SARS-CoV-2 was first identified in Wuhan, Hubei province, China, in late 2019 and spread within China and to other parts of the world by early 2020. Symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection include fever, dry cough, and dyspnea.
The genomic sequence of SARS-CoV-2 isolate Wuhan-Hu-1 is provided in SEQ
ID NO.:1 (see also GenBank MN908947.3, January 23, 2020), and the amino acid translation of the genome is provided in SEQ ID NO. :2 (see also GenBank QHD43416.1, January 23, 2020). Like other coronavinises (e.g., SARS- CoV-1), SARS-CoV-2 comprises a "spike" or surface ("S") type I transmembrane glycoprotein containing a receptor binding domain (RBD). RBD is believed to mediate entry of the lineage B SARS coronavirus to respiratory epithelial cells by binding to the cell surface receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). In particular, a receptor binding motif (RBM) in the virus RBD is believed to interact with ACE2. SARS CoV-2 S
protein also includes, N-terminal to the RBD and C-terminal to the S protein signal peptide, domain A (also referred-to as the N-terminal Domain or "NTD").
Antibodies of the present disclosure are specific for domain A.
The amino acid sequence of the Wuhan-Hu-1 surface glycoprotein is provided in SEQ ID NO.:3. The amino acid sequence of SARS-CoV-2 RBD is provided in SEQ
ID NO.:4. SARS-CoV-2 S protein has approximately 73% amino acid sequence identity with SARS-CoV-1. The amino acid sequence of SARS-CoV-2 RBM is provided in SEQ ID NO.:5. SARS-CoV-2 RBD has approximately 75% to 77% amino acid sequence similarity to SARS¨CoV-1 RBD, and SARS-CoV-2 RBM has approximately 50% amino acid sequence similarity to SARS-CoV-1 RBM.
Unless otherwise indicated herein, SARS-CoV-2 Wuhan-Hu-1 refers to a virus comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in any one or more of SEQ ID
NOs.:2, or 3, optionally with the genomic sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO.:1.
There have been a number of emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants.

In the present description, any concentration range, percentage range, ratio range, or integer range is to be understood to include the value of any integer within the recited range and, when appropriate, fractions thereof (such as one tenth and one hundredth of an integer), unless otherwise indicated. Also, any number range recited herein relating to any physical feature, such as polymer subunits, size or thickness, are to be understood to include any integer within the recited range, unless otherwise indicated. As used herein, the term "about" means 20% of the indicated range, value, or structure, unless otherwise indicated. In particular embodiments, "about"
comprises 5%, 10%, or 15%.
It should be understood that the terms "a" and "an" as used herein refer to "one or more" of the enumerated components. The use of the alternative (e.g., "or") should be understood to mean either one, both, or any combination thereof of the alternatives.
As used herein, the terms "include," "have," and "comprise" are used synonymously, which terms and variants thereof are intended to be construed as non-limiting.
"Optional" or "optionally" means that the subsequently described element, component, event, or circumstance may or may not occur, and that the description includes instances in which the element, component, event, or circumstance occurs and instances in which they do not.
In addition, it should be understood that the individual constructs, or groups of constructs, derived from the various combinations of the structures and subunits described herein, are disclosed by the present application to the same extent as if each construct or group of constructs was set forth individually. Thus, selection of particular structures or particular subunits is within the scope of the present disclosure.
The term "consisting essentially of' is not equivalent to "comprising" and refers to the specified materials or steps of a claim, or to those that do not materially affect the basic characteristics of a claimed subject matter. For example, a protein domain, region, or module (e.g., a binding domain) or a protein "consists essentially of' a particular amino acid sequence when the amino acid sequence of a domain, region, module, or protein includes extensions, deletions, mutations, or a combination thereof (e.g., amino acids at the amino- or carboxy-terminus or between domains) that, in combination, contribute to at most 20% (e.g., at most 15%, 10%, 8%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2% or 1%) of the length of a domain, region, module, or protein and do not substantially affect (i.e., do not reduce the activity by more than 50%, such as no more than 40%, 30%, 25%, 20%, 15%, 10%, 5%, or 1%) the activity of the domain(s), region(s), module(s), or protein (e.g., the target binding affinity of a binding protein).
As used herein, "amino acid" refers to naturally occurring and synthetic amino acids, as well as amino acid analogs and amino acid mimetics that function in a manner similar to the naturally occurring amino acids. Naturally occurring amino acids are those encoded by the genetic code, as well as those amino acids that are later modified, e.g., hydroxyproline, y-carboxyglutamate, and 0-phosphoserine. Amino acid analogs refer to compounds that have the same basic chemical structure as a naturally occurring amino acid, i.e., an a-carbon that is bound to a hydrogen, a carboxyl group, an amino group, and an R group, e.g., homoserine, norleucine, methionine sulfoxide, methionine methyl sulfonium. Such analogs have modified R groups (e.g., norleucine) or modified peptide backbones, but retain the same basic chemical structure as a naturally occurring amino acid. Amino acid mimetics refer to chemical compounds that have a structure that is different from the general chemical structure of an amino acid, but that functions in a manner similar to a naturally occurring amino acid.
As used herein, "mutation" refers to a change in the sequence of a nucleic acid molecule or polypeptide molecule as compared to a reference or wild-type nucleic acid molecule or polypepti de molecule, respectively A mutation can result in several different types of change in sequence, including substitution, insertion or deletion of nucleotide(s) or amino acid(s).
A "conservative substitution" refers to amino acid substitutions that do not significantly affect or alter binding characteristics of a particular protein.
Generally, conservative substitutions are ones in which a substituted amino acid residue is replaced with an amino acid residue having a similar side chain. Conservative substitutions include a substitution found in one of the following groups: Group 1: Alanine (Ala or A), Glycine (Gly or G), Serine (Ser or S), Threonine (Thr or T); Group 2:
Aspartic acid (Asp or D), Glutamic acid (Glu or Z); Group 3: Asparagine (Asn or N), Glutamine (Gln or Q); Group 4: Arginine (Arg or R), Lysine (Lys or K), Histidine (His or H);
Group 5:
Isoleucine (Ile or I), Leucine (Leu or L), Methionine (Met or M), Valine (Val or V); and Group 6: Phenylalanine (Phe or F), Tyrosine (Tyr or Y), Tryptophan (Trp or W).
Additionally or alternatively, amino acids can be grouped into conservative substitution groups by similar function, chemical structure, or composition (e.g., acidic, basic, aliphatic, aromatic, or sulfur-containing). For example, an aliphatic grouping may include, for purposes of substitution, Gly, Ala, Val, Leu, and Ile. Other conservative substitutions groups include: sulfur-containing: Met and Cysteine (Cys or C);
acidic:
Asp, Glu, Asn, and Gln; small aliphatic, nonpolar or slightly polar residues:
Ala, Ser, Thr, Pro, and Gly, polar, negatively charged residues and their amides: Asp, Asn, Glu, and Gln; polar, positively charged residues: His, Arg, and Lys; large aliphatic, nonpolar residues: Met, Leu, Ile, Val, and Cys; and large aromatic residues: Phe, Tyr, and Trp.
Additional information can be found in Creighton (1984) Proteins, W.H Freeman and Company.
As used herein, "protein" or "polypeptide" refers to a polymer of amino acid residues. Proteins apply to naturally occurring amino acid polymers, as well as to amino acid polymers in which one or more amino acid residue is an artificial chemical mimetic of a corresponding naturally occurring amino acid, and non-naturally occurring amino acid polymers. Variants of proteins, peptides, and polypeptides of this disclosure are also contemplated. In certain embodiments, variant proteins, peptides, and polypeptides comprise or consist of an amino acid sequence that is at least 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 99.9%
identical to an amino acid sequence of a defined or reference amino acid sequence as described herein.
"Nucleic acid molecule" or "polynucleotide" or "polynucleic acid" refers to a polymeric compound including covalently linked nucleotides, which can be made up of natural subunits (e.g., purine or pyrimidine bases) or non-natural subunits (e.g., morpholine ring). Purine bases include adenine, guanine, hypoxanthine, and xanthine, and pyrimidine bases include uracil, thymine, and cytosine. Nucleic acid molecules include polyribonucleic acid (RNA), which includes mRNA, microRNA, siRNA, viral genomic RNA, and synthetic RNA, and polydeoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which includes cDNA, genomic DNA, and synthetic DNA, either of which may be single or double stranded. If single-stranded, the nucleic acid molecule may be the coding strand or non-coding (anti-sense) strand. A nucleic acid molecule encoding an amino acid sequence includes all nucleotide sequences that encode the same amino acid sequence.
Some versions of the nucleotide sequences may also include intron(s) to the extent that the intron(s) would be removed through co- or post-transcriptional mechanisms.
In other words, different nucleotide sequences may encode the same amino acid sequence as the result of the redundancy or degeneracy of the genetic code, or by splicing.
Variants of nucleic acid molecules of this disclosure are also contemplated.
Variant nucleic acid molecules are at least 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, and are preferably 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 99.9% identical a nucleic acid molecule of a defined or reference polynucleotide as described herein, or that hybridize to a polynucleotide under stringent hybridization conditions of 0.015M sodium chloride, 0.0015M sodium citrate at about 65-68 C or 0.015M sodium chloride, 0.0015M
sodium citrate, and 50% formamide at about 42 C. Nucleic acid molecule variants retain the capacity to encode a binding domain thereof having a functionality described herein, such as binding a target molecule.
"Percent sequence identity" refers to a relationship between two or more sequences, as determined by comparing the sequences. Preferred methods to determine sequence identity are designed to give the best match between the sequences being compared For example, the sequences are aligned for optimal comparison purposes (e.g., gaps can be introduced in one or both of a first and a second amino acid or nucleic acid sequence for optimal alignment). Further, non-homologous sequences may be disregarded for comparison purposes. The percent sequence identity referenced herein is calculated over the length of the reference sequence, unless indicated otherwise.
Methods to determine sequence identity and similarity can be found in publicly available computer programs. Sequence alignments and percent identity calculations may be performed using a BLAST program (e.g., BLAST 2.0, BLASTP, BLASTN, or BLASTX). The mathematical algorithm used in the BLAST programs can be found in Altschul et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389-3402, 1997. Within the context of this disclosure, it will be understood that where sequence analysis software is used for analysis, the results of the analysis are based on the "default values" of the program referenced. "Default values" mean any set of values or parameters which originally load with the software when first initialized.
The term "isolated" means that the material is removed from its original environment (e.g., the natural environment if it is naturally occurring). For example, a naturally occurring nucleic acid or polypeptide present in a living animal is not isolated, but the same nucleic acid or polypeptide, separated from some or all of the co-existing materials in the natural system, is isolated. Such nucleic acid could be part of a vector and/or such nucleic acid or polypeptide could be part of a composition (e.g., a cell lysate), and still be isolated in that such vector or composition is not part of the natural environment for the nucleic acid or polypeptide. "Isolated" can, in some embodiments, also describe an antibody, antigen-binding fragment, polynucleotide, vector, host cell, or composition that is outside of a human body.
The term "gene" means the segment of DNA or RNA involved in producing a polypeptide chain; in certain contexts, it includes regions preceding and following the coding region (e.g., 5' untranslated region (UTR) and 3' UTR) as well as intervening sequences (introns) between individual coding segments (exons).
A "functional variant" refers to a polypeptide or polynucleotide that is structurally similar or substantially structurally similar to a parent or reference compound of this disclosure, but differs slightly in composition (e.g., one base, atom or functional group is different, added, or removed), such that the polypeptide or encoded polypeptide is capable of performing at least one function of the parent polypeptide with at least 50% efficiency, preferably at least 55%, 60%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.9%, or 100% level of activity of the parent polypeptide.
In other words, a functional variant of a polypeptide or encoded polypeptide of this disclosure has "similar binding," "similar affinity" or "similar activity"
when the functional variant displays no more than a 50% reduction in performance in a selected assay as compared to the parent or reference polypeptide, such as an assay for measuring binding affinity (e.g., Biacore or tetramer staining measuring an association (Ka) or a dissociation (Ku) constant).
As used herein, a "functional portion" or "functional fragment" refers to a polypeptide or polynucleotide that comprises only a domain, portion or fragment of a parent or reference compound, and the polypeptide or encoded polypeptide retains at least 50% activity associated with the domain, portion or fragment of the parent or reference compound, preferably at least 55%, 60%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.9%, or 100% level of activity of the parent polypeptide, or provides a biological benefit (e.g., effector function). A "functional portion" or "functional fragment" of a polypeptide or encoded polypeptide of this disclosure has "similar binding" or "similar activity" when the functional portion or fragment displays no more than a 50% reduction in performance in a selected assay as compared to the parent or reference polypeptide (preferably no more than 20% or 10%, or no more than a log difference as compared to the parent or reference with regard to affinity).
As used herein, the term "engineered," "recombinant," or "non-natural" refers to an organism, microorganism, cell, nucleic acid molecule, or vector that includes at least one genetic alteration or has been modified by introduction of an exogenous or heterologous nucleic acid molecule, wherein such alterations or modifications are introduced by genetic engineering (i.e., human intervention). Genetic alterations include, for example, modifications introducing expressible nucleic acid molecules encoding functional RNA, proteins, fusion proteins or enzymes, or other nucleic acid molecule additions, deletions, substitutions, or other functional disruption of a cell's genetic material. Additional modifications include, for example, non-coding regulatory regions in which the modifications alter expression of a polynucleotide, gene, or operon.
As used herein, "heterologous" or "non-endogenous" or "exogenous" refers to any gene, protein, compound, nucleic acid molecule, or activity that is not native to a host cell or a subject, or any gene, protein, compound, nucleic acid molecule, or activity native to a host cell or a subject that has been altered. Heterologous, non-endogenous, or exogenous includes genes, proteins, compounds, or nucleic acid molecules that have been mutated or otherwise altered such that the structure, activity, or both is different as between the native and altered genes, proteins, compounds, or nucleic acid molecules.
In certain embodiments, heterologous, non-endogenous, or exogenous genes, proteins, or nucleic acid molecules (e.g., receptors, ligands, etc.) may not be endogenous to a host cell or a subject, but instead nucleic acids encoding such genes, proteins, or nucleic acid molecules may have been added to a host cell by conjugation, transformation, transfection, electroporation, or the like, wherein the added nucleic acid molecule may integrate into a host cell genome or can exist as extra-chromosomal genetic material (e.g., as a plasmid or other self-replicating vector) The term "homologous" or "homolog" refers to a gene, protein, compound, nucleic acid molecule, or activity found in or derived from a host cell, species, or strain. For example, a heterologous or exogenous polynucleotide or gene encoding a polypeptide may be homologous to a native polynucleotide or gene and encode a homologous polypeptide or activity, but the polynucleotide or polypeptide may have an altered structure, sequence, expression level, or any combination thereof. A non-endogenous polynucleotide or gene, as well as the encoded polypeptide or activity, may be from the same species, a different species, or a combination thereof.
In certain embodiments, a nucleic acid molecule or portion thereof native to a host cell will be considered heterologous to the host cell if it has been altered or mutated, or a nucleic acid molecule native to a host cell may be considered heterologous if it has been altered with a heterologous expression control sequence or has been altered with an endogenous expression control sequence not normally associated with the nucleic acid molecule native to a host cell. In addition, the term "heterologous" can refer to a biological activity that is different, altered, or not endogenous to a host cell As described herein, more than one heterologous nucleic acid molecule can be introduced into a host cell as separate nucleic acid molecules, as a plurality of individually controlled genes, as a polycistronic nucleic acid molecule, as a single nucleic acid molecule encoding a fusion protein, or any combination thereof.
When As used herein, the term "endogenous" or "native" refers to a polynucleotide, gene, protein, compound, molecule, or activity that is normally present in a host cell or a subject.
The term "expression", as used herein, refers to the process by which a polypeptide is produced based on the encoding sequence of a nucleic acid molecule, such as a gene. The process may include transcription, post-transcriptional control, post-transcriptional modification, translation, post-translational control, post-translational modification, or any combination thereof An expressed nucleic acid molecule is typically operably linked to an expression control sequence (e.g., a promoter).
The term "operably linked" refers to the association of two or more nucleic acid molecules on a single nucleic acid fragment so that the function of one is affected by the other. For example, a promoter is operably linked with a coding sequence when it is capable of affecting the expression of that coding sequence (i.e., the coding sequence is under the transcriptional control of the promoter). "Unlinked" means that the associated genetic elements are not closely associated with one another and the function of one does not affect the other.
As described herein, more than one heterologous nucleic acid molecule can be introduced into a host cell as separate nucleic acid molecules, as a plurality of individually controlled genes, as a polycistronic nucleic acid molecule, as a single nucleic acid molecule encoding a protein (e.g., a heavy chain of an antibody), or any combination thereof. When two or more heterologous nucleic acid molecules are introduced into a host cell, it is understood that the two or more heterologous nucleic acid molecules can be introduced as a single nucleic acid molecule (e.g., on a single vector), on separate vectors, integrated into the host chromosome at a single site or multiple sites, or any combination thereof The number of referenced heterologous nucleic acid molecules or protein activities refers to the number of encoding nucleic acid molecules or the number of protein activities, not the number of separate nucleic acid molecules introduced into a host cell.
The term "construct" refers to any polynucleotide that contains a recombinant nucleic acid molecule (or, when the context clearly indicates, a fusion protein of the present disclosure). A (polynucleotide) construct may be present in a vector (e.g., a bacterial vector, a viral vector) or may be integrated into a genome. A
"vector" is a nucleic acid molecule that is capable of transporting another nucleic acid molecule.
Vectors may be, for example, plasmids, cosmids, viruses, a RNA vector or a linear or circular DNA or RNA molecule that may include chromosomal, non-chromosomal, semi-synthetic or synthetic nucleic acid molecules. Vectors of the present disclosure also include transposon systems (e.g., Sleeping Beauty, see, e.g., Geurts et al., Mol.
Ther. 8:108, 2003: Mates et al, Nat. Genet. 41:753, 2009). Exemplary vectors are those capable of autonomous replication (episomal vector), capable of delivering a polynucleotide to a cell genome (e.g., viral vector), or capable of expressing nucleic acid molecules to which they are linked (expression vectors).
As used herein, "expression vector" or "vector" refers to a DNA construct containing a nucleic acid molecule that is operably linked to a suitable control sequence capable of effecting the expression of the nucleic acid molecule in a suitable host. Such control sequences include a promoter to effect transcription, an optional operator sequence to control such transcription, a sequence encoding suitable mRNA
ribosome binding sites, and sequences which control termination of transcription and translation.
The vector may be a plasmid, a phage particle, a virus, or simply a potential genomic insert. Once transformed into a suitable host, the vector may replicate and function independently of the host genome, or may, in some instances, integrate into the genome itself or deliver the polynucleotide contained in the vector into the genome without the vector sequence. In the present specification, "plasmid," "expression plasmid," "virus,"
and "vector" are often used interchangeably.
The term "introduced" in the context of inserting a nucleic acid molecule into a cell, means "transfection", "transformation," or "transduction" and includes reference to the incorporation of a nucleic acid molecule into a eukaryotic or prokaryotic cell wherein the nucleic acid molecule may be incorporated into the genome of a cell (e.g., chromosome, plasmid, plastid, or mitochondrial DNA), converted into an autonomous replicon, or transiently expressed (e.g., transfected mRNA).
In certain embodiments, polynucleotides of the present disclosure may be operatively linked to certain elements of a vector. For example, polynucleotide sequences that are needed to effect the expression and processing of coding sequences to which they are ligated may be operatively linked. Expression control sequences may include appropriate transcription initiation, termination, promoter, and enhancer sequences; efficient RNA processing signals such as splicing and polyadenylation signals; sequences that stabilize cytoplasmic mRNA; sequences that enhance translation efficiency (i.e., Kozak consensus sequences); sequences that enhance protein stability;
and possibly sequences that enhance protein secretion. Expression control sequences may be operatively linked if they are contiguous with the gene of interest and expression control sequences that act in trans or at a distance to control the gene of interest.
In certain embodiments, the vector comprises a plasmid vector or a viral vector (e.g., a lentiviral vector or a y-retroviral vector). Viral vectors include retrovirus, 1.5 adenovirus, parvovirus (e.g., adeno-associated viruses), coronavirus, negative strand RNA viruses such as ortho-myxovirus (e.g., influenza virus), rhabdovirus (e.g., rabies and vesicular stomatitis virus), paramyxovirus (e.g., measles and Sendai), positive strand RNA viruses such as picornavirus and alphavirus, and double-stranded DNA
viruses including adenovirus, herpesvirus (e.g., Herpes Simplex virus types 1 and 2, Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus), and poxvirus (e.g., vaccini a, fowlpox, and canarypox). Other viruses include, for example, Norwalk virus, togavirus, flavivirus, reoviruses, papovavirus, hepadnavirus, and hepatitis virus. Examples of retroviruses include avian leukosis-sarcoma, mammalian C-type, B-type viruses, D type viruses, HTLV-BLV group, lentivirus, spumavirus (Coffin, J. M., Retroviridae: The viruses and their replication, In Fundamental Virology, Third Edition, B. N. Fields et al., Eds., Lippincott-Raven Publishers, Philadelphia, 1996).
"Retroviruses" are viruses having an RNA genome, which is reverse-transcribed into DNA using a reverse transcriptase enzyme, the reverse-transcribed DNA is then incorporated into the host cell genome. "Gammaretrovirus" refers to a genus of the retroviridae family. Examples of gammaretroviruses include mouse stem cell virus, murine leukemia virus, feline leukemia virus, feline sarcoma virus, and avian reticuloendotheliosis viruses.
"Lentiviral vectors" include HIV-based lentiviral vectors for gene delivery, which can be integrative or non-integrative, have relatively large packaging capacity, and can transduce a range of different cell types. Lentiviral vectors are usually generated following transient transfection of three (packaging, envelope, and transfer) or more plasmids into producer cells. Like HIV, lentiviral vectors enter the target cell through the interaction of viral surface glycoproteins with receptors on the cell surface.
On entry, the viral RNA undergoes reverse transcription, which is mediated by the viral reverse transcriptase complex. The product of reverse transcription is a double-stranded linear viral DNA, which is the substrate for viral integration into the DNA of infected cells.
In certain embodiments, the viral vector can be a gammaretrovirus, e.g., Moloney murine leukemia virus (MLV)-derived vectors. In other embodiments, the viral vector can be a more complex retrovirus-derived vector, e.g., a lentivirus-derived vector. HIV-1-derived vectors belong to this category. Other examples include lentivirus vectors derived from HIV-2, Fly, equine infectious anemia virus, Sly, and Maedi-Visna virus (ovine lentivirus). Methods of using retroviral and lentiviral viral vectors and packaging cells for transducing mammalian host cells with viral particles containing transgenes are known in the art and have been previous described, for example, in: U.S. Patent 8,119,772; Walchli et at., PLoS One 6:327930, 2011;

Other viral vectors also can be used for polynucleotide delivery including DNA viral vectors, including, for example adenovirus-based vectors and adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based vectors; vectors derived from herpes simplex viruses (HSVs), including amplicon vectors, replication-defective HSV and attenuated HSV (Krisky et at., Gene Ther. 5:1517 , 1998).
Other vectors that can be used with the compositions and methods of this disclosure include those derived from baculoviruses and a-viruses. (Jolly, D
J. 1999.
Emerging Viral Vectors. pp 209-40 in Friedmann T. ed. The Development of Human Gene Therapy. New York: Cold Spring Harbor Lab), or plasmid vectors (such as sleeping beauty or other transposon vectors).
When a viral vector genome comprises a plurality of polynueleotides to be expressed in a host cell as separate transcripts, the viral vector may also comprise additional sequences between the two (or more) transcripts allowing for bicistronic or multicistronic expression. Examples of such sequences used in viral vectors include internal ribosome entry sites (IRES), furin cleavage sites, viral 2A peptide, or any combination thereof.
Plasmid vectors, including DNA-based antibody or antigen-binding fragment-encoding plasmid vectors for direct administration to a subject, are described further herein.
As used herein, the term "host" refers to a cell or microorganism targeted for genetic modification with a heterologous nucleic acid molecule to produce a polypeptide of interest (e.g., an antibody of the present disclosure).
A host cell may include any individual cell or cell culture which may receive a vector or the incorporation of nucleic acids or express proteins. The term also encompasses progeny of the host cell, whether genetically or phenotypically the same or different. Suitable host cells may depend on the vector and may include mammalian cells, animal cells, human cells, simian cells, insect cells, yeast cells, and bacterial cells.
These cells may be induced to incorporate the vector or other material by use of a viral vector, transformation via calcium phosphate precipitation, DEAE-dextran, el ectroporati on, mi croinj ecti on, or other methods. See, for example, Sambrook etal., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual 2d ed. (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 1989).
In the context of a SARS-CoV-2 infection, a "host" refers to a cell or a subject infected with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.
"Antigen" or "Ag", as used herein, refers to an immunogenic molecule that provokes an immune response. This immune response may involve antibody production, activation of specific immunologically-competent cells, activation of complement, antibody dependent cytotoxicicity, or any combination thereof An antigen (immunogenic molecule) may be, for example, a peptide, glycopeptide, polypeptide, glycopolypeptide, polynucleotide, polysaccharide, lipid, or the like. It is readily apparent that an antigen can be synthesized, produced recombinantly, or derived from a biological sample. Exemplary biological samples that can contain one or more antigens include tissue samples, stool samples, cells, biological fluids, or combinations thereof. Antigens can be produced by cells that have been modified or genetically engineered to express an antigen. Antigens can also be present in a SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (e.g., a surface glycoprotein or portion thereof), such as present in a virion, or expressed or presented on the surface of a cell infected by SARS-CoV-2.
The term "epitope" or "antigenic epitope" includes any molecule, structure, amino acid sequence, or protein determinant that is recognized and specifically bound by a cognate binding molecule, such as an immunoglobulin, or other binding molecule, domain, or protein. Epitopic determinants generally contain chemically active surface groupings of molecules, such as amino acids or sugar side chains, and can have specific three-dimensional structural characteristics, as well as specific charge characteristics.
Where an antigen is or comprises a peptide or protein, the epitope can be comprised of consecutive amino acids (e.g., a linear epitope), or can be comprised of amino acids from different parts or regions of the protein that are brought into proximity by protein folding (e.g., a discontinuous or conformational epitope), or non-contiguous amino acids that are in close proximity irrespective of protein folding.
Antibodies, Antigen-Binding Fragments, and Compositions In one aspect, the present disclosure provides an isolated antibody, or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, that comprises a heavy chain variable domain (VH) comprising a CDRH1, a CDRH2, and a CDRH3, and a light chain variable domain (VL) comprising a CDRL1, a CDRL2, and a CDRL3, and is capable of binding to a surface glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2, in particular in an epitope that is at least partially comprised in or defined by Domain A. In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is capable of binding to a surface glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 expressed on a cell surface of a host cell and/or on a SARS-CoV-2 virion In certain embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present disclosure associates with or unites with a SARS-CoV-2 surface glycoprotein Domain A epitope or antigen comprising the epitope, while not significantly associating or uniting with any other molecules or components in a sample.
In certain embodiments, an antibody or antigen binding fragment of the present disclosure is cross-reactive for SARS-CoV-2 and one or more additional sarbecovirus of clade 2, but not of clade 1 or clade 3. In certain embodiments, an antibody or antigen binding fragment of the present disclosure is not cross-reactive against an embecovirus, a merbecovirus, or both.
In certain embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present disclosure specifically binds to a SARS-CoV-2 surface glycoprotein. As used herein, "specifically binds" refers to an association or union of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment to an antigen with an affinity or Ka (i.e., an equilibrium association constant of a particular binding interaction with units of 1/M) equal to or greater than 1051\44 (which equals the ratio of the on-rate [Km] to the off rate [Karr] for this association reaction), while not significantly associating or uniting with any other molecules or components in a sample. Alternatively, affinity may be defined as an equilibrium dissociation constant (Ka) of a particular binding interaction with units of M
(e.g., 10-5 M to 10-13 M). Antibodies may be classified as "high-affinity" antibodies or as "low-affinity" antibodies. "High-affinity" antibodies refer to those antibodies having a Ka of at least 107M4, at least 1081\41, at least 109 M-1, at least 1010 M-1, at least 1011 M4, at least 1012M4, or at least 10'3 M4 "Low-affinity" antibodies refer to those antibodies having a Ka of up to 107M4, up to 106 M-", up to 105 M1. Alternatively, affinity may be defined as an equilibrium dissociation constant (Ka) of a particular binding interaction with units of M (e.g., le M to I 013 M) In some contexts, antibody and antigen-binding fragments may be described with reference to affinity and/or to avidity for antigen. Unless otherwise indicated, avidity refers to the total binding strength of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof to antigen, and reflects binding affinity, valency of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment (e.g., whether the antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, or more binding sites), and, for example, whether another agent is present that can affect the binding (e.g., a non-competitive inhibitor of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment).
A variety of assays are known for identifying antibodies of the present disclosure that bind a particular target, as well as determining binding domain or binding protein affinities, such as Western blot, ELISA (e.g., direct, indirect, or sandwich), analytical ultracentrifugation, spectroscopy, and surface plasmon resonance (Biacoreg) analysis (see, e.g., Scatchard et al., Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. 51:660, 1949;
Wilson, Science 295:2103, 2002; Wolff et al., Cancer Res. 53:2560, 1993; and U.S.
Patent Nos. 5,283,173, 5,468,614, or the equivalent). Assays for assessing affinity or apparent affinity or relative affinity are also known.
In certain examples, binding can be determined by recombinantly expressing a SARS-CoV-2 antigen in a host cell (e.g., by transfection) and immunostaining the (e.g., fixed, or fixed and permeabilized) host cell with antibody and analyzing binding by flow cytometry (e.g., using a ZE5 Cell Analyzer (BioRadg) and FlowJo software (TreeStar). In some embodiments, positive binding can be defined by differential staining by antibody of SARS-CoV-2 -expressing cells versus control (e.g., mock) cells.
In some embodiments an antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present disclosure binds to SARS-CoV-2 S protein, as measured using biolayer interferometry.
In certain embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present disclosure binds to SARS-CoV-2 S protein with a KD of less than about 4.5x109 M, less than about 5x109 M, less than about 1x104 M, less than about 5x104 M, less than about 1x10-11 M, less than about 5x10-11 M, less than about 1x10'2 M, or less than about 5x1012 M.
Certain characteristics of presently disclosed antibodies or antigen-binding fragments may be described using IC50 or EC50 values. In certain embodiments, the IC50 is the concentration of a composition (e.g., antibody) that results in half-maximal inhibition of the indicated biological or biochemical function, activity, or response. In certain embodiments, the EC50 is the concentration of a composition that provides the half-maximal response in the assay. In some embodiments, e.g., for describing the ability of a presently disclosed antibody or antigen-binding fragment to neutralize infection by SARS-CoV-2, IC50 and EC50 are used interchangeably.
In certain embodiments, an antibody of the present disclosure is capable of neutralizing infection by SARS-CoV-2. As used herein, a "neutralizing antibody" is one that can neutralize, i.e., prevent, inhibit, reduce, impede, or interfere with, the ability of a pathogen to initiate and/or perpetuate an infection in a host.
Neutralization may be quantified by, for example, assessing SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels in a(n e.g.
lung) sample, assessing SARS-CoV-2 viral load in a(n e.g. lung) sample, assessing histopathology of a(n e.g. lung) sample, or the like. The terms "neutralizing antibody"
and "an antibody that neutralizes" or "antibodies that neutralize" are used interchangeably herein. In any of the presently disclosed embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is capable of preventing and/or neutralizing a SARS-CoV-2 infection in an in vitro model of infection and/or in an in vivo animal model of infection (e.g., using a Syrian hamster model with intranasal delivery of SARS-CoV-2) and/or in a human.
In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment (i) recognizes an epitope in the Domain A of SARS-CoV-2; (ii) is capable of neutralizing a SARS
CoV-2 infection; (iii) is capable of eliciting at least one immune effector function against SARS CoV-2; (iv) is capable of preventing shedding, from a cell infected with SARS CoV-2, of Si protein; or (v) any combination of (i)-(iv).
Terms understood by those in the art of antibody technology are each given the meaning acquired in the art, unless expressly defined differently herein. For example, the term "antibody" refers to an intact antibody comprising at least two heavy (H) chains and two light (L) chains inter-connected by disulfide bonds, as well as any antigen-binding portion or fragment of an intact antibody that has or retains the ability to bind to the antigen target molecule recognized by the intact antibody, such as an scFv, Fab, or Fab'2 fragment. Thus, the term "antibody" herein is used in the broadest sense and includes polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies, including intact antibodies and functional (antigen-binding) antibody fragments thereof, including fragment antigen binding (Fab) fragments, F(abl)2 fragments, Fab fragments, Fv fragments, recombinant IgG (rIgG) fragments, single chain antibody fragments, including single chain variable fragments (scFv), and single domain antibodies (e.g., sdAb, sdFv, nanobody) fragments. The term encompasses genetically engineered and/or otherwise modified forms of immunoglobulins, such as intrabodies, peptibodies, chimeric antibodies, fully human antibodies, humanized antibodies, and heteroconjugate antibodies, multispecific, e.g., bispecific antibodies, diabodies, triabodies, tetrabodies, tandem di-scFv, and tandem tri-scFv. Unless otherwise stated, the term "antibody"
should be understood to encompass functional antibody fragments thereof. The term also encompasses intact or full-length antibodies, including antibodies of any class or sub-class, including IgG and sub-classes thereof (IgGl, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4), IgM, IgE, IgA, and IgD.
The terms "VL" or "VL" and "VH" or "VH" refer to the variable binding region from an antibody light chain and an antibody heavy chain, respectively. In certain embodiments, a VL is a kappa (lc) class (also "VK" herein). In certain embodiments, a VL is a lambda (X) class. The variable binding regions comprise discrete, well-defined sub-regions known as "complementarity determining regions" (CDRs) and "framework regions" (FRs). The terms "complementarity determining region," and "CDR," are synonymous with "hypervariable region" or "HVR," and refer to sequences of amino acids within antibody variable regions, which, in general, together confer the antigen specificity and/or binding affinity of the antibody, wherein consecutive CDRs (i.e., CDR1 and CDR2, CDR2 and CDR3) are separated from one another in primary structure by a framework region. There are three CDRs in each variable region (HCDR1, HCDR2, HCDR3; LCDR1, LCDR2, LCDR3; also referred to as CDRHs and CDRLs, respectively). In certain embodiments, an antibody VH comprises four FRs and three CDRs as follows: FR1-HCDR1-FR2-HCDR2-FR3-HCDR3-FR4; and an antibody VL comprises four FRs and three CDRs as follows: FR1-LCDR1-FR2-LCDR2-FR3-LCDR3-FR4. In general, the VH and the VL together form the antigen-binding site through their respective CDRs.
As used herein, a "variant" of a CDR refers to a functional variant of a CDR
sequence having up to 1-3 amino acid substitutions (e.g., conservative or non-conservative substitutions), deletions, or combinations thereof.
Numbering of CDR and framework regions may be according to any known method or scheme, such as the Kabat, Chothia, EU, IMGT, and AHo numbering schemes (see, e.g., Kabat et al., " Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, US
Dept. Health and Human Services, Public Health Service National Institutes of Health, 1991, 5th ed.; Chothia and Lesk, J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917 (1987)); Lefranc et al., Dev.
Comp. Immunol. 27:55, 2003; Honegger and Pltickthun, J. Mol. Bio. 309:657-670 (2001)). Equivalent residue positions can be annotated and for different molecules to be compared using Antigen receptor Numbering And Receptor Classification (ANARCI) software tool (2016, Bioinformatics 15:298-300). Accordingly, identification of CDRs of an exemplary variable domain (VH or VL) sequence as provided herein according to one numbering scheme is not exclusive of an antibody comprising CDRs of the same variable domain as determined using a different numbering scheme. In certain embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment is provided that comprises CDRs in a VH sequence according to any one of SEQ

The term "CL" refers to an "immunoglobulin light chain constant region" or a "light chain constant region," i.e., a constant region from an antibody light chain. The term "CH" refers to an "immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region" or a "heavy chain constant region," which is further divisible, depending on the antibody isotype into CHL CH2, and CH3 (IgA, IgD, IgG), or CHL CH2, CH3, and CH4 domains (IgE, IgM) The Fc region of an antibody heavy chain is described further herein In any of the presently disclosed embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present disclosure comprises any one or more of CL, a CHI, a CH2, and a CH3.
In certain embodiments, a CL comprises an amino acid sequence having 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100% identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO. :8 or SEQ ID NO.: 9. In certain embodiments, a CH1-CH2-CH3 comprises an amino acid sequence having 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100% identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO. :6 or SEQ
ID NO.:7.
It will be understood that, for example, production in a mammalian cell line can remove one or more C-terminal lysine of an antibody heavy chain (see, e.g., Liu et al.
mAbs 6(5):1145-1154 (2014)). Accordingly, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present disclosure can comprise a heavy chain, a CH1-CH3, a CH3, or an Fc polypeptide wherein a C-terminal lysine residue is present or is absent; in other words, encompassed are embodiments where the C-terminal residue of a heavy chain, a CH3, or an Fc polypeptide is not a lysine (e.g., is a glycine), and embodiments where a lysine is the C-terminal residue. In certain embodiments, a composition comprises a plurality of an antibody and/or an antigen-binding fragment of the present disclosure, wherein one or more antibody or antigen-binding fragment does not comprise a lysine residue at the C-terminal end of the heavy chain, CH1-CH3, or Fc polypeptide, and wherein one or more antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises a lysine residue at the C-terminal end of the heavy chain, CH1-CH3, or Fc polypeptide.
A "Fab" (fragment antigen binding) is the part of an antibody that binds to antigens and includes the variable region and CH1 of the heavy chain linked to the light chain via an inter-chain disulfide bond. Each Fab fragment is monovalent with respect to antigen binding, i.e., it has a single antigen-binding site. Pepsin treatment of an antibody yields a single large F(ab')2 fragment that roughly corresponds to two disulfide linked Fab fragments having divalent antigen-binding activity and is still capable of cross-linking antigen. Both the Fab and F(ab')2 are examples of "antigen-binding fragments." Fab' fragments differ from Fab fragments by having additional few residues at the carboxy terminus of the CH1 domain including one or more cysteines from the antibody hinge region Fab'-SH is the designation herein for Fab' in which the cysteine residue(s) of the constant domains bear a free thiol group. F(ab')2 antibody fragments originally were produced as pairs of Fab' fragments that have hinge cysteines between them. Other chemical couplings of antibody fragments are also known.
Fab fragments may be joined, e.g., by a peptide linker, to form a single chain Fab, also referred to herein as "scFab." In these embodiments, an inter-chain disulfide bond that is present in a native Fab may not be present, and the linker serves in full or in part to link or connect the Fab fragments in a single polypeptide chain. A
heavy chain-derived Fab fragment (e.g., comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of VH +
CH1, or "Fd") and a light chain-derived Fab fragment (e.g., comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of VL + CL) may be linked in any arrangement to form a scFab. For example, a scFab may be arranged, in N-terminal to C-terminal direction, according to (heavy chain Fab fragment ¨ linker ¨ light chain Fab fragment) or (light chain Fab fragment ¨ linker ¨ heavy chain Fab fragment). Peptide linkers and exemplary linker sequences for use in scFabs are discussed in further detail herein.
"Fv" is a small antibody fragment that contains a complete antigen-recognition and antigen-binding site. This fragment generally consists of a dimer of one heavy- and one light-chain variable region domain in tight, non-covalent association.
However, even a single variable domain (or half of an Fv comprising only three CDRs specific for an antigen) can have the ability to recognize and bind antigen, although typically at a lower affinity than the entire binding site.
"Single-chain Fv" also abbreviated as "sFv" or "scFv", are antibody fragments that comprise the VH and VL antibody domains connected into a single polypeptide chain. In some embodiments, the scFv polypeptide comprises a polypeptide linker disposed between and linking the Vu and VL domains that enables the scFv to retain or form the desired structure for antigen binding. Such a peptide linker can be incorporated into a fusion polypeptide using standard techniques well known in the art.
For a review of scFv, see Pluckthun in The Pharmacology of Monoclonal Antibodies, vol. 113, Rosenburg and Moore eds., Springer-Verlag, New York, pp. 269-315 (1994);
Borrebaeck 1995, infra. In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises a scFv comprising a VH domain, a VL domain, and a peptide linker linking the VH domain to the VL domain In particular embodiments, a scFv comprises a VH domain linked to a VL domain by a peptide linker, which can be in a VH-linker-VL orientation or in a VL-linker-VH orientation. Any scFv of the present disclosure may be engineered so that the C-terminal end of the VL domain is linked by a short peptide sequence to the N-terminal end of the VH domain, or vice versa (i.e., (N)VL(C)-linker-(N)VH(C) or (N)VH(C)-linker-(N)VL(C). Alternatively, in some embodiments, a linker may be linked to an N-terminal portion or end of the VH
domain, the VL domain, or both.
Peptide linker sequences may be chosen, for example, based on: (1) their ability to adopt a flexible extended conformation; (2) their inability or lack of ability to adopt a secondary structure that could interact with functional epitopes on the first and second polypeptides and/or on a target molecule; and/or (3) the lack or relative lack of hydrophobic or charged residues that might react with the polypeptides and/or target molecule. Other considerations regarding linker design (e.g., length) can include the conformation or range of conformations in which the VH and VL can form a functional antigen-binding site. In certain embodiments, peptide linker sequences contain, for example, Gly, Asn and Ser residues. Other near neutral amino acids, such as Thr and Ala, may also be included in a linker sequence. Other amino acid sequences which may be usefully employed as linker include those disclosed in Maratea et al., Gene 40:39 46 (1985); Murphy et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 83:8258 8262 (1986); U.S.
Pat. No.
4,935,233, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,751,180. Other illustrative and non-limiting examples of linkers may include, for example, Glu-Gly-Lys-Ser-Ser-Gly-Ser-Gly-Ser-Glu-Ser-Lys-Val-Asp (SEQ ID NO: 19) (Chaudhary et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87:1066-1070 (1990)) and Lys-Glu-Ser-Gly-Ser-Val-Ser-Ser-Glu-Gln-Leu-Ala-Gln-Phe-Arg-Ser-Leu-Asp (SEQ ID NO: 20) (Bird et al., Science 242:423-426 (1988)) and the pentamer Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Ser (SEQ ID NO: 21) when present in a single iteration or repeated Ito 5 or more times, or more; see, e.g., SEQ ID NO: 17. Any suitable linker may be used, and in general can be about 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 15 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 amino acids in length, or less than about 200 amino acids in length, and will preferably comprise a flexible structure (can provide flexibility and room for conformational movement between two regions, domains, motifs, fragments, or modules connected by the linker), and will preferably be biologically inert and/or have a low risk of immunogenicity in a human. Exemplary linkers include those comprising or consisting of the amino acid sequence set forth in any one or more of SEQ ID NOs: 10-21.
In certain embodiments, the linker comprises or consists of an amino acid sequence having at least 75% (i.e., at least about 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or more) identity to the amino acid sequence set forth in any one of SEQ ID NOs: 10-21.
scFvs can be constructed using any combination of the VH and VL sequences or any combination of the CDRH1, CDRH2, CDRH3, CDRL1, CDRL2, and CDRL3 sequences disclosed herein.
In some embodiments, linker sequences are not required; for example, when the first and second polypeptides have non-essential N-terminal amino acid regions that can be used to separate the functional domains and prevent steric interference.
During antibody development, DNA in the germline variable (V), joining (J), and diversity (D) gene loci may be rearranged and insertions and/or deletions of nucleotides in the coding sequence may occur. Somatic mutations may be encoded by the resultant sequence, and can be identified by reference to a corresponding known germline sequence. In some contexts, somatic mutations that are not critical to a desired property of the antibody (e.g., binding to a SARS-CoV-2 antigen), or that confer an undesirable property upon the antibody (e.g., an increased risk of immunogenicity in a subject administered the antibody), or both, may be replaced by the corresponding germline-encoded amino acid, or by a different amino acid, so that a desirable property of the antibody is improved or maintained and the undesirable property of the antibody is reduced or abrogated. Thus, in some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present disclosure comprises at least one more germline-encoded amino acid in a variable region as compared to a parent antibody or antigen-binding fragment, provided that the parent antibody or antigen binding fragment comprises one or more somatic mutations. Variable region and CDR
amino acid sequences of exemplary anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies of the present disclosure are provided in Table 1 herein.
In certain embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises an amino acid modification (e.g., a substitution mutation) to remove an undesired risk of oxidation, deamidation, and/or isomerization.
Also provided herein are variant antibodies that comprise one or more amino acid alterations in a variable region (e.g., VH, VL, framework or CDR) as compared to a presently disclosed ("parent") antibody, wherein the variant antibody is capable of binding to a SARS-CoV-2 antigen.

together form a second antigen-binding site.
In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises a Fc polypeptide, or a fragment thereof. The "Fc" fragment or Fc polypeptide comprises the carboxy-terminal portions (i.e., the CH2 and CH3 domains of IgG) of both antibody H chains held together by disulfides. Antibody "effector functions" refer to those biological activities attributable to the Fc region (a native sequence Fc region or amino acid sequence variant Fc region) of an antibody, and vary with the antibody isotype.
Examples of antibody effector functions include: Clq binding and complement dependent cytotoxicity; Fc receptor binding; antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), phagocytosis, down regulation of cell surface receptors (e.g., B
cell receptor); and B cell activation. As discussed herein, modifications (e.g., amino acid substitutions) may be made to an Fc domain in order to modify (e.g., improve, reduce, or ablate) one or more functionality of an Fc-containing polypeptide (e.g., an antibody of the present disclosure). Such functions include, for example, Fc receptor (FcR) binding, antibody half-life modulation (e.g., by binding to FcRn), ADCC
function, protein A binding, protein G binding, and complement binding. Amino acid modifications that modify (e.g., improve, reduce, or ablate) Fc functionalities include, for example, the T250Q/M428L, M252Y/S254T/T256E, H433K/N434F, M428L/N434S, E233P/L234V/L235A/G236 + A327G/A330S/P331S, E333A, S239D/A330L/I332E, P2571/Q311, K326W/E333S, S239D/I332E/G236A, N297Q, K322A, S228P, L235E + E318A/K320A/K322A, L234A/L235A (also referred to herein as "LALA"), and L234A/L235A/P329G mutations, which mutations are summarized and annotated in "Engineered Fc Regions", published by InvivoGen (2011) and available online at invivogen.com/PDF/review/review-Engineered-Fc-Regions-invivogen.pdf?utm source=review&utm medium=pdf&utm campaign=review&utm content=Engineered-Fc-Regions, and are incorporated herein by reference. Unless the context indicates otherwise, Fc amino acid residues are numbered herein according to the EU numbering system.
For example, to activate the complement cascade, the Clq protein complex can bind to at least two molecules of IgG1 or one molecule of IgM when the immunoglobulin molecule(s) is attached to the antigenic target (Ward, E. S., and Ghetie, V., Ther. Immunol 2 (1995) 77-94). Burton, D. R., described (Mol.
Immtmol.
22 (1985) 161-206) that the heavy chain region comprising amino acid residues 318 to 337 is involved in complement fixation. Duncan, A. R., and Winter, G. (Nature (1988) 738-740), using site directed mutagenesis, reported that Glu318, Lys320 and Lys322 form the binding site to Clq. The role of Glu318, Lys320 and Lys 322 residues in the binding of Clq was confirmed by the ability of a short synthetic peptide containing these residues to inhibit complement mediated lysis.
For example, FcR binding can be mediated by the interaction of the Fc moiety (of an antibody) with Fc receptors (FcRs), which are specialized cell surface receptors on cells including hematopoietic cells. Fe receptors belong to the immunoglobulin superfamily, and shown to mediate both the removal of antibody-coated pathogens by phagocytosis of immune complexes, and the lysis of erythrocytes and various other cellular targets (e.g. tumor cells) coated with the corresponding antibody, via antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC; Van de Winkel, J. G., and Anderson, C.
L., J. Leukoc. Biol. 49 (1991) 511-524). FcRs are defined by their specificity for immunoglobulin classes; Fc receptors for IgG antibodies are referred to as FcyR, for IgE as Fcall, for IgA as FcaR and so on and neonatal Fc receptors are referred to as FcRn. Fc receptor binding is described for example in Ravetch, J. V., and Kinet, J. P., Annu. Rev. Immunol. 9 (1991) 457-492; Capel, P. J., et al., Immunomethods 4 (1994) 25-34; de Haas, M., et al., J Lab. Cl/n. Med. 126 (1995) 330-341; and Gessner, J. E., et al., Ann. Hematol. 76 (1998) 231-248 Cross-linking of receptors by the Fc domain of native IgG antibodies (FcyR) triggers a wide variety of effector functions including phagocytosis, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, and release of inflammatory mediators, as well as immune complex clearance and regulation of antibody production. Fc moieties providing cross-linking of receptors (e.g., FcyR) are contemplated herein. In humans, three classes of FcyR have been characterized to-date, which are: (i) FcyRI (CD64), which binds monomeric IgG with high affinity and is expressed on macrophages, monocytes, neutrophils and eosinophils; (ii) FcyRII (CD32), which binds complexed IgG
with medium to low affinity, is widely expressed, in particular on leukocytes, is believed to be a central player in antibody-mediated immunity, and which can be divided into FcyRITA, FcyRII,B and FeyRITC, which perform different functions in the immune system, but bind with similar low affinity to the IgG-Fe, and the ectodomains of these receptors are highly homologuous; and (iii) FcyRIII (CD16), which binds IgG
with medium to low affinity and has been found in two forms: FeyRITIA, which has been found on NK cells, macrophages, eosinophils, and some monocytes and T cells, and is believed to mediate ADCC; and FcyRIII,B, which is highly expressed on neutrophils.
FcyRITA is found on many cells involved in killing (e.g. macrophages, monocytes, neutrophils) and seems able to activate the killing process. FcyRIM
seems to play a role in inhibitory processes and is found on B-cells, macrophages and on mast cells and eosinophils. Importantly, it has been shown that 75% of all FcyRIIB
is found in the liver (Ganesan, L. P. et al., 2012: "FcyRIIb on liver sinusoidal endothelium clears small immune complexes," Journal of Immunology 189: 4981-4988). FeyMIB is abundantly expressed on Liver Sinusoidal Endothelium, called LSEC, and in Kupffer cells in the liver and LSEC are the major site of small immune complexes clearance (Ganesan, L. P. et al., 2012: FcyRIIb on liver sinusoidal endothelium clears small immune complexes. Journal of Immunology 189: 4981-4988).
In some embodiments, the antibodies disclosed herein and the antigen-binding fragments thereof comprise an Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof for binding to FeyRIIb, in particular an Fc region, such as, for example IgG-type antibodies.
Moreover, it is possible to engineer the Fc moiety to enhance FcyRIM binding by introducing the mutations S267E and L328F as described by Chu, S. Y. et al., 2008:
Inhibition of B cell receptor-mediated activation of primary human B cells by coengagement of CD 19 and FcgammaRII13 with Fc-engineered antibodies.
Molecular Immunology 45,3926-3933. Thereby, the clearance of immune complexes can be enhanced (Chu, S., et al., 2014: Accelerated Clearance of IgE In Chimpanzees Is Mediated By Xmab7195, An Fc-Engineered Antibody With Enhanced Affinity For Inhibitory Receptor FcyRIIb. Am J Respir Crit, American Thoracic Society International Conference Abstracts). In some embodiments, the antibodies of the present disclosure, or the antigen binding fragments thereof, comprise an engineered Fc moiety with the mutations S267E and L328F, in particular as described by Chu, S. Y. et al., 2008: Inhibition of B cell receptor-mediated activation of primary human B cells by coengagement of CD19 and FcgammaRIIb with Fc-engineered antibodies. Molecular Immunology 45, 3926-3933.
On B cells, FcyRIIB may function to suppress further immunoglobulin production and isotype switching to, for example, the IgE class. On macrophages, FcyRIIB is thought to inhibit phagocytosis as mediated through FcyRIIA. On eosinophils and mast cells, the B form may help to suppress activation of these cells through IgE binding to its separate receptor.
Regarding FcyRI binding, modification in native IgG of at least one of E233-G236, P238, D265, N297, A327 and P329 reduces binding to FcyRI. IgG2 residues at positions 233-236, substituted into corresponding positions IgG1 and IgG4, reduces binding of IgG1 and IgG4 to FcyRI by 103-fold and eliminated the human monocyte response to antibody-sensitized red blood cells (Armour, K. L., et al. Eur. J.
1111117111101.
29(1999) 2613-2624) Regarding FcyRII binding, reduced binding for FcyRIIA is found, e.g., for IgG
mutation of at least one of E233-G236, P238, D265, N297, A327, P329, D270, Q295, A327, R292 and K4I4.
Two allelic forms of human FcyRIIA are the "H131" variant, which binds to IgG1 Fc with high affinity, and the "R131" variant, which binds to IgG1 Fc with low affinity. See, e.g., Bruhns et al., Blood/13:3716-3725 (2009).
Regarding FcyRIII binding, reduced binding to FcyRIIIA is found, e.g., for mutation of at least one of E233-G236, P238, D265, N297, A327, P329, D270, Q295, A327, S239, E269, E293, Y296, V303, A327, K338 and D376. Mapping of the binding sites on human IgG 1 for Fc receptors, the above-mentioned mutation sites, and methods for measuring binding to FcyRI and FeyRIIA, are described in Shields, R. L., et al., J.
Biol. Chem. 276 (2001) 6591-6604.
Two allelic forms of human FcyRIIIA are the "F158" variant, which binds to IgG1 Fc with low affinity, and the "V158" variant, which binds to IgG1 Fc with high affinity. See, e.g., Bruhns et al., Blood/13:3716-3725 (2009).
Regarding binding to FcyRII, two regions of native IgG Fc appear to be involved in interactions between FcyRIIs and IgGs, namely (i) the lower hinge site of IgG Fc, in particular amino acid residues L, L, G, G (234 ¨ 237, EU
numbering), and (ii) the adjacent region of the CH2 domain of IgG Fc, in particular a loop and strands in the upper CH2 domain adjacent to the lower hinge region, e.g. in a region of (Wines, B.D., et al., J. Immunol. 2000; 164: 5313 ¨5318). Moreover, FcyR1 appears to bind to the same site on IgG Fc, whereas FcRn and Protein A bind to a different site on IgG Fc, which appears to be at the CH2-CH3 interface (Wines, B.D., et al., J.
Immunol.
2000; 164: 5313 ¨ 5318).
Also contemplated are mutations that increase binding affinity of an Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof of the present disclosure to a (i.e., one or more) Fcy receptor (e.g., as compared to a reference Fe polypeptide or fragment thereof or containing the same that does not comprise the mutation(s)). See, e.g., Delillo and Raveteh, Cell 161(5):1035-1045 (2015) and Ahmed et al., J. Struc. Biol.
194(1):78 (2016), the Fc mutations and techniques of which are incorporated herein by reference.
In any of the herein disclosed embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment can comprise a Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof comprising a mutation selected from G236A; S239D; A330L; and 1332E; or a combination comprising any two or more of the same; e.g., S239D/I332E; S239D/A330L/I332E;
G236A/S239D/I332E; G236A/A330L/I332E (also referred to herein as "GAALIE"), or G236A/S239D/A330L/I332E. In some embodiments, the Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof does not comprise S239D. In some embodiments, the Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof comprises S at position 239 (EU numbering) In certain embodiments, the Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof may comprise or consist of at least a portion of an Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof that is involved in binding to FcRn binding. In certain embodiments, the Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof comprises one or more amino acid modifications that improve binding affinity for (e.g., enhance binding to) FcRn (e.g., at a pH of about 6.0) and, in some embodiments, thereby extend in vivo half-life of a molecule comprising the Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof (e.g., as compared to a reference Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof or antibody that is otherwise the same but does not comprise the modification(s)). In certain embodiments, the Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof comprises or is derived from a IgG Fc and a half-life-extending mutation comprises any one or more of: M428L; N434S; N434H; N434A; N434S; M252Y; S254T; T256E;
T250Q; P257I Q31 11; D376V; T307A; E380A (EU numbering). In certain embodiments, a half-life-extending mutation comprises M428L/N434S (also referred to herein as "MLNS").

In certain embodiments, a half-life-extending mutation comprises D376V/N434H. In certain embodiments, a half-life-extending mutation comprises T307A/E380A/N434A.
In some embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment includes a Fc moiety that comprises the substitution mtuations M428L/N434S. In some embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment includes a Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof that comprises the substitution mtuations G236A/A330L/I332E.
In certain embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment includes a (e.g., IgG) Fc moiety that comprises a G236A mutation, an A330L mutation, and a 1332E
mutation (GAALIE), and does not comprise a S239D mutation (e.g., comprises a native S
at position 239). In particular embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment includes an Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof that comprises the substitution mutations: M428L/N434S and G236A/A330L/1332E, and optionally does not comprise S239D (e.g., comprises S at 239) In certain embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment includes a Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof that comprises the substitution mutations: M428L/N434S and G236A/S239D/A330L/1332E.
In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises a mutation that alters glycosylation, wherein the mutation that alters glycosylation comprises N297A, N297Q, or N297G, and/or the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is partially or fully aglycosylated and/or is partially or fully afucosylated.
Host cell lines and methods of making partially or fully aglycosylated or partially or fully afucosylated antibodies and antigen-binding fragments are known (see, e.g., PCT
Publication No. WO 2016/181357; Suzuki et al. Clin. Cancer Res. 13(6):1875-82 (2007); Huang et al. MAbs 6:1-12 (2018)).
In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is capable of eliciting continued protection in vivo in a subject even once no detectable levels of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment can be found in the subject (i.e., when the antibody or antigen-binding fragment has been cleared from the subject following administration). Such protection is referred to herein as a vaccinal effect.
Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that dendritic cells can internalize complexes of antibody and antigen and thereafter induce or contribute to an endogenous immune response against antigen. In certain embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises one or more modifications, such as, for example, mutations in the Fc comprising G236A, A330L, and 1332E, that are capable of activating dendritic cells that may induce, e.g., T cell immunity to the antigen.
In any of the presently disclosed embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises a Fc polypeptide or a fragment thereof, including a CH2 (or a fragment thereof, a CH3 (or a fragment thereof), or a CH2 and a CH3, wherein the CH2, the CH3, or both can be of any isotype and may contain amino acid substitutions or other modifications as compared to a corresponding wild-type CH2 or CH3, respectively. In certain embodiments, a Fc polypeptide of the present disclosure comprises two CH2-CH3 polypeptides that associate to form a dimer.
In any of the presently disclosed embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment can be monoclonal The term "monoclonal antibody" (mAb) as used herein refers to an antibody obtained from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies, i.e., individual antibodies comprising the population are identical except for possible naturally occurring mutations that may be present, in some cases in minor amounts. Monoclonal antibodies are highly specific, being directed against a single antigenic site. Furthermore, in contrast to polyclonal antibody preparations that include different antibodies directed against different epitopes, each monoclonal antibody is directed against a single epitope of the antigen. In addition to their specificity, the monoclonal antibodies are advantageous in that they may be synthesized uncontaminated by other antibodies. The term "monoclonal" is not to be construed as requiring production of the antibody by any particular method. For example, monoclonal antibodies useful in the present invention may be prepared by the hybridoma methodology first described by Kohler et al., Nature 256:495 (1975), or may be made using recombinant DNA methods in bacterial, eukaryotic animal, or plant cells (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567). Monoclonal antibodies may also be isolated from phage antibody libraries using the techniques described in Clackson et al., Nature, 352:624-628 (1991) and Marks et Mol Biol., 222:581-597 (1991), for example.
Monoclonal antibodies may also be obtained using methods disclosed in PCT
Publication No. WO 2004/076677A2.
Antibodies and antigen-binding fragments of the present disclosure include "chimeric antibodies" in which a portion of the heavy and/or light chain is identical with or homologous to corresponding sequences in antibodies derived from a particular species or belonging to a particular antibody class or subclass, while the remainder of the chain(s) is identical with or homologous to corresponding sequences in antibodies derived from another species or belonging to another antibody class or subclass, as well as fragments of such antibodies, so long as they exhibit the desired biological activity (see, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,816,567; 5,530,101 and 7,498,415; and Morrison et al., Proc.
Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 81:6851-6855 (1984)). For example, chimeric antibodies may comprise human and non-human residues. Furthermore, chimeric antibodies may comprise residues that are not found in the recipient antibody or in the donor antibody.
These modifications are made to further refine antibody performance. For further details, see Jones et al., Nature 321:522-525 (1986); Riechmann etal., Nature 332:323-329 (1988); and Presta, C 117T . Op. StrucL Biol. 2:593-596 (1992). Chimeric antibodies also include primatized and humanized antibodies.
A "humanized antibody" is generally considered to be a human antibody that has one or more amino acid residues introduced into it from a source that is non-human.
These non-human amino acid residues are typically taken from a variable domain.
Humanization may be performed following the method of Winter and co-workers (Jones et at., Nature, 321:522-525 (1986); Reichmann et at., Nature, 332:323-(1988); Verhoeyen et al., Science, 239:1534-1536 (1988)), by substituting non-human variable sequences for the corresponding sequences of a human antibody.
Accordingly, such "humanized" antibodies are chimeric antibodies (U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,816,567;
5,530,101 and 7,498,415) wherein substantially less than an intact human variable domain has been substituted by the corresponding sequence from a non-human species.
In some instances, a -humanized" antibody is one which is produced by a non-human cell or animal and comprises human sequences, e.g., Hc domains.
A "human antibody" is an antibody containing only sequences that are present in an antibody that is produced by a human (i.e., sequences that are encoded by human antibody-encoding genes). However, as used herein, human antibodies may comprise residues or modifications not found in a naturally occurring human antibody (e.g., an antibody that is isolated from a human), including those modifications and variant sequences described herein. These are typically made to further refine or enhance antibody performance. In some instances, human antibodies are produced by transgenic animals. For example, see U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,770,429; 6,596,541 and 7,049,426.
In certain embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present disclosure is chimeric, humanized, or human.
Polynucleotides, Vectors, and Host cells In another aspect, the present disclosure provides isolated polynucleotides that encode any of the presently disclosed antibodies or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, or a portion thereof (e.g., a CDR, a VH, a VL, a heavy chain, or a light chain).
In certain embodiments, the polynucleotide is codon-optimized for expression in a host cell. Once a coding sequence is known or identified, codon optimization can be performed using known techniques and tools, e.g., using the GenScript OptimiumGeneTM tool; see also Scholten et at., Cl/n. 1111171111101 119:135, 2006).
Codon-optimized sequences include sequences that are partially codon-optimized (i.e., one or more codon is optimized for expression in the host cell) and those that are fully codon-optimized.
It will also be appreciated that polynucleotides encoding antibodies and antigen-binding fragments of the present disclosure may possess different nucleotide sequences while still encoding a same antibody or antigen-binding fragment due to, for example, the degeneracy of the genetic code, splicing, and the like.
In certain embodiments, the polynucleotide comprises a polynucleotide having at least 50% (i.e., 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100%) identity to the polynucleotide sequence according to any one or more of SEQ ID NOs.:30, 31, 40, 41, 50, 51, 60, 61, 70, 71, 80, 81, 90, 91, 100, 101, 110, 111, 120, 121, 130, 131, 140, 141, 150, 151, 160, 161, 170, 171, 180, 181, 190, 191, 200, 201, 210, 211, 220, 221, 230, 231, 240, 241, 250, 251, 260, 261, 270, 271, 280, 281, 290, 291, 300, 301, 310, 311, 320, 321, 330, 331, 340, 341, 350, 351, 360, 361, 370, 371, 380, 381, 390, 391, 400, 401, 410, 411, 420, 421, 430, 431, 440, and 441, or any combination thereof (e.g., a polynucleotide comprises a polynucleotide having at least 50% identity to to SEQ ID NO. :30 and a polynucleotide having at least 50% identity to SEQ ID NO. :31).
It will be appreciated that in certain embodiments, a polynucleotide encoding an antibody or antigen-binding fragment is comprised in a polynucleotide that includes other sequences and/or features for, e.g-., expression of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment in a host cell. Exemplary features include a promoter sequence, a polyadenylation sequence, a sequence that encodes a signal peptide (e.g., located at the N-terminus of a expressed antibody heavy chain or light chain), or the like.
In any of the presently disclosed embodiments, the polynucleotide can comprise deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA). In some embodiments, the RNA comprises messenger RNA (mRNA).
Vectors are also provided, wherein the vectors comprise or contain a polynucleotide as disclosed herein (e.g., a polynucleotide that encodes an antibody or antigen-binding fragment that binds to SARS-CoV-2). A vector can comprise any one or more of the vectors disclosed herein. In particular embodiments, a vector is provided that comprises a DNA plasmid construct encoding the antibody or antigen-binding fragment, or a portion thereof (e.g., so-called "DMAb"; see, e.g., Muthumani et al., J
infect Dis. 214(3):369-378 (2016); Muthumani et al., Hum Vaccin Immunother 9:2253-2262 (2013)); Flingai et al., Sci Rep. 5:12616 (2015); and Elliott et al., NPJ
Vaccines 18 (2017), which antibody-coding DNA constructs and related methods of use, including administration of the same, are incorporated herein by reference).
In certain embodiments, a DNA plasmid construct comprises a single open reading frame encoding a heavy chain and a light chain (or a VH and a VL) of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment, wherein the sequence encoding the heavy chain and the sequence encoding the light chain are optionally separated by polynucleotide encoding a protease cleavage site and/or by a polynucleotide encoding a self-cleaving peptide. In some embodiments, the substituent components of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment are encoded by a polynucleotide comprised in a single plasmid. In other embodiments, the substituent components of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment are encoded by a polynucleotide comprised in two or more plasmids (e.g., a first plasmid comprises a polynucleotide encoding a heavy chain, VH, or VH+CH, and a second plasmid comprises a polynucleotide encoding the cognate light chain, VL, or VL+CL). In certain embodiments, a single plasmid comprises a polynucleotide encoding a heavy chain and/or a light chain from two or more antibodies or antigen-binding fragments of the present disclosure. An exemplary expression vector is pVaxl, available from Invitrogen . A DNA plasmid of the present disclosure can be delivered to a subject by, for example, electroporation (e.g., intramuscular electroporation), or with an appropriate formulation (e.g., hyaluronidase).
In a further aspect, the present disclosure also provides a host cell expressing an antibody or antigen-binding fragment according to the present disclosure; or comprising or containing a vector or polynucleotide according the present disclosure.
Examples of such cells include but are not limited to, eukaryotic cells, e.g., yeast cells, animal cells, insect cells, plant cells; and prokaryotic cells, including E. coli In some embodiments, the cells are mammalian cells. In certain such embodiments, the cells are a mammalian cell line such as CHO cells (e.g., DHFR- CHO cells (Urlaub et al., PNAS 77:4216 (1980)), human embryonic kidney cells (e.g., HEK293T cells), PER.C6 cells, YO cells, Sp2/0 cells. NSO cells, human liver cells, e.g. Hepa RG cells, myeloma cells or hybridoma cells. Other examples of mammalian host cell lines include mouse sertoli cells (e.g., TNI4 cells); monkey kidney CV1 line transformed by SV40 (COS-7); baby hamster kidney cells (BHK); African green monkey kidney cells (VERO-76); monkey kidney cells (CV1); human cervical carcinoma cells (BELA);
human lung cells (W138); human liver cells (Hep G2); canine kidney cells (MDCK;
buffalo rat liver cells (BRL 3A); mouse mammary tumor (MMT 060562); TRI
cells; MRC 5 cells; and FS4 cells. Mammalian host cell lines suitable for antibody production also include those described in, for example, Yazaki and Wu, Methods in Molecular Biology, Vol. 248 (B. K. C. Lo, ed., Humana Press, Totowa, N.J.), pp. 255-268 (2003).
In certain embodiments, a host cell is a prokaryotic cell, such as an E. coll.
The expression of peptides in prokaryotic cells such as E. coil is well established (see, e.g., Pluckthun, A. Bio/Technology 9:545-551 (1991). For example, antibodies may be produced in bacteria, in particular when glycosylation and Fc effector function are not needed. For expression of antibody fragments and polypeptides in bacteria, see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,648,237, 5,789,199, and 5,840,523.
In particular embodiments, the cell may be transfected with a vector according to the present description with an expression vector. The term "transfection"
refers to the introduction of nucleic acid molecules, such as DNA or RNA (e.g. mRNA) molecules, into cells, such as into eukaryotic cells. In the context of the present description, the term "transfection" encompasses any method known to the skilled person for introducing nucleic acid molecules into cells, such as into eukaryotic cells, including into mammalian cells. Such methods encompass, for example, electroporation, lipofection, e.g., based on cationic lipids and/or liposomes, calcium phosphate precipitation, nanoparticle based transfection, virus based transfection, or transfection based on cationic polymers, such as DEAE-dextran or polyethylenimine, etc In certain embodiments, the introduction is non-viral Moreover, host cells of the present disclosure may be transfected stably or transiently with a vector according to the present disclosure, e.g. for expressing an antibody, or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, according to the present disclosure.
In such embodiments, the cells may be stably transfected with the vector as described herein. Alternatively, cells may be transiently transfected with a vector according to the present disclosure encoding an antibody or antigen-binding fragment as disclosed herein. In any of the presently disclosed embodiments, a polynucleotide may be heterologous to the host cell.
Accordingly, the present disclosure also provides recombinant host cells that heterologously express an antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present disclosure. For example, the cell may be of a species that is different to the species from which the antibody was fully or partially obtained (e.g., CHO cells expressing a human antibody or an engineered human antibody). In some embodiments, the cell type of the host cell does not express the antibody or antigen-binding fragment in nature Moreover, the host cell may impart a post-translational modification (PTM, e.g., glysocylation or fucosylation) on the antibody or antigen-binding fragment that is not present in a native state of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment (or in a native state of a parent antibody from which the antibody or antigen binding fragment was engineered or derived) Such a PTM may result in a functional difference (e.g., reduced immunogenicity). Accordingly, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present disclosure that is produced by a host cell as disclosed herein may include one or more post-translational modification that is distinct from the antibody (or parent antibody) in its native state (e.g., a human antibody produced by a CHO cell can comprise a more post-translational modification that is distinct from the antibody when isolated from the human and/or produced by the native human B cell or plasma cell).
Insect cells useful expressing a binding protein of the present disclosure are known in the art and include, for example, ,S'podoptera frugipera Sf9 cells, Trichoplusia ni BTI-TN5B1-4 cells, and Spodoptera fruppera SfSWTO1 "Mimi CTM" cells. See, e.g., Palmberger et at., J. Biotechnot /53(3-4):160-166 (2011). Numerous baculoviral strains have been identified which may be used in conjunction with insect cells, particularly for transfecti on of S'podopterafrugiperda cells Eukaryotic microbes such as filamentous fungi or yeast are also suitable hosts for cloning or expressing protein-encoding vectors, and include fungi and yeast strains with "humanized" glycosylation pathways, resulting in the production of an antibody with a partially or fully human glycosylation pattern. See Gerngross, Nat.
Biotech. 22:1409-1414 (2004); Li et al., Nat. Biotech. 24:210-215 (2006).
Plant cells can also be utilized as hosts for expressing a binding protein of the present disclosure. For example, PLANTIBODIESTm technology (described in, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,959,177; 6,040,498; 6,420,548; 7,125,978; and 6,417,429) employs transgenic plants to produce antibodies.

In general, an appropriate dose and treatment regimen provide the composition(s) in an amount sufficient to provide therapeutic and/or prophylactic benefit (such as described herein, including an improved clinical outcome (e.g., a decrease in frequency, duration, or severity of diarrhea or associated dehydration, or inflammation, or longer disease-free and/or overall survival, or a lessening of symptom severity). For prophylactic use, a dose should be sufficient to prevent, delay the onset of, or diminish the severity of a disease associated with disease or disorder.
Prophylactic benefit of the compositions administered according to the methods described herein can be determined by performing pre-clinical (including in vitro and in vivo animal studies) and clinical studies and analyzing data obtained therefrom by appropriate statistical, biological, and clinical methods and techniques, all of which can readily be practiced by a person skilled in the art.
Compositions are administered in an effective amount (e.g., to treat a Wuhan coronavirus infection), which will vary depending upon a variety of factors including the activity of the specific compound employed; the metabolic stability and length of action of the compound; the age, body weight, general health, sex, and diet of the subject; the mode and time of administration; the rate of excretion; the drug combination; the severity of the particular disorder or condition; and the subject undergoing therapy. In certain embodiments, tollowing administration of therapies according to the formulations and methods of this disclosure, test subjects will exhibit about a 10% up to about a 99% reduction in one or more symptoms associated with the disease or disorder being treated as compared to placebo-treated or other suitable control subjects.
Generally, a therapeutically effective daily dose of an antibody or antigen binding fragment is (for a 70 kg mammal) from about 0.001 mg/kg (i.e., 0.07 mg) to about 100 mg/kg (i.e., 7.0 g); preferably a therapeutically effective dose is (for a 70 kg mammal) from about 0.01 mg/kg (i.e., 0.7 mg) to about 50 mg/kg (i.e., 3.5 g);
more preferably a therapeutically effective dose is (for a 70 kg mammal) from about 1 mg/kg (i.e., 70 mg) to about 25 mg/kg (i.e., 1.75 g). For polynucleotides, vectors, host cells, and related compositions of the present disclosure, a therapeutically effective dose may be different than for an antibody or antigen-binding fragment.

Like other coronavinises (e.g., SARS- CoV-1), SARS-CoV-2 comprises a "spike" or surface ("S") type I transmembrane glycoprotein containing a receptor binding domain (RBD). RBD is believed to mediate entry of the lineage B SARS coronavirus to respiratory epithelial cells by binding to the cell surface receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). In particular, a receptor binding motif (RBM) in the virus RBD is believed to interact with ACE2. SARS CoV-2 S
protein also includes, N-terminal to the RBD and C-terminal to the S protein signal peptide, domain A (also referred-to as the N-terminal Domain or "NTD").
Antibodies of the present disclosure are specific for domain A.
The amino acid sequence of the Wuhan-Hu-1 surface glycoprotein is provided in SEQ ID NO.:3. The amino acid sequence of SARS-CoV-2 RBD is provided in SEQ
ID NO.:4. SARS-CoV-2 S protein has approximately 73% amino acid sequence identity with SARS-CoV-1. The amino acid sequence of SARS-CoV-2 RBM is provided in SEQ ID NO.:5. SARS-CoV-2 RBD has approximately 75% to 77% amino acid sequence similarity to SARS¨CoV-1 RBD, and SARS-CoV-2 RBM has approximately 50% amino acid sequence similarity to SARS-CoV-1 RBM.
Unless otherwise indicated herein, SARS-CoV-2 Wuhan-Hu-1 refers to a virus comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in any one or more of SEQ ID
NOs.:2, or 3, optionally with the genomic sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO.:1.
There have been a number of emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants.

In the present description, any concentration range, percentage range, ratio range, or integer range is to be understood to include the value of any integer within the recited range and, when appropriate, fractions thereof (such as one tenth and one hundredth of an integer), unless otherwise indicated. Also, any number range recited herein relating to any physical feature, such as polymer subunits, size or thickness, are to be understood to include any integer within the recited range, unless otherwise indicated. As used herein, the term "about" means 20% of the indicated range, value, or structure, unless otherwise indicated. In particular embodiments, "about"
comprises 5%, 10%, or 15%.
It should be understood that the terms "a" and "an" as used herein refer to "one or more" of the enumerated components. The use of the alternative (e.g., "or") should be understood to mean either one, both, or any combination thereof of the alternatives.
As used herein, the terms "include," "have," and "comprise" are used synonymously, which terms and variants thereof are intended to be construed as non-limiting.
"Optional" or "optionally" means that the subsequently described element, component, event, or circumstance may or may not occur, and that the description includes instances in which the element, component, event, or circumstance occurs and instances in which they do not.
In addition, it should be understood that the individual constructs, or groups of constructs, derived from the various combinations of the structures and subunits described herein, are disclosed by the present application to the same extent as if each construct or group of constructs was set forth individually. Thus, selection of particular structures or particular subunits is within the scope of the present disclosure.
The term "consisting essentially of' is not equivalent to "comprising" and refers to the specified materials or steps of a claim, or to those that do not materially affect the basic characteristics of a claimed subject matter. For example, a protein domain, region, or module (e.g., a binding domain) or a protein "consists essentially of' a particular amino acid sequence when the amino acid sequence of a domain, region, module, or protein includes extensions, deletions, mutations, or a combination thereof (e.g., amino acids at the amino- or carboxy-terminus or between domains) that, in combination, contribute to at most 20% (e.g., at most 15%, 10%, 8%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2% or 1%) of the length of a domain, region, module, or protein and do not substantially affect (i.e., do not reduce the activity by more than 50%, such as no more than 40%, 30%, 25%, 20%, 15%, 10%, 5%, or 1%) the activity of the domain(s), region(s), module(s), or protein (e.g., the target binding affinity of a binding protein).
As used herein, "amino acid" refers to naturally occurring and synthetic amino acids, as well as amino acid analogs and amino acid mimetics that function in a manner similar to the naturally occurring amino acids. Naturally occurring amino acids are those encoded by the genetic code, as well as those amino acids that are later modified, e.g., hydroxyproline, y-carboxyglutamate, and 0-phosphoserine. Amino acid analogs refer to compounds that have the same basic chemical structure as a naturally occurring amino acid, i.e., an a-carbon that is bound to a hydrogen, a carboxyl group, an amino group, and an R group, e.g., homoserine, norleucine, methionine sulfoxide, methionine methyl sulfonium. Such analogs have modified R groups (e.g., norleucine) or modified peptide backbones, but retain the same basic chemical structure as a naturally occurring amino acid. Amino acid mimetics refer to chemical compounds that have a structure that is different from the general chemical structure of an amino acid, but that functions in a manner similar to a naturally occurring amino acid.
As used herein, "mutation" refers to a change in the sequence of a nucleic acid molecule or polypeptide molecule as compared to a reference or wild-type nucleic acid molecule or polypepti de molecule, respectively A mutation can result in several different types of change in sequence, including substitution, insertion or deletion of nucleotide(s) or amino acid(s).
A "conservative substitution" refers to amino acid substitutions that do not significantly affect or alter binding characteristics of a particular protein.
Generally, conservative substitutions are ones in which a substituted amino acid residue is replaced with an amino acid residue having a similar side chain. Conservative substitutions include a substitution found in one of the following groups: Group 1: Alanine (Ala or A), Glycine (Gly or G), Serine (Ser or S), Threonine (Thr or T); Group 2:
Aspartic acid (Asp or D), Glutamic acid (Glu or Z); Group 3: Asparagine (Asn or N), Glutamine (Gln or Q); Group 4: Arginine (Arg or R), Lysine (Lys or K), Histidine (His or H);
Group 5:
Isoleucine (Ile or I), Leucine (Leu or L), Methionine (Met or M), Valine (Val or V); and Group 6: Phenylalanine (Phe or F), Tyrosine (Tyr or Y), Tryptophan (Trp or W).
Additionally or alternatively, amino acids can be grouped into conservative substitution groups by similar function, chemical structure, or composition (e.g., acidic, basic, aliphatic, aromatic, or sulfur-containing). For example, an aliphatic grouping may include, for purposes of substitution, Gly, Ala, Val, Leu, and Ile. Other conservative substitutions groups include: sulfur-containing: Met and Cysteine (Cys or C);
acidic:
Asp, Glu, Asn, and Gln; small aliphatic, nonpolar or slightly polar residues:
Ala, Ser, Thr, Pro, and Gly, polar, negatively charged residues and their amides: Asp, Asn, Glu, and Gln; polar, positively charged residues: His, Arg, and Lys; large aliphatic, nonpolar residues: Met, Leu, Ile, Val, and Cys; and large aromatic residues: Phe, Tyr, and Trp.
Additional information can be found in Creighton (1984) Proteins, W.H Freeman and Company.
As used herein, "protein" or "polypeptide" refers to a polymer of amino acid residues. Proteins apply to naturally occurring amino acid polymers, as well as to amino acid polymers in which one or more amino acid residue is an artificial chemical mimetic of a corresponding naturally occurring amino acid, and non-naturally occurring amino acid polymers. Variants of proteins, peptides, and polypeptides of this disclosure are also contemplated. In certain embodiments, variant proteins, peptides, and polypeptides comprise or consist of an amino acid sequence that is at least 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 99.9%
identical to an amino acid sequence of a defined or reference amino acid sequence as described herein.
"Nucleic acid molecule" or "polynucleotide" or "polynucleic acid" refers to a polymeric compound including covalently linked nucleotides, which can be made up of natural subunits (e.g., purine or pyrimidine bases) or non-natural subunits (e.g., morpholine ring). Purine bases include adenine, guanine, hypoxanthine, and xanthine, and pyrimidine bases include uracil, thymine, and cytosine. Nucleic acid molecules include polyribonucleic acid (RNA), which includes mRNA, microRNA, siRNA, viral genomic RNA, and synthetic RNA, and polydeoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which includes cDNA, genomic DNA, and synthetic DNA, either of which may be single or double stranded. If single-stranded, the nucleic acid molecule may be the coding strand or non-coding (anti-sense) strand. A nucleic acid molecule encoding an amino acid sequence includes all nucleotide sequences that encode the same amino acid sequence.
Some versions of the nucleotide sequences may also include intron(s) to the extent that the intron(s) would be removed through co- or post-transcriptional mechanisms.
In other words, different nucleotide sequences may encode the same amino acid sequence as the result of the redundancy or degeneracy of the genetic code, or by splicing.
Variants of nucleic acid molecules of this disclosure are also contemplated.
Variant nucleic acid molecules are at least 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, and are preferably 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 99.9% identical a nucleic acid molecule of a defined or reference polynucleotide as described herein, or that hybridize to a polynucleotide under stringent hybridization conditions of 0.015M sodium chloride, 0.0015M sodium citrate at about 65-68 C or 0.015M sodium chloride, 0.0015M
sodium citrate, and 50% formamide at about 42 C. Nucleic acid molecule variants retain the capacity to encode a binding domain thereof having a functionality described herein, such as binding a target molecule.
"Percent sequence identity" refers to a relationship between two or more sequences, as determined by comparing the sequences. Preferred methods to determine sequence identity are designed to give the best match between the sequences being compared For example, the sequences are aligned for optimal comparison purposes (e.g., gaps can be introduced in one or both of a first and a second amino acid or nucleic acid sequence for optimal alignment). Further, non-homologous sequences may be disregarded for comparison purposes. The percent sequence identity referenced herein is calculated over the length of the reference sequence, unless indicated otherwise.
Methods to determine sequence identity and similarity can be found in publicly available computer programs. Sequence alignments and percent identity calculations may be performed using a BLAST program (e.g., BLAST 2.0, BLASTP, BLASTN, or BLASTX). The mathematical algorithm used in the BLAST programs can be found in Altschul et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389-3402, 1997. Within the context of this disclosure, it will be understood that where sequence analysis software is used for analysis, the results of the analysis are based on the "default values" of the program referenced. "Default values" mean any set of values or parameters which originally load with the software when first initialized.
The term "isolated" means that the material is removed from its original environment (e.g., the natural environment if it is naturally occurring). For example, a naturally occurring nucleic acid or polypeptide present in a living animal is not isolated, but the same nucleic acid or polypeptide, separated from some or all of the co-existing materials in the natural system, is isolated. Such nucleic acid could be part of a vector and/or such nucleic acid or polypeptide could be part of a composition (e.g., a cell lysate), and still be isolated in that such vector or composition is not part of the natural environment for the nucleic acid or polypeptide. "Isolated" can, in some embodiments, also describe an antibody, antigen-binding fragment, polynucleotide, vector, host cell, or composition that is outside of a human body.
The term "gene" means the segment of DNA or RNA involved in producing a polypeptide chain; in certain contexts, it includes regions preceding and following the coding region (e.g., 5' untranslated region (UTR) and 3' UTR) as well as intervening sequences (introns) between individual coding segments (exons).
A "functional variant" refers to a polypeptide or polynucleotide that is structurally similar or substantially structurally similar to a parent or reference compound of this disclosure, but differs slightly in composition (e.g., one base, atom or functional group is different, added, or removed), such that the polypeptide or encoded polypeptide is capable of performing at least one function of the parent polypeptide with at least 50% efficiency, preferably at least 55%, 60%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.9%, or 100% level of activity of the parent polypeptide.
In other words, a functional variant of a polypeptide or encoded polypeptide of this disclosure has "similar binding," "similar affinity" or "similar activity"
when the functional variant displays no more than a 50% reduction in performance in a selected assay as compared to the parent or reference polypeptide, such as an assay for measuring binding affinity (e.g., Biacore or tetramer staining measuring an association (Ka) or a dissociation (Ku) constant).
As used herein, a "functional portion" or "functional fragment" refers to a polypeptide or polynucleotide that comprises only a domain, portion or fragment of a parent or reference compound, and the polypeptide or encoded polypeptide retains at least 50% activity associated with the domain, portion or fragment of the parent or reference compound, preferably at least 55%, 60%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.9%, or 100% level of activity of the parent polypeptide, or provides a biological benefit (e.g., effector function). A "functional portion" or "functional fragment" of a polypeptide or encoded polypeptide of this disclosure has "similar binding" or "similar activity" when the functional portion or fragment displays no more than a 50% reduction in performance in a selected assay as compared to the parent or reference polypeptide (preferably no more than 20% or 10%, or no more than a log difference as compared to the parent or reference with regard to affinity).
As used herein, the term "engineered," "recombinant," or "non-natural" refers to an organism, microorganism, cell, nucleic acid molecule, or vector that includes at least one genetic alteration or has been modified by introduction of an exogenous or heterologous nucleic acid molecule, wherein such alterations or modifications are introduced by genetic engineering (i.e., human intervention). Genetic alterations include, for example, modifications introducing expressible nucleic acid molecules encoding functional RNA, proteins, fusion proteins or enzymes, or other nucleic acid molecule additions, deletions, substitutions, or other functional disruption of a cell's genetic material. Additional modifications include, for example, non-coding regulatory regions in which the modifications alter expression of a polynucleotide, gene, or operon.
As used herein, "heterologous" or "non-endogenous" or "exogenous" refers to any gene, protein, compound, nucleic acid molecule, or activity that is not native to a host cell or a subject, or any gene, protein, compound, nucleic acid molecule, or activity native to a host cell or a subject that has been altered. Heterologous, non-endogenous, or exogenous includes genes, proteins, compounds, or nucleic acid molecules that have been mutated or otherwise altered such that the structure, activity, or both is different as between the native and altered genes, proteins, compounds, or nucleic acid molecules.
In certain embodiments, heterologous, non-endogenous, or exogenous genes, proteins, or nucleic acid molecules (e.g., receptors, ligands, etc.) may not be endogenous to a host cell or a subject, but instead nucleic acids encoding such genes, proteins, or nucleic acid molecules may have been added to a host cell by conjugation, transformation, transfection, electroporation, or the like, wherein the added nucleic acid molecule may integrate into a host cell genome or can exist as extra-chromosomal genetic material (e.g., as a plasmid or other self-replicating vector) The term "homologous" or "homolog" refers to a gene, protein, compound, nucleic acid molecule, or activity found in or derived from a host cell, species, or strain. For example, a heterologous or exogenous polynucleotide or gene encoding a polypeptide may be homologous to a native polynucleotide or gene and encode a homologous polypeptide or activity, but the polynucleotide or polypeptide may have an altered structure, sequence, expression level, or any combination thereof. A non-endogenous polynucleotide or gene, as well as the encoded polypeptide or activity, may be from the same species, a different species, or a combination thereof.
In certain embodiments, a nucleic acid molecule or portion thereof native to a host cell will be considered heterologous to the host cell if it has been altered or mutated, or a nucleic acid molecule native to a host cell may be considered heterologous if it has been altered with a heterologous expression control sequence or has been altered with an endogenous expression control sequence not normally associated with the nucleic acid molecule native to a host cell. In addition, the term "heterologous" can refer to a biological activity that is different, altered, or not endogenous to a host cell As described herein, more than one heterologous nucleic acid molecule can be introduced into a host cell as separate nucleic acid molecules, as a plurality of individually controlled genes, as a polycistronic nucleic acid molecule, as a single nucleic acid molecule encoding a fusion protein, or any combination thereof.
When As used herein, the term "endogenous" or "native" refers to a polynucleotide, gene, protein, compound, molecule, or activity that is normally present in a host cell or a subject.
The term "expression", as used herein, refers to the process by which a polypeptide is produced based on the encoding sequence of a nucleic acid molecule, such as a gene. The process may include transcription, post-transcriptional control, post-transcriptional modification, translation, post-translational control, post-translational modification, or any combination thereof An expressed nucleic acid molecule is typically operably linked to an expression control sequence (e.g., a promoter).
The term "operably linked" refers to the association of two or more nucleic acid molecules on a single nucleic acid fragment so that the function of one is affected by the other. For example, a promoter is operably linked with a coding sequence when it is capable of affecting the expression of that coding sequence (i.e., the coding sequence is under the transcriptional control of the promoter). "Unlinked" means that the associated genetic elements are not closely associated with one another and the function of one does not affect the other.
As described herein, more than one heterologous nucleic acid molecule can be introduced into a host cell as separate nucleic acid molecules, as a plurality of individually controlled genes, as a polycistronic nucleic acid molecule, as a single nucleic acid molecule encoding a protein (e.g., a heavy chain of an antibody), or any combination thereof. When two or more heterologous nucleic acid molecules are introduced into a host cell, it is understood that the two or more heterologous nucleic acid molecules can be introduced as a single nucleic acid molecule (e.g., on a single vector), on separate vectors, integrated into the host chromosome at a single site or multiple sites, or any combination thereof The number of referenced heterologous nucleic acid molecules or protein activities refers to the number of encoding nucleic acid molecules or the number of protein activities, not the number of separate nucleic acid molecules introduced into a host cell.
The term "construct" refers to any polynucleotide that contains a recombinant nucleic acid molecule (or, when the context clearly indicates, a fusion protein of the present disclosure). A (polynucleotide) construct may be present in a vector (e.g., a bacterial vector, a viral vector) or may be integrated into a genome. A
"vector" is a nucleic acid molecule that is capable of transporting another nucleic acid molecule.
Vectors may be, for example, plasmids, cosmids, viruses, a RNA vector or a linear or circular DNA or RNA molecule that may include chromosomal, non-chromosomal, semi-synthetic or synthetic nucleic acid molecules. Vectors of the present disclosure also include transposon systems (e.g., Sleeping Beauty, see, e.g., Geurts et al., Mol.
Ther. 8:108, 2003: Mates et al, Nat. Genet. 41:753, 2009). Exemplary vectors are those capable of autonomous replication (episomal vector), capable of delivering a polynucleotide to a cell genome (e.g., viral vector), or capable of expressing nucleic acid molecules to which they are linked (expression vectors).
As used herein, "expression vector" or "vector" refers to a DNA construct containing a nucleic acid molecule that is operably linked to a suitable control sequence capable of effecting the expression of the nucleic acid molecule in a suitable host. Such control sequences include a promoter to effect transcription, an optional operator sequence to control such transcription, a sequence encoding suitable mRNA
ribosome binding sites, and sequences which control termination of transcription and translation.
The vector may be a plasmid, a phage particle, a virus, or simply a potential genomic insert. Once transformed into a suitable host, the vector may replicate and function independently of the host genome, or may, in some instances, integrate into the genome itself or deliver the polynucleotide contained in the vector into the genome without the vector sequence. In the present specification, "plasmid," "expression plasmid," "virus,"
and "vector" are often used interchangeably.
The term "introduced" in the context of inserting a nucleic acid molecule into a cell, means "transfection", "transformation," or "transduction" and includes reference to the incorporation of a nucleic acid molecule into a eukaryotic or prokaryotic cell wherein the nucleic acid molecule may be incorporated into the genome of a cell (e.g., chromosome, plasmid, plastid, or mitochondrial DNA), converted into an autonomous replicon, or transiently expressed (e.g., transfected mRNA).
In certain embodiments, polynucleotides of the present disclosure may be operatively linked to certain elements of a vector. For example, polynucleotide sequences that are needed to effect the expression and processing of coding sequences to which they are ligated may be operatively linked. Expression control sequences may include appropriate transcription initiation, termination, promoter, and enhancer sequences; efficient RNA processing signals such as splicing and polyadenylation signals; sequences that stabilize cytoplasmic mRNA; sequences that enhance translation efficiency (i.e., Kozak consensus sequences); sequences that enhance protein stability;
and possibly sequences that enhance protein secretion. Expression control sequences may be operatively linked if they are contiguous with the gene of interest and expression control sequences that act in trans or at a distance to control the gene of interest.
In certain embodiments, the vector comprises a plasmid vector or a viral vector (e.g., a lentiviral vector or a y-retroviral vector). Viral vectors include retrovirus, 1.5 adenovirus, parvovirus (e.g., adeno-associated viruses), coronavirus, negative strand RNA viruses such as ortho-myxovirus (e.g., influenza virus), rhabdovirus (e.g., rabies and vesicular stomatitis virus), paramyxovirus (e.g., measles and Sendai), positive strand RNA viruses such as picornavirus and alphavirus, and double-stranded DNA
viruses including adenovirus, herpesvirus (e.g., Herpes Simplex virus types 1 and 2, Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus), and poxvirus (e.g., vaccini a, fowlpox, and canarypox). Other viruses include, for example, Norwalk virus, togavirus, flavivirus, reoviruses, papovavirus, hepadnavirus, and hepatitis virus. Examples of retroviruses include avian leukosis-sarcoma, mammalian C-type, B-type viruses, D type viruses, HTLV-BLV group, lentivirus, spumavirus (Coffin, J. M., Retroviridae: The viruses and their replication, In Fundamental Virology, Third Edition, B. N. Fields et al., Eds., Lippincott-Raven Publishers, Philadelphia, 1996).
"Retroviruses" are viruses having an RNA genome, which is reverse-transcribed into DNA using a reverse transcriptase enzyme, the reverse-transcribed DNA is then incorporated into the host cell genome. "Gammaretrovirus" refers to a genus of the retroviridae family. Examples of gammaretroviruses include mouse stem cell virus, murine leukemia virus, feline leukemia virus, feline sarcoma virus, and avian reticuloendotheliosis viruses.
"Lentiviral vectors" include HIV-based lentiviral vectors for gene delivery, which can be integrative or non-integrative, have relatively large packaging capacity, and can transduce a range of different cell types. Lentiviral vectors are usually generated following transient transfection of three (packaging, envelope, and transfer) or more plasmids into producer cells. Like HIV, lentiviral vectors enter the target cell through the interaction of viral surface glycoproteins with receptors on the cell surface.
On entry, the viral RNA undergoes reverse transcription, which is mediated by the viral reverse transcriptase complex. The product of reverse transcription is a double-stranded linear viral DNA, which is the substrate for viral integration into the DNA of infected cells.
In certain embodiments, the viral vector can be a gammaretrovirus, e.g., Moloney murine leukemia virus (MLV)-derived vectors. In other embodiments, the viral vector can be a more complex retrovirus-derived vector, e.g., a lentivirus-derived vector. HIV-1-derived vectors belong to this category. Other examples include lentivirus vectors derived from HIV-2, Fly, equine infectious anemia virus, Sly, and Maedi-Visna virus (ovine lentivirus). Methods of using retroviral and lentiviral viral vectors and packaging cells for transducing mammalian host cells with viral particles containing transgenes are known in the art and have been previous described, for example, in: U.S. Patent 8,119,772; Walchli et at., PLoS One 6:327930, 2011;
Zhao et at., J. Immunol. /74:4415, 2005; Engels et at., Hum. Gene Ther. 14:1155, 2003;
Frecha et at., Mot. Ther. 18:1748, 2010; and Verhoeyen et at., Methods Mot. Biol.
506:97, 2009. Retroviral and lentiviral vector constructs and expression systems are also commercially available. Other viral vectors also can be used for polynucleotide delivery including DNA viral vectors, including, for example adenovirus-based vectors and adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based vectors; vectors derived from herpes simplex viruses (HSVs), including amplicon vectors, replication-defective HSV and attenuated HSV (Krisky et at., Gene Ther. 5:1517 , 1998).
Other vectors that can be used with the compositions and methods of this disclosure include those derived from baculoviruses and a-viruses. (Jolly, D

Emerging Viral Vectors. pp 209-40 in Friedmann T. ed. The Development of Human Gene Therapy. New York: Cold Spring Harbor Lab), or plasmid vectors (such as sleeping beauty or other transposon vectors).
When a viral vector genome comprises a plurality of polynueleotides to be expressed in a host cell as separate transcripts, the viral vector may also comprise additional sequences between the two (or more) transcripts allowing for bicistronic or multicistronic expression. Examples of such sequences used in viral vectors include internal ribosome entry sites (IRES), furin cleavage sites, viral 2A peptide, or any combination thereof.
Plasmid vectors, including DNA-based antibody or antigen-binding fragment-encoding plasmid vectors for direct administration to a subject, are described further herein.
As used herein, the term "host" refers to a cell or microorganism targeted for genetic modification with a heterologous nucleic acid molecule to produce a polypeptide of interest (e.g., an antibody of the present disclosure).
A host cell may include any individual cell or cell culture which may receive a vector or the incorporation of nucleic acids or express proteins. The term also encompasses progeny of the host cell, whether genetically or phenotypically the same or different. Suitable host cells may depend on the vector and may include mammalian cells, animal cells, human cells, simian cells, insect cells, yeast cells, and bacterial cells.
These cells may be induced to incorporate the vector or other material by use of a viral vector, transformation via calcium phosphate precipitation, DEAE-dextran, el ectroporati on, mi croinj ecti on, or other methods. See, for example, Sambrook etal., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual 2d ed. (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 1989).
In the context of a SARS-CoV-2 infection, a "host" refers to a cell or a subject infected with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.
"Antigen" or "Ag", as used herein, refers to an immunogenic molecule that provokes an immune response. This immune response may involve antibody production, activation of specific immunologically-competent cells, activation of complement, antibody dependent cytotoxicicity, or any combination thereof An antigen (immunogenic molecule) may be, for example, a peptide, glycopeptide, polypeptide, glycopolypeptide, polynucleotide, polysaccharide, lipid, or the like. It is readily apparent that an antigen can be synthesized, produced recombinantly, or derived from a biological sample. Exemplary biological samples that can contain one or more antigens include tissue samples, stool samples, cells, biological fluids, or combinations thereof. Antigens can be produced by cells that have been modified or genetically engineered to express an antigen. Antigens can also be present in a SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (e.g., a surface glycoprotein or portion thereof), such as present in a virion, or expressed or presented on the surface of a cell infected by SARS-CoV-2.
The term "epitope" or "antigenic epitope" includes any molecule, structure, amino acid sequence, or protein determinant that is recognized and specifically bound by a cognate binding molecule, such as an immunoglobulin, or other binding molecule, domain, or protein. Epitopic determinants generally contain chemically active surface groupings of molecules, such as amino acids or sugar side chains, and can have specific three-dimensional structural characteristics, as well as specific charge characteristics.
Where an antigen is or comprises a peptide or protein, the epitope can be comprised of consecutive amino acids (e.g., a linear epitope), or can be comprised of amino acids from different parts or regions of the protein that are brought into proximity by protein folding (e.g., a discontinuous or conformational epitope), or non-contiguous amino acids that are in close proximity irrespective of protein folding.
Antibodies, Antigen-Binding Fragments, and Compositions In one aspect, the present disclosure provides an isolated antibody, or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, that comprises a heavy chain variable domain (VH) comprising a CDRH1, a CDRH2, and a CDRH3, and a light chain variable domain (VL) comprising a CDRL1, a CDRL2, and a CDRL3, and is capable of binding to a surface glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2, in particular in an epitope that is at least partially comprised in or defined by Domain A. In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is capable of binding to a surface glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 expressed on a cell surface of a host cell and/or on a SARS-CoV-2 virion In certain embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present disclosure associates with or unites with a SARS-CoV-2 surface glycoprotein Domain A epitope or antigen comprising the epitope, while not significantly associating or uniting with any other molecules or components in a sample.
In certain embodiments, an antibody or antigen binding fragment of the present disclosure is cross-reactive for SARS-CoV-2 and one or more additional sarbecovirus of clade 2, but not of clade 1 or clade 3. In certain embodiments, an antibody or antigen binding fragment of the present disclosure is not cross-reactive against an embecovirus, a merbecovirus, or both.
In certain embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present disclosure specifically binds to a SARS-CoV-2 surface glycoprotein. As used herein, "specifically binds" refers to an association or union of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment to an antigen with an affinity or Ka (i.e., an equilibrium association constant of a particular binding interaction with units of 1/M) equal to or greater than 1051\44 (which equals the ratio of the on-rate [Km] to the off rate [Karr] for this association reaction), while not significantly associating or uniting with any other molecules or components in a sample. Alternatively, affinity may be defined as an equilibrium dissociation constant (Ka) of a particular binding interaction with units of M
(e.g., 10-5 M to 10-13 M). Antibodies may be classified as "high-affinity" antibodies or as "low-affinity" antibodies. "High-affinity" antibodies refer to those antibodies having a Ka of at least 107M4, at least 1081\41, at least 109 M-1, at least 1010 M-1, at least 1011 M4, at least 1012M4, or at least 10'3 M4 "Low-affinity" antibodies refer to those antibodies having a Ka of up to 107M4, up to 106 M-", up to 105 M1. Alternatively, affinity may be defined as an equilibrium dissociation constant (Ka) of a particular binding interaction with units of M (e.g., le M to I 013 M) In some contexts, antibody and antigen-binding fragments may be described with reference to affinity and/or to avidity for antigen. Unless otherwise indicated, avidity refers to the total binding strength of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof to antigen, and reflects binding affinity, valency of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment (e.g., whether the antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, or more binding sites), and, for example, whether another agent is present that can affect the binding (e.g., a non-competitive inhibitor of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment).
A variety of assays are known for identifying antibodies of the present disclosure that bind a particular target, as well as determining binding domain or binding protein affinities, such as Western blot, ELISA (e.g., direct, indirect, or sandwich), analytical ultracentrifugation, spectroscopy, and surface plasmon resonance (Biacoreg) analysis (see, e.g., Scatchard et al., Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. 51:660, 1949;
Wilson, Science 295:2103, 2002; Wolff et al., Cancer Res. 53:2560, 1993; and U.S.
Patent Nos. 5,283,173, 5,468,614, or the equivalent). Assays for assessing affinity or apparent affinity or relative affinity are also known.
In certain examples, binding can be determined by recombinantly expressing a SARS-CoV-2 antigen in a host cell (e.g., by transfection) and immunostaining the (e.g., fixed, or fixed and permeabilized) host cell with antibody and analyzing binding by flow cytometry (e.g., using a ZE5 Cell Analyzer (BioRadg) and FlowJo software (TreeStar). In some embodiments, positive binding can be defined by differential staining by antibody of SARS-CoV-2 -expressing cells versus control (e.g., mock) cells.
In some embodiments an antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present disclosure binds to SARS-CoV-2 S protein, as measured using biolayer interferometry.
In certain embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present disclosure binds to SARS-CoV-2 S protein with a KD of less than about 4.5x109 M, less than about 5x109 M, less than about 1x104 M, less than about 5x104 M, less than about 1x10-11 M, less than about 5x10-11 M, less than about 1x10'2 M, or less than about 5x1012 M.
Certain characteristics of presently disclosed antibodies or antigen-binding fragments may be described using IC50 or EC50 values. In certain embodiments, the IC50 is the concentration of a composition (e.g., antibody) that results in half-maximal inhibition of the indicated biological or biochemical function, activity, or response. In certain embodiments, the EC50 is the concentration of a composition that provides the half-maximal response in the assay. In some embodiments, e.g., for describing the ability of a presently disclosed antibody or antigen-binding fragment to neutralize infection by SARS-CoV-2, IC50 and EC50 are used interchangeably.
In certain embodiments, an antibody of the present disclosure is capable of neutralizing infection by SARS-CoV-2. As used herein, a "neutralizing antibody" is one that can neutralize, i.e., prevent, inhibit, reduce, impede, or interfere with, the ability of a pathogen to initiate and/or perpetuate an infection in a host.
Neutralization may be quantified by, for example, assessing SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels in a(n e.g.
lung) sample, assessing SARS-CoV-2 viral load in a(n e.g. lung) sample, assessing histopathology of a(n e.g. lung) sample, or the like. The terms "neutralizing antibody"
and "an antibody that neutralizes" or "antibodies that neutralize" are used interchangeably herein. In any of the presently disclosed embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is capable of preventing and/or neutralizing a SARS-CoV-2 infection in an in vitro model of infection and/or in an in vivo animal model of infection (e.g., using a Syrian hamster model with intranasal delivery of SARS-CoV-2) and/or in a human.
In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment (i) recognizes an epitope in the Domain A of SARS-CoV-2; (ii) is capable of neutralizing a SARS
CoV-2 infection; (iii) is capable of eliciting at least one immune effector function against SARS CoV-2; (iv) is capable of preventing shedding, from a cell infected with SARS CoV-2, of Si protein; or (v) any combination of (i)-(iv).
Terms understood by those in the art of antibody technology are each given the meaning acquired in the art, unless expressly defined differently herein. For example, the term "antibody" refers to an intact antibody comprising at least two heavy (H) chains and two light (L) chains inter-connected by disulfide bonds, as well as any antigen-binding portion or fragment of an intact antibody that has or retains the ability to bind to the antigen target molecule recognized by the intact antibody, such as an scFv, Fab, or Fab'2 fragment. Thus, the term "antibody" herein is used in the broadest sense and includes polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies, including intact antibodies and functional (antigen-binding) antibody fragments thereof, including fragment antigen binding (Fab) fragments, F(abl)2 fragments, Fab fragments, Fv fragments, recombinant IgG (rIgG) fragments, single chain antibody fragments, including single chain variable fragments (scFv), and single domain antibodies (e.g., sdAb, sdFv, nanobody) fragments. The term encompasses genetically engineered and/or otherwise modified forms of immunoglobulins, such as intrabodies, peptibodies, chimeric antibodies, fully human antibodies, humanized antibodies, and heteroconjugate antibodies, multispecific, e.g., bispecific antibodies, diabodies, triabodies, tetrabodies, tandem di-scFv, and tandem tri-scFv. Unless otherwise stated, the term "antibody"
should be understood to encompass functional antibody fragments thereof. The term also encompasses intact or full-length antibodies, including antibodies of any class or sub-class, including IgG and sub-classes thereof (IgGl, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4), IgM, IgE, IgA, and IgD.
The terms "VL" or "VL" and "VH" or "VH" refer to the variable binding region from an antibody light chain and an antibody heavy chain, respectively. In certain embodiments, a VL is a kappa (lc) class (also "VK" herein). In certain embodiments, a VL is a lambda (X) class. The variable binding regions comprise discrete, well-defined sub-regions known as "complementarity determining regions" (CDRs) and "framework regions" (FRs). The terms "complementarity determining region," and "CDR," are synonymous with "hypervariable region" or "HVR," and refer to sequences of amino acids within antibody variable regions, which, in general, together confer the antigen specificity and/or binding affinity of the antibody, wherein consecutive CDRs (i.e., CDR1 and CDR2, CDR2 and CDR3) are separated from one another in primary structure by a framework region. There are three CDRs in each variable region (HCDR1, HCDR2, HCDR3; LCDR1, LCDR2, LCDR3; also referred to as CDRHs and CDRLs, respectively). In certain embodiments, an antibody VH comprises four FRs and three CDRs as follows: FR1-HCDR1-FR2-HCDR2-FR3-HCDR3-FR4; and an antibody VL comprises four FRs and three CDRs as follows: FR1-LCDR1-FR2-LCDR2-FR3-LCDR3-FR4. In general, the VH and the VL together form the antigen-binding site through their respective CDRs.
As used herein, a "variant" of a CDR refers to a functional variant of a CDR
sequence having up to 1-3 amino acid substitutions (e.g., conservative or non-conservative substitutions), deletions, or combinations thereof.
Numbering of CDR and framework regions may be according to any known method or scheme, such as the Kabat, Chothia, EU, IMGT, and AHo numbering schemes (see, e.g., Kabat et al., " Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, US
Dept. Health and Human Services, Public Health Service National Institutes of Health, 1991, 5th ed.; Chothia and Lesk, J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917 (1987)); Lefranc et al., Dev.
Comp. Immunol. 27:55, 2003; Honegger and Pltickthun, J. Mol. Bio. 309:657-670 (2001)). Equivalent residue positions can be annotated and for different molecules to be compared using Antigen receptor Numbering And Receptor Classification (ANARCI) software tool (2016, Bioinformatics 15:298-300). Accordingly, identification of CDRs of an exemplary variable domain (VH or VL) sequence as provided herein according to one numbering scheme is not exclusive of an antibody comprising CDRs of the same variable domain as determined using a different numbering scheme. In certain embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment is provided that comprises CDRs in a VH sequence according to any one of SEQ

The term "CL" refers to an "immunoglobulin light chain constant region" or a "light chain constant region," i.e., a constant region from an antibody light chain. The term "CH" refers to an "immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region" or a "heavy chain constant region," which is further divisible, depending on the antibody isotype into CHL CH2, and CH3 (IgA, IgD, IgG), or CHL CH2, CH3, and CH4 domains (IgE, IgM) The Fc region of an antibody heavy chain is described further herein In any of the presently disclosed embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present disclosure comprises any one or more of CL, a CHI, a CH2, and a CH3.
In certain embodiments, a CL comprises an amino acid sequence having 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100% identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO. :8 or SEQ ID NO.: 9. In certain embodiments, a CH1-CH2-CH3 comprises an amino acid sequence having 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100% identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO. :6 or SEQ
ID NO.:7.
It will be understood that, for example, production in a mammalian cell line can remove one or more C-terminal lysine of an antibody heavy chain (see, e.g., Liu et al.
mAbs 6(5):1145-1154 (2014)). Accordingly, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present disclosure can comprise a heavy chain, a CH1-CH3, a CH3, or an Fc polypeptide wherein a C-terminal lysine residue is present or is absent; in other words, encompassed are embodiments where the C-terminal residue of a heavy chain, a CH3, or an Fc polypeptide is not a lysine (e.g., is a glycine), and embodiments where a lysine is the C-terminal residue. In certain embodiments, a composition comprises a plurality of an antibody and/or an antigen-binding fragment of the present disclosure, wherein one or more antibody or antigen-binding fragment does not comprise a lysine residue at the C-terminal end of the heavy chain, CH1-CH3, or Fc polypeptide, and wherein one or more antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises a lysine residue at the C-terminal end of the heavy chain, CH1-CH3, or Fc polypeptide.
A "Fab" (fragment antigen binding) is the part of an antibody that binds to antigens and includes the variable region and CH1 of the heavy chain linked to the light chain via an inter-chain disulfide bond. Each Fab fragment is monovalent with respect to antigen binding, i.e., it has a single antigen-binding site. Pepsin treatment of an antibody yields a single large F(ab')2 fragment that roughly corresponds to two disulfide linked Fab fragments having divalent antigen-binding activity and is still capable of cross-linking antigen. Both the Fab and F(ab')2 are examples of "antigen-binding fragments." Fab' fragments differ from Fab fragments by having additional few residues at the carboxy terminus of the CH1 domain including one or more cysteines from the antibody hinge region Fab'-SH is the designation herein for Fab' in which the cysteine residue(s) of the constant domains bear a free thiol group. F(ab')2 antibody fragments originally were produced as pairs of Fab' fragments that have hinge cysteines between them. Other chemical couplings of antibody fragments are also known.
Fab fragments may be joined, e.g., by a peptide linker, to form a single chain Fab, also referred to herein as "scFab." In these embodiments, an inter-chain disulfide bond that is present in a native Fab may not be present, and the linker serves in full or in part to link or connect the Fab fragments in a single polypeptide chain. A
heavy chain-derived Fab fragment (e.g., comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of VH +
CH1, or "Fd") and a light chain-derived Fab fragment (e.g., comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of VL + CL) may be linked in any arrangement to form a scFab. For example, a scFab may be arranged, in N-terminal to C-terminal direction, according to (heavy chain Fab fragment ¨ linker ¨ light chain Fab fragment) or (light chain Fab fragment ¨ linker ¨ heavy chain Fab fragment). Peptide linkers and exemplary linker sequences for use in scFabs are discussed in further detail herein.
"Fv" is a small antibody fragment that contains a complete antigen-recognition and antigen-binding site. This fragment generally consists of a dimer of one heavy- and one light-chain variable region domain in tight, non-covalent association.
However, even a single variable domain (or half of an Fv comprising only three CDRs specific for an antigen) can have the ability to recognize and bind antigen, although typically at a lower affinity than the entire binding site.
"Single-chain Fv" also abbreviated as "sFv" or "scFv", are antibody fragments that comprise the VH and VL antibody domains connected into a single polypeptide chain. In some embodiments, the scFv polypeptide comprises a polypeptide linker disposed between and linking the Vu and VL domains that enables the scFv to retain or form the desired structure for antigen binding. Such a peptide linker can be incorporated into a fusion polypeptide using standard techniques well known in the art.
For a review of scFv, see Pluckthun in The Pharmacology of Monoclonal Antibodies, vol. 113, Rosenburg and Moore eds., Springer-Verlag, New York, pp. 269-315 (1994);
Borrebaeck 1995, infra. In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises a scFv comprising a VH domain, a VL domain, and a peptide linker linking the VH domain to the VL domain In particular embodiments, a scFv comprises a VH domain linked to a VL domain by a peptide linker, which can be in a VH-linker-VL orientation or in a VL-linker-VH orientation. Any scFv of the present disclosure may be engineered so that the C-terminal end of the VL domain is linked by a short peptide sequence to the N-terminal end of the VH domain, or vice versa (i.e., (N)VL(C)-linker-(N)VH(C) or (N)VH(C)-linker-(N)VL(C). Alternatively, in some embodiments, a linker may be linked to an N-terminal portion or end of the VH
domain, the VL domain, or both.
Peptide linker sequences may be chosen, for example, based on: (1) their ability to adopt a flexible extended conformation; (2) their inability or lack of ability to adopt a secondary structure that could interact with functional epitopes on the first and second polypeptides and/or on a target molecule; and/or (3) the lack or relative lack of hydrophobic or charged residues that might react with the polypeptides and/or target molecule. Other considerations regarding linker design (e.g., length) can include the conformation or range of conformations in which the VH and VL can form a functional antigen-binding site. In certain embodiments, peptide linker sequences contain, for example, Gly, Asn and Ser residues. Other near neutral amino acids, such as Thr and Ala, may also be included in a linker sequence. Other amino acid sequences which may be usefully employed as linker include those disclosed in Maratea et al., Gene 40:39 46 (1985); Murphy et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 83:8258 8262 (1986); U.S.
Pat. No.
4,935,233, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,751,180. Other illustrative and non-limiting examples of linkers may include, for example, Glu-Gly-Lys-Ser-Ser-Gly-Ser-Gly-Ser-Glu-Ser-Lys-Val-Asp (SEQ ID NO: 19) (Chaudhary et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87:1066-1070 (1990)) and Lys-Glu-Ser-Gly-Ser-Val-Ser-Ser-Glu-Gln-Leu-Ala-Gln-Phe-Arg-Ser-Leu-Asp (SEQ ID NO: 20) (Bird et al., Science 242:423-426 (1988)) and the pentamer Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Ser (SEQ ID NO: 21) when present in a single iteration or repeated Ito 5 or more times, or more; see, e.g., SEQ ID NO: 17. Any suitable linker may be used, and in general can be about 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 15 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 amino acids in length, or less than about 200 amino acids in length, and will preferably comprise a flexible structure (can provide flexibility and room for conformational movement between two regions, domains, motifs, fragments, or modules connected by the linker), and will preferably be biologically inert and/or have a low risk of immunogenicity in a human. Exemplary linkers include those comprising or consisting of the amino acid sequence set forth in any one or more of SEQ ID NOs: 10-21.
In certain embodiments, the linker comprises or consists of an amino acid sequence having at least 75% (i.e., at least about 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or more) identity to the amino acid sequence set forth in any one of SEQ ID NOs: 10-21.
scFvs can be constructed using any combination of the VH and VL sequences or any combination of the CDRH1, CDRH2, CDRH3, CDRL1, CDRL2, and CDRL3 sequences disclosed herein.
In some embodiments, linker sequences are not required; for example, when the first and second polypeptides have non-essential N-terminal amino acid regions that can be used to separate the functional domains and prevent steric interference.
During antibody development, DNA in the germline variable (V), joining (J), and diversity (D) gene loci may be rearranged and insertions and/or deletions of nucleotides in the coding sequence may occur. Somatic mutations may be encoded by the resultant sequence, and can be identified by reference to a corresponding known germline sequence. In some contexts, somatic mutations that are not critical to a desired property of the antibody (e.g., binding to a SARS-CoV-2 antigen), or that confer an undesirable property upon the antibody (e.g., an increased risk of immunogenicity in a subject administered the antibody), or both, may be replaced by the corresponding germline-encoded amino acid, or by a different amino acid, so that a desirable property of the antibody is improved or maintained and the undesirable property of the antibody is reduced or abrogated. Thus, in some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present disclosure comprises at least one more germline-encoded amino acid in a variable region as compared to a parent antibody or antigen-binding fragment, provided that the parent antibody or antigen binding fragment comprises one or more somatic mutations. Variable region and CDR
amino acid sequences of exemplary anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies of the present disclosure are provided in Table 1 herein.
In certain embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises an amino acid modification (e.g., a substitution mutation) to remove an undesired risk of oxidation, deamidation, and/or isomerization.
Also provided herein are variant antibodies that comprise one or more amino acid alterations in a variable region (e.g., VH, VL, framework or CDR) as compared to a presently disclosed ("parent") antibody, wherein the variant antibody is capable of binding to a SARS-CoV-2 antigen.

together form a second antigen-binding site.
In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises a Fc polypeptide, or a fragment thereof. The "Fc" fragment or Fc polypeptide comprises the carboxy-terminal portions (i.e., the CH2 and CH3 domains of IgG) of both antibody H chains held together by disulfides. Antibody "effector functions" refer to those biological activities attributable to the Fc region (a native sequence Fc region or amino acid sequence variant Fc region) of an antibody, and vary with the antibody isotype.
Examples of antibody effector functions include: Clq binding and complement dependent cytotoxicity; Fc receptor binding; antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), phagocytosis, down regulation of cell surface receptors (e.g., B
cell receptor); and B cell activation. As discussed herein, modifications (e.g., amino acid substitutions) may be made to an Fc domain in order to modify (e.g., improve, reduce, or ablate) one or more functionality of an Fc-containing polypeptide (e.g., an antibody of the present disclosure). Such functions include, for example, Fc receptor (FcR) binding, antibody half-life modulation (e.g., by binding to FcRn), ADCC
function, protein A binding, protein G binding, and complement binding. Amino acid modifications that modify (e.g., improve, reduce, or ablate) Fc functionalities include, for example, the T250Q/M428L, M252Y/S254T/T256E, H433K/N434F, M428L/N434S, E233P/L234V/L235A/G236 + A327G/A330S/P331S, E333A, S239D/A330L/I332E, P2571/Q311, K326W/E333S, S239D/I332E/G236A, N297Q, K322A, S228P, L235E + E318A/K320A/K322A, L234A/L235A (also referred to herein as "LALA"), and L234A/L235A/P329G mutations, which mutations are summarized and annotated in "Engineered Fc Regions", published by InvivoGen (2011) and available online at invivogen.com/PDF/review/review-Engineered-Fc-Regions-invivogen.pdf?utm source=review&utm medium=pdf&utm campaign=review&utm content=Engineered-Fc-Regions, and are incorporated herein by reference. Unless the context indicates otherwise, Fc amino acid residues are numbered herein according to the EU numbering system.
For example, to activate the complement cascade, the Clq protein complex can bind to at least two molecules of IgG1 or one molecule of IgM when the immunoglobulin molecule(s) is attached to the antigenic target (Ward, E. S., and Ghetie, V., Ther. Immunol 2 (1995) 77-94). Burton, D. R., described (Mol.
Immtmol.
22 (1985) 161-206) that the heavy chain region comprising amino acid residues 318 to 337 is involved in complement fixation. Duncan, A. R., and Winter, G. (Nature (1988) 738-740), using site directed mutagenesis, reported that Glu318, Lys320 and Lys322 form the binding site to Clq. The role of Glu318, Lys320 and Lys 322 residues in the binding of Clq was confirmed by the ability of a short synthetic peptide containing these residues to inhibit complement mediated lysis.
For example, FcR binding can be mediated by the interaction of the Fc moiety (of an antibody) with Fc receptors (FcRs), which are specialized cell surface receptors on cells including hematopoietic cells. Fe receptors belong to the immunoglobulin superfamily, and shown to mediate both the removal of antibody-coated pathogens by phagocytosis of immune complexes, and the lysis of erythrocytes and various other cellular targets (e.g. tumor cells) coated with the corresponding antibody, via antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC; Van de Winkel, J. G., and Anderson, C.
L., J. Leukoc. Biol. 49 (1991) 511-524). FcRs are defined by their specificity for immunoglobulin classes; Fc receptors for IgG antibodies are referred to as FcyR, for IgE as Fcall, for IgA as FcaR and so on and neonatal Fc receptors are referred to as FcRn. Fc receptor binding is described for example in Ravetch, J. V., and Kinet, J. P., Annu. Rev. Immunol. 9 (1991) 457-492; Capel, P. J., et al., Immunomethods 4 (1994) 25-34; de Haas, M., et al., J Lab. Cl/n. Med. 126 (1995) 330-341; and Gessner, J. E., et al., Ann. Hematol. 76 (1998) 231-248 Cross-linking of receptors by the Fc domain of native IgG antibodies (FcyR) triggers a wide variety of effector functions including phagocytosis, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, and release of inflammatory mediators, as well as immune complex clearance and regulation of antibody production. Fc moieties providing cross-linking of receptors (e.g., FcyR) are contemplated herein. In humans, three classes of FcyR have been characterized to-date, which are: (i) FcyRI (CD64), which binds monomeric IgG with high affinity and is expressed on macrophages, monocytes, neutrophils and eosinophils; (ii) FcyRII (CD32), which binds complexed IgG
with medium to low affinity, is widely expressed, in particular on leukocytes, is believed to be a central player in antibody-mediated immunity, and which can be divided into FcyRITA, FcyRII,B and FeyRITC, which perform different functions in the immune system, but bind with similar low affinity to the IgG-Fe, and the ectodomains of these receptors are highly homologuous; and (iii) FcyRIII (CD16), which binds IgG
with medium to low affinity and has been found in two forms: FeyRITIA, which has been found on NK cells, macrophages, eosinophils, and some monocytes and T cells, and is believed to mediate ADCC; and FcyRIII,B, which is highly expressed on neutrophils.
FcyRITA is found on many cells involved in killing (e.g. macrophages, monocytes, neutrophils) and seems able to activate the killing process. FcyRIM
seems to play a role in inhibitory processes and is found on B-cells, macrophages and on mast cells and eosinophils. Importantly, it has been shown that 75% of all FcyRIIB
is found in the liver (Ganesan, L. P. et al., 2012: "FcyRIIb on liver sinusoidal endothelium clears small immune complexes," Journal of Immunology 189: 4981-4988). FeyMIB is abundantly expressed on Liver Sinusoidal Endothelium, called LSEC, and in Kupffer cells in the liver and LSEC are the major site of small immune complexes clearance (Ganesan, L. P. et al., 2012: FcyRIIb on liver sinusoidal endothelium clears small immune complexes. Journal of Immunology 189: 4981-4988).
In some embodiments, the antibodies disclosed herein and the antigen-binding fragments thereof comprise an Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof for binding to FeyRIIb, in particular an Fc region, such as, for example IgG-type antibodies.
Moreover, it is possible to engineer the Fc moiety to enhance FcyRIM binding by introducing the mutations S267E and L328F as described by Chu, S. Y. et al., 2008:
Inhibition of B cell receptor-mediated activation of primary human B cells by coengagement of CD 19 and FcgammaRII13 with Fc-engineered antibodies.
Molecular Immunology 45,3926-3933. Thereby, the clearance of immune complexes can be enhanced (Chu, S., et al., 2014: Accelerated Clearance of IgE In Chimpanzees Is Mediated By Xmab7195, An Fc-Engineered Antibody With Enhanced Affinity For Inhibitory Receptor FcyRIIb. Am J Respir Crit, American Thoracic Society International Conference Abstracts). In some embodiments, the antibodies of the present disclosure, or the antigen binding fragments thereof, comprise an engineered Fc moiety with the mutations S267E and L328F, in particular as described by Chu, S. Y. et al., 2008: Inhibition of B cell receptor-mediated activation of primary human B cells by coengagement of CD19 and FcgammaRIIb with Fc-engineered antibodies. Molecular Immunology 45, 3926-3933.
On B cells, FcyRIIB may function to suppress further immunoglobulin production and isotype switching to, for example, the IgE class. On macrophages, FcyRIIB is thought to inhibit phagocytosis as mediated through FcyRIIA. On eosinophils and mast cells, the B form may help to suppress activation of these cells through IgE binding to its separate receptor.
Regarding FcyRI binding, modification in native IgG of at least one of E233-G236, P238, D265, N297, A327 and P329 reduces binding to FcyRI. IgG2 residues at positions 233-236, substituted into corresponding positions IgG1 and IgG4, reduces binding of IgG1 and IgG4 to FcyRI by 103-fold and eliminated the human monocyte response to antibody-sensitized red blood cells (Armour, K. L., et al. Eur. J.
1111117111101.
29(1999) 2613-2624) Regarding FcyRII binding, reduced binding for FcyRIIA is found, e.g., for IgG
mutation of at least one of E233-G236, P238, D265, N297, A327, P329, D270, Q295, A327, R292 and K4I4.
Two allelic forms of human FcyRIIA are the "H131" variant, which binds to IgG1 Fc with high affinity, and the "R131" variant, which binds to IgG1 Fc with low affinity. See, e.g., Bruhns et al., Blood/13:3716-3725 (2009).
Regarding FcyRIII binding, reduced binding to FcyRIIIA is found, e.g., for mutation of at least one of E233-G236, P238, D265, N297, A327, P329, D270, Q295, A327, S239, E269, E293, Y296, V303, A327, K338 and D376. Mapping of the binding sites on human IgG 1 for Fc receptors, the above-mentioned mutation sites, and methods for measuring binding to FcyRI and FeyRIIA, are described in Shields, R. L., et al., J.
Biol. Chem. 276 (2001) 6591-6604.
Two allelic forms of human FcyRIIIA are the "F158" variant, which binds to IgG1 Fc with low affinity, and the "V158" variant, which binds to IgG1 Fc with high affinity. See, e.g., Bruhns et al., Blood/13:3716-3725 (2009).
Regarding binding to FcyRII, two regions of native IgG Fc appear to be involved in interactions between FcyRIIs and IgGs, namely (i) the lower hinge site of IgG Fc, in particular amino acid residues L, L, G, G (234 ¨ 237, EU
numbering), and (ii) the adjacent region of the CH2 domain of IgG Fc, in particular a loop and strands in the upper CH2 domain adjacent to the lower hinge region, e.g. in a region of (Wines, B.D., et al., J. Immunol. 2000; 164: 5313 ¨5318). Moreover, FcyR1 appears to bind to the same site on IgG Fc, whereas FcRn and Protein A bind to a different site on IgG Fc, which appears to be at the CH2-CH3 interface (Wines, B.D., et al., J.
Immunol.
2000; 164: 5313 ¨ 5318).
Also contemplated are mutations that increase binding affinity of an Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof of the present disclosure to a (i.e., one or more) Fcy receptor (e.g., as compared to a reference Fe polypeptide or fragment thereof or containing the same that does not comprise the mutation(s)). See, e.g., Delillo and Raveteh, Cell 161(5):1035-1045 (2015) and Ahmed et al., J. Struc. Biol.
194(1):78 (2016), the Fc mutations and techniques of which are incorporated herein by reference.
In any of the herein disclosed embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment can comprise a Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof comprising a mutation selected from G236A; S239D; A330L; and 1332E; or a combination comprising any two or more of the same; e.g., S239D/I332E; S239D/A330L/I332E;
G236A/S239D/I332E; G236A/A330L/I332E (also referred to herein as "GAALIE"), or G236A/S239D/A330L/I332E. In some embodiments, the Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof does not comprise S239D. In some embodiments, the Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof comprises S at position 239 (EU numbering) In certain embodiments, the Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof may comprise or consist of at least a portion of an Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof that is involved in binding to FcRn binding. In certain embodiments, the Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof comprises one or more amino acid modifications that improve binding affinity for (e.g., enhance binding to) FcRn (e.g., at a pH of about 6.0) and, in some embodiments, thereby extend in vivo half-life of a molecule comprising the Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof (e.g., as compared to a reference Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof or antibody that is otherwise the same but does not comprise the modification(s)). In certain embodiments, the Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof comprises or is derived from a IgG Fc and a half-life-extending mutation comprises any one or more of: M428L; N434S; N434H; N434A; N434S; M252Y; S254T; T256E;
T250Q; P257I Q31 11; D376V; T307A; E380A (EU numbering). In certain embodiments, a half-life-extending mutation comprises M428L/N434S (also referred to herein as "MLNS").

In certain embodiments, a half-life-extending mutation comprises D376V/N434H. In certain embodiments, a half-life-extending mutation comprises T307A/E380A/N434A.
In some embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment includes a Fc moiety that comprises the substitution mtuations M428L/N434S. In some embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment includes a Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof that comprises the substitution mtuations G236A/A330L/I332E.
In certain embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment includes a (e.g., IgG) Fc moiety that comprises a G236A mutation, an A330L mutation, and a 1332E
mutation (GAALIE), and does not comprise a S239D mutation (e.g., comprises a native S
at position 239). In particular embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment includes an Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof that comprises the substitution mutations: M428L/N434S and G236A/A330L/1332E, and optionally does not comprise S239D (e.g., comprises S at 239) In certain embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment includes a Fc polypeptide or fragment thereof that comprises the substitution mutations: M428L/N434S and G236A/S239D/A330L/1332E.
In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises a mutation that alters glycosylation, wherein the mutation that alters glycosylation comprises N297A, N297Q, or N297G, and/or the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is partially or fully aglycosylated and/or is partially or fully afucosylated.
Host cell lines and methods of making partially or fully aglycosylated or partially or fully afucosylated antibodies and antigen-binding fragments are known (see, e.g., PCT
Publication No. WO 2016/181357; Suzuki et al. Clin. Cancer Res. 13(6):1875-82 (2007); Huang et al. MAbs 6:1-12 (2018)).
In certain embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is capable of eliciting continued protection in vivo in a subject even once no detectable levels of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment can be found in the subject (i.e., when the antibody or antigen-binding fragment has been cleared from the subject following administration). Such protection is referred to herein as a vaccinal effect.
Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that dendritic cells can internalize complexes of antibody and antigen and thereafter induce or contribute to an endogenous immune response against antigen. In certain embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises one or more modifications, such as, for example, mutations in the Fc comprising G236A, A330L, and 1332E, that are capable of activating dendritic cells that may induce, e.g., T cell immunity to the antigen.
In any of the presently disclosed embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises a Fc polypeptide or a fragment thereof, including a CH2 (or a fragment thereof, a CH3 (or a fragment thereof), or a CH2 and a CH3, wherein the CH2, the CH3, or both can be of any isotype and may contain amino acid substitutions or other modifications as compared to a corresponding wild-type CH2 or CH3, respectively. In certain embodiments, a Fc polypeptide of the present disclosure comprises two CH2-CH3 polypeptides that associate to form a dimer.
In any of the presently disclosed embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment can be monoclonal The term "monoclonal antibody" (mAb) as used herein refers to an antibody obtained from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies, i.e., individual antibodies comprising the population are identical except for possible naturally occurring mutations that may be present, in some cases in minor amounts. Monoclonal antibodies are highly specific, being directed against a single antigenic site. Furthermore, in contrast to polyclonal antibody preparations that include different antibodies directed against different epitopes, each monoclonal antibody is directed against a single epitope of the antigen. In addition to their specificity, the monoclonal antibodies are advantageous in that they may be synthesized uncontaminated by other antibodies. The term "monoclonal" is not to be construed as requiring production of the antibody by any particular method. For example, monoclonal antibodies useful in the present invention may be prepared by the hybridoma methodology first described by Kohler et al., Nature 256:495 (1975), or may be made using recombinant DNA methods in bacterial, eukaryotic animal, or plant cells (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567). Monoclonal antibodies may also be isolated from phage antibody libraries using the techniques described in Clackson et al., Nature, 352:624-628 (1991) and Marks et Mol Biol., 222:581-597 (1991), for example.
Monoclonal antibodies may also be obtained using methods disclosed in PCT
Publication No. WO 2004/076677A2.
Antibodies and antigen-binding fragments of the present disclosure include "chimeric antibodies" in which a portion of the heavy and/or light chain is identical with or homologous to corresponding sequences in antibodies derived from a particular species or belonging to a particular antibody class or subclass, while the remainder of the chain(s) is identical with or homologous to corresponding sequences in antibodies derived from another species or belonging to another antibody class or subclass, as well as fragments of such antibodies, so long as they exhibit the desired biological activity (see, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,816,567; 5,530,101 and 7,498,415; and Morrison et al., Proc.
Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 81:6851-6855 (1984)). For example, chimeric antibodies may comprise human and non-human residues. Furthermore, chimeric antibodies may comprise residues that are not found in the recipient antibody or in the donor antibody.
These modifications are made to further refine antibody performance. For further details, see Jones et al., Nature 321:522-525 (1986); Riechmann etal., Nature 332:323-329 (1988); and Presta, C 117T . Op. StrucL Biol. 2:593-596 (1992). Chimeric antibodies also include primatized and humanized antibodies.
A "humanized antibody" is generally considered to be a human antibody that has one or more amino acid residues introduced into it from a source that is non-human.
These non-human amino acid residues are typically taken from a variable domain.
Humanization may be performed following the method of Winter and co-workers (Jones et at., Nature, 321:522-525 (1986); Reichmann et at., Nature, 332:323-(1988); Verhoeyen et al., Science, 239:1534-1536 (1988)), by substituting non-human variable sequences for the corresponding sequences of a human antibody.
Accordingly, such "humanized" antibodies are chimeric antibodies (U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,816,567;
5,530,101 and 7,498,415) wherein substantially less than an intact human variable domain has been substituted by the corresponding sequence from a non-human species.
In some instances, a -humanized" antibody is one which is produced by a non-human cell or animal and comprises human sequences, e.g., Hc domains.
A "human antibody" is an antibody containing only sequences that are present in an antibody that is produced by a human (i.e., sequences that are encoded by human antibody-encoding genes). However, as used herein, human antibodies may comprise residues or modifications not found in a naturally occurring human antibody (e.g., an antibody that is isolated from a human), including those modifications and variant sequences described herein. These are typically made to further refine or enhance antibody performance. In some instances, human antibodies are produced by transgenic animals. For example, see U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,770,429; 6,596,541 and 7,049,426.
In certain embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present disclosure is chimeric, humanized, or human.
Polynucleotides, Vectors, and Host cells In another aspect, the present disclosure provides isolated polynucleotides that encode any of the presently disclosed antibodies or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, or a portion thereof (e.g., a CDR, a VH, a VL, a heavy chain, or a light chain).
In certain embodiments, the polynucleotide is codon-optimized for expression in a host cell. Once a coding sequence is known or identified, codon optimization can be performed using known techniques and tools, e.g., using the GenScript OptimiumGeneTM tool; see also Scholten et at., Cl/n. 1111171111101 119:135, 2006).
Codon-optimized sequences include sequences that are partially codon-optimized (i.e., one or more codon is optimized for expression in the host cell) and those that are fully codon-optimized.
It will also be appreciated that polynucleotides encoding antibodies and antigen-binding fragments of the present disclosure may possess different nucleotide sequences while still encoding a same antibody or antigen-binding fragment due to, for example, the degeneracy of the genetic code, splicing, and the like.
In certain embodiments, the polynucleotide comprises a polynucleotide having at least 50% (i.e., 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100%) identity to the polynucleotide sequence according to any one or more of SEQ ID NOs.:30, 31, 40, 41, 50, 51, 60, 61, 70, 71, 80, 81, 90, 91, 100, 101, 110, 111, 120, 121, 130, 131, 140, 141, 150, 151, 160, 161, 170, 171, 180, 181, 190, 191, 200, 201, 210, 211, 220, 221, 230, 231, 240, 241, 250, 251, 260, 261, 270, 271, 280, 281, 290, 291, 300, 301, 310, 311, 320, 321, 330, 331, 340, 341, 350, 351, 360, 361, 370, 371, 380, 381, 390, 391, 400, 401, 410, 411, 420, 421, 430, 431, 440, and 441, or any combination thereof (e.g., a polynucleotide comprises a polynucleotide having at least 50% identity to to SEQ ID NO. :30 and a polynucleotide having at least 50% identity to SEQ ID NO. :31).
It will be appreciated that in certain embodiments, a polynucleotide encoding an antibody or antigen-binding fragment is comprised in a polynucleotide that includes other sequences and/or features for, e.g-., expression of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment in a host cell. Exemplary features include a promoter sequence, a polyadenylation sequence, a sequence that encodes a signal peptide (e.g., located at the N-terminus of a expressed antibody heavy chain or light chain), or the like.
In any of the presently disclosed embodiments, the polynucleotide can comprise deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA). In some embodiments, the RNA comprises messenger RNA (mRNA).
Vectors are also provided, wherein the vectors comprise or contain a polynucleotide as disclosed herein (e.g., a polynucleotide that encodes an antibody or antigen-binding fragment that binds to SARS-CoV-2). A vector can comprise any one or more of the vectors disclosed herein. In particular embodiments, a vector is provided that comprises a DNA plasmid construct encoding the antibody or antigen-binding fragment, or a portion thereof (e.g., so-called "DMAb"; see, e.g., Muthumani et al., J
infect Dis. 214(3):369-378 (2016); Muthumani et al., Hum Vaccin Immunother 9:2253-2262 (2013)); Flingai et al., Sci Rep. 5:12616 (2015); and Elliott et al., NPJ
Vaccines 18 (2017), which antibody-coding DNA constructs and related methods of use, including administration of the same, are incorporated herein by reference).
In certain embodiments, a DNA plasmid construct comprises a single open reading frame encoding a heavy chain and a light chain (or a VH and a VL) of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment, wherein the sequence encoding the heavy chain and the sequence encoding the light chain are optionally separated by polynucleotide encoding a protease cleavage site and/or by a polynucleotide encoding a self-cleaving peptide. In some embodiments, the substituent components of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment are encoded by a polynucleotide comprised in a single plasmid. In other embodiments, the substituent components of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment are encoded by a polynucleotide comprised in two or more plasmids (e.g., a first plasmid comprises a polynucleotide encoding a heavy chain, VH, or VH+CH, and a second plasmid comprises a polynucleotide encoding the cognate light chain, VL, or VL+CL). In certain embodiments, a single plasmid comprises a polynucleotide encoding a heavy chain and/or a light chain from two or more antibodies or antigen-binding fragments of the present disclosure. An exemplary expression vector is pVaxl, available from Invitrogen . A DNA plasmid of the present disclosure can be delivered to a subject by, for example, electroporation (e.g., intramuscular electroporation), or with an appropriate formulation (e.g., hyaluronidase).
In a further aspect, the present disclosure also provides a host cell expressing an antibody or antigen-binding fragment according to the present disclosure; or comprising or containing a vector or polynucleotide according the present disclosure.
Examples of such cells include but are not limited to, eukaryotic cells, e.g., yeast cells, animal cells, insect cells, plant cells; and prokaryotic cells, including E. coli In some embodiments, the cells are mammalian cells. In certain such embodiments, the cells are a mammalian cell line such as CHO cells (e.g., DHFR- CHO cells (Urlaub et al., PNAS 77:4216 (1980)), human embryonic kidney cells (e.g., HEK293T cells), PER.C6 cells, YO cells, Sp2/0 cells. NSO cells, human liver cells, e.g. Hepa RG cells, myeloma cells or hybridoma cells. Other examples of mammalian host cell lines include mouse sertoli cells (e.g., TNI4 cells); monkey kidney CV1 line transformed by SV40 (COS-7); baby hamster kidney cells (BHK); African green monkey kidney cells (VERO-76); monkey kidney cells (CV1); human cervical carcinoma cells (BELA);
human lung cells (W138); human liver cells (Hep G2); canine kidney cells (MDCK;
buffalo rat liver cells (BRL 3A); mouse mammary tumor (MMT 060562); TRI
cells; MRC 5 cells; and FS4 cells. Mammalian host cell lines suitable for antibody production also include those described in, for example, Yazaki and Wu, Methods in Molecular Biology, Vol. 248 (B. K. C. Lo, ed., Humana Press, Totowa, N.J.), pp. 255-268 (2003).
In certain embodiments, a host cell is a prokaryotic cell, such as an E. coll.
The expression of peptides in prokaryotic cells such as E. coil is well established (see, e.g., Pluckthun, A. Bio/Technology 9:545-551 (1991). For example, antibodies may be produced in bacteria, in particular when glycosylation and Fc effector function are not needed. For expression of antibody fragments and polypeptides in bacteria, see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,648,237, 5,789,199, and 5,840,523.
In particular embodiments, the cell may be transfected with a vector according to the present description with an expression vector. The term "transfection"
refers to the introduction of nucleic acid molecules, such as DNA or RNA (e.g. mRNA) molecules, into cells, such as into eukaryotic cells. In the context of the present description, the term "transfection" encompasses any method known to the skilled person for introducing nucleic acid molecules into cells, such as into eukaryotic cells, including into mammalian cells. Such methods encompass, for example, electroporation, lipofection, e.g., based on cationic lipids and/or liposomes, calcium phosphate precipitation, nanoparticle based transfection, virus based transfection, or transfection based on cationic polymers, such as DEAE-dextran or polyethylenimine, etc In certain embodiments, the introduction is non-viral Moreover, host cells of the present disclosure may be transfected stably or transiently with a vector according to the present disclosure, e.g. for expressing an antibody, or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, according to the present disclosure.
In such embodiments, the cells may be stably transfected with the vector as described herein. Alternatively, cells may be transiently transfected with a vector according to the present disclosure encoding an antibody or antigen-binding fragment as disclosed herein. In any of the presently disclosed embodiments, a polynucleotide may be heterologous to the host cell.
Accordingly, the present disclosure also provides recombinant host cells that heterologously express an antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present disclosure. For example, the cell may be of a species that is different to the species from which the antibody was fully or partially obtained (e.g., CHO cells expressing a human antibody or an engineered human antibody). In some embodiments, the cell type of the host cell does not express the antibody or antigen-binding fragment in nature Moreover, the host cell may impart a post-translational modification (PTM, e.g., glysocylation or fucosylation) on the antibody or antigen-binding fragment that is not present in a native state of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment (or in a native state of a parent antibody from which the antibody or antigen binding fragment was engineered or derived) Such a PTM may result in a functional difference (e.g., reduced immunogenicity). Accordingly, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present disclosure that is produced by a host cell as disclosed herein may include one or more post-translational modification that is distinct from the antibody (or parent antibody) in its native state (e.g., a human antibody produced by a CHO cell can comprise a more post-translational modification that is distinct from the antibody when isolated from the human and/or produced by the native human B cell or plasma cell).
Insect cells useful expressing a binding protein of the present disclosure are known in the art and include, for example, ,S'podoptera frugipera Sf9 cells, Trichoplusia ni BTI-TN5B1-4 cells, and Spodoptera fruppera SfSWTO1 "Mimi CTM" cells. See, e.g., Palmberger et at., J. Biotechnot /53(3-4):160-166 (2011). Numerous baculoviral strains have been identified which may be used in conjunction with insect cells, particularly for transfecti on of S'podopterafrugiperda cells Eukaryotic microbes such as filamentous fungi or yeast are also suitable hosts for cloning or expressing protein-encoding vectors, and include fungi and yeast strains with "humanized" glycosylation pathways, resulting in the production of an antibody with a partially or fully human glycosylation pattern. See Gerngross, Nat.
Biotech. 22:1409-1414 (2004); Li et al., Nat. Biotech. 24:210-215 (2006).
Plant cells can also be utilized as hosts for expressing a binding protein of the present disclosure. For example, PLANTIBODIESTm technology (described in, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,959,177; 6,040,498; 6,420,548; 7,125,978; and 6,417,429) employs transgenic plants to produce antibodies.

In general, an appropriate dose and treatment regimen provide the composition(s) in an amount sufficient to provide therapeutic and/or prophylactic benefit (such as described herein, including an improved clinical outcome (e.g., a decrease in frequency, duration, or severity of diarrhea or associated dehydration, or inflammation, or longer disease-free and/or overall survival, or a lessening of symptom severity). For prophylactic use, a dose should be sufficient to prevent, delay the onset of, or diminish the severity of a disease associated with disease or disorder.
Prophylactic benefit of the compositions administered according to the methods described herein can be determined by performing pre-clinical (including in vitro and in vivo animal studies) and clinical studies and analyzing data obtained therefrom by appropriate statistical, biological, and clinical methods and techniques, all of which can readily be practiced by a person skilled in the art.
Compositions are administered in an effective amount (e.g., to treat a Wuhan coronavirus infection), which will vary depending upon a variety of factors including the activity of the specific compound employed; the metabolic stability and length of action of the compound; the age, body weight, general health, sex, and diet of the subject; the mode and time of administration; the rate of excretion; the drug combination; the severity of the particular disorder or condition; and the subject undergoing therapy. In certain embodiments, tollowing administration of therapies according to the formulations and methods of this disclosure, test subjects will exhibit about a 10% up to about a 99% reduction in one or more symptoms associated with the disease or disorder being treated as compared to placebo-treated or other suitable control subjects.
Generally, a therapeutically effective daily dose of an antibody or antigen binding fragment is (for a 70 kg mammal) from about 0.001 mg/kg (i.e., 0.07 mg) to about 100 mg/kg (i.e., 7.0 g); preferably a therapeutically effective dose is (for a 70 kg mammal) from about 0.01 mg/kg (i.e., 0.7 mg) to about 50 mg/kg (i.e., 3.5 g);
more preferably a therapeutically effective dose is (for a 70 kg mammal) from about 1 mg/kg (i.e., 70 mg) to about 25 mg/kg (i.e., 1.75 g). For polynucleotides, vectors, host cells, and related compositions of the present disclosure, a therapeutically effective dose may be different than for an antibody or antigen-binding fragment.

RECOMBINANT EXPRESSION OF CERTAIN ANTIBODIES
Antibodies were recombinantly expressed in ExpiCHO cells transiently co-transfected with plasmids expressing the heavy and light chains as previously described (Stettler et at. (2016)). Specificity, cross-reactivity, and function of antibodies elicited by Zika virus infection. Science, 353(6301), 823-826). The concentration of antibody in cell culture supernatant was measured for antibodies as shown in Table 2.
Table 2.

Certain antibodies of the present disclosure were characterized by identification of the germline VH and VL genes, their EC50 and KD for binding to SARS-CoV-2 Domain A, and whether they exhibit neutralizing activity against SARS-CoV-2.
The results are shown in Table 3. The notation "nn" indicates that the antibody was not neutralizing by this assay. Blank cells in the table indicate that no measurement was made.

Introduction The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus at the end of 2019 resulted in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The lack of pre-existing immunity to SARS-CoV-2 combined with its efficient human-to-human transmission has already resulted in more than 86 million infections and over 1.85 million fatalities as of January 2021.
Prophylactic and/or therapeutic anti-viral drugs may be helpful for unvaccinated individuals or those who respond poorly to vaccination as well as upon waning of immunity or emergence of antigenically distinct strains.
SARS-Coli-2 infects host cells through attachment of the viral transinembrane spike (S) glycoprotein to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE) followed by fusion of the viral and host membranes (Letko et al., 2020; Walls et al., 2020c;
Wrapp et al., 2020; Zhou et al., 2020). SARS-CoV-2 S also engages cell-surface heparan-sulfates (Clausen et al., 2020), neuropilin-1 (Cantuti-Castelvetri et al., 2020; Daly et al., 2020) and L-SIGN/DC-SIGN (Chiodo et al., 2020; Gao et al., 2020; Soh et al., 2020;
Thepaut et al., 2020) which were proposed to serve as co-receptors, auxiliary receptors, or adsorption factors. SARS-CoV-2 S is the main target of neutralizing Abs in infected individuals and the focus of the many nucleic acid, vectored, and protein subunit vaccines currently deployed or in development (Corbett et al., 2020a; Corbett et al., 2020b, Erasmus et al., 2020; Hassan et al., 2020; Keech et al., 2020; Mercado et al., 2020; Walls et al., 2020b). Besides blocking ACE2 attachment (Piccoli et al., 2020;
Tortorici et al., 2020), some neutralizing Abs may interfere with heparan-sulfate, neuropilin-1 or L-SIGN/DC-SIGN interactions.
The SARS-CoV-2 S protein comprises an N-terminal Si subunit responsible for virus¨receptor binding, and a C-terminal Sz subunit that promotes virus¨cell membrane fusion (Walls et al., 2020c; Wrapp et al., 2020). The Si subunit comprises an N-terminal domain (NTD) and a receptor-binding domain (RBD), also known as domain A and B, respectively (Tortorici and Veesler, 2019) Antibodies targeting the RBD
account for 90% of the neutralizing activity in COVID-19 convalescent sera (Piccoli et al., 2020) and numerous monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) recognizing this domain have been isolated and characterized (Barnes et al., 2020a; Barnes et al., 2020b, Baum et al., 2020b; Brouwer et al., 2020; Hansen et al., 2020; Ju et al., 2020; Piccoli et al., 2020;
Pinto et al., 2020; Tortorici et al., 2020; Wang et al., 2020; Wu et al., 2020). Several RBD-specific mAbs capable of protecting small animals and non-human primates from SARS-CoV-2 challenge are able to neutralize viral infection by targeting multiple distinct antigenic sites (Baum et al., 2020a; Hansen et al., 2020; Jones et al., 2020; Pinto et al., 2020; Rogers et al., 2020; Tortorici et al., 2020; Zost et al., 2020).
A subset of these mAbs is currently being evaluated in clinical trials or have recently received emergency use authorization from the FDA
The apparent limited immunogenicity of the SARS-CoV-2 NTD in COVID-19 patients (Piccoli et al., 2020; Rogers et al., 2020) has been hypothesized to result from its N-linked glycan shielding (Walls et al., 2020c; Watanabe et al., 2020).
However, some studies have reported on the isolation of NTD-targeted mAbs and their ability to neutralize SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitro suggesting they could be useful for COVID-19 prophylaxis or treatment (Chi et al., 2020; Liu et al., 2020a). Although the NTD has been proposed to interact with auxiliary receptors in cell types that do not express ACE2 (e.g. DC-SIGN/L-SIGN), its role and the mechanism of action of NTD
targeted neutralizing mAbs remain unknown (Soh et al., 2020). Understanding the immunogenicity of different S domains and the function of mAbs targeting them, including the NTD, is important to understanding immunity during the pandemic.
Ab responses in three COVID-19 convalescent individuals were analyzed and 41 NTD-specific human mAbs were identified. Integrating cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM), binding assays, and antibody escape mutants analysis a SARS-CoV-2 NTD
antigenic map was defined, and a supersite recognized by potent neutralizing mAbs was identified. These mAbs exhibit neutralization activities on par with potent RBD-specific mAbs and efficiently activate Fc-mediated effector functions. Immunologically important variations of the SARS-CoV-2 NTD were also identified, suggesting that the S glycoprotein is under selective pressure from the host humoral immune response. A
highly potent NTD mAb was shown to provide prophylactic protection against lethal SARS-CoV-2 challenge of Syrian hamsters.
NTD-specific mAbs with potent neutralizing activity To discover mAbs targeting diverse SARS-CoV-2 epitopes, IgG- memory B
cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of three COVID-19 convalescent individuals (L, M, X) were sorted using biotinylated prefusion SARS-CoV-2 S as a bait. The percentage of SARS-CoV-2 S-reactive IgG B cells ranged between Ll - L3 % of IgG+ memory B cells. A total of 278 mAbs were isolated and recombinantly produced as human IgG I (Figure 20). Characterization by ELISA
showed that most mAbs isolated from the three donors recognize the RBD (65-77%), with a smaller fraction targeting the NTD (6-20%). The remaining mAbs (4-20%) are expected to bind to either the Sz subunit or the C-D domains within the Si subunit (Figure 20). The low proportion of NTD-specific mAbs isolated from these donors is in line with the previously observed limited NTD immunogenicity in SARS-CoV-2 exposed individuals (Piccoli et al., 2020; Rogers et al., 2020). Overall, 41 mAbs recognizing the SARS-CoV2 NTD were identified, with EC50s ranging between 7.6 -698 ng/ml and nanomolar binding affinities, as evaluated using ELISA and biolayer interferometry, respectively (Figures 21, 24A-24D, and 28A-28F, and Tables 6 and 7). These NTD-specific mAbs use a large repertoire of V genes, with an over-representation of IGHV3-21 and IGK3-15 genes (Figure 25 and Tables 6 and 7).
These mAbs harbor few somatic hypermutations (VH and VL are 97.57% and 97.54%
identical to V germline genes, respectively; (Figure 26, Tables 6 and 7), as previously described for most SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing mAbs binding to the RBD (Piccoli et al., 2020; Seydoux et al., 2020). Antibody 418_i is also referred to herein as S2X28.

Introduction The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus at the end of 2019 resulted in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The lack of pre-existing immunity to SARS-CoV-2 combined with its efficient human-to-human transmission has already resulted in more than 86 million infections and over 1.85 million fatalities as of January 2021.
Prophylactic and/or therapeutic anti-viral drugs may be helpful for unvaccinated individuals or those who respond poorly to vaccination as well as upon waning of immunity or emergence of antigenically distinct strains.
SARS-Coli-2 infects host cells through attachment of the viral transinembrane spike (S) glycoprotein to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE) followed by fusion of the viral and host membranes (Letko et al., 2020; Walls et al., 2020c;
Wrapp et al., 2020; Zhou et al., 2020). SARS-CoV-2 S also engages cell-surface heparan-sulfates (Clausen et al., 2020), neuropilin-1 (Cantuti-Castelvetri et al., 2020; Daly et al., 2020) and L-SIGN/DC-SIGN (Chiodo et al., 2020; Gao et al., 2020; Soh et al., 2020;
Thepaut et al., 2020) which were proposed to serve as co-receptors, auxiliary receptors, or adsorption factors. SARS-CoV-2 S is the main target of neutralizing Abs in infected individuals and the focus of the many nucleic acid, vectored, and protein subunit vaccines currently deployed or in development (Corbett et al., 2020a; Corbett et al., 2020b, Erasmus et al., 2020; Hassan et al., 2020; Keech et al., 2020; Mercado et al., 2020; Walls et al., 2020b). Besides blocking ACE2 attachment (Piccoli et al., 2020;
Tortorici et al., 2020), some neutralizing Abs may interfere with heparan-sulfate, neuropilin-1 or L-SIGN/DC-SIGN interactions.
The SARS-CoV-2 S protein comprises an N-terminal Si subunit responsible for virus¨receptor binding, and a C-terminal Sz subunit that promotes virus¨cell membrane fusion (Walls et al., 2020c; Wrapp et al., 2020). The Si subunit comprises an N-terminal domain (NTD) and a receptor-binding domain (RBD), also known as domain A and B, respectively (Tortorici and Veesler, 2019) Antibodies targeting the RBD
account for 90% of the neutralizing activity in COVID-19 convalescent sera (Piccoli et al., 2020) and numerous monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) recognizing this domain have been isolated and characterized (Barnes et al., 2020a; Barnes et al., 2020b, Baum et al., 2020b; Brouwer et al., 2020; Hansen et al., 2020; Ju et al., 2020; Piccoli et al., 2020;
Pinto et al., 2020; Tortorici et al., 2020; Wang et al., 2020; Wu et al., 2020). Several RBD-specific mAbs capable of protecting small animals and non-human primates from SARS-CoV-2 challenge are able to neutralize viral infection by targeting multiple distinct antigenic sites (Baum et al., 2020a; Hansen et al., 2020; Jones et al., 2020; Pinto et al., 2020; Rogers et al., 2020; Tortorici et al., 2020; Zost et al., 2020).
A subset of these mAbs is currently being evaluated in clinical trials or have recently received emergency use authorization from the FDA
The apparent limited immunogenicity of the SARS-CoV-2 NTD in COVID-19 patients (Piccoli et al., 2020; Rogers et al., 2020) has been hypothesized to result from its N-linked glycan shielding (Walls et al., 2020c; Watanabe et al., 2020).
However, some studies have reported on the isolation of NTD-targeted mAbs and their ability to neutralize SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitro suggesting they could be useful for COVID-19 prophylaxis or treatment (Chi et al., 2020; Liu et al., 2020a). Although the NTD has been proposed to interact with auxiliary receptors in cell types that do not express ACE2 (e.g. DC-SIGN/L-SIGN), its role and the mechanism of action of NTD
targeted neutralizing mAbs remain unknown (Soh et al., 2020). Understanding the immunogenicity of different S domains and the function of mAbs targeting them, including the NTD, is important to understanding immunity during the pandemic.
Ab responses in three COVID-19 convalescent individuals were analyzed and 41 NTD-specific human mAbs were identified. Integrating cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM), binding assays, and antibody escape mutants analysis a SARS-CoV-2 NTD
antigenic map was defined, and a supersite recognized by potent neutralizing mAbs was identified. These mAbs exhibit neutralization activities on par with potent RBD-specific mAbs and efficiently activate Fc-mediated effector functions. Immunologically important variations of the SARS-CoV-2 NTD were also identified, suggesting that the S glycoprotein is under selective pressure from the host humoral immune response. A
highly potent NTD mAb was shown to provide prophylactic protection against lethal SARS-CoV-2 challenge of Syrian hamsters.
NTD-specific mAbs with potent neutralizing activity To discover mAbs targeting diverse SARS-CoV-2 epitopes, IgG- memory B
cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of three COVID-19 convalescent individuals (L, M, X) were sorted using biotinylated prefusion SARS-CoV-2 S as a bait. The percentage of SARS-CoV-2 S-reactive IgG B cells ranged between Ll - L3 % of IgG+ memory B cells. A total of 278 mAbs were isolated and recombinantly produced as human IgG I (Figure 20). Characterization by ELISA
showed that most mAbs isolated from the three donors recognize the RBD (65-77%), with a smaller fraction targeting the NTD (6-20%). The remaining mAbs (4-20%) are expected to bind to either the Sz subunit or the C-D domains within the Si subunit (Figure 20). The low proportion of NTD-specific mAbs isolated from these donors is in line with the previously observed limited NTD immunogenicity in SARS-CoV-2 exposed individuals (Piccoli et al., 2020; Rogers et al., 2020). Overall, 41 mAbs recognizing the SARS-CoV2 NTD were identified, with EC50s ranging between 7.6 -698 ng/ml and nanomolar binding affinities, as evaluated using ELISA and biolayer interferometry, respectively (Figures 21, 24A-24D, and 28A-28F, and Tables 6 and 7). These NTD-specific mAbs use a large repertoire of V genes, with an over-representation of IGHV3-21 and IGK3-15 genes (Figure 25 and Tables 6 and 7).
These mAbs harbor few somatic hypermutations (VH and VL are 97.57% and 97.54%
identical to V germline genes, respectively; (Figure 26, Tables 6 and 7), as previously described for most SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing mAbs binding to the RBD (Piccoli et al., 2020; Seydoux et al., 2020). Antibody 418_i is also referred to herein as S2X28.

In vitro neutralization activity of the NTD-specific mAbs was evaluated using a SARS-CoV-2 S pseudotyped murine leukemia virus system (Millet and Whittaker, 2016; Walls et al., 2020c). Out of 41 mAbs, 9 are potent neutralizers (IC0 <
50 ng/mL) and 6 are moderate neutralizers (IC50 of 50-150 ng/mL) (Figure 21). The remaining 25 mAbs were non-neutralizing. Most of the mAbs plateaued around 80-90% maximum neutralization in this assay (Figures 21 and 29A-29F). Evaluation of the neutralization potency of a subset of NTD-specific mAbs measured 6 hours post-infection of Vero E6 cells infected with authentic SARS-CoV-2 virus confirmed that these mAbs did not completely block viral entry and instead plateaued at 80-90% neutralization, as opposed to the RBD-specific mAbs S309, S2E12 and S2M11 that achieved 100%
neutralization (Figure 22) (Pinto et al., 2020; Tortorici et al., 2020). When the activity was measured at 24 hours post-infection, however, all mAbs tested achieved 95-100%
neutralization with a marked enhancement of neutralization potency (Figure 23). For instance, S2X333 neutralized SARS-CoV-2 with an IC50 of 2 ng/ml and an IC90 of 12 ng/ml, on par with the potent RBD-targeting mAbs S2E12 and S2M11 (Figure 23).
Previous studies established that SARS-CoV-2 infection of Vero E6 cells proceeds through cathepsin-activated endosomal fusion, as opposed to TMPRSS2-dependent entry which is thought to occur at the level of the plasma membrane and to be the most relevant route of lung cells infection (Hoffmann et al., 2020a;
Hoffmann et al., 2020b; Hoffmann et al., 2020c) Antibodies S2L28, S2M28, S2X28 and S2X333 efficiently block cell-cell fusion (Figure 27) Definition of a SARS-CoV-2 NTD antigenic map Competition biolayer interferometry binding assays were carried out using recombinant SARS-CoV-2 S The data indicated that the mAbs recognize six distinct antigenic sites, designated i, ii, iii, iv, v and vi. Most mAbs clustered within antigenic sites i and iii, whereas sites ii, iv, v and vi each accounted for only one or a small number of mAbs from the panel (Figures 30 and 31A-31I). All potently neutralizing mAbs tested competed for binding to the NTD site i (Figures 21, 22, and 30) Mechanism of action of NTD-specific neutralizing mAbs The ability of these mAbs to block ACE2 binding was evaluated, as this step correlates with neutralization titers in SARS-CoV-2 exposed individuals (Piccoli et al., 2020). None of the site i-targeting mAbs (S2L28, S2M28, S2X28, and S2X333) blocked binding of SARS-CoV-2 S to immobilized human recombinant ACE2 as measured by biolayer interferometry (Figure 32), indicating that interference with engagement of the main entry receptor is unlikely as the mechanism of action.
Moreover, these mAbs did not promote shedding of the Si subunit from cell-surface-expressed full-length SARS-CoV-2 S (Figure 8C), suggesting that premature S
triggering does not occur, unlike what was previously shown for a SARS-CoV and several SARS-CoV-2 RBD-specific mAbs (Huo et al., 2020; Piccoli et al., 2020;
Walls et al., 2019; Wec et al., 2020; Wrobel et al., 2020a).
The neutralization potency of each of 5L28, 52M28, 52X28, and 52X333 was evaluated, in both Fab and IgG formats, against authentic SARS-CoV-2-Nlue (Figure 33). NTD-specific Fabs displayed a potency reduction, both in terms of IC50 values and maximal neutralization plateau reached (Tables 6 and 7), as compared to IgGs, possibily due to reduced avidity as observed by surface plasmon resonance (Figure 34).
Since the Fabs could still partially neutralize SARS-CoV-2, at least part of the observed neutralization activity may result from direct interaction with their respective epitopes It is possible that NTD-specific mAb-mediated neutralization further relies on steric hindrance provided by Fc positioning, similar to what was observed for anti-hcmagglutinin influenza A virus neutralizing mAbs (Xiong et al., 2015).
Potential additive, antagonistic or synergistic effects of NTD- and RBD-targeting mAbs was examined, as mAb synergy was previously described for SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 neutralization (Pinto et al., 2020; ter Meulen et al., 2006).
Cocktails of S2X333 with S309, S2EI2, or S2M11 additively prevented entry of SARS-CoV-2 S-MLV pseudotyped virus in Vero E6 cells (Figures 9A-9C). This additive effect was also observed between 52X333 and S309 using authentic SARS-CoV-2 at hours post-infection in Vero E6 cells (Figure 36). These results are consistent with RBD- and NTD-targeting mAbs mediating inhibition by distinct mechanisms and demonstrate that they could be used as cocktails for prophylaxis or therapy.
Since Fc-mediated effector functions can contribute to protection by promoting viral clearance and anti-viral immune responses in vivo (Bournazos et al., 2020;
Bournazos et al., 2016; Schafer et al., 2021; Winkler et al., 2020), the ability of site i-targeting mAbs to trigger activation of FcyRIIa and FcyRIIIa was evaluated as a proxy for Ab-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) and Ab-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), respectively. S2L28, S2M28, S2X28, and S2X333 promoted dose-dependent FcyRIIa and FcyRIIIa-mediated signaling to levels comparable to those of the highly effective mAb S309 (Pinto et al., 2020) (Figure 35). In contrast, the non-neutralizing site vi-targeting S2M24 mAb did not promote FcyR-mediated signaling, possibly due to the different orientation relative to the membrane of the effector cells in comparison to site i-specific mAbs (Figure 35). These findings suggest that besides their neutralizing activity, mAbs recognizing site i can exert a protective activity via promoting Fc-mediated effector functions.
NTD neutralizing mAbs protect against SARS-CoV-2 challenge in hamsters The S2X333 mAb was selected for a prophylactic study in a Syrian hamster model (Boudewijns et al., 2020). The mAb was administered at 4 and 1 mg/kg via intraperitoneal injection 48 hours before intranasal SARS-CoV-2 challenge.
Four days later, lungs were collected for the quantification of viral RNA and infectious virus titers. Prophylactic administration of S2X333 decreased the amount of viral RNA
detected in the lungs by ¨3 orders of magnitude, compared to hamsters receiving a control mAb (Figure 37A) and completely abrogated viral replication in the lungs of most animals at both doses tested (Figure 37B). Although all animals had similar scrum mAb concentrations within each group, no reduction in the amount of viral RNA
or infectious virus was observed for one hamster at each dose compared to those administered with a control mAb (Figures 37C-37D). Based on the aforementioned variability and mutation tolerance of the SARS-CoV-2 NTD, it may be that escape mutants were selected in these animals. Overall, these data suggest that low doses of anti-NTD mAbs provide prophylactic activity in vivo, comparable to RBD-specific mAbs S2E12 and S2M11 (Tortorici et al., 2020), consistent with their potent in vitro neutralizing activity. The protection efficacy of S2X333 (and related NTD mAbs) may be further enhanced in humans by engineering to enhance interactions with with human Fey receptors.
Discussion The data herein suggest that neutralizing NTD-targeting mAbs represent one aspect of immunity to SARS-CoV-2 and account for 5-20% of SARS-CoV-2 S-specific mAbs cloned from memory B cells isolated from the PBMCs of three COVID-19 individuals. Analysis of a large panel of neutralizing and non-neutralizing mAbs defined an antigenic map of the heavily glycosylated SARS-CoV-2 NTD, in which antigenic sites (i-vi) were identified. All the neutralizing mAbs from the three donors investigated targeted the same antigenic supersite (site i). The neutralizing mAbs described here along with the mAbs 4A8 (Chi et al., 2020), FC05 (Zhang et al., 2020) and CM25 (Voss et al., 2020), which also target this antigenic supersite, use various germline V genes to recognize overlapping epitopes, thereby providing examples of convergent solutions to NTD-targeted mAb neutralization. A highly potent NTD
mAb provides prophylactic protection against SARS-CoV-2 challenge of Syrian hamsters demonstrating that this class of mAbs can be a critical barrier to infection.
These data show that site i-targeting NTD neutralizing mAbs efficiently activate FcyRIIa and FcyRIIIa in vitro. Fc-mediated effector functions can be affected by the epitope specificity of the mAbs (Piccoli et al., 2020), highlighting the importance of the orientation of the S-bound Fe fragments for efficient FeyR cross-linking and engagement. The site vi-targeting NTD mAb S2M24 did not activate either FcyRIIa or FcyRIIIa. The contribution of Fe-mediated effector functions could further enhance the prophylactic activity of potent NTD-specific mAbs against SARS-CoV-2 in humans.
As several examples of single amino acid mutations reducing or completely abrogating neutralization by immune sera have been reported (Li et al., 2020;
Liu et al., 2020b; Weisblum et al., 2020), combinations of mAbs targeting distinct domains may reduce the likelihood of emergence of escape mutants.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
Affinity determination using Octet (BLI, biolayer interferometry) For KD determination of full-length antibodies, protein A biosensors (Pall ForteBio) were used to immobilize recombinant antibodies at 2.7 ug/m1 for 1 minute, after a hydration step for 10 minutes with Kinetics Buffer (KB). Association curves were recorded for 5min by incubating the antibody-coated sensors with SARS-CoV-Domain A analyte at 10 ug/m1 (66.6 nM) in KB for 5 minutes (association phase), followed by dissociation with KB for 9 minutes. Signals were recorded and analysed with Octet Systems Software.
ELISA binding The reactivities of mAbs with SARS-CoV Spike Si Subunit Protein (strain WH20) protein were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA).
Briefly, 96-well plates were coated with 3 ug/m1 of recombinant SARS-CoV Spike Si Subunit Protein (Sino. Biological). Wells were washed and blocked with PB
S+1%B SA
for 1 h at room temperature and were then incubated with serially diluted mAbs for 1 h at room temperature. Bound mAbs were detected by incubating alkaline phosphatase-conjugated goat anti-human IgG (Southern Biotechnology: 2040-04) for 1 h at room temperature and were developed by 1 mg/ml p-nitrophenylphosphate substrate in 0.1 M
glycine buffer (pH 10.4) for 30 min at room temperature. The optical density (OD) values were measured at a wavelength of 405 nm in an ELISA reader (Powerwave 340/96 spectrophotometer, BioTek).
Pseudoparticle neutralization assay Unless otherwise indicated, Murine leukemia virus (MLV) pseudotyped with SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein (SARS-CoV-2pp) was used. DBT cells stably transfected with ACE2 (DBT-ACE2) were used as target cells. SARS-CoV-2pp was activated with trypsin TPCK at lOug/ml. Activated SARS-CoV-2pp was added to a dilution series of antibodies (starting 5Oug/m1 final concentration per antibody, 3-fold dilution). DBT-ACE2 cells were added to the antibody-virus mixtures and incubated for 48h.
Luminescence was measured after aspirating cell culture supernatant and adding steady-GLO substrate (Promega).
In some cases, pseudoparticle neutralization assays use a VSV-based luciferase reporter pscudotyping system (Kcrafast). VSV pseudoparticles and antibody arc mixed in DMEM and allowed to incubate for 30 minutes at 37C. The infection mixture is then allowed to incubate with Vero E6 cells for lh at 37C, followed by the addition of DMEM with Pen-Strep and 10% FBS (infection mixture is not removed). The cells are incubated at 37C for 18-24 hours. Luciferase is measured using an Ensight Plate Reader (Perkin Elmer) after the addition of Bio-Glo reagent (Promega).
Expression of recombinant antibodies Recombinant antibodies were expressed in ExpiCHO cells transiently co-transfected with plasmids expressing the heavy and light chain as previously described (Stettler et al. (2016) Specificity, cross-reactivity, and function of antibodies elicited by Zika virus infection. Science, 353(6301), 823-826) Authentic SARS-CoV-2 neutralization assay Vero E6 cells cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS (VWR) and lx Penicillin/Streptomycin (Thermo Fisher Scientific) were seeded in white 96-well plates at 20,000 cells/well and attached overnight. Serial 1:4 dilutions of the monoclonal antibodies were incubated with 200 pfu of SARS-CoV-2 (isolate USA-WA1/2020, passage 3, passaged in Vero E6 cells) for 30 minutes at 37 C in a BSL-3 facility. Cell supernatant was removed and the virus-antibody mixture was added to the cells.
hours post infection, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 minutes, followed by two PBS (pH 7.4) washes and permeabilization with 0.25% Triton X-in PBS for 30 minutes. After blocking in 5% milk powder/PBS for 30 minutes, cells were incubated with a primary antibody targeting SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein (Sino Biological, cat. 40143-R001) at a 1:2000 dilution for 1 hour. After washing and incubation with a secondary Alexa647-labeled antibody mixed with 1 tg/ml Hoechst33342 for 1 hour, plates were imaged on an automated cell-imaging reader (Cytation 5, Biotek) and nucleocapsid-positive cells were counted using the manufacturer's supplied software. Data were processed using Prism software (GraphPad Prism 8.0).
Cell lines Cell lines were obtained from ATCC (FIEK293T and Vero-E6)or ThermoFisher Scientific (Expi CHO cells, FreeStyleTm 293-F cells and Expi293FTM cells).
Sample donors Samples were obtained from three SARS-CoV-2 recovered individuals (L, M
and X) under study protocols approved by the local Institutional Review Boards (Canton Ticino Ethics Committee, Switzerland, the Ethical committee of Luigi Sacco Hospital, Milan, Italy). All donors provided written informed consent for the use of blood and blood components (such as PBMCs, sera or plasma).
Samples were collected 14 and 52 days after symptoms onset for donor L and M, respectively. Blood drawn from donor X was obtained at day 36, 48, 75 and after symptoms onset Cloning and mutant generation SARS-CoV-2 NTD was sub-cloned with E. coli DHIOB Competent Cells into pCMV using primers NTD fwd and NTD rev. The resulting construct was mutated by PCR mutagenesis to generate N149Q, D253G/Y, T19A, R246A, L18F, H146Y, A222V, Y144del, S254F, K147T, C136Y, and the NTD construct with native signal peptide with and without S12P, using the eponymously named primers (Key Resources Table). The genes encoding for the Sarbecovirus S proteins tested were cloned in the phCMV1 or pcDNA.3 vectors, and the gene for the C-terminally his-tagged ectodomain of P-GD S was cloned into pCMV (Key Resources Table). Plasmid sequences were verified by Genewiz sequencing facilities (Brooks Life Sciences).
Recombinant ectodomains production All SARS-CoV-2 S spike ectodomains were produced in 500 mL cultures of FreeStyleTM 293-F cells (ThermoFisher Scientific) grown in suspension using FreeStyle 293 expression medium (ThermoFisher Scientific) at 37 C in a humidified 8% CO2 incubator rotating at 130 r.p.m. Cells grown to a density of 2.5 million cells per mL
were transfected using PEI (9 pg/mL) and pCMV::SARS-CoV-2 S ecto hexapro, pCMV::SARS-CoV-2 S ecto 2P DS, pCMV::P-GD S ecto, pCMV::SARS-CoV-2 S ecto avi, pCMV::SARS-CoV-2 S D614G ecto avi and cultivated for 4 days.
The supernatant was harvested and cells were resuspended for another three days, yielding two harvests. S ectodomains were purified from clarified supernatants using a Cobalt affinity column (Cytiva, HiTrap TALON crude), washing with 20 column volumes of 20 mM Tris-HC1 pH 8.0 and 150 mM NaCl and eluted with a gradient of 600 mM imidazole. The same protocol was followed for P-GD spike ectodomain purification, except that 25 mM sodium phosphate pH 7 and 300 mM sodium chloride were used instead of 20 mM Tris-HC1 pH 8.0 and 150 mM NaCl. At this stage, SARS-CoV-2 S with the avi tag (from pCMV::SARS-CoV-2 S ecto avi) was biotinylated (BirA biotin-protein ligase standard reaction kit, Avidity) and further purified by size exclusion chromatography (Superose6, GE Healthcare). All purified proteins were then concentrated using a 100 kDa centrifugal filter (Amicon Ultra 0.5 mL
centrifugal filters, MilliporeSigma), residual imidazole was washed away by consecutive dilutions in the centrifugal filter unit with 20 mM Tris-HC1 pH 8.0 and 150 mM NaC1, and finally concentrated to 5 mg/ml and flash frozen.
All SARS-CoV-2 S NTD domain constructs (residues 14-307) with a C-terminal 8XHis-tag were produced in 100 mL culture of Expi293FTM Cells (ThermoFisher Scientific) grown in suspension using Expi293TM Expression Medium (ThermoFisher Scientific) at 37 C in a humidified 8% CO2 incubator rotating at 130 r.p.m.) (Walls et al., 2020) (Walls et al., 2020) (Walls et al., 2020) (Walls et al., 2020) (Walls et al., 2020) (Walls et al., 2020) (Walls et al., 2020) (Walls et al., 2020) (Walls et al., 2020) (Walls et al., 2020) (Walls et al., 2020). Cells grown to a density of 3 million cells per mL were transfected using pCMV::SARS-CoV-2 S NTD derivative mutants with the ExpiFectamineTM 293 Transfection Kit (ThermoFisher Scientific) with and cultivated for five days at which point the supernatant was harvested. His-tagged NTD
domain constructs were purified from clarified supernatants using 2 ml of cobalt resin (Takara Bio TALON), washing with 50 column volumes of 20 mM HEPES-HC1 pH 8.0 and 150 mM NaCl and eluted with 600 mM imidazole. Purified protein was concentrated using a 30 kDa centrifugal filter (Amicon Ultra 0.5 mL centrifugal filters, MilliporeSigma), the imidazole was washed away by consecutive dilutions in the centrifugal filter unit with 20 mM HEPES-HC1 pH 8.0 and 150 mM NaCl, and finally concentrated to 20 mg/ml and flash frozen. For crystallization, the purified NTD was not frozen but was further purified by size exclusion chromatography (Superdex Increase 75 10/300 G, GE Healthcare), concentrated using a new 30 kDa centrifugal filter, and used immediately.
Intact mass spectrometry analysis of purified NTD constructs The purpose of intact MS was to verify the n-terminal sequence on four constructs. N-linked glycans were removed by PNGase F after overnight non-denaturing reaction at room temperature. 4ug of deglycosylated protein was used for each injection on the LC-MS system to acquire intact MS signal after separation of protease and protein by LC (Agilent PLRP-S reversed phase column). Thermo MS
(Q
Exactive Plus Orbitrap) was used to acquire intact protein mass under denaturing condition. BioPharma Finder 3.2 software was used to deconvolute the raw m/z data to protein average mass.
Isolation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), plasma and sera PBMCs were isolated from blood draw performed using tubes pre-filled with heparin, followed by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation. PBMCs were either used freshly along SARS-CoV2 Spike protein specific memory B cells sorting or stored in liquid nitrogen for later use. Sera were obtained from blood collected using tubes containing clot activator, followed by centrifugation and stored at -80 C.
B-cell isolation and recombinant mAb production Starting from freshly isolated PBMCs or upon cells thawing, B cells were enriched by staining with CD19 PE-Cy7 (BD Bioscience 341113) and incubation with anti-PE bead (Miltenyi Biotec, cat. 130- 048-801), followed by positive selection using LS columns. Enriched B cells were stained with anti-IgM, anti-IgD, anti-CD14 and anti-IgA, all PE labelled, and prefusion SARS-CoV-2 S with a biotinylated avi tag conjugated to Streptavidin Alexa-Fluor 647 (Life Technologies). SARSCoV-2 S-specific IgG+ memory B cells were sorted by flow cytometry via gating for PE
negative and Alexa-Fluor 647 positive cells. Cells were cultured for the screening of positive supernatants. Antibody VH and VL sequences were obtained by RT-PCR and mAbs were expressed as recombinant human Fab fragment or as IgG1 (G1m3 allotype) carrying the half-life extending M428L/N434S (LS) mutation in the Fc region.
ExpiCHO cells were transiently transfected with heavy and light chain expression vectors as previously described (Pinto et al., 2020).
Affinity purification was performed on AKTA Xpress FPLC (Cytiva) operated by UNICORN software version 5.11 (Build 407) using HiTrap Protein A columns (Cytiva) for full length human and hamster mAbs and CaptureSelect CHI -XL
MiniChrom columns (ThermoFisher Scientific) for Fab fragments, using PBS as mobile phase. Buffer exchange to the appropriate formulation buffer was performed with a HiTrap Fast desalting column (Cytiva). The final products were sterilized by filtration through 0.22 urn filters and stored at 4 C.
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) To determine specificity of recombinantly produced mAbs, 96 half area well-plates (Corning) were coated over-night at 4 C with of SARS-CoV-2 S, NTD or RBD
proteins prepared 1 ug/ml, 2 ug/m1 and 5 ug/m1 in PBS pH 7.2, respectively.
Plates were then blocked with PBS 1% BSA (Sigma) and subsequently incubated with mAbs serial dilutions for 1 h at room temperature. After 2 washing steps with PBS
0.05%
Tween 20 (PBS-T) (Sigma-Aldrich) goat anti-huma IgG secondary antibody (Southern Biotech) was added in incubated for 1 h at room temperature. Plates were then washed again with PBS-T and 4-NitroPhenyl phosphate (pNPP, Sigma-Aldrich) substrate added. After 30 min incubation, absorbance at 405 nm was measured by a plate reader (Biotek) and data plotted using Prism GraphPad.
For all other applications reported, the following ELISA procedure was followed: 30 ?Al of ectodomains (stabilized prefusion trimer) of S or NTD from SARS-CoV-2 were coated on 384 well ELISA plates at 1 ng/til for 16 hours at 4 C.
Plates were washed with a 405 TS Microplate Washer (BioTek Instruments) then blocked with 80 ttl SuperBlock (PBS) Blocking Buffer (Thermo Scientific) for 1 hour at 37 C. Plates were then washed and 30 pi antibodies were added to the plates at concentrations between 0.001 and 100,000 ng/ml and incubated for 1 h at 37 C. Plates were washed and then incubated with 30 tl of 1/5000 diluted goat anti-human Fc IgG-HRP
(invitrogen A18817). Plates were washed and then 30 ul Substrate T1VIB
microwell peroxidase (Seracare 5120-0083) was added for 4 min at room temperature. The colorimetric reaction was stopped by addition of 30 pi of 1 N HC1. A450 was read on a Varioskan Lux plate reader (Thermo Scientific).
MLV-based pseudovirus production and neutralization To generate SARS-CoV-2 S murine leukemia virus pseudotyped virus, HEK293T cells were seeded in 10-cm dishes in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS.
The next day cells were transfected with a SARS-CoV-2 S glycoprotein-encoding plasmid harboring the D19 C-terminal truncation (Ou et al., 2020) using the X-tremeGENE HP DNA transfection reagent (Roche) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Cells were then incubated at 37 C with 5% CO2 for 72 h.
Supernatant was harvested and cleared from cellular debris by centrifugation at 400 X g, and stored at -80 C.
For neutralization assays, Vero E6 cells were seeded into white 96-well plates (PerkinElmer) at 20,000 cells/well and cultured overnight at 37 C with 5 %
CO2 in 100 pi DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. The next day, MLV-SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus was activated with 10 Fl g/m1 TPCK treated-Trypsin (Worthington Biochem) for 1 h at 37 C. Then recombinant antibodies at various concentrations were incubated with activated pseudovirus for 1 h at 37 C. The Vero E6 cells were then washed with DMEM, and the 50 01 of pseudovirus/mAbs mixes were added and incubated for 2 h at 37 C with 5 % CO2. After incubation, 50 .1 of DMEM containing 20% FBS and 2 % penicillin/streptomycin was added and the cells were incubated 48 h at 37 C with 5 % CO2. Following these 48 h of infection, culture medium was removed from the cells and 50 litl/wellof Bio-Glo (Promega) (diluted 1:2 with PBS with Ca2+Mg2+ (Thermo Fisher) was added to the cells and incubated in the dark for 15 min before reading on a Synergy H1 Hybrid Multi-Mode plate reader (Biotek). Measurements were done in duplicate and RLU values were converted to percentage of neutralization and plotted with a nonlinear regression curve fit in Graph Prism.
Neutralization of authentic SARS-CoV-2-Nluc virus Neutralization of authentic SARS-CoV-2 by entry-inhibition assay Neutralization was determined using SARS-CoV-2-Nluc, an infectious clone of SARSCoV-2 (based on strain 2019-nCoV/USA WA1/2020) which encodes nanoluciferase in place of the viral ORF7 and demonstrated comparable growth kinetics to wildtype virus (Xie et al., 2020). Vero E6 cells were seeded into black-walled, clear-bottom 96-well plates at 2 x 104 cells/well and cultured overnight at 37 C.
The next day, 9-point 4-fold serial dilutions of mAbs were prepared in infection media (DIVLEM
+ 10% FBS). SARS-CoV-2-Nluc was diluted in infection media at a final MOI of 0.1 or 0.01 PFU/cell, added to the mAb dilutions and incubated for 30 minutes at 37 C.
Media was removed from the Vero E6 cells, mAb-virus complexes were added and incubated at 37 C for 6 or 24 hours. Media was removed from the cells, Nano-Glo luciferase substrate (Promega) was added according to the manufacturer's recommendations, incubated for 10 minutes at room temperature and the luciferase signal was quantified on a VICTOR Nivo plate reader (Perkin Elmer).
Binding and affinity determination by Biolayer Interferometry (BLI) BLI measurements were performed using an Octet Red96 (ForteBio). All reagents were prepared in kinetics buffer (PBS plus 0.01% BSA) at the indicated concentrations BLI was used to assess antibody binding affinity to SARS-CoV-2 NTD. IgG
antibodies were prepared at 2.7 1.tg/m1 and captured on pre-hydrated Protein A
biosensors (Sartorius) for 1 min. The biosensors with immobilized antibodies were moved into kinetics buffer with SARS-CoV-2 NTD (concentrations tested: 333.3, 166.6, 83.3, 41.7, 20.8, 10.4, 5.2 nM) for 5 min (i.e. association). The dissociation of the SARS-CoV-2 NTD was then recorded for 9 min in wells containing kinetics buffer.
Affinity constants were calculated using a global fit model and results were plotted using GraphPad Prism.
BLI was also used to assess antibody competition studies to define the NTD
antigenic map. Biotinylated SARS-CoV-2 S protein was prepared at 10 p.g/m1 in kinetics buffer and loaded on pre-hydrated High Precision Streptavidin SAX
Biosensors (Sartorius) for 3 min. NTD mAbs at 20 pg/ml in kinetics buffer were then sequentially added to observe binding competition and signal recorded for 5 min (or 7 min) BLI was also used to assess mAb-mediated inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 S
binding to human recombinant ACE2. Before the assay SARS-CoV2 S ectodomain trimer (5 g/ml) was incubated with tested mAbs (30 p.g/m1) or no mAb for 30 minutes at 37 C. Biotinylated recombinant human ACE2 protein (2 ug/m1) was immobilized on High Precision Streptavidin SAX Biosensors (Sartorius). Next, an association step with S/mAb complexes was performed for 10 minutes. Results were plotted using GraphPad Prism.
Affinity determination by Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) SPR binding measurements were performed using a Biaeore T200 instrument where purified avi-tagged SARS-CoV-2 S D614G ectodomain trimer was captured using anti-AviTag pAb covalently immobilized on a CM5 sensor chip. The running buffer was Cytiva HBS-EP-F pH 7.4; measurements were performed at 25 C.
Affinity/avidity determinations were run as single-cycle kinetics, with a 3-fold dilution series of mAb starting from 300 nM, and each concentration injected for 180 sec.
Double reference-subtracted data were fit to a 1:1 binding model using Biacore Evaluation software. Fit results for IgG yielded apparent equilibrium dissociation constants due to avidity. For dissociation rates that were too slow to fit, equilibrium dissociation constants are reported as an upper limit Transient Expression of Sarbecovirus S protein in ExpiCHO-S Cells.
Immediately before transfection, ExpiCHO-S cells were seeded at 6 x 106 cells cells/mL in a volume of 5 mL in a 50 mL bioreactor. Spike coding plasmids were diluted in cold OptiPRO SFM, mixed with ExpiFectamine CHO Reagent (Life Technologies) and added to the cells. Transfected cells were then incubated at with 8% CO2 with an orbital shaking speed of 120 RPM (orbital diameter of 25 mm) for 42 hours Binding to cell surface expressed Sarbecovirus S proteins by Flow Cytometry Transiently transfected ExpiCHO cells were harvested and washed two times in wash buffer (PBS 1% BSA, 2 mM EDTA). Cells were counted and distributed into round bottom 96-well plates (Corning) and incubated with the NTD antibodies at the final concentration of 5 mg/mi. Alexa Fluor647-labelled Goat Anti-Human IgG
secondary Ab (Jackson Immunoresearch) was prepared at 1.5 g/ml added onto cells after two washing steps. Cells were then washed twice and resuspended in wash buffer for data acquisition at ZE5 cytometer (Biorad).
Fusion inhibition assay Vero E6 cells were seeded in 96 well plates at 15,000 cells per well in 70 1.11 DMEM with high glucose and 2.4% FBS (Hyclone). After 16 h at 37 C with 8 %
CO2, the cells were transfected with SARS-CoV-2-S-D19_pcDNA3.1 as follows: for 10 wells, 0.57 lig plasmid SARS-CoV-2- S-D19_pcDNA3.1 were mixed with 1.68 tl X-tremeGENE HP in 30 tl OPTIMEM. After 15 minutes incubation, the mixture was diluted 1:10 in DMEM medium and 30111 was added per well. A 4-fold serial dilution mAbs was prepared and added to the cells, with a starting concentration of 20 [tg/ml.
The following day, 30 [11 5X concentrated DRAQ5 in DMEM was added per well and incubated for 2 hours at 37 C. Nine images of each well were acquired with a Cytation 5 equipment for analysis.
Measurement of Fc-effector functions mAb-dependent activation of human FcyRIIIa was performed with a bioluminescent reporter assay. ExpiCHO cells stably expressing full-length wild-type SARS-CoV-2 S (target cells) were incubated with different amounts of mAbs.

In vitro neutralization activity of the NTD-specific mAbs was evaluated using a SARS-CoV-2 S pseudotyped murine leukemia virus system (Millet and Whittaker, 2016; Walls et al., 2020c). Out of 41 mAbs, 9 are potent neutralizers (IC0 <
50 ng/mL) and 6 are moderate neutralizers (IC50 of 50-150 ng/mL) (Figure 21). The remaining 25 mAbs were non-neutralizing. Most of the mAbs plateaued around 80-90% maximum neutralization in this assay (Figures 21 and 29A-29F). Evaluation of the neutralization potency of a subset of NTD-specific mAbs measured 6 hours post-infection of Vero E6 cells infected with authentic SARS-CoV-2 virus confirmed that these mAbs did not completely block viral entry and instead plateaued at 80-90% neutralization, as opposed to the RBD-specific mAbs S309, S2E12 and S2M11 that achieved 100%
neutralization (Figure 22) (Pinto et al., 2020; Tortorici et al., 2020). When the activity was measured at 24 hours post-infection, however, all mAbs tested achieved 95-100%
neutralization with a marked enhancement of neutralization potency (Figure 23). For instance, S2X333 neutralized SARS-CoV-2 with an IC50 of 2 ng/ml and an IC90 of 12 ng/ml, on par with the potent RBD-targeting mAbs S2E12 and S2M11 (Figure 23).
Previous studies established that SARS-CoV-2 infection of Vero E6 cells proceeds through cathepsin-activated endosomal fusion, as opposed to TMPRSS2-dependent entry which is thought to occur at the level of the plasma membrane and to be the most relevant route of lung cells infection (Hoffmann et al., 2020a;
Hoffmann et al., 2020b; Hoffmann et al., 2020c) Antibodies S2L28, S2M28, S2X28 and S2X333 efficiently block cell-cell fusion (Figure 27) Definition of a SARS-CoV-2 NTD antigenic map Competition biolayer interferometry binding assays were carried out using recombinant SARS-CoV-2 S The data indicated that the mAbs recognize six distinct antigenic sites, designated i, ii, iii, iv, v and vi. Most mAbs clustered within antigenic sites i and iii, whereas sites ii, iv, v and vi each accounted for only one or a small number of mAbs from the panel (Figures 30 and 31A-31I). All potently neutralizing mAbs tested competed for binding to the NTD site i (Figures 21, 22, and 30) Mechanism of action of NTD-specific neutralizing mAbs The ability of these mAbs to block ACE2 binding was evaluated, as this step correlates with neutralization titers in SARS-CoV-2 exposed individuals (Piccoli et al., 2020). None of the site i-targeting mAbs (S2L28, S2M28, S2X28, and S2X333) blocked binding of SARS-CoV-2 S to immobilized human recombinant ACE2 as measured by biolayer interferometry (Figure 32), indicating that interference with engagement of the main entry receptor is unlikely as the mechanism of action.
Moreover, these mAbs did not promote shedding of the Si subunit from cell-surface-expressed full-length SARS-CoV-2 S (Figure 8C), suggesting that premature S
triggering does not occur, unlike what was previously shown for a SARS-CoV and several SARS-CoV-2 RBD-specific mAbs (Huo et al., 2020; Piccoli et al., 2020;
Walls et al., 2019; Wec et al., 2020; Wrobel et al., 2020a).
The neutralization potency of each of 5L28, 52M28, 52X28, and 52X333 was evaluated, in both Fab and IgG formats, against authentic SARS-CoV-2-Nlue (Figure 33). NTD-specific Fabs displayed a potency reduction, both in terms of IC50 values and maximal neutralization plateau reached (Tables 6 and 7), as compared to IgGs, possibily due to reduced avidity as observed by surface plasmon resonance (Figure 34).
Since the Fabs could still partially neutralize SARS-CoV-2, at least part of the observed neutralization activity may result from direct interaction with their respective epitopes It is possible that NTD-specific mAb-mediated neutralization further relies on steric hindrance provided by Fc positioning, similar to what was observed for anti-hcmagglutinin influenza A virus neutralizing mAbs (Xiong et al., 2015).
Potential additive, antagonistic or synergistic effects of NTD- and RBD-targeting mAbs was examined, as mAb synergy was previously described for SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 neutralization (Pinto et al., 2020; ter Meulen et al., 2006).
Cocktails of S2X333 with S309, S2EI2, or S2M11 additively prevented entry of SARS-CoV-2 S-MLV pseudotyped virus in Vero E6 cells (Figures 9A-9C). This additive effect was also observed between 52X333 and S309 using authentic SARS-CoV-2 at hours post-infection in Vero E6 cells (Figure 36). These results are consistent with RBD- and NTD-targeting mAbs mediating inhibition by distinct mechanisms and demonstrate that they could be used as cocktails for prophylaxis or therapy.
Since Fc-mediated effector functions can contribute to protection by promoting viral clearance and anti-viral immune responses in vivo (Bournazos et al., 2020;
Bournazos et al., 2016; Schafer et al., 2021; Winkler et al., 2020), the ability of site i-targeting mAbs to trigger activation of FcyRIIa and FcyRIIIa was evaluated as a proxy for Ab-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) and Ab-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), respectively. S2L28, S2M28, S2X28, and S2X333 promoted dose-dependent FcyRIIa and FcyRIIIa-mediated signaling to levels comparable to those of the highly effective mAb S309 (Pinto et al., 2020) (Figure 35). In contrast, the non-neutralizing site vi-targeting S2M24 mAb did not promote FcyR-mediated signaling, possibly due to the different orientation relative to the membrane of the effector cells in comparison to site i-specific mAbs (Figure 35). These findings suggest that besides their neutralizing activity, mAbs recognizing site i can exert a protective activity via promoting Fc-mediated effector functions.
NTD neutralizing mAbs protect against SARS-CoV-2 challenge in hamsters The S2X333 mAb was selected for a prophylactic study in a Syrian hamster model (Boudewijns et al., 2020). The mAb was administered at 4 and 1 mg/kg via intraperitoneal injection 48 hours before intranasal SARS-CoV-2 challenge.
Four days later, lungs were collected for the quantification of viral RNA and infectious virus titers. Prophylactic administration of S2X333 decreased the amount of viral RNA
detected in the lungs by ¨3 orders of magnitude, compared to hamsters receiving a control mAb (Figure 37A) and completely abrogated viral replication in the lungs of most animals at both doses tested (Figure 37B). Although all animals had similar scrum mAb concentrations within each group, no reduction in the amount of viral RNA
or infectious virus was observed for one hamster at each dose compared to those administered with a control mAb (Figures 37C-37D). Based on the aforementioned variability and mutation tolerance of the SARS-CoV-2 NTD, it may be that escape mutants were selected in these animals. Overall, these data suggest that low doses of anti-NTD mAbs provide prophylactic activity in vivo, comparable to RBD-specific mAbs S2E12 and S2M11 (Tortorici et al., 2020), consistent with their potent in vitro neutralizing activity. The protection efficacy of S2X333 (and related NTD mAbs) may be further enhanced in humans by engineering to enhance interactions with with human Fey receptors.
Discussion The data herein suggest that neutralizing NTD-targeting mAbs represent one aspect of immunity to SARS-CoV-2 and account for 5-20% of SARS-CoV-2 S-specific mAbs cloned from memory B cells isolated from the PBMCs of three COVID-19 individuals. Analysis of a large panel of neutralizing and non-neutralizing mAbs defined an antigenic map of the heavily glycosylated SARS-CoV-2 NTD, in which antigenic sites (i-vi) were identified. All the neutralizing mAbs from the three donors investigated targeted the same antigenic supersite (site i). The neutralizing mAbs described here along with the mAbs 4A8 (Chi et al., 2020), FC05 (Zhang et al., 2020) and CM25 (Voss et al., 2020), which also target this antigenic supersite, use various germline V genes to recognize overlapping epitopes, thereby providing examples of convergent solutions to NTD-targeted mAb neutralization. A highly potent NTD
mAb provides prophylactic protection against SARS-CoV-2 challenge of Syrian hamsters demonstrating that this class of mAbs can be a critical barrier to infection.
These data show that site i-targeting NTD neutralizing mAbs efficiently activate FcyRIIa and FcyRIIIa in vitro. Fc-mediated effector functions can be affected by the epitope specificity of the mAbs (Piccoli et al., 2020), highlighting the importance of the orientation of the S-bound Fe fragments for efficient FeyR cross-linking and engagement. The site vi-targeting NTD mAb S2M24 did not activate either FcyRIIa or FcyRIIIa. The contribution of Fe-mediated effector functions could further enhance the prophylactic activity of potent NTD-specific mAbs against SARS-CoV-2 in humans.
As several examples of single amino acid mutations reducing or completely abrogating neutralization by immune sera have been reported (Li et al., 2020;
Liu et al., 2020b; Weisblum et al., 2020), combinations of mAbs targeting distinct domains may reduce the likelihood of emergence of escape mutants.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
Affinity determination using Octet (BLI, biolayer interferometry) For KD determination of full-length antibodies, protein A biosensors (Pall ForteBio) were used to immobilize recombinant antibodies at 2.7 ug/m1 for 1 minute, after a hydration step for 10 minutes with Kinetics Buffer (KB). Association curves were recorded for 5min by incubating the antibody-coated sensors with SARS-CoV-Domain A analyte at 10 ug/m1 (66.6 nM) in KB for 5 minutes (association phase), followed by dissociation with KB for 9 minutes. Signals were recorded and analysed with Octet Systems Software.
ELISA binding The reactivities of mAbs with SARS-CoV Spike Si Subunit Protein (strain WH20) protein were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA).
Briefly, 96-well plates were coated with 3 ug/m1 of recombinant SARS-CoV Spike Si Subunit Protein (Sino. Biological). Wells were washed and blocked with PB
S+1%B SA
for 1 h at room temperature and were then incubated with serially diluted mAbs for 1 h at room temperature. Bound mAbs were detected by incubating alkaline phosphatase-conjugated goat anti-human IgG (Southern Biotechnology: 2040-04) for 1 h at room temperature and were developed by 1 mg/ml p-nitrophenylphosphate substrate in 0.1 M
glycine buffer (pH 10.4) for 30 min at room temperature. The optical density (OD) values were measured at a wavelength of 405 nm in an ELISA reader (Powerwave 340/96 spectrophotometer, BioTek).
Pseudoparticle neutralization assay Unless otherwise indicated, Murine leukemia virus (MLV) pseudotyped with SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein (SARS-CoV-2pp) was used. DBT cells stably transfected with ACE2 (DBT-ACE2) were used as target cells. SARS-CoV-2pp was activated with trypsin TPCK at lOug/ml. Activated SARS-CoV-2pp was added to a dilution series of antibodies (starting 5Oug/m1 final concentration per antibody, 3-fold dilution). DBT-ACE2 cells were added to the antibody-virus mixtures and incubated for 48h.
Luminescence was measured after aspirating cell culture supernatant and adding steady-GLO substrate (Promega).
In some cases, pseudoparticle neutralization assays use a VSV-based luciferase reporter pscudotyping system (Kcrafast). VSV pseudoparticles and antibody arc mixed in DMEM and allowed to incubate for 30 minutes at 37C. The infection mixture is then allowed to incubate with Vero E6 cells for lh at 37C, followed by the addition of DMEM with Pen-Strep and 10% FBS (infection mixture is not removed). The cells are incubated at 37C for 18-24 hours. Luciferase is measured using an Ensight Plate Reader (Perkin Elmer) after the addition of Bio-Glo reagent (Promega).
Expression of recombinant antibodies Recombinant antibodies were expressed in ExpiCHO cells transiently co-transfected with plasmids expressing the heavy and light chain as previously described (Stettler et al. (2016) Specificity, cross-reactivity, and function of antibodies elicited by Zika virus infection. Science, 353(6301), 823-826) Authentic SARS-CoV-2 neutralization assay Vero E6 cells cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS (VWR) and lx Penicillin/Streptomycin (Thermo Fisher Scientific) were seeded in white 96-well plates at 20,000 cells/well and attached overnight. Serial 1:4 dilutions of the monoclonal antibodies were incubated with 200 pfu of SARS-CoV-2 (isolate USA-WA1/2020, passage 3, passaged in Vero E6 cells) for 30 minutes at 37 C in a BSL-3 facility. Cell supernatant was removed and the virus-antibody mixture was added to the cells.
hours post infection, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 minutes, followed by two PBS (pH 7.4) washes and permeabilization with 0.25% Triton X-in PBS for 30 minutes. After blocking in 5% milk powder/PBS for 30 minutes, cells were incubated with a primary antibody targeting SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein (Sino Biological, cat. 40143-R001) at a 1:2000 dilution for 1 hour. After washing and incubation with a secondary Alexa647-labeled antibody mixed with 1 tg/ml Hoechst33342 for 1 hour, plates were imaged on an automated cell-imaging reader (Cytation 5, Biotek) and nucleocapsid-positive cells were counted using the manufacturer's supplied software. Data were processed using Prism software (GraphPad Prism 8.0).
Cell lines Cell lines were obtained from ATCC (FIEK293T and Vero-E6)or ThermoFisher Scientific (Expi CHO cells, FreeStyleTm 293-F cells and Expi293FTM cells).
Sample donors Samples were obtained from three SARS-CoV-2 recovered individuals (L, M
and X) under study protocols approved by the local Institutional Review Boards (Canton Ticino Ethics Committee, Switzerland, the Ethical committee of Luigi Sacco Hospital, Milan, Italy). All donors provided written informed consent for the use of blood and blood components (such as PBMCs, sera or plasma).
Samples were collected 14 and 52 days after symptoms onset for donor L and M, respectively. Blood drawn from donor X was obtained at day 36, 48, 75 and after symptoms onset Cloning and mutant generation SARS-CoV-2 NTD was sub-cloned with E. coli DHIOB Competent Cells into pCMV using primers NTD fwd and NTD rev. The resulting construct was mutated by PCR mutagenesis to generate N149Q, D253G/Y, T19A, R246A, L18F, H146Y, A222V, Y144del, S254F, K147T, C136Y, and the NTD construct with native signal peptide with and without S12P, using the eponymously named primers (Key Resources Table). The genes encoding for the Sarbecovirus S proteins tested were cloned in the phCMV1 or pcDNA.3 vectors, and the gene for the C-terminally his-tagged ectodomain of P-GD S was cloned into pCMV (Key Resources Table). Plasmid sequences were verified by Genewiz sequencing facilities (Brooks Life Sciences).
Recombinant ectodomains production All SARS-CoV-2 S spike ectodomains were produced in 500 mL cultures of FreeStyleTM 293-F cells (ThermoFisher Scientific) grown in suspension using FreeStyle 293 expression medium (ThermoFisher Scientific) at 37 C in a humidified 8% CO2 incubator rotating at 130 r.p.m. Cells grown to a density of 2.5 million cells per mL
were transfected using PEI (9 pg/mL) and pCMV::SARS-CoV-2 S ecto hexapro, pCMV::SARS-CoV-2 S ecto 2P DS, pCMV::P-GD S ecto, pCMV::SARS-CoV-2 S ecto avi, pCMV::SARS-CoV-2 S D614G ecto avi and cultivated for 4 days.
The supernatant was harvested and cells were resuspended for another three days, yielding two harvests. S ectodomains were purified from clarified supernatants using a Cobalt affinity column (Cytiva, HiTrap TALON crude), washing with 20 column volumes of 20 mM Tris-HC1 pH 8.0 and 150 mM NaCl and eluted with a gradient of 600 mM imidazole. The same protocol was followed for P-GD spike ectodomain purification, except that 25 mM sodium phosphate pH 7 and 300 mM sodium chloride were used instead of 20 mM Tris-HC1 pH 8.0 and 150 mM NaCl. At this stage, SARS-CoV-2 S with the avi tag (from pCMV::SARS-CoV-2 S ecto avi) was biotinylated (BirA biotin-protein ligase standard reaction kit, Avidity) and further purified by size exclusion chromatography (Superose6, GE Healthcare). All purified proteins were then concentrated using a 100 kDa centrifugal filter (Amicon Ultra 0.5 mL
centrifugal filters, MilliporeSigma), residual imidazole was washed away by consecutive dilutions in the centrifugal filter unit with 20 mM Tris-HC1 pH 8.0 and 150 mM NaC1, and finally concentrated to 5 mg/ml and flash frozen.
All SARS-CoV-2 S NTD domain constructs (residues 14-307) with a C-terminal 8XHis-tag were produced in 100 mL culture of Expi293FTM Cells (ThermoFisher Scientific) grown in suspension using Expi293TM Expression Medium (ThermoFisher Scientific) at 37 C in a humidified 8% CO2 incubator rotating at 130 r.p.m.) (Walls et al., 2020) (Walls et al., 2020) (Walls et al., 2020) (Walls et al., 2020) (Walls et al., 2020) (Walls et al., 2020) (Walls et al., 2020) (Walls et al., 2020) (Walls et al., 2020) (Walls et al., 2020) (Walls et al., 2020). Cells grown to a density of 3 million cells per mL were transfected using pCMV::SARS-CoV-2 S NTD derivative mutants with the ExpiFectamineTM 293 Transfection Kit (ThermoFisher Scientific) with and cultivated for five days at which point the supernatant was harvested. His-tagged NTD
domain constructs were purified from clarified supernatants using 2 ml of cobalt resin (Takara Bio TALON), washing with 50 column volumes of 20 mM HEPES-HC1 pH 8.0 and 150 mM NaCl and eluted with 600 mM imidazole. Purified protein was concentrated using a 30 kDa centrifugal filter (Amicon Ultra 0.5 mL centrifugal filters, MilliporeSigma), the imidazole was washed away by consecutive dilutions in the centrifugal filter unit with 20 mM HEPES-HC1 pH 8.0 and 150 mM NaCl, and finally concentrated to 20 mg/ml and flash frozen. For crystallization, the purified NTD was not frozen but was further purified by size exclusion chromatography (Superdex Increase 75 10/300 G, GE Healthcare), concentrated using a new 30 kDa centrifugal filter, and used immediately.
Intact mass spectrometry analysis of purified NTD constructs The purpose of intact MS was to verify the n-terminal sequence on four constructs. N-linked glycans were removed by PNGase F after overnight non-denaturing reaction at room temperature. 4ug of deglycosylated protein was used for each injection on the LC-MS system to acquire intact MS signal after separation of protease and protein by LC (Agilent PLRP-S reversed phase column). Thermo MS
(Q
Exactive Plus Orbitrap) was used to acquire intact protein mass under denaturing condition. BioPharma Finder 3.2 software was used to deconvolute the raw m/z data to protein average mass.
Isolation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), plasma and sera PBMCs were isolated from blood draw performed using tubes pre-filled with heparin, followed by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation. PBMCs were either used freshly along SARS-CoV2 Spike protein specific memory B cells sorting or stored in liquid nitrogen for later use. Sera were obtained from blood collected using tubes containing clot activator, followed by centrifugation and stored at -80 C.
B-cell isolation and recombinant mAb production Starting from freshly isolated PBMCs or upon cells thawing, B cells were enriched by staining with CD19 PE-Cy7 (BD Bioscience 341113) and incubation with anti-PE bead (Miltenyi Biotec, cat. 130- 048-801), followed by positive selection using LS columns. Enriched B cells were stained with anti-IgM, anti-IgD, anti-CD14 and anti-IgA, all PE labelled, and prefusion SARS-CoV-2 S with a biotinylated avi tag conjugated to Streptavidin Alexa-Fluor 647 (Life Technologies). SARSCoV-2 S-specific IgG+ memory B cells were sorted by flow cytometry via gating for PE
negative and Alexa-Fluor 647 positive cells. Cells were cultured for the screening of positive supernatants. Antibody VH and VL sequences were obtained by RT-PCR and mAbs were expressed as recombinant human Fab fragment or as IgG1 (G1m3 allotype) carrying the half-life extending M428L/N434S (LS) mutation in the Fc region.
ExpiCHO cells were transiently transfected with heavy and light chain expression vectors as previously described (Pinto et al., 2020).

Tween 20 (PBS-T) (Sigma-Aldrich) goat anti-huma IgG secondary antibody (Southern Biotech) was added in incubated for 1 h at room temperature. Plates were then washed again with PBS-T and 4-NitroPhenyl phosphate (pNPP, Sigma-Aldrich) substrate added. After 30 min incubation, absorbance at 405 nm was measured by a plate reader (Biotek) and data plotted using Prism GraphPad.
For all other applications reported, the following ELISA procedure was followed: 30 ?Al of ectodomains (stabilized prefusion trimer) of S or NTD from SARS-CoV-2 were coated on 384 well ELISA plates at 1 ng/til for 16 hours at 4 C.
Plates were washed with a 405 TS Microplate Washer (BioTek Instruments) then blocked with 80 ttl SuperBlock (PBS) Blocking Buffer (Thermo Scientific) for 1 hour at 37 C.

The next day cells were transfected with a SARS-CoV-2 S glycoprotein-encoding plasmid harboring the D19 C-terminal truncation (Ou et al., 2020) using the X-tremeGENE HP DNA transfection reagent (Roche) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Cells were then incubated at 37 C with 5% CO2 for 72 h.
Supernatant was harvested and cleared from cellular debris by centrifugation at 400 X g, and stored at -80 C.
For neutralization assays, Vero E6 cells were seeded into white 96-well plates (PerkinElmer) at 20,000 cells/well and cultured overnight at 37 C with 5 %
CO2 in 100 pi DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. The next day, MLV-SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus was activated with 10 Fl g/m1 TPCK treated-Trypsin (Worthington Biochem) for 1 h at 37 C. Then recombinant antibodies at various concentrations were incubated with activated pseudovirus for 1 h at 37 C. The Vero E6 cells were then washed with DMEM, and the 50 01 of pseudovirus/mAbs mixes were added and incubated for 2 h at 37 C with 5 % CO2. After incubation, 50 .1 of DMEM containing 20% FBS and 2 % penicillin/streptomycin was added and the cells were incubated 48 h at 37 C with 5 % CO2. Following these 48 h of infection, culture medium was removed from the cells and 50 litl/wellof Bio-Glo (Promega) (diluted 1:2 with PBS with Ca2+Mg2+ (Thermo Fisher) was added to the cells and incubated in the dark for 15 min before reading on a Synergy H1 Hybrid Multi-Mode plate reader (Biotek).

Media was removed from the Vero E6 cells, mAb-virus complexes were added and incubated at 37 C for 6 or 24 hours. Media was removed from the cells, Nano-Glo luciferase substrate (Promega) was added according to the manufacturer's recommendations, incubated for 10 minutes at room temperature and the luciferase signal was quantified on a VICTOR Nivo plate reader (Perkin Elmer).
Binding and affinity determination by Biolayer Interferometry (BLI) BLI measurements were performed using an Octet Red96 (ForteBio). All reagents were prepared in kinetics buffer (PBS plus 0.01% BSA) at the indicated concentrations BLI was used to assess antibody binding affinity to SARS-CoV-2 NTD. IgG
antibodies were prepared at 2.7 1.tg/m1 and captured on pre-hydrated Protein A
biosensors (Sartorius) for 1 min. The biosensors with immobilized antibodies were moved into kinetics buffer with SARS-CoV-2 NTD (concentrations tested: 333.3, 166.6, 83.3, 41.7, 20.8, 10.4, 5.2 nM) for 5 min (i.e. association). The dissociation of the SARS-CoV-2 NTD was then recorded for 9 min in wells containing kinetics buffer.
Affinity constants were calculated using a global fit model and results were plotted using GraphPad Prism.
BLI was also used to assess antibody competition studies to define the NTD
antigenic map. Biotinylated SARS-CoV-2 S protein was prepared at 10 p.g/m1 in kinetics buffer and loaded on pre-hydrated High Precision Streptavidin SAX
Biosensors (Sartorius) for 3 min. NTD mAbs at 20 pg/ml in kinetics buffer were then sequentially added to observe binding competition and signal recorded for 5 min (or 7 min) BLI was also used to assess mAb-mediated inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 S
binding to human recombinant ACE2. Before the assay SARS-CoV2 S ectodomain trimer (5 g/ml) was incubated with tested mAbs (30 p.g/m1) or no mAb for 30 minutes at 37 C. Biotinylated recombinant human ACE2 protein (2 ug/m1) was immobilized on High Precision Streptavidin SAX Biosensors (Sartorius). Next, an association step with S/mAb complexes was performed for 10 minutes. Results were plotted using GraphPad Prism.
Affinity determination by Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) SPR binding measurements were performed using a Biaeore T200 instrument where purified avi-tagged SARS-CoV-2 S D614G ectodomain trimer was captured using anti-AviTag pAb covalently immobilized on a CM5 sensor chip. The running buffer was Cytiva HBS-EP-F pH 7.4; measurements were performed at 25 C.

SARS2 D614G Spike Production and biotinylation Prefusion-stabilized SARS2 D614G spike (comprising amino acid sequence Q14 to K1211) with a C-terminal TEV cleavage site, T4 bacteriophage fibritin foldon, 8x His-, Avi- and EPEA-tag was transfected into HEK293 Freestyle cells, using 293fectin as a transfection reagent. Cells were left to produce protein for three days at 37 C. Afterwards, supernatant was harvested by centrifuging cells for 30 minutes at 500 xg, followed by another spin for 30 minutes at 4000 xg. Cell culture supernatant was filtered through a 0.2 um filter and loaded onto a 5 mL C-tag affinity matrix column, pre-equilibrated with 50 mM Tris pH 8 and 200 mM NaCl. SARS2 D614G spike was eluted, using 10 column volumes of 100 mM Tris, 200 mM NaCl and 3.8 mM SEPEA

SEC fractions corresponding to monodisperse SARS2 D614G spike were collected and flash frozen in liquid nitrogen for storage at -80 C. Purified D614G spike protein was biotinylated using BirA500 biotinylation kit from Avidity. To 50 ug of spike protein, 5 ug of BirA, and 11 uL of BiomixA and BiomixB was added.
Final spike protein concentration during the biotinylation reaction was ¨1 uM.
The reaction was left to proceed for 16 hours at 4 C. Then, protein was desalted using two Zeba spin columns pre-equilibrated with lx PBS pH 7.4.
_How cytometry analysis for DC-,S'IGN, L-SIGN, ,SYGLEC1 and ACE-2 HEK 293T cells expressing DC-SIGN, L-SIGN, SIGLEC1 or ACE2 were resuspended at 4x106 cells/mL and 100 pL per well were seeded onto V-bottom 96-well plates (Corning, 3894). The plate was centrifuged at 2,000 rpm for 5 minutes and washed with PBS (pH 7.4). The cells were resuspended in 200 p1_, of PBS
containing Ghost violet 510 viability dye (Cell Signaling, cat. 13-0870-T100, 1:1,000 dilution), incubated for 15 minutes on ice and then washed. The cells were resuspended in 100 pL

845002), rabbit anti-DC-SIGN (Cell Signaling, cat. 13193), mouse anti-SIGLEC1 (Biologend, cat. 346002) or goat anti-ACE2 (R&D Systems, cat. AF933). After 1 h incubation on ice, the cells were washed two times and resuspended in FACS
buffer containing the Alexa Fluor-488-labeled secondary antibodies at a 1:200 dilution: goat anti-mouse (Invitrogen cat. A11001), goat anti-rabbit (Invitrogen cat. Al1008) or donkey anti-goat (Invitrogen cat. A11055). After incubation for 45 min on ice, the cells were washed three times with 200 L of FACS buffer and fixed with 2004, of 4%
PFA
(Alfa Aesar) for 15 mins at room temperature. Cells were washed three times, resuspended in 200pL of FACS buffer and analyzed by flow cytometry using the CytoFLEX flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter).
Flow cytometry of SARS-CoV-2 Spike and RBD binding to cells Biotinylated SARS-CoV-2 Spike D6 14G protein (Spikebiotin, in-house generated) or the biotinylated SARS-CoV-2 Spike receptor-binding domain (RBDbiotin, Sino Biological, 40592-V08B) were incubated with Alexa Fluor 647 streptavidin (AF647-strep, Invitrogen, S21374) at a 1:20 ratio by volume for 20 min at room temperature. The labeled proteins were then stored at 4 C until further use. Cells were dissociated with TrpLE Express (Gibco, 12605-010) and 105 cells were transferred to each well of a 96-well V bottom plate (Corning, 3894). Cells were washed twice in flow cytometry buffer (2% FBS in PBS (w/o Ca/Mg)) and stained with Spikebiotin-AF647-strep at a final concentration of 20 [tg/m1 or RBDbiotin-AF647-strep at a final concentration of 7.5 g/ml for lh on ice. Stained cells were washed twice with flow cytometry buffer, resuspended in I% PFA (Electron Microscopy Sciences, 15714-S) and analyzed with the Cytoflex LX (Beckman Coulter).
Recombinant expression of SARS-CoV-2-specific mAbs.
Human mAbs were isolated from plasma cells or memory B cells of SARS-CoV-2 immune donors, as previously described. Recombinant antibodies were expressed in ExpiCHO cells at 37 C and 8% CO2. Cells were transfected using ExpiFectamine. Transfected cells were supplemented 1 day after transfection with ExpiCHO Feed and ExpiFectamine CHO Enhancer. Cell culture supernatant was collected eight days after transfection and filtered through a 0.2 p.m filter.
Recombinant antibodies were affinity purified on an AKTA xpress FPLC device using 5 mL
HiTrapTm MabSelectTM PrismA columns followed by buffer exchange to Histidine buffer (20 mM Histidine, 8% sucrose, pH 6) using HiPrep 26/10 desalting columns SARS-CoV-2 infection model in hamster Virus preparation The SARS-CoV-2 strain used in this study, BetaCov/Belgium/GTM-03021/2020 (EPI ISL 109 40797612020-02-03), was recovered from a nasopharyngeal swab taken from an RT-qPCR confirmed asymptomatic patient who returned from Wuhan, China in February 2020. A close relation with the prototypic Wuhan-Hu-1 201 9-nCoV
(GenBank accession 112 number MN908947.3) strain was confirmed by phylogenetic analysis. Infectious virus was isolated by serial passaging on HuH7 and Vero E6 cells, passage 6 virus was used for the study described here. The titer of the virus stock was determined by end-point dilution on Vero E6 cells by the Reed and Muench method.
Cells Vero E6 cells (African green monkey kidney, ATCC CRL-1586) were cultured in minimal essential medium (Gibco) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Integro), 1% L- glutamine (Gibco) and 1% bicarbonate (Gibco). End-point titrations were performed with medium containing 2% fetal bovine serum instead of 10%.
SARS-Co V-2 infection model in hamsters The hamster infection model of SARS-CoV-2 has been described before. The specific study design is shown in the schematic below. In brief, wild-type Syrian Golden hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus) were purchased from Janvier Laboratories and were housed per two in ventilated isolator cages (IsoCage N Biocontainment System, Tecniplast) with ad libitum access to food and water and cage enrichment (wood block).
The animals were acclimated for 4 days prior to study start. Housing conditions and experimental procedures were approved by the ethics committee of animal experimentation of KU Leuven (license P065- 2020). Female 6-8 week old hamsters were anesthetized with ketamine/xylazine/atropine and inoculated intranasally with 50 pL containing 2x106 TCID50 SARS-CoV-2 (day 0).
Treatment regimen Animals were prophylactically treated 48h before infection by intraperitoneal administration (i.p.) and monitored for appearance, behavior, and weight. At day 4 post infection (p.i.), hamsters were euthanized by i.p. injection of 500 uL
Dolethal (200 mg/mL sodium pentobarbital, Vetoquinol SA). Lungs were collected and viral RNA
and infectious virus were quantified by RT-qPCR and end-point virus titration, respectively. Blood samples were collected before infection for PK analysis.
SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR
Collected lung tissues were homogenized using bead disruption (Precellys) in RLT buffer (RNeasyMinikit, Qiagen)and centrifuged (10.000 rpm, 5 min) to pellet the cell debris. RNA was extracted according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Of 50 uL eluate, 4 uL was used as a template in RT-qPCR reactions. RT-qPCR was performed on a LightCycler96 platform (Roche) using the iTaq Universal Probes One-Step RT-qPCR kit (BioRad) with N2 primers and probes targeting the nucleocapsid.
Standards of SARS-CoV-2 cDNA (IDT) were used to express viral genome copies per mg tissue or per mL serum.
End-point virus titrations Lung tissues were homogenized using bead disruption (Precellys) in 350 uL
minimal essential medium and centrifuged (10,000 rpm, 5min, 4 C) to pellet the cell debris. To quantify infectious SARS-CoV-2 particles, endpoint titrations were performed on confluent Vero E6 cells in 96- well plates. Viral titers were calculated by the Reed and Muench method using the Lindenbach calculator and were expressed as 50% tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50) per mg tissue.
Histology For histological examination, the lungs were fixed overnight in 4%
formaldehyde and embedded in paraffin. Tissue sections (5 prn) were analyzed after staining with hematoxylin and eosin and scored blindly for lung damage by an expert pathologist. The scored parameters, to which a cumulative score of 1 to 3 was attributed, were the following: congestion, intra-alveolar hemorrhagic, apoptotic bodies in bronchus wall, necrotizing bronchiolitis, perivascular edema, bronchopneumonia, perivascular inflammation, peribronchial inflammation and vasculitis.
Binding of immunocomplexes to hamster monocytes Immunocomplexes (IC) were generated by complexing S309 mAb (hamster IgG, either wt or N297A) with a biotinylated anti-idiotype fab fragment and Alexa-488-streptavidin, using a precise molar ratio (4:8:1, respectively). Pre-generated fluorescent IC were serially diluted incubated at 4 C for 3 hrs with freshly revitalized hamster splenocytes, obtained from a naïve animal. Cellular binding was then evaluated by cytometry upon exclusion of dead cells and physical gating on monocyte population.
Results are expressed as Alexa-488 mean florescent intensity of the entire monocyte population.
Bionyarmatic analyses Processed Human Lung Cell Atlas (HLCA) data and cell-type annotations were downloaded from Github (github.com/krasnowlab/HLCA). Processed single-cell transcriptome data and annotation of lung epithelial and immune cells from SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals were downloaded from NCBI GEO database (ID:
GSE158055) and Github (github.com/zhangzlab/covid balf). Available sequence data from the second single-cell transcriptomics study by Liao et al. were downloaded from NCBI SRA (ID: PRJNA608742) for inspection of reads corresponding to viral RNA.
The proportion of sgRNA relative to genomic RNA was estimated by counting TRS-containing reads supporting a leader-TRS junction. Criteria and methods for detection of leader-TRS junction reads were adapted from Alexandersen et al. The viral genome reference and TRS annotation was based on Wuhan-Hu-1 NC 045512.2/MN908947.
Only 2 samples from individuals with severe COVID-19 had detectable leader-TRS
junction reads (SRR11181958, SRR11181959).
ACE2-INDEPENDENT MECHANISM OF SARS-CoV2 NEUTRALIZATION
In the following experiments, unless otherwise indicated, S309 antibody (VH of SEQ ID NO.442, VL of SEQ ID NO. :446) was expressed as recombinant IgG1 with M428L and N434S Fe mutations. In certain experiments, antibody S2X333 (VH of SEQ ID NO.52, VL of SEQ ID NO. :56) and/or 52E12 (VH of SEQ ID NO.:450, VL of SFQ TD NO .454) (also expressed as rTgG1) were tested Other tested antibodies included S2M11 (VH of SEQ ID NO.:458, VL of SEQ ID NO.462), S2D106, and 52X58 (Starr et al, Nature 597:97-102 (2021), which antibodies are incorporated herein by reference).
The effect of ACE2 overexpression on S309 antibody neutralization of infection was investigated. Vero E6 or Vero E6-TMPRSS2 cells were infected with SARS-CoV-2 (isolate USA-WA1/2020) at MOI 0.01 in the presence of S309 (10 g/ml). Cells were fixed 24h post infection, viral nucleocapsid protein was immunostained and quantified. Nucleocapsid staining was effectively absent in antibody-treated cells.
S309 had an IC50 (ng/mL) in Vero E6 cells of 65 and in Vero E6-TMPRSS2 of 91 (data not shown).
A panel of 7 cell lines (HeLa, 293T (wt), Vero E6, Huh7, 293T ACE2, MRC 5-ACE2-IMPRSS2, A549-ACE2-IMPRSS2 clone 5, A549-ACE2-IMPRSS2 clone 10) were infected with SARS-CoV-2-Nluc or VSV pseudotyped with the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in the presence of S309. Luciferase signal was quantified 24h post infection. S309 maximum neutralization values were as shown in Table 8.

A549-ACE2-TMPRSS2 89% 65%
clone 5 A549-ACE2-TMPRS S2 81% 42%
clone 10 Binding of purified, fluorescently-labeled SARS-CoV-2 spike protein binding to these cell lines was quantified by flow cytometry. HeLa and 239T WT cells had he lowest MFIs, followed by Huh7 and VeroE6 cells. 293T ACE2 cells (highest), MRC
ACE2-TMPRSS2 (third-highest), A549-ACE2-TMPRSS2 clone 5 (fourth-highest), and A549-ACE2-TMPRSS2 clone 10 (second-highest) had higher MFIs. Correlation analysis between spike binding maximum neutralization potential of S309 was determined; S309 Spearman correlation values were: r = -0.94 for both viral models. p = 0.017.
To further characterize SARS-CoV-2-susceptible cell lines, the seven cell lines described above were incubated with purified, fluorescently-labeled SARS-CoV-2 spike protein or RBD protein and protein binding was quantified by flow cytometry. In descending order of MFI, the cell lines were: A549-ACE2-TMPRSS2 clone 10; 293T
ACE2; MRC 5-ACE2-TMPRSS2; A549-ACE2-TMPRSS2 clone 5; Vero E6; Huh7;
293T (wt), and HeLa.
Selected lectins and published receptor candidates were screened using HEK293T cells infected with SARS-CoV-2 VSV pseudoviruses. ACE2, DC-SIGN, L-SIGN, and SIGLEC-1 gave the highest signals. ACE2 provided a signal of approximately 105 relative luminescence units (RLUs), and DC-SIGN, SIGLEC-1, and L-SIGN had signals of approximately 104RLUs. All other lectins/candidates tested gave signals of approximately 102¨ 103 RLUs.
HEK 293T, HeLa and MRCS cells were transiently transduced to overexpress DC-SIGN, L-SIGN, SIGLEC1 or ACE2 and infected with SARS-CoV-2 VSV
pseudoviruses. Uninfected cells and untransduced cells were included as controls. In 1-1EK2931 cells, ACE2, DC-SIGN, SIGLEC-1, and L-SIGN all provided substantial increases in infection. In HeLa and MRC5 cells, only ACE2 increased infection.
Stable HEK293T cell lines overexpressing DC-SIGN, L-SIGN, SIGLEC-1 or ACE2 were infected with authentic SARS-CoV-2 (MOI 0.1), fixed and immunostained at 24 hours for the SARS-CoV-2 nucleoprotein. Wild-type cells (infected and uninfected) were used as controls. Increased staining was observed in cells overexpressing DC-SIGN, L-SIGN, or SIGLEC-1, and staining was significantly increased in cells overexpressing ACE2.
Stable cell lines were infected with SARS-CoV-2-Nluc and luciferase levels were quantified at 24 hours. In ascending order of RLUs. uninfected (approx.
RLUs); parental 293T (approx. 104RLUs); DC-SIGN (approx. 105RLUs); L-SIGN
(approx. 105RLUs), SIGLEC-1 (approx. 105-106RLUs), ACE2 (>107 RLUs).
Stable cell lines were incubated with different concentration of anti-SIGLEC1 mAb (clone 7-239) and infected with SARS-CoV-2-Nluc. Infection as a percentage of untreated cells remained near to exceeded 100% in 293T cells expressing DC-SIGN, L-SIGN, or ACE2, but dropped to below 50% (0.2 1.1g/mL anti-SIGLEC) to close to 0 (1 Kg/mL or 5 Kg/mL anti-SIGLEC) in 293T cells expressing SIGLEC- I .
Single cell expression levels of selected potential SARS-CoV-2 (co)receptor candidates were determined in different lung cell types derived from the Human Lung Cell Atlas (nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2922-4). DC-SIGN, L-SIGN and SIGLEC-1 are expressed in a variety of cell types in the lung at levels similar to or even higher than ACE2.
Binding of antibodies targeting DC-/L-SIGN, DC-SIGN, SIGLEC1 or ACE2 on HEK293T cells stably over-expressing the respective attachment receptor was analyzed by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence analysis. HEK 293T cells over-expressing the respective attachment receptors were infected with VSV pseudotyped with SARS-COV-2 wildtype spike or spike bearing mutations of the B1.1.7 lineage.
Luminescence was analyzed one day post infection. Infection was increased in cells expressing the attachment receptors. Infection by VSV pseudotyped with either spike was similar for each test group. Cells expressing ACE2 gave the highest luminescence signal.
Vero E6 cells, in vitro differentiated moDCs or PBMCs were infected with SARS-CoV-2 at MOI 0.01. At 24h post infection, cells were fixed, immunostained for viral nucleocapsid protein and infected cells were quantified. Only VeroE6 cells showed infection (approximately 7% of cells). Supernatant of the infected cells was taken at 24, 48 and 72h and infectious viral titer was quantified by FFU assay on Vero E6 cells.
Major cell types with detectable SARS-CoV-2 genome in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and sputum of severe COVID-19 patients were assessed. A t-SNE
plot was generated, and the count of each SARS-CoV-2+ cell type was determined (total n=3,085 cells from 8 subjects in Ken et al. Cell 2021). Cell types were T, NK, plasma, neutrophil, macrophage, ciliated, squamous, and secretory. Expression of ACE2, DC-SIGN, L-SIGN, SIGLEC-1, and combinations of these was assessed for each cell type.
ACE2, DC-SIGN (CD209), L-SIGN (CLEC4M), SIGLEC1 transcript counts were correlated with SARS-CoV-2 RNA counts in macrophages and in secretory cells.
Correlation was based on counts (before log transformation), from Ren et al.
Cell 2021.
Representative data showing expression of receptors in stable HEK293T cell lines are shown in Figure 40. Cell lines were generated to overexpress DC-SIGN, L-SIGN or ACE2 by transducing HEK293T cells with lentivirus encoding the transgene, and immunofluorescence assays were performed to assess transgene expression.
Representative data showing the ability of VSV pseudovirus expressing SARS-CoV-2 S protein with luciferase reporter to infect the HEK293T cells (using a luminescence assay) are shown in Figure 41; expression of DC-SIGN or L-SIGN
increased pseudovirus infection levels by over 10-fold compared to infection of WT
HEK293T cells, and expression of ACE2 increased pseudovirus infection levels by over 100-fold compared to infection of WT HEK293T cells.
Neutralizing activity of mAb S309 against the VSV pseudovirus was assessed in the engineered HEK293T cells. S309 fully neutralized infection via DC-SIGN and L-SIGN, and to a lesser extent, ACE2.
The ability of live SARS-CoV-2 with luciferase reporter to infect the HEK293T
cells was examined using a luminescence assay. expression of DC-SIGN or L-SIGN
increased live virus infection levels by over 3-fold compared to infection of WT
1-1EK2931 cells, and expression of ACE2 increased live virus infection levels by over 100-fold compared to infection of WT HEK293T cells.
Neutralizing activity of mAb S309 against the VSV pseudovirus was assessed in the engineered HEK293T cells. S309 fully neutralized infection via DC-SIGN and L-SIGN, and neutralized infection via ACE2 to a lesser extent.
Experiments were performed to investigate whether S309 antibody can neutralize entry of SARS-CoV-2 via SIGLEC-1. Briefly, stable cell HEK293T
lines were generated as described above to overexpress DC-SIGN/L-SIGN, DC-SIGN, SIGLEC-1, or ACE2. Expression of DC-SIGN, L-SIGN, or SIGLEC increased live virus infection levels by over 10-fold compared to infection of WT HEK293T
cells, and expression of ACE2 increased pseudovirus infection levels by over 100-fold compared to infection of WT HEK293T cells. S309 fully neutralized infection via DC-SIGN, L-SIGN, and SIGLEC-1.
Expression of DC-SIGN (CD209) and other cell surface receptor proteins including SIGLEC-1 and other SIGLECs was determined on a variety of cell types.
Data are summarized in Figure 45.
Further experiments were performed to investigate the function(s) of DC-SIGN, L-SIGN, and SIGLEC-1 in SARS-CoV-2 infection. In one set of experiments, HEK293T cells stably expressing DC-SIGN, L-SIGN, SIGLEC-1 or ACE2 were infected with live SARS-CoV-2 Nluc at three different multiplicities of infection (MOI): 0.01, 0.1, and 1). Infection was determined using relative luminescence units and compared to infection in HEK293T cells (parental) At the lowest MOT
tested, an increase of infection in cells expressing DC-SIGN, L-SIGN, or SIGLEC was observed.
At the highest MOI tested, infection was not further increased versus parental by expression of DC-SIGN, L-SIGN, or SIGLEC. These data indicate that the parental 293T cells are susceptible to infection by SARS-CoV-2 and L-SIGN, DC-SIGN, and SIGLEC-1 enhance infection levels but do not function as primary receptors for infection.
In another set of experiments, 293T cells, HeLa cells, and MRCS cells were transiently transduced with lentivirus encoding DC-SIGN, L-SIGN, SIGLEC-1 or ACE2 and infected with VSV pseudovirus three days after transduction. While the 293T cells showed a low level of susceptibility (compare uninfected with untransduced), HeLa and MRCS cells were completely refractory to the virus.
The low level of infection in 293T cells can be increased by expression of L-SIGN, DC-SIGN, or SIGLEC-1, consistent with a role for these proteins as as attachment factors. The HeLa and MRCS cells remained refractory to infection even after expression of L-SIGN, DC-SIGN, or SIGLEC-1, and only become susceptible after expression of ACE2. These data indicate that L-SIGN, DC-SIGN, and SIGLEC-1 are not primary receptors for SARS-CoV-2.

Signaling was quantified by the luciferase signal produced as a result of NFAT
pathway activation. Luminescence was measured after 20 hours of incubation at 37 C
with 5%
CO2 with a luminometer using the Bio-Glo-TM Luciferase Assay Reagent according to the manufacturer's instructions (Promega, Cat. Nr.: G9798, G7018 and G9995).
Cell-surface mAb-mediated Si shedding CHO cells stably expressing wild-type SARS-CoV-2 S were resuspended in wash buffer (PBS 1 % BSA, 2 mM EDTA) and treated with 10 l.t.g/mL TPCK-trypsin (Worthington Biochem) for 30 min at 37 C. Cells were then washed and distributed into round bottom 96-well plates (90,000 cells/well). MAbs were added to cells at 15 mg/mL final concentration for 180 min at 37 C. Cells were collected at different time points (5, 30, 60, 120 and 180), washed with wash buffer at 4 C, and incubated with 1.5 mg/mL secondary goat anti-human IgG, Fc fragment specific (Jackson ImmunoResearch) on ice for 20 min. Cells were washed and resuspended in wash buffer and analyzed with ZE5 FACS (Bio-rad).
Generation of stable overexpression cell lines Lentiviruses were generated by co-transfection of Lenti-X 293T cells (Takara) with lentiviral expression plasmids encoding DC-SIGN (CD209), L-SIGN (CLEC4M), SIGLEC1, TMPRSS2 or ACE2 (all obtained from Genecopoeia) and the respective lentiviral helper plasmids. Forty-eight hours post transfection, lentivirus in the supernatant was harvested and concentrated by ultracentrifugation for 2 h at 20,000 rpm. Lenti-X 293T (Takara), Vero E6 (ATCC), MRCS (Sigma-Aldrich), A549 (ATCC) were transduced in the presence of 6 ug/mL polybrene (Millipore) for 24 h.
Cell lines overexpressing two transgenes were transduced subsequently. Selection with puromycin and/or blastici din (Gibco) was started two days after transduction and selection reagent was kept in the growth medium for all subsequent culturing.
Single cell clones were derived from the A549-ACE2-TMPRSS2 cell line, all other cell lines represent cell pools.
SAPS-Co V-2 neutralization Vero E6 or Vero E6-TMPRSS2 cells cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS (VWR) and lx Penicillin/Streptomycin (Thermo Fisher Scientific) were seeded in black 96-well plates at 20,000 cells/well. Serial 1:4 dilutions of the monoclonal antibodies were incubated with 200 pfu of SARS-CoV-2 (isolate USA-WA1/2020, passage 3, passaged in Vero E6 cells) for 30 min at 37 C in a BSL-3 facility. Cell supernatant was removed and the virus-antibody mixture was added to the cells. 24 h post infection, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 min, followed by two PBS (pH 7.4) washes and permeabilization with 0.25% Triton X-in PBS for 30 min. After blocking in 5% milk powder/PBS for 30 min, cells were incubated with a primary antibody targeting SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein (Sino Biological, cat. 40143-R001) at a 1:2000 dilution for lh. After washing and incubation with a secondary Alexa647-labeled antibody mixed with 1 ug/ml Hoechst33342 for hour, plates were imaged on an automated cell-imaging reader (Cytation 5, Biotek) and nucleocapsid-positive cells were counted using the manufacturer's supplied software.
SAPS-CoV-2-Nhic neutralization Neutralization was determined using SARS-CoV-2-Nluc, an infectious clone of SARS-CoV-2 (based on strain 2019-nCoV/USA WA1/2020) encoding nanoluciferase in place of the viral ORF7, which demonstrates comparable growth kinetics to wild type virus (Xie et al., Nat Comm, 2020, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-19055-7). Cells were seeded into black-walled, clear-bottom 96-well plates at 20,000 cells/well (293T
cells were seeded into poly-L-lysine-coated wells at 35,000 cells/well) and cultured overnight at 37 C. The next day, 9-point 4-fold serial dilutions of antibodies were prepared in infection media (DMEM + 10% FBS). SARS-CoV-2-Nluc was diluted in infection media at the indicated MOT, added to the antibody dilutions and incubated for min at 37 C. Media was removed from the cells, mAb-virus complexes were added, and cells were incubated at 37 C for 24 h.

One day post-transfection, cells were infected with VSV(G*AG-luciferase) (Kerafast) at an MOI of 3 infectious units/cell.
Viral inoculum was washed off after one hour and cells were incubated for another day at 37 C. The cell supernatant containing SARS-CoV-2 pseudotyped VSV was collected at day 2 post-transfection, centrifuged at 1000 x g for 5 minutes to remove cellular debris, aliquoted, and frozen at -80 C.
For viral neutralization, Cells were seeded into black-walled, clear-bottom 96-well plates at 20,000 cells/well (293T cells were seeded into poly-L-lysine-coated wells at 35,000 cells/well) and cultured overnight at 37 C. The next day, 9-point 4-fold serial dilutions of antibodies were prepared in media. SARS-CoV-2 pseudotyped VSV was diluted 1:30 in media in the presence of 100 ng/mL anti-VSV-G antibody (clone 8G5F11, Absolute Antibody) and added 1:1 to each antibody dilution.
Virus:antibody mixtures were incubated for 1 hour at 37 C. Media was removed from the cells and 50 pL of virus:antibody mixtures were added to the cells. One hour post-infection, 100 pL
of media was added to all wells and incubated for 17-20 hours at 37 C. Media was removed and 50 pi, of Bio-Glo reagent (Promega) was added to each well. The plate was shaken on a plate shaker at 300 RPM at room temperature for 15 minutes and RLUs were read on an EnSight plate reader (Perkin-Elmer).

After 2 h inoculation, cells were washed four times with complete medium and 10,000 VeroE6-TIVIPRSS2 cells per well were added and incubated 17-20 h at 37 C for trans-infection. Media was removed and 50 [it of Bio-Glo reagent (Promega) was added to each well. The plate was shaken on a plate shaker at 300 RPM at room temperature for 15 minutes and RLUs were read on an EnSight plate reader (Perkin-Elmer).
Cell-cell fusion of CHO-S cells CHO cells stably expressing SARS-CoV-2 S-glycoprotein were seeded in 96 well plates for microscopy (Thermo Fisher Scientific) at 12'500 cells/well and the following day, different concentrations of mAbs and nuclei marker Hoechst (final dilution 1:1000) were added to the cells and incubated for additional 24h hours. Fusion degree was established using the Cytation 5 Imager (BioTek) and an object detection protocol was used to detect nuclei as objects and measure their size. The nuclei of fused cells (i.e., syncytia) are found aggregated at the center of the syncitia and are recognized as a unique large object that is gated according to its size. The area of the objects in fused cells divided by the total area of all the object multiplied by 100 provides the percentage of fused cells Immunofluorescence analysis HEK 293T cells were seeded onto poly-D-Lysine-coated 96-well plates (Sigma-Aldrich) and fixed 24 h after seeding with 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 min, followed by two PBS (pH 7.4) washes and permeabilizati on with 0.25% Triton X-100 in PBS for min.

Recombinant expression of SARS-CoV-2-specific mAbs.
Human mAbs were isolated from plasma cells or memory B cells of SARS-CoV-2 immune donors, as previously described. Recombinant antibodies were expressed in ExpiCHO cells at 37 C and 8% CO2. Cells were transfected using ExpiFectamine. Transfected cells were supplemented 1 day after transfection with ExpiCHO Feed and ExpiFectamine CHO Enhancer. Cell culture supernatant was collected eight days after transfection and filtered through a 0.2 p.m filter.
Recombinant antibodies were affinity purified on an AKTA xpress FPLC device using 5 mL
HiTrapTm MabSelectTM PrismA columns followed by buffer exchange to Histidine buffer (20 mM Histidine, 8% sucrose, pH 6) using HiPrep 26/10 desalting columns SARS-CoV-2 infection model in hamster Virus preparation The SARS-CoV-2 strain used in this study, BetaCov/Belgium/GTM-03021/2020 (EPI ISL 109 40797612020-02-03), was recovered from a nasopharyngeal swab taken from an RT-qPCR confirmed asymptomatic patient who returned from Wuhan, China in February 2020. A close relation with the prototypic Wuhan-Hu-1 201 9-nCoV
(GenBank accession 112 number MN908947.3) strain was confirmed by phylogenetic analysis. Infectious virus was isolated by serial passaging on HuH7 and Vero E6 cells, passage 6 virus was used for the study described here. The titer of the virus stock was determined by end-point dilution on Vero E6 cells by the Reed and Muench method.
Cells Vero E6 cells (African green monkey kidney, ATCC CRL-1586) were cultured in minimal essential medium (Gibco) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Integro), 1% L- glutamine (Gibco) and 1% bicarbonate (Gibco). End-point titrations were performed with medium containing 2% fetal bovine serum instead of 10%.
SARS-Co V-2 infection model in hamsters The hamster infection model of SARS-CoV-2 has been described before. The specific study design is shown in the schematic below. In brief, wild-type Syrian Golden hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus) were purchased from Janvier Laboratories and were housed per two in ventilated isolator cages (IsoCage N Biocontainment System, Tecniplast) with ad libitum access to food and water and cage enrichment (wood block).
The animals were acclimated for 4 days prior to study start. Housing conditions and experimental procedures were approved by the ethics committee of animal experimentation of KU Leuven (license P065- 2020). Female 6-8 week old hamsters were anesthetized with ketamine/xylazine/atropine and inoculated intranasally with 50 pL containing 2x106 TCID50 SARS-CoV-2 (day 0).
Treatment regimen Animals were prophylactically treated 48h before infection by intraperitoneal administration (i.p.) and monitored for appearance, behavior, and weight. At day 4 post infection (p.i.), hamsters were euthanized by i.p. injection of 500 uL
Dolethal (200 mg/mL sodium pentobarbital, Vetoquinol SA). Lungs were collected and viral RNA
and infectious virus were quantified by RT-qPCR and end-point virus titration, respectively. Blood samples were collected before infection for PK analysis.
SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR
Collected lung tissues were homogenized using bead disruption (Precellys) in RLT buffer (RNeasyMinikit, Qiagen)and centrifuged (10.000 rpm, 5 min) to pellet the cell debris. RNA was extracted according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Of 50 uL eluate, 4 uL was used as a template in RT-qPCR reactions. RT-qPCR was performed on a LightCycler96 platform (Roche) using the iTaq Universal Probes One-Step RT-qPCR kit (BioRad) with N2 primers and probes targeting the nucleocapsid.
Standards of SARS-CoV-2 cDNA (IDT) were used to express viral genome copies per mg tissue or per mL serum.
End-point virus titrations Lung tissues were homogenized using bead disruption (Precellys) in 350 uL
minimal essential medium and centrifuged (10,000 rpm, 5min, 4 C) to pellet the cell debris. To quantify infectious SARS-CoV-2 particles, endpoint titrations were performed on confluent Vero E6 cells in 96- well plates. Viral titers were calculated by the Reed and Muench method using the Lindenbach calculator and were expressed as 50% tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50) per mg tissue.
Histology For histological examination, the lungs were fixed overnight in 4%
formaldehyde and embedded in paraffin. Tissue sections (5 prn) were analyzed after staining with hematoxylin and eosin and scored blindly for lung damage by an expert pathologist. The scored parameters, to which a cumulative score of 1 to 3 was attributed, were the following: congestion, intra-alveolar hemorrhagic, apoptotic bodies in bronchus wall, necrotizing bronchiolitis, perivascular edema, bronchopneumonia, perivascular inflammation, peribronchial inflammation and vasculitis.
Binding of immunocomplexes to hamster monocytes Immunocomplexes (IC) were generated by complexing S309 mAb (hamster IgG, either wt or N297A) with a biotinylated anti-idiotype fab fragment and Alexa-488-streptavidin, using a precise molar ratio (4:8:1, respectively). Pre-generated fluorescent IC were serially diluted incubated at 4 C for 3 hrs with freshly revitalized hamster splenocytes, obtained from a naïve animal. Cellular binding was then evaluated by cytometry upon exclusion of dead cells and physical gating on monocyte population.
Results are expressed as Alexa-488 mean florescent intensity of the entire monocyte population.
Bionyarmatic analyses Processed Human Lung Cell Atlas (HLCA) data and cell-type annotations were downloaded from Github (github.com/krasnowlab/HLCA). Processed single-cell transcriptome data and annotation of lung epithelial and immune cells from SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals were downloaded from NCBI GEO database (ID:
GSE158055) and Github (github.com/zhangzlab/covid balf). Available sequence data from the second single-cell transcriptomics study by Liao et al. were downloaded from NCBI SRA (ID: PRJNA608742) for inspection of reads corresponding to viral RNA.
The proportion of sgRNA relative to genomic RNA was estimated by counting TRS-containing reads supporting a leader-TRS junction. Criteria and methods for detection of leader-TRS junction reads were adapted from Alexandersen et al. The viral genome reference and TRS annotation was based on Wuhan-Hu-1 NC 045512.2/MN908947.
Only 2 samples from individuals with severe COVID-19 had detectable leader-TRS
junction reads (SRR11181958, SRR11181959).
ACE2-INDEPENDENT MECHANISM OF SARS-CoV2 NEUTRALIZATION
In the following experiments, unless otherwise indicated, S309 antibody (VH of SEQ ID NO.442, VL of SEQ ID NO. :446) was expressed as recombinant IgG1 with M428L and N434S Fe mutations. In certain experiments, antibody S2X333 (VH of SEQ ID NO.52, VL of SEQ ID NO. :56) and/or 52E12 (VH of SEQ ID NO.:450, VL of SFQ TD NO .454) (also expressed as rTgG1) were tested Other tested antibodies included S2M11 (VH of SEQ ID NO.:458, VL of SEQ ID NO.462), S2D106, and 52X58 (Starr et al, Nature 597:97-102 (2021), which antibodies are incorporated herein by reference).
The effect of ACE2 overexpression on S309 antibody neutralization of infection was investigated. Vero E6 or Vero E6-TMPRSS2 cells were infected with SARS-CoV-2 (isolate USA-WA1/2020) at MOI 0.01 in the presence of S309 (10 g/ml). Cells were fixed 24h post infection, viral nucleocapsid protein was immunostained and quantified. Nucleocapsid staining was effectively absent in antibody-treated cells.
S309 had an IC50 (ng/mL) in Vero E6 cells of 65 and in Vero E6-TMPRSS2 of 91 (data not shown).
A panel of 7 cell lines (HeLa, 293T (wt), Vero E6, Huh7, 293T ACE2, MRC 5-ACE2-IMPRSS2, A549-ACE2-IMPRSS2 clone 5, A549-ACE2-IMPRSS2 clone 10) were infected with SARS-CoV-2-Nluc or VSV pseudotyped with the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in the presence of S309. Luciferase signal was quantified 24h post infection. S309 maximum neutralization values were as shown in Table 8.
Table 8. Maximum Neutralization Values of S309 Virus/Pseudotype Cell Type SARS- VSV Pseudotype CoV-2-Nlue Vero E6 >99% >99%
Vero E6-TMPRSS2 >99% 96%

A549-ACE2-TMPRSS2 89% 65%
clone 5 A549-ACE2-TMPRS S2 81% 42%
clone 10 Binding of purified, fluorescently-labeled SARS-CoV-2 spike protein binding to these cell lines was quantified by flow cytometry. HeLa and 239T WT cells had he lowest MFIs, followed by Huh7 and VeroE6 cells. 293T ACE2 cells (highest), MRC
ACE2-TMPRSS2 (third-highest), A549-ACE2-TMPRSS2 clone 5 (fourth-highest), and A549-ACE2-TMPRSS2 clone 10 (second-highest) had higher MFIs. Correlation analysis between spike binding maximum neutralization potential of S309 was determined; S309 Spearman correlation values were: r = -0.94 for both viral models. p = 0.017.
To further characterize SARS-CoV-2-susceptible cell lines, the seven cell lines described above were incubated with purified, fluorescently-labeled SARS-CoV-2 spike protein or RBD protein and protein binding was quantified by flow cytometry. In descending order of MFI, the cell lines were: A549-ACE2-TMPRSS2 clone 10; 293T
ACE2; MRC 5-ACE2-TMPRSS2; A549-ACE2-TMPRSS2 clone 5; Vero E6; Huh7;
293T (wt), and HeLa.
Selected lectins and published receptor candidates were screened using HEK293T cells infected with SARS-CoV-2 VSV pseudoviruses. ACE2, DC-SIGN, L-SIGN, and SIGLEC-1 gave the highest signals. ACE2 provided a signal of approximately 105 relative luminescence units (RLUs), and DC-SIGN, SIGLEC-1, and L-SIGN had signals of approximately 104RLUs. All other lectins/candidates tested gave signals of approximately 102¨ 103 RLUs.
HEK 293T, HeLa and MRCS cells were transiently transduced to overexpress DC-SIGN, L-SIGN, SIGLEC1 or ACE2 and infected with SARS-CoV-2 VSV
pseudoviruses. Uninfected cells and untransduced cells were included as controls. In 1-1EK2931 cells, ACE2, DC-SIGN, SIGLEC-1, and L-SIGN all provided substantial increases in infection. In HeLa and MRC5 cells, only ACE2 increased infection.
Stable HEK293T cell lines overexpressing DC-SIGN, L-SIGN, SIGLEC-1 or ACE2 were infected with authentic SARS-CoV-2 (MOI 0.1), fixed and immunostained at 24 hours for the SARS-CoV-2 nucleoprotein. Wild-type cells (infected and uninfected) were used as controls. Increased staining was observed in cells overexpressing DC-SIGN, L-SIGN, or SIGLEC-1, and staining was significantly increased in cells overexpressing ACE2.
Stable cell lines were infected with SARS-CoV-2-Nluc and luciferase levels were quantified at 24 hours. In ascending order of RLUs. uninfected (approx.
RLUs); parental 293T (approx. 104RLUs); DC-SIGN (approx. 105RLUs); L-SIGN
(approx. 105RLUs), SIGLEC-1 (approx. 105-106RLUs), ACE2 (>107 RLUs).
Stable cell lines were incubated with different concentration of anti-SIGLEC1 mAb (clone 7-239) and infected with SARS-CoV-2-Nluc. Infection as a percentage of untreated cells remained near to exceeded 100% in 293T cells expressing DC-SIGN, L-SIGN, or ACE2, but dropped to below 50% (0.2 1.1g/mL anti-SIGLEC) to close to 0 (1 Kg/mL or 5 Kg/mL anti-SIGLEC) in 293T cells expressing SIGLEC- I .
Single cell expression levels of selected potential SARS-CoV-2 (co)receptor candidates were determined in different lung cell types derived from the Human Lung Cell Atlas (nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2922-4). DC-SIGN, L-SIGN and SIGLEC-1 are expressed in a variety of cell types in the lung at levels similar to or even higher than ACE2.
Binding of antibodies targeting DC-/L-SIGN, DC-SIGN, SIGLEC1 or ACE2 on HEK293T cells stably over-expressing the respective attachment receptor was analyzed by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence analysis. HEK 293T cells over-expressing the respective attachment receptors were infected with VSV pseudotyped with SARS-COV-2 wildtype spike or spike bearing mutations of the B1.1.7 lineage.
Luminescence was analyzed one day post infection. Infection was increased in cells expressing the attachment receptors. Infection by VSV pseudotyped with either spike was similar for each test group. Cells expressing ACE2 gave the highest luminescence signal.
Vero E6 cells, in vitro differentiated moDCs or PBMCs were infected with SARS-CoV-2 at MOI 0.01. At 24h post infection, cells were fixed, immunostained for viral nucleocapsid protein and infected cells were quantified. Only VeroE6 cells showed infection (approximately 7% of cells). Supernatant of the infected cells was taken at 24, 48 and 72h and infectious viral titer was quantified by FFU assay on Vero E6 cells.
Major cell types with detectable SARS-CoV-2 genome in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and sputum of severe COVID-19 patients were assessed. A t-SNE
plot was generated, and the count of each SARS-CoV-2+ cell type was determined (total n=3,085 cells from 8 subjects in Ken et al. Cell 2021). Cell types were T, NK, plasma, neutrophil, macrophage, ciliated, squamous, and secretory. Expression of ACE2, DC-SIGN, L-SIGN, SIGLEC-1, and combinations of these was assessed for each cell type.
ACE2, DC-SIGN (CD209), L-SIGN (CLEC4M), SIGLEC1 transcript counts were correlated with SARS-CoV-2 RNA counts in macrophages and in secretory cells.
Correlation was based on counts (before log transformation), from Ren et al.
Cell 2021.
Representative data showing expression of receptors in stable HEK293T cell lines are shown in Figure 40. Cell lines were generated to overexpress DC-SIGN, L-SIGN or ACE2 by transducing HEK293T cells with lentivirus encoding the transgene, and immunofluorescence assays were performed to assess transgene expression.
Representative data showing the ability of VSV pseudovirus expressing SARS-CoV-2 S protein with luciferase reporter to infect the HEK293T cells (using a luminescence assay) are shown in Figure 41; expression of DC-SIGN or L-SIGN
increased pseudovirus infection levels by over 10-fold compared to infection of WT
HEK293T cells, and expression of ACE2 increased pseudovirus infection levels by over 100-fold compared to infection of WT HEK293T cells.
Neutralizing activity of mAb S309 against the VSV pseudovirus was assessed in the engineered HEK293T cells. S309 fully neutralized infection via DC-SIGN and L-SIGN, and to a lesser extent, ACE2.
The ability of live SARS-CoV-2 with luciferase reporter to infect the HEK293T
cells was examined using a luminescence assay. expression of DC-SIGN or L-SIGN
increased live virus infection levels by over 3-fold compared to infection of WT
1-1EK2931 cells, and expression of ACE2 increased live virus infection levels by over 100-fold compared to infection of WT HEK293T cells.
Neutralizing activity of mAb S309 against the VSV pseudovirus was assessed in the engineered HEK293T cells. S309 fully neutralized infection via DC-SIGN and L-SIGN, and neutralized infection via ACE2 to a lesser extent.
Experiments were performed to investigate whether S309 antibody can neutralize entry of SARS-CoV-2 via SIGLEC-1. Briefly, stable cell HEK293T
lines were generated as described above to overexpress DC-SIGN/L-SIGN, DC-SIGN, SIGLEC-1, or ACE2. Expression of DC-SIGN, L-SIGN, or SIGLEC increased live virus infection levels by over 10-fold compared to infection of WT HEK293T
cells, and expression of ACE2 increased pseudovirus infection levels by over 100-fold compared to infection of WT HEK293T cells. S309 fully neutralized infection via DC-SIGN, L-SIGN, and SIGLEC-1.
Expression of DC-SIGN (CD209) and other cell surface receptor proteins including SIGLEC-1 and other SIGLECs was determined on a variety of cell types.
Data are summarized in Figure 45.
Further experiments were performed to investigate the function(s) of DC-SIGN, L-SIGN, and SIGLEC-1 in SARS-CoV-2 infection. In one set of experiments, HEK293T cells stably expressing DC-SIGN, L-SIGN, SIGLEC-1 or ACE2 were infected with live SARS-CoV-2 Nluc at three different multiplicities of infection (MOI): 0.01, 0.1, and 1). Infection was determined using relative luminescence units and compared to infection in HEK293T cells (parental) At the lowest MOT
tested, an increase of infection in cells expressing DC-SIGN, L-SIGN, or SIGLEC was observed.
At the highest MOI tested, infection was not further increased versus parental by expression of DC-SIGN, L-SIGN, or SIGLEC. These data indicate that the parental 293T cells are susceptible to infection by SARS-CoV-2 and L-SIGN, DC-SIGN, and SIGLEC-1 enhance infection levels but do not function as primary receptors for infection.
In another set of experiments, 293T cells, HeLa cells, and MRCS cells were transiently transduced with lentivirus encoding DC-SIGN, L-SIGN, SIGLEC-1 or ACE2 and infected with VSV pseudovirus three days after transduction. While the 293T cells showed a low level of susceptibility (compare uninfected with untransduced), HeLa and MRCS cells were completely refractory to the virus.
The low level of infection in 293T cells can be increased by expression of L-SIGN, DC-SIGN, or SIGLEC-1, consistent with a role for these proteins as as attachment factors. The HeLa and MRCS cells remained refractory to infection even after expression of L-SIGN, DC-SIGN, or SIGLEC-1, and only become susceptible after expression of ACE2. These data indicate that L-SIGN, DC-SIGN, and SIGLEC-1 are not primary receptors for SARS-CoV-2.
