Abstract

Engineered nanobodies (VHs) to the SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD) were generated using phage display technology. A recombinant Wuhan RBD served as bait in phage panning to fish out nanobody-displaying phages from a VH/VH phage display library. Sixteen phage-infected clones produced nanobodies with 81.79-98.96% framework similarity to human antibodies; thus, they may be regarded as human nanobodies. Nanobodies of clones 114 and 278 neutralized SARS-CoV-2 infectivity in a dose-dependent manner; nanobodies of clones 103 and 105 enhanced the virus's infectivity by increasing the cytopathic effect (CPE) in an infected Vero E6 monolayer. These four nanobodies also bound to recombinant Delta and Omicron RBDs and native SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins. The neutralizing VH114 epitope contains the previously reported VYAWN motif (Wuhan RBD residues 350-354). The linear epitope of neutralizing VH278 at Wuhan RBD 319RVQPTESIVRFPNITN334 is novel. In this study, for the first time, we report SARS-CoV-2 RBD-enhancing epitopes, i.e., a linear VH103 epitope at RBD residues 359NCVADVSVLYNSAPFFTFKCYG380, and the VH105 epitope, most likely conformational and formed by residues in three RBD regions that are spatially juxtaposed upon the protein folding. Data obtained in this way are useful for the rational design of subunit SARS-CoV-2 vaccines that should be devoid of enhancing epitopes. VH114 and VH278 should be tested further for clinical use against COVID-19.

摘要

利用噬菌体展示技术,生成了针对 SARS-CoV-2 受体结合域(RBD)的工程纳米抗体(VHs)。重组武汉 RBD 作为噬菌体淘选的诱饵,从 VH/VH 噬菌体展示文库中筛选出展示纳米抗体的噬菌体。从 16 个噬菌体感染的克隆中产生的纳米抗体与人类抗体的框架相似度为 81.79-98.96%;因此,它们可以被视为人类纳米抗体。克隆 114 和 278 的纳米抗体以剂量依赖的方式中和 SARS-CoV-2 的感染性;克隆 103 和 105 的纳米抗体通过增加受感染的 Vero E6 单层中的细胞病变效应(CPE)来增强病毒的感染性。这四种纳米抗体还与重组的 Delta 和 Omicron RBD 以及天然的 SARS-CoV-2 刺突蛋白结合。中和 VH114 的表位包含先前报道的 VYAWN 基序(武汉 RBD 残基 350-354)。中和 VH278 在武汉 RBD 319RVQPTESIVRFPNITN334 的线性表位是新的。在这项研究中,我们首次报告了 SARS-CoV-2 RBD 增强表位,即 RBD 残基 359NCVADVSVLYNSAPFFTFKCYG380 处的线性 VH103 表位,以及 VH105 表位,可能是构象性的,由三个 RBD 区域的残基形成,这些残基在蛋白质折叠时空间上并置。以这种方式获得的数据可用于合理设计不含增强表位的亚单位 SARS-CoV-2 疫苗。应进一步测试 VH114 和 VH278 用于针对 COVID-19 的临床应用。
