Description

RSV fusion pre-fusion F protein mutant and its application 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

[0127] 6.

Blood was collected from the eyeballs on day 35, and serum was separated for subsequent neutralization experiments.

[0128] 7. Neutralization Experiment 1) Use culture medium containing 2% fetal bovine serum at a ratio of 1 x 10⁻⁶ cells / well. 4 1) Coat 100 μL of Hep2 cells into plates; 2) Dilute the mouse serum obtained in step 6 to 10-fold, and then perform serial dilutions of 3-fold (using 100 TCID50 RSV virus solution) (GenBank: MW582527.1), for a total of 7 dilutions. After mixing, incubate at 37°C for 1 hour, inverting and shaking once during the process; 3) Add 100 μL of the diluted serum from step 2) to each well of the plate in step 1), with 6 replicates per dilution. Set up positive control (400 TCID50 RSV virus solution) and negative control (medium containing 2% fetal bovine serum); 4) After two days of culture, remove the supernatant and wash twice with PBS, add 4% paraformaldehyde, and seal with sealant; 5) Use high-content scanning plate to count the fluorescence area of ​​each well and perform neutralization data analysis; 6) Use the built-in analysis function of GraphPad Prism to calculate the neutralization NT50.

[0129] The results are shown in Figure 1: The above mutants have good immunogenicity (all better than WT), especially hd3b-1, hd3c-2, hd1c-3, hf3a-1, hf3c-1, hf4b-1 and he4-1 are better than DSCAV.

[0130] 8. Similar effects can be achieved by mutations at the same site in the F protein of RSV B isotype. Based on a plasmid expressing the F protein of wild-type RSV B isotype (WT-F(B) plasmid), point mutations were continuously introduced via PCR, and homologous recombination was used to construct a plasmid expressing the pre-fusion F protein mutant of RSV B isotype. The WT-F(B) plasmid differs from the WT-F plasmid in that the coding sequence of the extracellular domain of the wild-type RSV-F protein in the WT-F plasmid was replaced with the coding sequence of the extracellular domain of the wild-type B isotype RSV-F protein. The amino acid sequence of the extracellular domain of the wild-type B isotype RSV-F protein is as follows: N-terminus-C-terminus, SEQ ID NO: 29; The constructed plasmid expressing the RSV B subtype pre-fusion F protein mutant was transformed into E. coli DH5α competent cells, plated in solid LB broth (final Amp concentration 100 μg / mL), cultured overnight, and then amplified in liquid LB broth (final Amp concentration 100 μg / mL). Sequencing was performed to identify the plasmid expressing the RSV B subtype pre-fusion F protein mutant (the amino acid sequence of the protein expressed by the plasmid expressing the RSV B subtype pre-fusion F protein mutant compared to the wild-type RSV B subtype F protein...). The N-terminal-C-terminal structure (SEQ ID NO: 30, amino acids 1-513 are the extracellular domain of wild-type subtype B RSV-F protein (SEQ ID NO: 29), amino acids 514-550 are the base fold, and amino acids 551-558 are the His tag) contains mutation sites as shown in Table 13. The structure was successfully constructed.

[0131] Table 13 Loci corresponding to each mutant

[0132] Note: ABRYSVO-B is RSV preF B in Pfizer's respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine Abrysvo (RSVpreF).

[0133] The immunogenicity of the RSV B subtype pre-fusion F protein mutant was verified according to the following steps: “5. Expression and purification of WT, DS-CAV, hd1b-1, hd3b-1, hd3c-2, hd4b-1, hd1c-3, hf3a-1, hf3c-1, hd4-2, he3a-3, hf4b-1, he4c-1, and he4-1”; “6. Mouse immunization”; and “7. Neutralization experiment”. (In the neutralization experiment, the virus (GenBank: MW582527.1) was replaced with another virus (GenBank: MW582529). The results are shown in Figure 2. Similar to the RSV pre-fusion F protein mutant in “7. Neutralization experiment”, the neutralization effect was superior to that of wild-type RSV.) The B subtype of RSV-F protein (WT-B) is even superior to DS-CAV-B, especially hd3c-B and hf3c-B, which are superior to Pfizer's ABRYSVO-B. It can be seen that the mutations in the wild-type B subtype RSV-F protein shown in Table 4 above have similar effects to those in the wild-type A subtype RSV-F protein shown in Table 4 above, with better stability, better affinity for related antibodies, higher expression levels and / or immunogenicity.
