Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biotechnology and relates to a broad-spectrum neutralizing antibody P2-1D5 that neutralizes SARS-CoV-2 and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] COVID-19 infection is caused by a novel coronavirus. The main symptoms are low-grade fever, fatigue, and dry cough. A few patients may also experience upper respiratory and digestive symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, and diarrhea. Severe cases can develop acute respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock, metabolic acidosis, coagulation disorders, and multiple organ failure. The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) belongs to the β-coronavirus genus.

[0003] During its transmission, SARS-CoV-2 has undergone numerous mutations, enhancing its transmissibility and immune evasion. Currently, the main circulating naturally occurring mutant strains include the Alpha strain discovered in the UK, the Beta strain in South Africa, and the Gamma strain in Brazil. Vaccination against the novel coronavirus has also been affected. The neutralizing activity of inactivated vaccine serum against the South African mutant strain has decreased by half, and the neutralizing activity of mRNA vaccine serum against the South African mutant strain has decreased by approximately tenfold. Many monoclonal antibodies have also shown weakened or lost neutralizing activity against the mutant strain.

[0004] Monoclonal antibodies can be mass-produced industrially. Their high affinity and specificity for antigen binding significantly reduce adverse reactions in clinical applications. Furthermore, antibody molecules can be modified to increase their antiviral efficacy. Antibodies, with their specificity and flexibility of use, are a very promising tool in the treatment of infectious diseases. Currently, there is an urgent need to address the challenges posed by naturally occurring mutant strains of the novel coronavirus. Developing broad-spectrum human monoclonal antibodies against the novel coronavirus will provide more effective prevention and treatment for infections caused by these naturally occurring mutant strains.
