Description

Antigen epitope peptide of RBD of SARS-CoV-2 and its application
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biological medicine, in particular to the technical field of virus antigens, and especially relates to an epitope peptide of RBD of SARS-CoV-2 and application thereof.
Background
The novel coronavirus (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, abbreviated as New crown) has serious infection hazard, and epidemic situation is still in global sustainable development, which brings serious challenges to epidemic situation prevention and control in China.
Since no specific new crown therapeutic drug exists at present, a vaccine is an ideal choice for controlling new crown infection. Although several new coronavirus vaccines are currently marketed, the constant emergence of new coronavirus variant strains such as Delta and Omicron strains, challenges the effectiveness and persistence of existing vaccination. The main initial part of the new crown infection is respiratory mucosa, and most of the existing new crown vaccines are immune by intramuscular injection (intramuscular injection for short), the immune response of the respiratory mucosa induced by the new crown vaccine is limited, and the intramuscular injection can not prevent the virus transmission of the host mucosa part in time. The choice of a suitable adjuvant and an immune pathway while inducing respiratory mucosa and systemic immune responses is a critical issue to be resolved by the new crown vaccine. Analyzing the effective components of SARS-CoV-2 antigen to induce protective response under different adjuvants and immune approaches and its immune response mechanism is the basis and premise for solving the scientific problem.
Spike protein (S protein or Spike protein) is an important structural protein of SARS-CoV-2, and is an antigen component of other vaccines except for inactivated vaccines in the existing novel crown vaccine. The Spike protein contains two subunits S1 and S2, wherein the C-terminal end of the S1 subunit contains a receptor binding domain (Receptor binding domain, abbreviated as RBD domain), and recognizes the receptor angiotensin converting enzyme E2 (ACE 2) on the surface of host cells via its RBD domain, mediating viral entry into host cells, and amino acid variation of the RBD domain leads to changes in the species specificity and infection characteristics of the virus. RBD contains the most immunodominant neutralizing epitope in the whole SARS-CoV-2 virus, and 90% of neutralizing antibodies in serum of the COVID-19 restorer are induced by RBD. Neutralizing antibodies targeting RBD have potential value in the prevention and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection. RBD can circumvent the ADE effect caused by NTD domain antibodies of the S1 subunit. In addition, RBD has stable property, easy recombinant expression and purification preparation, thus being an ideal antigen of the novel crown vaccine.
Studies have demonstrated that antibodies with neutralizing capacity play a protective role in the protection of new coronaviruses. The titer of neutralizing antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 is correlated with clinical outcome. Since protein antigens exert their function primarily by virtue of epitopes therein, the primary role played is "immunodominant" epitopes. Thus, the identification of protective epitopes for immunodominant responses in RBD antigens is an important premise for enhancing and optimizing the design of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines based on RBD antigens. Screening for immunodominant epitopes of RBD is a precondition for eliciting a more potent RBD immune response. Currently known B-cell epitopes of RBDs, either as deduced by bioinformatics software, or as identified by monoclonal antibodies, or as identified in a human or animal immune model, have not been reported for the comprehensive screening of RBDs involved in immune responses in different immune pathways. Since the primary site of infection of the new coronavirus is primarily the respiratory mucosa, there is a need to establish an accurate and effective method for screening and identifying B cell "dominant epitopes" of RBDs involved in immune responses under the "nasal drip route".

EXAMPLE 2 collection and preservation of RBD immune serum
Recombinant SEB whole protein of mutant SEB three toxin sites was constructed by the method disclosed based on the reference (reference: jintaozou et al a-Hemolysin-Aided Oligomerization of the Spike Protein RBD Resulted in Improved Immunogenicity and Neutralization Against SARS-CoV-2 Variants ariants.Front Immunol.2021 Sep 24;12:757691.) and the RBD protein dose of immunized mice was adjusted to 20 ug/dose, the dose of adjuvant AddaVax was 50 uL, the immunization route was nasal drip immunization, and three times over 0, 14, 21 days. Measuring the titer of the antiserum, and selecting RBD titer to be more than 1:64000 mice immune serum was used for subsequent detection.
EXAMPLE 3 screening of B cell immunodominant epitopes of RBD
The overlapping peptide coating concentration was adjusted to 5. Mu.g/well (using whole protein RBD (SSequence ID: 6XDG_E) as a positive control), the wells were coated, washed, blocked, and washed again, then RBD immune antiserum obtained in example 2 was added, the dilution was 1:50, incubation was performed for 1.5 h-washing, HRP-goat anti-mouse IgG (purchased from Enjing organism, cat# E1WP 319) was added, the dilution was 1:5000, TMB substrate chromogenic solution (purchased from Beyotime/Biyun, cat# P0209-100 ml) was added after washing, the OD value was read at 450nm after termination of the reaction, and the positive overlapping peptide was obtained by the formula 18 amino acid overlapping peptide OD detection value-blank control detection value)/(negative peptide OD detection value-blank control detection value). Gtoreq.2.1. Through SPSS16.0 data inspection, positive overlapping peptides with significant statistical significance relative to other positive overlapping peptide readings are obtained and are defined as immunodominant epitope peptides of B cells, namely immunodominant epitope peptides. Unrelated peptide OVA 192–201 (SEQ ID NO:36 EDTQAMPFRV) is an anionic control peptide.
Results: as shown in FIG. 1, there are 2 positive polypeptides RBD 61-78 (SEQ ID NO:11 CYGVSPTKLNDLCFTNVY)、RBD 97-114 (SEQ ID NO:17 TGKIADYNYKLPDDFTGC) has a statistically significant meaning relative to other dominant peptide reads, defined as dominant epitopes, OVA in this figure 192-201 A negative irrelevant peptide; by the method, not only all B cell epitopes of RBD are obtained by screening, but also B cell dominant epitopes of RBD are defined.
Example 4 antisera from RBD immunized mice were analyzed for their ability to inhibit RBD binding to human angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE 2);
proteins from RBD were immunized by three intramuscular injections on days 0, 14, 21 with AddaVax adjuvant (purchased from InvivoGen) for 6-8 weeks BALB/c mice, day 7 post last immunization, and antisera were collected from the tail vein.
To evaluate the immunogenicity of RBD, mice were immunized by nasal drip with the RBD protein described in example 2 supplemented with adavax adjuvant, and post-trisection mice were collected from venous blood samples of the tail for RBD-specific antibody level detection. Results of RBD-specific IgG antibody titers from immunized mouse serum as shown in fig. 2, the geometric mean titers of RBD-specific IgG antibodies from immunized group serum increased to about 106. Wherein the log10 log of RBD specific IgG antibody titers was 5.95±0.2375 (P < 0.05). The above results indicate that: RBD can induce high levels of RBD specific antibodies by nasal drip immunization with adavax adjuvant.
The analysis results of the RBD specific IgG antibody subtype of the immunized mouse serum are shown in FIG. 3, wherein the RBD specific IgG antibody mainly comprises the IgG1 subtype.
Neutralizing antibody titers were first measured by competition ELISA methods to assess RBD-induced functional antibody levels. The competition inhibition assay was performed using a kit (Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Neutralizing Antibody Titer Serologic Assay Kit, available from Acrobiosystems, beijing, china). Serum samples from immunized mice were diluted 1:10 and mixed with RBD of 0.3 μg/ml HRP-SARS-CoV-2 spike protein for repeated analysis. The microplate reader detects the Optical Density (OD) at 450nm and calculates the neutralization inhibition according to the formula (1-average OD of sample/average OD of negative control) ×100%. Results are shown in FIG. 4, 20 μg of antibody NT50 (Titers of 50% Neutralization) induced after RBD 3 immunizations reached 1:3412 (P < 0.05), and the inverse serum dilution plot is shown in FIG. 5. The above results illustrate: RBD was boosted with adavax adjuvant and the induced high level of RBD-specific antibodies had the ability to compete for inhibition of RBD binding to human angiotensin converting enzyme 2 neutralization.
