Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a bispecific fully human single-domain antibody targeting the new coronavirus and CD16a and its application, belonging to the field of biomedicine technology. Background Art

[0002] The binding of the SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain (RBD) to human angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) on the cell surface is the first step in viral infection of the host and is therefore a key target for antibody development. Five variants of concern (VOC) have emerged in the SARS-CoV-2, including Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Omicron. Since the emergence of the Omicron variant, numerous mutant substrains have emerged and have continuously iterated within the circulating strains, resulting in severe immune escape and recurrent infection. The Omicron spike protein has accumulated dozens of mutation sites, posing a significant challenge to the development of broad-spectrum antibodies.

[0003] Fully human single-domain antibodies (SDOs) are antibody fragments consisting solely of the variable region of the heavy chain (VH). Their molecular weight is only one-tenth that of traditional monoclonal antibodies. They are highly efficient in binding to antibodies, exhibit stable properties, exhibit high solubility, and can be expressed in prokaryotes.

[0004] CD16a, or FcγRIIIA, is primarily expressed on macrophages, monocytes, and natural killer (NK) cells and is a major cytotoxic receptor. Binding of the Fc region of antigen-bound IgG to CD16a on the surface of immune cells can trigger cytokine release or antibody-dependent cytotoxicity, leading to antigen recognition and killing by immune cells.

The specific process was as follows: the gene fragment and the pComb3x vector linearized with the sfiI restriction endonuclease were mixed at a molar ratio of 3:1. 1 μL of homologous recombination enzyme and 4 μL of 5x buffer were added. The reaction system was made up to 20 μL with ultrapure water and incubated at 50°C in a metal bath for 20 minutes. The homologous recombination products were transformed into Escherichia coli TOP10 competent cells using the heat shock method and plated on ampicillin-resistant plates for overnight screening. The next day, single colonies were picked and sequenced to obtain the correct bispecific antibody expression vector.
