Description

SARS-COV coronavirus S1 protein polypeptide and its application

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of biology. In particular to an epitope and the application thereof as a vaccine.

Background

SARS-CoV is an enveloped single-stranded positive-strand RNA virus with a genome length of about 29725 nucleotides [1 ]. Coronaviruses are the largest RNA viruses, with virus particles about 100nm in diameter.

Coronaviridae (Coronaviridae) belongs to the order Riboviria (Nidovirales) in the Riboviria domain on the basis of the classification rules of the International Commission on viral Classification [2 ]. The family coronaviridae is further divided into four genera (Genus), respectively designated: alpha coronavirus, beta coronavirus, gamma coronavirus, and coronavirus. At present, there are 7 known human coronaviruses including SARS-CoV-2, which are derived from alpha coronavirus (HCoV-NL63, HCoV-229E) and beta coronavirus (HCoV-OC43, HCoV-HKU1, SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV). Among them, SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 are most highly related and belong to the Subgenus of the Subcorovirus (Sarbecovirus) subgenus [2 ].

SARS-CoV (GenBank: AY278488.2) genome structure has a cap structure at 5 'end and a poly (A) tail at 3' end. From 5 'to 3' are in sequence: 11 open reading frames [3] such as ORF1a, ORF1b, S, PUP1, PUP2, E, M, PUP3, PUP4, PUP5 and N. Within the genome of the first 2/3, there are two large reading frames, ORF1a and ORF1b, which encode two replicase-related polyprotein precursors pp1a and pp1 ab. Coronaviruses require synthesis of 1b with a 5' offset of one nucleotide (-1), which is ultimately translated into the complete polyprotein precursor pp1ab [4 ]. Research shows that after coronavirus infects cells, a 200-350nm double-layer vacuolar organelle-like structure is formed in cytoplasm and is an important transcription and replication site of the virus.

Spike proteins (i.e., S proteins) are important envelope proteins for virus interaction with target cells and mediate the invasion process of the virus into host cells. The S protein can be divided into two parts, S1 and S2. S1 contains a Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) which can bind to SARS-CoV receptor angiotensin converting enzyme 2(ACE2) on the cell surface [5 ]; whereas the S2 part has two heptad repeats HR1 and HR2, which are involved in the fusion of the virus with the cell membrane [6 ].

There is still a need in the art to develop a vaccine for SARS-CoV that produces better antibody titers and that is immune protective against SARS-CoV challenge.

Detailed Description

Example 1 prediction and screening of the epitope S1

1. The full sequence of the S protein (full length 1255aa, FIG. 2) was obtained from SARS-CoV BJ01(GenBank SEQ ID NO: AY278488.2) whole genome information.

The full-length sequence of the S protein was analyzed using protein prediction software (https:// www.predictprotein.org). According to the strength of the hydrophilic region of the protein and the analysis of the distribution of the congenital disordered state of the protein by PROFVal and Ucon software (figure 1), a plurality of fragments are selected as potential antigen epitopes.

The 20 amino acid region from 433 to 452 of SARS-CoV BJ01 was finally selected as the S1 best epitope (i.e., TGNYNYKYRYLRHGKLRPFE, SEQ ID No. 1).

2. Control epitope:

it is predicted in the existing reports that epitopes recognized by B cells are likely to be around 436-456 and 1136-1146; journal of Immunology 2005, 174: 4908-4915 reports an epitope 4D5 consisting of 17 amino acids. In the present application, 4D5 was used as a positive control epitope (17 amino acids).

Example 2 preparation of Rabbit-derived antibodies against the epitope of S1 polypeptide

0.5mg of solfo-SMCC was dissolved in 10. mu.L of DMSO, and 230. mu.L of a buffer (0.1M Na3PO4 containing 0.1M NaCl, pH7.2) was added to the solution, followed by mixing, adding 10. mu.L (2mg) of a Carrier protein Blue Carrier (product of Pierce Co., Ltd.), and mixing and allowing to stand at room temperature for 60 minutes. The reaction was added to Sephadex G25, eluted with cross-linking buffer, and the protein efflux peak was detected by BCA method, receiving the activated carrier protein from tubes 6-9. Immediately, 2mg of the polypeptide epitope of S1 (present application, or control epitope) was dissolved in 10 μ L of cross-linking buffer, mixed well with the activated carrier protein, and left at room temperature for 2 hours.

The crosslinked product Blue-S1 was dialyzed against PBS. 0.5mL of Blue-S1 crosslinked product (200. mu.g) was thoroughly mixed with 0.5mL of Freund' S complete adjuvant, and 1mL of the mixture was distributed and inoculated onto the back of a new Zealand rabbit weighing 2 kg.

A small amount of rabbit serum is reserved before immunization as preimmune serum. After 3 weeks, 0.5mL of Blue-S1 cross-linked product (200. mu.g) was mixed well with 0.5mL of Freund' S incomplete adjuvant for a second immunization. After 6 weeks, 0.5mL of Blue-S1 cross-linked product (200. mu.g) was mixed well with 0.5mL of Freund' S incomplete adjuvant for a third immunization. Rabbit whole serum was harvested 8 weeks after 3 immunizations.

Example 3 IgG antibody titers against the epitope of the S1 polypeptide derived from Rabbit

mu.L (5. mu.g/mL) of S1 polypeptide (dissolved in 15mM Na2CO3/35mM NaHCO 3/0.1% NaN3, pH9.6) per well was added to 96-well plates (Dynex Technologies) and incubated overnight at 4 ℃. Then, washed with PBS-T, blocked by adding 200. mu.L of 2% BSA in PBS-T, and incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. The anti-S1 antibody serum was diluted at 1:100, 1:500, 1:5000, 1:5 ten thousand and 1:50 ten thousand, 100. mu.L of each dilution of anti-S1 antibody was added to each well, and incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. After washing with PBS-T, 100. mu.L of peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit antibody was added to each well and incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. After cleaning, adding a substrate for color development, and then detecting by using a Berlol microplate reader at the wavelength of 450 nm. The results are shown in table 1, and the obtained rabbit anti-S1 antibody titer is: rabbit anti-S1 antibody (IgG type) >1:25 ten thousand.

The titer of the antibody prepared by the S1 polypeptide epitope of the application is better than that of a control epitope (less than 1:5 ten thousand, and p is less than 0.05).

Example 4 determination of SARS-CoV Virus Titers by TCID50

Inoculating SARS-CoV strain (HKU-39849) into Vero E6 cells in biosafety P3 laboratory for large scale amplification, fully infecting to form CPE, collecting cells, repeatedly freezing and thawing, centrifuging at high speed, collecting supernatant as virus stock solution, and performing titer determination. Vero E6 cells were plated in 96-well plates to a monolayer that covered the bottom of the wells by 90%. Diluting the virus stock solution at a 1: 10-fold ratio in a 100 μ L system, and adjusting the dilution ratio to 10^-1Diluting to 10^-10. Four wells were inoculated at each dilution, 100. mu.L per well, and cytopathic effects were observed in each well under a microscope three days later, and the results are shown in Table 2. The final virus titer was calculated as 10⁹TCID50/mL, about 2X10⁸PFU/mL。
