Embodiment 1

[0076] Embodiment 1 constructs novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 antigen (fusion protein RBD-HP_Ferritin)

[0077] The schematic diagram and structural diagram of fusion protein RBD-HP_Ferritin self-assembled nanoparticles are as follows figure 1 and figure 2 shown.

[0078] Specifically, the construction and preparation method of the fusion protein RBD-HP_Ferritin is as follows:

[0079] 1. Preparation of vector expressing RBD-HP_Ferritin antigen

[0080] After the 3' end of the RBD-HP_Ferritin nucleotide sequence is added with a translation stop codon, it is cloned between the Xho I and Xba I restriction sites of the expression vector (pcDNA3.1-Intron-WPRE) that adds Intron and WPRE to enhance expression , construct the expression vector pcDNA3.1-Intron-WPRE-RBD-Ferritin (HP)-IRES-GFP (such as image 3 shown).

[0081] DH5α competent cells were transformed with the recombinant plasmid, cultured overnight at 37°C, and positive clones were identified by screening and PCR. Ex...

Embodiment 2

[0086] Embodiment 2 mouse immunization experiment

[0087] The RBD-HP_Ferritin antigen obtained in Example 1 was diluted to 100 μg / ml with physiological saline according to Table 1, and emulsified in groups with an equal volume of adjuvant SAS. Then immunize groups of Balb / C mice aged 6-8 weeks. immunization strategies such as Figure 8 As shown, that is, by intraperitoneal injection, each mouse received 3 times of vaccine immunization on day 0, week 3 (day 21), and week 14 (day 108), with an inoculation volume of 200 μl each time (10 μg) . On the 10th, 31st, and 108th days, blood was collected from the mice's orbits. After standing for a period of time to allow the serum to separate out, the mouse serum was obtained by centrifuging at 2800rpm for 15 minutes at 4°C, and was immediately used in the neutralization detection experiment of SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus.

Embodiment 3

[0090] Embodiment 3 Pseudovirus neutralization test

[0091] 1. Preparation of pseudovirus:

[0092] According to the sequence published by NCBI, the Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 was synthesized and inserted into the pcDNA3.1 expression vector. The expression vector of SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein was co-transfected into 293T cells with pHIV-luciferase and psPAX2 plasmids. After 5 hours of transfection, the cells were washed twice with PBS and replaced with serum-free DMEM medium to continue culturing. After 48 hours the supernatant was harvested and centrifuged to remove cell debris. Afterwards, the HIV-luc / SARS-CoV-2-S pseudovirus was obtained by dissolving with a small volume of serum-free DMEM.

[0093] The pseudovirus can effectively simulate the process of wild-type SARS-CoV-2 invading cells. When it infects production cells or target cells, the expression of the luciferase reporter gene carried by the SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus can accurately reflect the results of virus infe...

Abstract

The invention discloses a Helicobacter pylori ferritin-based novel coronavirus S protein single-region subunit nano vaccine. According to the Helicobacter pylori ferritin-based novel coronavirus S protein single-region subunit nano vaccine, a virus receptor binding domain (RBD) is used as an antigen and is connected with a helicobacter pylori polymer protein (HP _ Ferritin) to form a fusion protein RBD-HP_ Ferritin, so that antigen multimerization is realized; and expressing by using an eukaryotic cell expression system is carried out, so as to form a 24-polymer nano antigen through the self-assembly action of HP _ Ferritin. According to the scheme, the defect that RBD monomers are insufficient in immunogenicity can be overcome, the obtained vaccine can remarkably improve the level of neutralizing antibodies of a host to viruses, and the generated antibodies have the capacity of strongly preventing the viruses from invading target cells. Moreover, the vaccine is simple in preparation method, easy to purify and high in safety, and can be quickly applied to clinical tests.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedicine. More specifically, it relates to a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) S protein single-region subunit nanovaccine based on Helicobacter pylori ferritin. Background technique [0002] The clinical manifestations of pneumonia caused by the novel coronavirus (tentatively named SARS-CoV-2, also known as 2019-nCoV) are very similar to those of viral pneumonia; the main clinical manifestations are fever, fatigue, dry cough, etc. In severe cases, shock, Sepsis, respiratory failure and death. As the virus source and pathogenesis of the novel coronavirus pneumonia are not yet clear, and there is a lack of specific antiviral drugs, it has brought great difficulties to clinical diagnosis, treatment and control of the epidemic, causing serious social burden and crisis. [0003] At present, humans still lack effective vaccines against SARS-CoV-2. Under this severe situation, developing safe and effective vac...
