Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to a bispecific antibody and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused enormous global health and socioeconomic losses. SARS-CoV-2 has evolved rapidly, undergoing multiple lineages and variants. Vaccines and antibodies developed based on the original virus strain have become less effective against emerging variants. In addition, several recently discovered SARS-related coronaviruses (SARSr-CoVs) have significant genetic similarities with SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, increasing their potential for transmission to humans. Therefore, it is critical to prepare strategies to respond to evolving SARS-CoV-2 variants in advance. Vaccination faces challenges related to accessibility and unresolved side effects, which may further affect its overall effectiveness. To date, the continuous emergence of variants of concern (VOCs) has challenged vaccines developed using sequences of the original SARS-CoV-2 virus strain (wild type). For example, the Delta variant (B.1.617.2) and its spread have been mainly attributed to its significant ability to evade neutralizing antibodies, which are present in recovered and vaccinated populations. The Omicron variant (BA.1) shows a higher propensity to mutate. Subsequently, a series of Omicron subvariants emerged, characterized by a set of mutations in the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the spike (S) protein. These mutations result in alterations in the RBD that may affect its binding affinity to human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2). Notably, the Omicron RBD was reported to have a lower affinity for ACE2 than the Alpha or Delta variants. The main transmission factor of Omicron is its enhanced ability to evade polyclonal antibodies, thereby reducing the potency of serum antibody binding and neutralization.
[0003] Although monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have been considered as ideal tools to combat coronaviruses due to their proven broad-spectrum neutralizing activity and potency, the continuous emergence of mutations has posed a major challenge to existing mAbs. Bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) are artificially engineered antibodies that are able to bind to two epitopes of an antigen or two different antigens simultaneously. In order to construct bsAbs with broad-spectrum neutralizing activity, a scaffold with the insertion of a natural VH-CH1 switch region is a promising approach. Several bsAb formats targeting SARS-CoV-2 have been developed, including two immunoglobulin G (IgG) single-chain variable fragments and single-chain variable fragments (scFvs) fused to an Fc domain. Although these bsAbs exhibit enhanced neutralization against pseudoviruses and real VOCs, the scope of their potency remains insufficiently defined. However, the development of bsAbs with strong neutralizing activity and broad-spectrum coverage is considered an alternative solution to cope with emerging variants. Summary of the invention

After infection, the virus solution was discarded and DMEM virus maintenance solution containing 1.2% (v / v) sodium carboxymethyl cellulose was added. After 24 h, the cells were fixed with 4% (v / v) paraformaldehyde and 0.2% (v / v) TritonX-100 to increase cell permeability.
