Abstract

The invention relates to the field of antibody detection, in particular to a double competition detection method, a detection component and application of related antibodies, which can be applied to a detection method and a product of a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) neutralizing antibody and can simultaneously detect RBD and NTD neutralizing antibodies.

Description

Method and product for detecting RBD and NTD neutralizing antibody
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of antibody detection, in particular to a detection method and a product.
Background
The frequent sporadic accidents in China and the quick approval of the vaccine on the market are particularly urgent. Some vaccines are currently marketed globally with authorization for emergency use or additional conditions.
However, in the face of brand new viruses, under the background that more relevant basic researches and more mechanism researches are not thorough, a large number of vaccine designs rapidly enter the clinic, and more contents still need to be further researched on the effectiveness, the protection period, the quality control and the accessibility of the vaccines.
The first vaccine in China is mainly an inactivated vaccine, however, BPL (BPL-based protein) inactivation adopted by the inactivated vaccine is adopted, and Spike protein has high proportion of post-fusion conformation and RBD (reduced beta-amyloid) conformation, so that the evidence that the total antibody level response is relatively low and the neutralizing antibody titer is not high is found in the primary immune population analysis.
In addition, from the current basic research of new crowns, not all individuals will produce sufficient titers of neutralizing antibodies after infection with new crowns, with the risk of secondary infection. The neutralizing antibody titer gradually decreases after reaching the peak value in 1 month, and a small part of low-titer convalescent people can decrease below the detection limit. With reference to other coronaviruses, new corona antibodies may exist for about 1-2 years and do not form long-lasting protection.
Neutralizing antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 can effectively control infection by blocking or inhibiting the interaction between SARS-CoV-2 and the host cell. The best studied mechanism is the interaction between the Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) on the S1 subunit of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein and the host cell Receptor ACE2, followed by conformational transition and membrane fusion. ACE2, also known as achh and known as angiotensin converting enzyme 2, is a metalloprotease with 805 amino acids in total length and is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein with a single extracellular catalytic domain. A Receptor Binding Motif (RBM), which is part of the Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) that is in contact with ACE 2.
Many new neutralizing antibodies have also been isolated in current research, such as those that bind to the NTD region of the S1 subunit.
Partial vaccines currently show evidence of low positive conversion and titers of neutralizing antibodies after immunization. In addition, SARS-CoV-2 as RNA virus has very high mutation frequency, and the neutralizing effect of serum and vaccine in convalescent period shows lower neutralizing capacity to partial mutation, and the accumulation of the partial mutation may result in immunological escape. Thus, higher demands are made on the sensitivity and sensitivity of detection of neutralizing antibodies.
The existing product mainly detects a neutralizing antibody blocking the interaction of RBD-ACE2 by an RBD-ACE2 competition method, and cannot detect an NTD neutralizing antibody.
The invention is therefore proposed.
