INTRODUCTION: Adenovirus (Ad) vectors demonstrated significant efficacy as vaccine vectors during the COVID-19 pandemic. Hexon is the major capsid protein, and multiple hypervariable regions (HVRs) have been used for displaying exogenous antigens and inducing a strong antibody responses. METHODS: We utilized SpyCatcher/SpyTag technology to incorporate SpyTag into HVR2, 4, and 7 of the hexon of the bivalent vaccine strain rAd3/7, respectively, to construct recombinant Ad, rAd3/7-SpyTag. The receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 BA5.2 strain fused with SpyCatcher was expressed as SpyCatcher-RBD, Spycatcher-RBD and rAd3/7-SpyTag were incubated in vitro to prepare a novel nanoparticle vaccine candidate, rAd3/7-SpyRBD, against SARS-CoV-2. Characterize rAd3/7-SpyRBD using Western blot, ELISA, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and particle size measurement, and verify its immunogenicity through mouse immunization. RESULTS: We have successfully established a universal nanoparticle vaccine platform, rAd3/7-SpyTag, and the RBD protein was successfully displayed on the surface of rAd3/7-SpyTag. Compared with SpyCatcher-RBD, rAd3/7-SpyRBD can rapidly induce the production of antibodies and stronger immune responses. Both Spycatcher-RBD and rAd3/7-SpyRBD provide a protective immune response against BA.5 in mouse model mice and can be used as candidates for SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. We also found that rAd3/7-SpyRBD induced the production of neutralizing antibodies against Ad3 and Ad7, suggested that it could serve as an Ads vaccine candidate. CONCLUSION: We developed a universal nanoparticle vaccine platform and obtained a trivalent vaccine candidate rAd3/7-SpyRBD, against SARS-CoV-2, Ad3, and Ad7, and this is the first time to use SpyCatcher/SpyTag technology in a bivalent rAd3/7 vector for trivalent immunity.
引言:在新冠疫情期间,腺病毒(Ad)载体作为疫苗载体展现出显著功效。六邻体是主要的衣壳蛋白,多个高变区(HVRs)已被用于展示外源抗原并诱导强烈的抗体反应。 方法:我们利用SpyCatcher/SpyTag技术,分别将SpyTag整合到二价疫苗株rAd3/7六邻体的HVR2、4和7中,构建重组腺病毒rAd3/7-SpyTag。将与SpyCatcher融合的新冠病毒SARS-CoV-2 BA5.2株受体结合域(RBD)表达为SpyCatcher-RBD,在体外将SpyCatcher-RBD与rAd3/7-SpyTag孵育,制备一种针对SARS-CoV-2的新型纳米颗粒疫苗候选物rAd3/7-SpyRBD。使用蛋白质印迹法、酶联免疫吸附测定、透射电子显微镜(TEM)和粒度测量对rAd3/7-SpyRBD进行表征,并通过小鼠免疫验证其免疫原性。 结果:我们成功建立了一个通用的纳米颗粒疫苗平台rAd3/7-SpyTag,并且RBD蛋白成功展示在rAd3/7-SpyTag表面。与SpyCatcher-RBD相比,rAd3/7-SpyRBD能快速诱导抗体产生以及更强的免疫反应。SpyCatcher-RBD和rAd3/7-SpyRBD在小鼠模型中均能提供针对BA.5的保护性免疫反应,可作为SARS-CoV-2疫苗候选物。我们还发现rAd3/7-SpyRBD诱导产生了针对Ad3和Ad7的中和抗体,表明它可作为腺病毒疫苗候选物。 结论:我们开发了一个通用的纳米颗粒疫苗平台,并获得了一种针对SARS-CoV-2、Ad3和Ad7的三价疫苗候选物rAd3/7-SpyRBD,这是首次在二价rAd3/7载体中使用SpyCatcher/SpyTag技术实现三价免疫。
