Abstract
Description
[0001] Protein or peptide, in particular for the prophylaxis and / or treatment of an infection and / or infectious disease and / or a secondary disease thereof FIELD OF APPLICATION AND PRIOR ART The invention relates to a protein or peptide, a nucleic acid, an expression vector, a host cell, a conjugate and a pharmaceutical composition, in particular for use in the prophylaxis and / or treatment of an infection and / or infectious disease, in particular respiratory disease, caused by viruses, in particular coronaviruses, preferably SARS-CoV-2, and / or a secondary disease thereof. Coronaviruses, also known as Coronaviridae, are enveloped single-stranded viruses. The 120 nm to 160 nm large virus particles (virions) have a virus envelope into which several different membrane proteins are embedded.The characteristic appearance of coronaviruses is due to the numerous club-shaped structures on their surface, called spikes, which protrude approximately 20 nm outward. They consist of the S1 and S2 subunits. The S1 subunit carries the receptor-binding domain (RBD), which enables the virus to dock onto a cell. The S2 subunit causes the fusion of the viral envelope and cell membrane, thus internalizing the virus particles into a cell (the so-called host cell). The smaller envelope protein (E protein, 9 to 12 kDa) is present in small amounts on the outer surface. Only HCoV-OC43 (Human Coronavirus OC43) and the Group 2 coronaviruses (genus Betacoronavirus) additionally contain the hemagglutin esterase protein (HE protein, 65 kDa). The M protein (matrix protein, 23 to 35 kDa), which is also anchored in the membrane envelope, is directed inwards and represents a matrix protein on the inside of the virus envelope.Inside the envelope is a presumably icosahedral capsid containing a helical nucleoprotein complex. This consists of the nucleoprotein N (50 to 60 kDa) complexed with a single-stranded RNA of positive polarity. Certain amino acid residues of the N protein interact with the matrix protein M, so that the capsid is associated with the inner surface of the membrane. The single-stranded RNA genome of coronaviruses is approximately 26,000 to 32,000 nucleotides (nt) long, making coronaviruses the longest genomes of all known RNA viruses. Coronaviruses cause very different diseases in various vertebrates such as mammals, birds, and fish. In humans, for example, coronaviruses 229E, HKU1, OC43, and NL63 cause between 10% and 30% of upper respiratory tract infections, although the illnesses are generally mild.However, there have also been severe cases in the past. For example, in 2002, 8,096 people in southern China were infected with SARS-CoV, of whom 774 died, corresponding to a mortality rate of 9.6%. In 2012, 2,494 people in 28 different countries were confirmed to have been infected with MERS-CoV, of whom 858 died, corresponding to a mortality rate of 34.4%. At the end of December 2019, a new coronavirus was identified, which the World Health Organization (WHO) has since named SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2). SARS-CoV-2 causes a respiratory disease, specifically lung disease, known as COVID-19. The viral disease was first described in Wuhan at the end of 2019. In January 2020, the viral disease developed into an epidemic in the People's Republic of China and eventually spread worldwide into the COVID-19 pandemic.The viral disease spreads primarily through droplet infection. The course of the disease is nonspecific, diverse, and varies greatly. In addition to asymptomatic infections, predominantly mild to moderate courses are observed, but severe cases with bilateral pneumonia, including respiratory failure and death, have also been observed. In addition to lung damage, pathological processes of the liver, central nervous system, and heart have also been observed. Older people and those with pre-existing conditions such as diabetes and / or high blood pressure are particularly at increased risk of developing COVID-19. To penetrate a host cell, the SARS-CoV-2 spikes interact with the transmembrane receptor ACE2 (angiotensin-converting enzyme 2). ACE2 is present not only in human tissues but also in other mammals.While the S1 subunit of SARS-CoV-2 forms the receptor-binding domain (RBD) for binding to the ACE2 receptor, the S2 subunit, consisting of a fusion peptide (FP), hepatrepeat 1 (HR1), hepatrepeat 2 (HR2), a transmembrane domain (TM), and a cytoplasmic fusion domain (CP), is responsible for viral cell fusion and cell entry into type II alveolar epithelial cells (type II pneumocytes) of the alveoli. During the viral infection process, endogenous proteases activate the spike protein S by cleaving it into its two subunits S1 and S2. In the case of SARS-CoV-2, these proteases are transmembrane serine protease 2 and respiratory trypsin-like protease (HAT). Viral endocytosis depends on cathepsin L (CPL), a pH-dependent cysteine protease found in endosomes. Vesicle pinching depends on dynamin.Intensive research is currently being conducted into active substances for the prevention and / or treatment of COVID-19. Both established drugs, such as the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine and the Ebola drug remdesivir, as well as newly developed active substances are being tested for their therapeutic efficacy against SARS-CoV-2. On January 28, 2022, the combination of the protease inhibitor nirmatrelvir and ritonavir was approved in the EU and subsequently used for the treatment of COVID under the trade name Paxlovid®. A therapeutic breakthrough is currently pending. In addition, a number of vaccines against SARS-COVID-19 have been developed, including protein-based vaccines, mRNA-based vaccines, DNA-based vaccines, vaccines with vector viruses, vaccines with inactivated SARS-CoV-2, and vaccines with attenuated SARS-CoV-2.Despite good acceptance of such vaccinations among the global population, the course of disease following a SARC-CoV-2 infection has improved, but a still high number of SARS-CoV-2 infections and the associated COVID-19 disease have not been contained. Thus, vaccine breakthroughs still frequently occur, in which people become infected with SARS-CoV-2 and become ill despite being fully vaccinated. The fact that existing vaccinations do not provide complete protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection may be due, among other things, to the fact that the infection occurs via the air, but the blood-air barrier, which in the lungs separates the air-filled space of the alveoli from the blood in the capillaries, does not allow a sufficient number of antibodies from the bloodstream to pass through to the surface of the alveoli. The blood-air barrier consists of a layer consisting of type I pneumocytes, the capillary endothelium, and the normally fused basal lamina located between them.Previously known antiviral drugs for the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection often pursue the approach of blocking viral replication intracellularly, strengthening the immune system, or alleviating symptoms, particularly those related to the cardiovascular system. An alternative approach is antiviral drugs that prevent SARS-CoV-2 from entering cells. Such antiviral drugs are, for example, modeled on antibodies or involve mRNA-based vaccines that are delivered directly to the lungs through inhalation. Another approach is to prevent the binding between SARS-CoV-2 and ACE2 using proteins or peptides, for example, by inhibiting the formation of the serine protease TMPRSS2, which is involved in the binding of SARS-CoV-2 and ACE.However, disadvantages of previously known antiviral agents in the form of proteins or peptides that disrupt the binding between SARS-CoV-2 and ACE are that their production, especially cellular production, is difficult, and the proteins or peptides produced in this way are often unstable and therefore unsuitable as antiviral agents. Accordingly, there remains a great need for alternative antiviral agents for the prevention and / or treatment of infections and / or infectious diseases, especially infections and / or infectious diseases caused by coronaviruses, especially SARS-CoV-2, and / or any resulting complications.TASK AND SOLUTION It is therefore an object of the invention to provide an active ingredient which is particularly suitable for the prevention and / or treatment of infections and / or infectious diseases, in particular infections and / or infectious diseases caused by coronaviruses, in particular SARS-CoV-2, and / or secondary diseases thereof.

Preferred embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims and the general description.The wording of all claims is hereby incorporated by express reference into the content of the description. According to a first aspect, the invention relates to a protein or peptide, in particular a polypeptide. The protein or peptide can be a chemically produced protein, i.e. a protein or peptide produced by chemical synthesis and / or laboratory techniques, or a recombinant protein or peptide, i.e. a protein or peptide produced biotechnologically and / or molecularly, in particular a chimeric protein or peptide or fusion protein or fusion peptide.

Alternatively, the above-mentioned surfactant protein and / or the above-mentioned other surfactant protein, in particular in each case, can be a non-human surfactant protein.The term "partial sequence" in the sense of the present invention is to be understood as a partial sequence of an amino acid sequence. The term "surfactant" in the sense of the present invention is to be understood as a surface-active composition produced by type II alveolar epithelial cells (type II pneumocytes) in the lungs and secreted onto the surface of the alveolar epithelium. The largest proportion of the composition is made up of lipids. In addition, the composition comprises proteins, among others surfactant proteins, in particular the aforementioned proteins surfactant protein A and surfactant protein D. The term "variant" of a respective amino acid sequence in the sense of the present invention is to be understood as meaning in particular an insertion and / or addition and / or deletion and / or substitution variant of the respective amino acid sequence, iean amino acid sequence that differs from the respective amino acid sequence by one or more insertions and / or by one or more additions and / or by one or more deletions and / or by one or more substitutions of amino acids or amino acid residues. The variant can therefore in particular be a partial sequence of the respective amino acid sequence. Preferably, the variant has a sequence identity or sequence homology to the respective amino acid sequence of, in particular, at least 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99%. For the purposes of the present invention, the term “sequence identity” between two amino acid sequences is understood to mean the percentage or proportion of amino acids or amino acid residues that are identical between the amino acid sequences.The invention is characterized in particular by the following advantages: - The amino acid sequence of the second protein or peptide segment particularly advantageously contains the binding motif or sequence for SARS-CoV-2. As a result, the protein or peptide is capable of competitively antagonizing the virus, reducing or even completely preventing binding of the virus to its host cells, in particular to human alveolar epithelial cells of type II, and thus internalization of the virus into its host cells, in particular into human alveolar epithelial cells of type II. This advantageously enables prophylaxis and / or treatment, in particular symptomatic treatment, in particular of infections and / or infectious diseases and / or sequelae caused by SARS-CoV-2.Compared to artificially produced antibodies, binding-affinity nanobodies, or some active vaccines that trigger a natural antibody response in the vaccinated person to a limited number of viral surface properties, ACE2 binding motifs have the advantage that, as archaic endogenous constructs, they are also suitable for potential SARS-CoV-2 mutants, provided they are clinically pathogenic—because this pathogenicity necessarily requires cell intrusion via ACE2 at the surfaces of alveolar epithelial cells. This binding of viruses to endogenous ACE2 can, in turn, be disrupted or inhibited by mobile ACE2 motifs, which are available in abundance, as part of a competition, or viruses can be bound to mobile constructs and intercepted for further beneficial immunological processes, thus neutralizing them.- The use of a complete ACE2 molecule or an ACE2 dimer, as described, for example, in EP 2543724 A2, is advantageously unnecessary. - The surfactant protein amino acid sequences of the first and third protein or peptide segments enable macrophages, in particular alveolar macrophages, to approximate SARS-CoV-2 virus particles bound to the second protein or peptide segment of the protein or peptide according to the invention. This particularly advantageously achieves immunogenic virus neutralization. - A further advantage is that the protein or peptide according to the invention can reduce or even completely prevent active agonization of the transmembrane ACE2 receptor due to virus saturation, which occurs through binding of the protein or peptide according to the invention to SARS-CoV-2.This can also reduce or even completely eliminate the risk of widespread damage, such as blood vessel damage, and associated pathogenic processes such as blood clotting disorders arising from the activation of subsequent signal transduction cascades. As mentioned above, virus neutralization, particularly specific virus neutralization, can be achieved with the protein or peptide. A treatment based on this approach has the advantage over virucidal treatment in that it has significantly fewer or almost no side effects.Because, in particular, virus killing does not occur, but rather the active viral surface is predominantly covered by binding to the protein or peptide, which in turn inhibits or prevents viral cell invasion, the patient's body is able to develop antibodies against the virus and thus corresponding immunity despite attenuated viral disease activity. - A further advantage is that the amino acid sequence of the first and / or third protein or peptide segment can generally create an affinity between the protein or peptide according to the invention and a patient's surfactant. This can be used to particularly advantageously counteract the collapse of a patient's alveoli. - The protective effect of conventional vaccinations against SARS-CoV-2 has so far been exerted primarily by antibodies produced by vaccination.However, SARS-CoV-2 infection does not occur in the bloodstream, where most antibodies are located, but in the lungs, where few vaccine-induced antibodies are present. The protein or peptide according to the invention advantageously enables treatment mechanisms, particularly in combination with a conventional vaccination, that act directly at the site of SARS-CoV-2 infection by allowing the protein or peptide to enter the lungs, particularly through inhalation. Preferably, the protein or peptide is free of an amino acid sequence that corresponds to the amino acid sequence of the cytoplasmic chain of ACE2. This advantageously prevents the initiation of undesirable so-called second messenger processes in host cells, particularly in type II alveolar epithelial cells.More preferably, the protein or peptide is free of an amino acid sequence that corresponds to the amino acid sequence of the transmembrane domain of ACE2 or a variant, in particular a partial sequence, thereof. This can particularly advantageously prevent integration of the protein or peptide into a membrane of host cells, in particular type II alveolar epithelial cells, and thus an increase in the cellular binding surface for the virus and thus an augmentation of infection. In an embodiment of the invention, the partial sequence of the surfactant protein is a partial sequence that begins at the N-terminus of the surfactant protein, and the other partial sequence of the surfactant protein, or the partial sequence of the other surfactant protein, is a partial sequence that ends at the C-terminus of the surfactant protein or the other surfactant protein.In a further embodiment of the invention, the partial sequence and / or other partial sequence of the surfactant protein is a complete amino acid sequence or a partial sequence of a subunit of the surfactant protein, or a variant of a complete amino acid sequence or a partial sequence of a subunit of the surfactant protein. In a further embodiment of the invention, the partial sequence of the other surfactant protein is a complete amino acid sequence or a partial sequence of a subunit of the other surfactant protein, or a variant of a complete amino acid sequence or a partial sequence of a subunit of the other surfactant protein.In a further embodiment of the invention, the amino acid sequence of the first protein or peptide section and the amino acid sequence of the third protein or peptide section together correspond to a complete amino acid sequence of the surfactant protein or a variant of a complete amino acid sequence of the surfactant protein. In a further embodiment of the invention, the surfactant protein is selected from the group consisting of surfactant protein A, surfactant protein B, surfactant protein C, surfactant protein D and a combination of at least two of the aforementioned surfactant proteins. Preferably, the surfactant protein is surfactant protein A or surfactant protein D. In a further embodiment of the invention, the other surfactant protein is selected from the group consisting of surfactant protein A, surfactant protein B, surfactant protein C, surfactant protein D and a combination of at least two of the aforementioned surfactant proteins.The other surfactant protein is preferably surfactant protein A or surfactant protein D. In a further embodiment of the invention, the surfactant protein is surfactant protein D. As a result, the protein or peptide according to the invention is advantageously also capable of effecting immunogenic virus neutralization via the approximation of macrophages, in particular alveolar macrophages, to SARS-CoV-2 virus particles bound to the second protein or peptide segment of the protein or peptide according to the invention. In this case, a further advantage is that the amino acid sequence of the surfactant protein and / or the other surfactant protein creates an additional binding site for SARS-CoV-2 virus particles.As a result, virus saturation by the protein or peptide according to the invention can be further optimized and the risk of virus particles, in particular of SARS-CoV-2, infecting host cells, in particular type II alveolar epithelial cells, can be further reduced or even completely avoided. Furthermore, this advantageously supports the phagocytosis of bound virus particles. In a further embodiment of the invention, the surfactant protein is surfactant protein D and the other surfactant protein is surfactant protein A. This allows the positive effects described in the previous paragraph to be advantageously combined. In a further embodiment of the invention, the surfactant protein is surfactant protein A and the other surfactant protein is surfactant protein D. This allows the positive effects described in the penultimate paragraph to be advantageously combined.In a further embodiment of the invention, the amino acid sequence of the first protein or peptide section and / or the amino acid sequence of the third protein or peptide section comprise / comprises a partial sequence of an amino acid sequence according to sequence ID number: 1 (entire surfactant protein D) or a variant of an amino acid sequence according to sequence ID number: 1 (entire surfactant protein D), or the amino acid sequence of the first protein or peptide section and / or the amino acid sequence of the third protein or peptide section consists / comprises a partial sequence of an amino acid sequence according to sequence ID number: 1 (entire surfactant protein D) or a variant of an amino acid sequence according to sequence ID number: 1 (entire surfactant protein D).

The features and advantages described there, in particular with regard to the aforementioned protein or peptide, the aforementioned nucleic acid, and the aforementioned expression vector, also apply mutatis mutandis to the host cell according to the fourth aspect of the invention. According to a fifth aspect, the invention relates to a conjugate, in particular a bioconjugate, which comprises a nanoparticle and a protein or peptide according to the first aspect of the invention or consists of a nanoparticle and a protein or peptide according to the first aspect of the invention.The conjugate according to the fifth aspect of the invention can also be referred to as a nanoparticle-protein conjugate or nanoparticle-peptide conjugate within the meaning of the present invention. The term “nanoparticle” within the meaning of the present invention is to be understood as a particle whose dimensions, in particular its diameter, preferably the mean diameter, are in a range from 1 nm to 120 nm. In this context, the term “diameter” in the case of a spherical nanoparticle is to be understood as the sphere diameter, i.e. twice the radius of the sphere. In the case of a non-spherical nanoparticle, the term “diameter” is to be understood as the greatest possible distance that two points along a circumferential line of the nanoparticle can have from one another.The use of a nanoparticle as a conjugation partner has the particular advantage that it enables the protein or peptide according to the invention and in particular optional medicinal or pharmaceutical active ingredients, in particular antivirals, to be concentrated in the body of a patient at a treatment site, for example the lungs of a patient. A further advantage is that the transport of medicinal or pharmaceutical active ingredients, in particular into the alveoli of a patient, can be facilitated by the use of a nanoparticle. A further advantage is that the conjugate according to the invention can be more easily coughed up by the nanoparticle. Preferably, the first protein or peptide segment of the protein or peptide according to the invention is centrifugally aligned or oriented on the surface of the nanoparticle, i.e. pointing away from the surface of the nanoparticle.Such alignment or orientation is particularly favored by positively charged amino acid residues contained in the protein or peptide according to the invention, in particular lysine and / or arginine residues. This results in mutual repulsion of molecules of the protein or peptide according to the invention on the surface of the nanoparticle, whereby the first protein or peptide segment of a respective protein or peptide molecule is centrifugally aligned. This prepares the amino acid sequences responsible for virus binding for ligandization with, in particular, SARS-CoV-2 particles. This advantageously optimizes virus binding and thus improves the virostatic properties of the conjugate. The conjugate preferably has a core-shell structure. The core preferably comprises the nanoparticle or preferably consists of the nanoparticle.The shell preferably comprises the protein or peptide according to the invention or preferably consists of the protein or peptide according to the invention. More preferably, the protein or peptide is linked to the nanoparticle or the surface of the nanoparticle via a linker unit. For example, the protein or peptide can be linked to the nanoparticle or the surface of the nanoparticle via a glutathione S-transferase-glutathione bond or via a SpyTag-SpyCatcher bond. With regard to further features and advantages of the linker unit, reference is made in full to the statements made in this regard within the scope of the first aspect of the invention to avoid repetition. The features and advantages described there with regard to the linker unit also apply mutatis mutandis to the conjugate according to the fifth aspect of the invention. The protein or peptide is preferably covalently linked to the nanoparticle or a surface of the nanoparticle.Alternatively or in combination, the protein or peptide can preferably be bonded non-covalently, for example by van der Waals forces, to the nanoparticle or a surface of the nanoparticle. Particularly preferably, the protein or peptide is bound to a surface of the nanoparticle by physisorption and / or chemisorption. In principle, the nanoparticle can have a cornerless shape or form, in particular spherical, oval, or elliptical, or a polyhedral shape or form, for example cube-shaped, cuboid-shaped, prism-shaped, pyramid-shaped, or spade-shaped. Furthermore, the nanoparticle can have a diameter, in particular an average diameter, of 40 nm to 120 nm, in particular 60 nm to 120 nm, preferably 80 nm to 120 nm.The diameters disclosed in this paragraph, in particular the mean diameters, have the advantage that the nanoparticle and thus the conjugate, including any virus particles bound to it, cannot be internalized into a cell, in particular a type II alveolar epithelial cell. Alternatively, the nanoparticle can have a diameter, in particular a mean diameter, of 1 nm to 40 nm, in particular 1 nm to 30 nm, preferably 5 nm to 20 nm. The diameters disclosed in this paragraph, in particular the mean diameters, enable internalization of the nanoparticle and thus of the conjugate into a cell, in particular a type II alveolar epithelial cell. Such internalization of the conjugate can be advantageous from a therapeutic point of view, depending on the nature of the nanoparticle.If the nanoparticle is a silver nanoparticle, for example, cell invasion can result in chemical changes on the surface of the silver nanoparticle, such as silver oxide radicals, which are toxic not only to the cell but also to the virus. Such intoxication advantageously only affects cells that are already particularly saturated with viruses and whose apoptosis prevents further virus replication in these cells. A noncovalent bond between the nanoparticle and the protein or peptide can advantageously further increase the toxic effect, since in this case the conjugated silver nanoparticles are exposed to increased oxidation in the intracellular space of the cell, leading to an increased release of silver oxide radicals and thus to increased apoptosis of the cell, particularly of type II alveolar epithelial cells.The nanoparticle is preferably an antimicrobially active, in particular bacteriostatic and / or virostatic, nanoparticle. For the purposes of the present invention, the term "antimicrobially active nanoparticle" is understood to mean a nanoparticle capable of reducing the replication capacity and / or infectivity of microorganisms, including viruses, or of killing or inactivating them. For the purposes of the present invention, the term "bacteriostatic nanoparticle" is understood to mean a nanoparticle capable of inhibiting the growth and / or replication of bacteria. For the purposes of the present invention, the term "virostatic nanoparticle" is understood to mean a nanoparticle capable of inhibiting the replication of viruses. The nanoparticle preferably comprises a metal or is made of metal.The metal is preferably selected from the group consisting of silver, gold, zinc, and combinations, in particular alloys, of at least two of the aforementioned metals. According to the invention, a silver or gold nanoparticle, i.e., a nanoparticle consisting of silver or gold, may be particularly preferred. The use of a silver nanoparticle generally has the advantage that it can be conjugated relatively easily with a protein or peptide. Furthermore, it is capable of cytotoxic effects (via radical formation) and thus has a virostatic effect. The use of a gold nanoparticle has the advantage that, due to its chemical inertness, it is less capable of initiating cytotoxic processes. This makes it particularly suitable, for example, for systemic, in particular intravenous, administration. Furthermore, gold nanoparticles can be provided relatively inexpensively. Furthermore, the nanoparticle can comprise a ceramic or consist of a ceramic.More preferably, the nanoparticle can comprise an organic molecule, in particular an organic carrier molecule, or consist of an organic molecule, in particular an organic carrier molecule. For the purposes of the present invention, the term "organic carrier molecule" is understood to mean an organic molecule capable of acting as a carrier for another molecule, preferably a medical or pharmaceutical active ingredient, such as, for example, an antiviral agent. For example, the organic molecule, in particular the organic carrier molecule, can be a polymer or a biomolecule, i.e., a naturally occurring molecule, such as, for example, a lipid.The organic molecule, in particular organic carrier molecule, is preferably selected from the group consisting of polysaccharides, chitosan, proteins, polyhydroxyalkanoates, polylactide, poly(lactide-co-glycolide), polyglycolide, poly-(3-hydroxybutyric acid), poly-(4-hydroxybutyric acid), polytrimethylene carbonate, poly-p-dioxanone, poly(amidoamines), lipids, polyethylene glycols and combinations, in particular mixtures, of at least two of the aforementioned organic molecules, in particular organic carrier molecules. If the organic molecule, in particular organic carrier molecule, is a protein, it may be preferred if the protein is linked directly, i.e. without a linker unit, to the protein or peptide according to the invention. More preferably, the organic molecule can form a cage, capsule or micelle structure.This is particularly advantageous from a carrier perspective, especially with regard to a medicinal or pharmaceutical active ingredient. In particular, this allows for the delayed release of, for example, a medicinal or pharmaceutical active ingredient. Furthermore, it is preferred if the conjugate comprises a medicinal or pharmaceutical active ingredient, in particular a virostatic. The medicinal or pharmaceutical active ingredient, in particular the virostatic, is preferably contained in a cage, capsule, or micelle structure of the organic molecule. This advantageously allows virucidal properties to be transferred to the conjugate. The virucidal ability of a corresponding conjugate is based in particular on the fact that, for example, virostatics can be approximated in this way to virus particles, in particular virus particles of SARS-CoV-2, which are bound to the protein or peptide according to the invention.The nanoparticle can further preferably have a coating. The nanoparticle can be at least partially, in particular only partially or completely, covered with the coating. The coating can comprise citrate and / or polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) or consist of citrate and / or polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Particular preference is given to a silver or gold nanoparticle coated with citrate, ie a nanoparticle consisting of silver or gold that is coated with citrate. Alternatively, a silver or gold nanoparticle coated with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) is preferred, ie a nanoparticle made of silver or gold that is coated with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Further preferably, the conjugate is a conjugate for use in prophylaxis, iePrevention and / or treatment of an infection and / or infectious disease caused by viruses, preferably by coronaviruses, particularly preferably by SARS-CoV-2, and / or a bacterial infection, in particular a respiratory disease, and / or a secondary disease thereof. In particular, the conjugate can be a conjugate for use in vaccination against an infection and / or infectious disease caused by coronaviruses, particularly preferably by SARS-CoV-2, and / or a bacterial infection and / or infectious disease, in particular a respiratory disease, and / or a secondary disease thereof. The infectious disease, in particular a respiratory disease, can be an acute or chronic respiratory disease.Preferably, the infectious disease, in particular a respiratory disease, is selected from the group consisting of pneumonia, acute bronchitis, colds, influenza, tonsillitis, laryngitis, sinusitis, bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Preferably, the infectious disease, in particular a respiratory disease, is pneumonia. Particularly preferably, the infectious disease, in particular a respiratory disease, is viral pneumonia, i.e., a viral pneumonia, i.e., a pneumonia caused by viruses. Most preferably, the infectious disease, in particular a respiratory disease, is COVID-19, i.e., a respiratory disease, in particular pneumonia, caused by SARS-CoV-2.The secondary disease is preferably selected from the group consisting of idiopathic pulmonary hypertension, acute organ failure such as acute lung failure (ARDS, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) or acute kidney failure, pulmonary fibrosis, thrombosis, thromboembolism, blood vessel damage, blood clotting disorders and inflammatory diseases such as PIMS (Paediatric Inflammatory Multisystem Syndrome) or Kawasaki syndrome. With regard to further features and advantages of the conjugate, in particular of the protein or peptide, reference is made in full to the previous description, in particular to the statements made in the context of the first aspect of the invention, in order to avoid repetition.

[0002] EXAMPLE PART 1. Expression vector constructs: Surfactant protein D according to Sequence ID number: 1 was cloned into the expression vector pCDNA3.4 along with an MBP tag (maltose binding protein). The molecular weight of the expected protein was 35.4 kDa. The corresponding protein encoded by the construct was abbreviated "hSPD." Amino acid residues 1 to 222 of surfactant protein D, amino acid residues 19 to 90 of ACE2, and amino acid residues 223 to 375 of surfactant protein D according to Sequence ID number: 11 were cloned into the expression vector pCDNA3.4 along with an MBP tag (maltose binding protein). The molecular weight of the expected protein was 43.8 kDa. The protein encoded by the construct was designated hSPD_hACE2_insP222 2.Transfection: HEK293F cells were plated and passaged in FreeStyle 293F medium for culture growth. The day before transfection, they were cultured at a density of 2 × 106 cells / ml and fed with fresh medium. The next day, an appropriate culture volume (containing 50 × 106 cells) was centrifuged (5 min, RT, 100 × g) and the cell pellet was resuspended in 2.5 ml of fresh FreeStyle 293F medium until a final density of 20 × 106 cells / ml was achieved. The 2.5 ml cell suspension was transferred into a TubeSpin. ®Bioreactor 50. One of the expression vector constructs mentioned under 1., hSPD_hACE2_insP222 or hSPD, was added to the cell suspension at a final concentration of 30 µg / ml, and the whole mixture was mixed. Immediately afterward, 60 µg / ml of PEI MAX was added to create a stock solution of 1 mg / ml (Polyethyleneimine HCL MAX, MW 40000, cat # 24765-1, Polysciences). The culture was swirled to ensure thorough mixing of the reagents and shaken for one hour in a Minitron Infors shaker (8% CO2, 37°C, 70% humidity, 180 rpm). After one hour, 47.5 ml of previously warmed FreeStyle 293F medium was added to dilute the culture to a density of 1 x 106 cells / ml; then, the culture was transferred to a 250 ml culture flask. The cells were then allowed to grow for 96 hours (37°C, 8% CO2, 70% humidity, 125 rpm) and then harvested.Maltose 4B Agarose Purification: The culture medium (containing the secreted proteins) was harvested 96 hours after transfection (4200 rpm, 20 min, 4°C). 5 ml of 10x buffer was added to the medium and incubated for 20 minutes at 4°C. Then, 200 µl of Maltose 4B Agarose Beads (AG Scientific, # M-2795-10ML) pre-equilibrated in equilibration buffer were added, and the mixture was incubated on a rotary shaker for 2 hours at 4°C. The thickened solution was then poured onto an empty PD10 column, and the beads were washed with 10 ml of wash buffer. After washing, the bound protein was eluted with 2 x 200 µl of release buffer. After elution, the beads were boiled in 2x SDS sample buffer. All fractions were run on SDS-PAGE. The flow through each fraction was then dialyzed against 1L of 20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, and 10 mM CaCl2 overnight at 4 °C.10x Buffer Equilibration / Wash Buffer Detachment Buffer 200mM Tris-HCl pH 20mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4 20mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4 7.4 150mM NaCl 150mM NaCl 1.5 M NaCl 10mM CaCl2 100mM EDTA 200mM CaCl2 Table 1: Buffers used and their composition The next day, 200 µl of maltose 4B agarose beads (AG Scientific, # M-2795-10 ML), which had previously been “harmonized” in equilibration buffer, were added to the dialyzed samples, and the mixture was incubated on a roller mixer at 4°C for 2 hours. The suspension was then poured onto an empty PD10 column, and the beads were washed with 10 ml of wash buffer. After washing, the bound protein was washed out or detached from the beads using 2 x 200 µl of Detachment Buffer 1 and 1 x 200 µl of Detachment Buffer 2. After washing, the beads were boiled in 2 x SDS sample buffer. All fractions were then analyzed using SDS-PAGE.

Conclusion After transient transfection and protein expression in HEK293F cells, protein bands of the expected molecular weight were detected on SDS-PAGE in the cell supernatant samples. After dialysis of the cell culture supernatant, some of the proteins were successfully bound to the maltose beads.For both binding and detachment, several protocols described in the literature for surfactant protein D were used. The detachment fractions contained proteins with the expected molecular weights. Therefore, the corresponding bands on the gel were analyzed by mass spectrometry, and their identity was determined. For hSPD, one band was found around the expected molecular weight (slightly higher, since secreted proteins are generally glycosylated and therefore run slightly higher on the gel than the calculated molecular weight would suggest), as well as two bands with higher molecular weights. All three bands matched the human surfactant subunit D, which is described in the literature to form tightly associated higher-order oligomers. For hSPD_hACE2_insP222, only one band was detected—but not with the expected molecular weight of the oligomer.A molecular weight of 43.8 kDa was expected. Since proteins are usually glycosylated, it was not surprising that the resulting gel band corresponded to a higher molecular weight. Mass spectrometry verified the identity of the sample. The insertion of a human ACE2 sequence into hSPD thus appears to have an effect on oligomerization. The absence of oligomerization may have the advantage that the binding site of the ACE2 sequence remains freely accessible, allowing preferential binding between SARS-CoV-2 and the protein or peptide of the invention. However, this comes at the cost of reduced protein stability. The amino acid sequences mentioned in the present description correspond to the amino acid sequences disclosed in the following sequence listing.
