Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the fields of microbiology and immunology, and relates to a fully human monoclonal antibody 1E4 targeting RBD with high neutralizing activity against SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, and its application. Background Art
[0002] Coronaviruses (CoVs) are a class of enveloped, positive-strand RNA viruses that are widespread in nature. They can infect a variety of hosts, including humans, bats, and birds, causing respiratory, gastrointestinal, and even neurological diseases. To date, seven coronaviruses are known to infect humans, four of which (HCoV-229E, HCoV-OC43, HCoV-NL63, and HCoV-HKU1) are prevalent but have low pathogenicity, typically causing only common cold symptoms.
[0003] SARS-CoV-2 shares a high degree of evolutionary homology with SARS-CoV, both relying on the spike protein (S protein) to bind to the host cell ACE2 receptor to mediate infection. The receptor binding domain (RBD) of the S protein is the primary target for neutralizing antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies targeting this region can effectively block viral invasion and have important therapeutic and preventive value. Although multiple vaccines are currently available, continuous viral mutations have led to frequent immune escape, challenging the effectiveness of vaccines. Furthermore, effective antiviral drugs remain scarce, and clinical treatment still relies primarily on supportive care. There is an urgent need to develop highly effective, broad-spectrum, and safe antibody drugs.
[0004] Fully human monoclonal antibodies have become an important strategy for antiviral therapy due to their high specificity, low immunogenicity, and favorable safety profile. The highly neutralizing, fully human monoclonal antibody 5E4, developed in this study, targets the RBD region of SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, demonstrating potent neutralization and excellent stability. This antibody is expected to provide new solutions for the prevention and treatment of SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, and their variants, and to provide an effective biomedical weapon for future responses to emerging coronavirus outbreaks.

[0046] 5. Synthesis of polynucleotide sequences of variable regions Suzhou GeneWeiZ Biotechnology Co., Ltd. was commissioned to synthesize the variable region DNA sequence of the antibody based on the above polynucleotide sequence. A signal peptide sequence and a restriction enzyme cleavage site (5'-GAATTCGCCACCATGGAGACAGACACCCTGCTCCTGTGGGTGCTGCTG-3') were added before the antibody heavy and light chain variable regions, and a restriction enzyme cleavage site (5'-GGTACC-3') was added to the tail.

After 5-6 days, the culture medium was harvested and the supernatant was about 50 ml after centrifugation. A 5 ml pre-packed Protein A affinity chromatography column was used and equilibrated with 20 mM PBS before loading. The sample was injected after the conductivity showed a baseline. After loading, the column was washed with 20 mM PBS until the baseline was stable. The target protein was eluted with 0.1 M glycine buffer (pH 3.0). When the OD280 was close to the baseline, the collection was stopped and the column was washed with at least 3 column volumes of 20 mM PBS until the baseline was stable. After the baseline was stable, the column was washed with 20% ethanol.

The hACE2 gene was stably transfected into BHK-21 cells to construct hACE2-BHK-21 cells stably expressing human ACE2. Plasmids expressing different S proteins were transfected into Vero-E6 cells using lipofectamine 2000 (Biosharp, BL623B). After 24 h, 5 h-long-lived VSV-dG-fLuc (1×10 6 Transfected cells were inoculated with a 1:20% tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50) / mL of VSV-G monoclonal antibody (I1-hybridoma culture supernatant) in growth medium (DMEM, 10% fetal bovine serum). After 24 hours, pseudovirus supernatants were collected, centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes, aliquoted, and stored frozen at 80°C. TCID50 values of pseudovirus were calculated using a serial dilution method for infection of BHK-21-hACE2 cells using the Reed-Muench method.
