Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedical technology, specifically relating to RSV pre-fusion F protein mutants and their applications. Background Technology
[0002] Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was first discovered in 1956, and researchers have continuously attempted to develop live attenuated virus vaccines or inactivated whole virus vaccines. However, formalin-inactivated vaccines can exacerbate respiratory disease (ERD) during natural infection, and even today, the severe consequences of this event remain a crucial consideration in developing new vaccine methods and immunization strategies. With a deeper understanding of the pathogenesis of RSV and the vaccine-induced ERD effect, and with continuous trials and accumulated experience in developing monoclonal antibody drugs, live attenuated vaccines, nucleic acid vaccines, adenovirus vaccines, and subunit vaccines, the successful development of RSV vaccines is on the horizon.
[0003] The pre-fusion state of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) fusion (F) glycoprotein is a major neutralizing target for antibodies in human serum, but its metastability hinders structural characterization of the pre-fusion state. The co-crystal structure resolution of an antibody D25 complexed with the F glycoprotein offers hope for vaccine design. Focusing on antigenic sites... The introduction of the DS-Cav vaccine design, which immobilizes the RSV fusion (F) glycoprotein in its pre-fusion state, offers better protection than previous vaccines. While existing technologies disclose the modification of the RSV-F protein using disulfide bond mutations, cavity-filling mutations, and electrostatic mutations, the stability and / or immunogenicity of the resulting mutants still need improvement. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a stable and / or immunogenic pre-fusion RSV F protein. Summary of the Invention

[0187] 4. Test expression levels
[0188] Based on comprehensive thermal stability and affinity test data, 16 mutant proteins were screened (Table 12) for expression level testing.
[0189] 1) Detect the expression levels of some mutants, specifically as follows: using a 96-well plate with 1x10 μL per well. 4 100 μL of 293t cells were seeded into plates, and the plasmid was transfected with PEI (100 ng / well) on the second day. On the third day, 100 μL of medium containing 10% FBS was added, and the cells were cultured for another 4 days. The secreted F protein in the cell culture supernatant was detected by sandwich ELISA (the method is the same as in "2. Detection of mutant stability"). The results are shown in Table 12: The expression levels of mutants hd1b-1, hd1c-3, hd3b-1, hd3c-2, hd4-2, hd4b-1, he1c-1, he3a-3, he3b-3, he4c-1, he4-1, hf3-3, hf3c-1, hf3a-1, hf4b-1, and hg1b-1 were all higher than or comparable to DS-CAV.

After mixing, the mixture was incubated at 37°C for 1 hour, with the mixture being inverted and shaken once during the incubation period.
[0208] 3) Add 100 μL of diluted serum from 2) to the well plate in 1), with 6 replicates per well for each dilution gradient. At the same time, set up positive control (RSV virus solution with 400 TCID50) and negative control (culture medium containing 2% fetal bovine serum).
[0209] 4) After two days of incubation, remove the supernatant twice with PBS detergent, add 4% paraformaldehyde, and seal with sealant.
