Description

Coronavirus subunit vaccine based on virus-like particle presenting coronavirus receptor binding region
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of biological medicine, in particular to a coronavirus subunit vaccine based on virus-like particles presenting a coronavirus receptor binding region.
Background
Coronaviruses are enveloped, sense RNA viruses belonging to the genus coronavirus of the family coronaviridae. Some coronaviruses are severely threatening human health, such as SARS-CoV, which causes severe respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreaks, and MERS-CoV, which causes Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) outbreaks, and SARS-CoV-2, which causes new coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19). In addition, there are also coronaviruses which cause less symptomatic diseases in humans, such as HCoV-NL63, HCoV-229E, HCoV-OC43, HCoV-HKU1, etc. Some coronaviruses can also infect animals and have an impact on pet health and livestock production, such as feline peritonitis virus (FIPV) can cause peritonitis and ascites in cats, with high mortality, and Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV) can cause diarrhea in live pigs, severely threatening production of live pigs. In addition, there are coronaviruses that can infect dogs, mice and cattle. The most effective way to combat viral infections is vaccination, which is now being tightly developed in all countries around the world against new coronaviruses and other coronaviruses.
In the early stages of a new coronal epidemic, scientists have demonstrated that the receptor taken by the virus into cells is the cell surface protein ACE2, and that the Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) on the virus surface spike protein (S) directly mediates interactions with ACE 2. Most neutralizing antibodies isolated from naturally infected patients are capable of binding RBD and preventing the interaction of RBD with ACE2, so RBD as an immunogen will be able to stimulate the body to produce neutralizing antibodies that inhibit the binding of virus to the receptor.
Current studies show that RBD monomeric or dimeric proteins or mRNA encoding RBD as vaccines can stimulate the body to produce neutralizing antibodies. However, the immunogenicity of RBD monomers or dimers is relatively weak, and no RNA vaccine is approved for marketing, and the long-term safety is still unknown, so that the development of RBD subunit vaccines with high safety and high immunogenicity is necessary.
Disclosure of Invention
It is an object of the present application to provide a coronavirus subunit vaccine based on virus-like particles presenting coronavirus receptor binding domains.
In a first aspect, the application claims a recombinant virus-like particle.
The recombinant virus-like particle claimed by the application is chikungunya virus-like particle carrying specific proteins; the specific protein is S protein of SARS-CoV-2 or RBD segment of SARS-CoV-2S protein. The specific protein is presented by virus-like particles.
The chikungunya virus-like particles are formed by self-assembly of the capsid protein, the E1 protein, the E2 protein, the E3 protein and the 6K protein of the chikungunya virus. The capsid protein, E1 protein, E2 protein, E3 protein and 6K protein of chikungunya virus are generated by cleavage of chikungunya virus multimeric protein capsid-E3-E2-6K-E1 (see figure 1) by host protease.
Further, the recombinant virus-like particle is formed by self-assembly of the capsid protein of chikungunya virus, the E1 protein of chikungunya virus, fusion protein a and the 6K protein of chikungunya virus.

The fusion protein A contains E2 protein, E3 protein and the specific protein of chikungunya virus.
Wherein the specific protein replaces a Furin cleavage site between the chikungunya virus E3 protein and the E2 protein. The inventors tried some other locations nearby, but these attempts failed to detect VLP formation.
