to SARS-CoV-2 virus and use forward primers (3) and reverse primers (2) to IgG1 Fc fragment gene bases respectively The sequence was used as a template to perform PCR to obtain SARS2-RBD and Fc gene fragments, and the forward primer (1) and reverse primer (2) were used t...

Embodiment 2

[0032] Example 2: Expression and purification of SARS2-RBD-Fc protein

[0033] Expression using mammalian cell 293F expression system. One day before transfection, 293F cells (control cell density of 5×10 5 A / ml) 40mL was inoculated in a 125mL suspension cell culture flask. Dilute 40μg plasmid (pCAGGS-SARS2-RBD-Fc) in 4mL culture medium and mix gently, then dilute 60μL PEI (polyethylenimine catalog number 24765-1) in the culture medium and mix gently. After incubating at room temperature for 20 minutes, add them dropwise to the cells. Put the cells in a suspension incubator, 250 rpm, 37℃ 8% CO 2 Suspension culture.

[0034] After culturing for 120 hours, the culture supernatant was collected and Goat Anti-human-IgG Fc Antibody was used as an antibody to detect the expression of pCAGGS-SARS2-RBD-Fc by Western Blot ( image 3 ).

[0035] After detecting the expression of pCAGGS-SARS2-RBD-Fc, expand the cell culture and transfection scale to express a large amount of receptor binding...

Embodiment 3

[0037] Example 3: Mouse Immunization of SARS2-RBD-Fc Protein

[0038] The fusion proteins SARS2-RBD-Fc and SARS2-RBD were mixed uniformly with Imject Alum adjuvant (ThermoScientific), and the final protein concentration was 1 mg / ml. Female BABL / c mice aged 4-6 weeks were divided into 4 groups with 4 mice in each group. The first group is to immunize mice with SARS2-RBD+adjuvant 20μl / mouse by nasal drip; the second group is to immunize mice with SARS2-RBD-Fc+adjuvant 20μl / mouse by nasal drip; The group received 20 μl / mouse of SARS2-RBD-Fc+adjuvant by intramuscular injection in the leg; the fourth group was immunized with 20 μl / mouse of PBS+adjuvant by nasal drip. Two weeks later, the same dose was used for the second immunization. Two weeks after the second immunization (28 days in total), a certain amount of blood was taken from the mouse orbital venous plexus, and the specific antibody titer in the serum was measured by ELISA (ELISA coated SARS2-RBD protein). The result is F...

Abstract

The invention discloses a fusion protein of a novel coronavirus envelope protein and an application of the fusion protein. The fusion protein (SARS2-RBD-Fc) is obtained by fusing an RBD structural domain of a novel coronavirus envelope protein S with an antibody Fc fragment; and as a subunit vaccine, the fusion protein can induce an organism to generate an efficient neutralizing antibody through nasal drip immunization and intramuscular injection. It indicates that the SARS2-RBD-Fc can be used as a candidate vaccine for preventing and treating new coronavirus infection.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and specifically refers to a subunit vaccine against a novel coronavirus and its application. Background technique [0002] The new type of coronavirus (2019-nCoV, SARS-CoV-2) is a type of beta coronavirus. After being infected with the virus, it can cause symptoms such as fever, dry cough, and fatigue; some patients will develop severe pneumonia, and then develop into Acute respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock, coagulopathy and multiple organ failure, and even death. The SARS-CoV-2 virus adsorbs and enters host cells through the envelope protein on its surface, thereby infecting human respiratory epithelial cells and alveolar cells. The envelope protein of SARS-CoV-2, Spike protein (S) is a glycoprotein, which mainly acts on cell adhesion and cell membrane fusion. The S protein is composed of two subunits, S1 and S2. The S1 subunit contains the Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) to mediate ad...
