Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedical technology, specifically relating to an F11 monoclonal antibody and its uses. Background Technology
[0002] The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) belongs to the coronavirus family, specifically the genus β-coronavirus. It is a single-stranded RNA virus with a genome sequence of 29,903 bp. SARS-CoV-2 contains an envelope structure, primarily composed of four structural proteins. Among them, the S2 subunit of the spike protein (S) can form a novel thermostable trimeric domain six-helix bundle (6HB), thereby shortening the distance between the viral membrane and the target cell membrane. This is an important form of viral-target cell membrane binding. Currently, various drugs and vaccines are used for the prevention and supportive treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection, but there is still no specific drug for targeted treatment. Convalescent plasma contains high concentrations of specific antigen-neutralizing antibodies. When infused into patients, these antibodies can neutralize the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen and mediate an effective immune response. Currently, most neutralizing antibodies target the S1 subunit, and the high variability of S1 limits the application of such monoclonal antibodies. Developing monoclonal antibody drugs with high neutralizing activity and a stable targeting structure will provide effective treatment for patients with COVID-19, reduce mortality, and protect patients' lives.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0022] This invention provides an F11 monoclonal antibody and demonstrates its application in recognizing and binding to the SARS-CoV-26HB antigen. Furthermore, this invention provides the application of the F11 monoclonal antibody binding to the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein and demonstrates its ability to recognize the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein for SARS-CoV-2 virus-related detection. This invention screened and obtained a hybridoma cell line that efficiently and stably secretes and expresses a SARS-CoV-26HB monoclonal antibody, as well as the SARS-CoV-26HB monoclonal antibody secreted by it. The monoclonal antibody of this invention has high neutralizing activity; a concentration of 2 nM can inhibit more than 50% of SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus activity, representing the best neutralizing activity reported so far for SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies. The monoclonal antibody produced and expressed by the monoclonal cell line of this invention has high titer and good specificity. Furthermore, the monoclonal cell line of this invention is produced using mouse ascites fluid, and the monoclonal antibody acquisition process is simple to operate, can be artificially intervened, and has relatively low cost.

[0023] The development of the F11 monoclonal antibody in this invention provides experimental evidence for clinical research on drugs for treating SARS-CoV-2 infection and related symptoms. Specifically:
[0024] This invention first evaluated the affinity of the F11 monoclonal antibody for the 6HB antigen and the Spike protein. Further, this invention selected the full-length Spike protein and its S2 subunit. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) showed that the EC50 of the F11 monoclonal antibody binding to the full-length Spike protein was 51.72 ng / mL, and the EC50 binding to the S2 subunit was 78.10 ng / mL, revealing that the F11 monoclonal antibody can bind to the Spike protein, and the binding site may be located on the S2 subunit.
[0025] In the affinity evaluation of 6HB antigen, full-length Spike protein, and S2 subunit, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) showed that the F11 monoclonal antibody had a high binding titer to recombinant 6HB protein in vitro, reaching over 100,000:1. This indicates that the F11 monoclonal antibody has good affinity for 6HB.
[0026] In the epitope identification of F11 antibody, the amino acid sequence of SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein was used to obtain the HR1P and HR2P polypeptide sequences in the 6-HB domain. HR1P and HR2P were used as antigens to coat 96-well plates, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed using F11 antibody as the primary antibody. The results showed that F11 antibody could bind to HR1P and HR2P. The EC50 for binding to HR1P was 89.7 ng / mL, and the EC50 for binding to HR2P was 171.5 ng / mL, suggesting that F11 antibody may bind to the hydrophobic groove of the 6HB structure formed in the S2 subunit of the Spike protein.
[0027] In pseudovirus experiments, the F11 monoclonal antibody exhibited strong antiviral activity, significantly inhibiting the infection of ACE2-293T cells by SARS-CoV-2B1.351 E484K mutant and omicron XBB.1.5. The IC50 for inhibiting SARS-CoV-2B1.351 E484K mutant pseudovirus was 0.1341 μg / mL, and the IC50 for inhibiting omicron XBB.1.5 pseudovirus was 0.2886 μg / mL.
[0028] In live virus experiments, the F11 monoclonal antibody, used as the primary antibody, showed significant fluorescence in the virus group, indicating that the F11 antibody reacted with the S protein in virus-infected Vero cells. This method can be used for IFA detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Simultaneously, the fluorescence data were scanned and quantified. The F11 antibody inhibited SARS-CoV-2 wild-type WT with an IC50 of 0.5984 μg / mL, indicating that the F11 antibody has a good inhibitory effect on infection caused by live SARS-CoV-2 virus and can be used as a candidate drug for the development of COVID-19 antibodies.

[0061] 2. Preparation and purification of F11 monoclonal antibody
[0062] In this embodiment, the ascites solution was prepared by intraperitoneal injection of 0.5 mL / mouse of Freund's incomplete adjuvant in 8-week-old male BALB / c mice. Seven days later, the mice were intraperitoneally injected with 5 × 10⁻⁶ PBS diluted with PBS. 5 0.5 mL of F11 monoclonal hybridoma cell suspension was collected. Mice were continuously observed. After about 10 days, when the mice's abdomens became significantly enlarged and they showed signs of slow movement, the mice were euthanized by cervical dislocation. The ascites was removed, centrifuged to remove insoluble matter, and the supernatant was stored at -80°C for later use.
[0063] F11 monoclonal antibody purification:
[0064] In this invention, the purification of murine antibodies was performed using Protein G affinity chromatography. After thawing the ascites fluid, the floating flocculent insoluble matter was scraped off with a pipette tip, and 5 volumes of Protein G binding buffer (25 mM NaH2PO3 pH 7.5, 150 mL NaCl) were added. Then, 5 mL of Protein G resin equilibrated with the binding buffer was added, and the mixture was incubated on ice with a shaker for 2 hours. After incubation, the mixture was added to a gravity chromatography column, the permeate was discarded, and at least 10 volumes of binding buffer were added to wash away non-specifically bound packing material. Finally, 5 volumes of 0.1 M glycine pH 3.0 elution buffer were added, and a collection tube containing one-tenth of the elution volume of 1 M Tris-HCl pH 8.5 neutralization buffer was pre-added. Samples were taken for SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, and Coomassie brilliant blue staining was used to observe the purity of the purified antibody. The mAb was concentrated using an ultrafiltration tube and the buffer was replaced with sterile PBS. Protein concentration was detected using the A280 method. The product was stored at -80°C for later use.

The plate was incubated at room temperature in the dark for 15 min, and the reaction was terminated by adding 100 μL / well of 2 M H2SO4. The absorbance at 450 nm was measured.
[0069] ② Binding affinity with full-length Spike protein and S2 subunit: 10 μg Spike protein or S2 protein was dissolved in 10 mL of 0.05 M carbonate coating buffer at pH 9.6, and added to a 96-well plate at 200 μL / well. The plate was coated overnight at 4°C. The plate was washed three times with PBST, and blocked with 200 μL / well of PBS containing 5% skim milk blocking buffer at 37°C for 1 h. After washing three times with PBST, 100 μL each of serially diluted 6HB recombinant protein and F11 monoclonal antibody (adjusted to 2500 ng / mL with PBST, and down-diluted 10 times in a 2-fold gradient) was added to each well, and the plate was incubated at 37°C for 1 h. After washing the plate three times with PBST, add 100 μL of horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG secondary antibody to each well and incubate at 37°C for 1 h. After washing three times with PBST, perform TMB color development at 100 μL per well and incubate at room temperature in the dark for 15 min.
