Detailed Description
General terms and definitions
All patents, patent applications, scientific publications, manufacturer's instructions and guidelines, and the like, cited herein, whether supra or infra, are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. Nothing herein is to be construed as an admission that the disclosure is not entitled to antedate such disclosure.
Unless otherwise defined, scientific and technical terms used herein have the meanings commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. Also, the terms related to protein and nucleic acid chemistry, molecular biology, cell and tissue culture, microbiology, as used herein, are terms that are widely used in the relevant art (see, e.g., molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 2) nd Edition, j. Sambrook et al eds., cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, cold Spring Harbor 1989). Meanwhile, in order to better understand the present invention, definitions and explanations of related terms are provided below.
As used herein, the terms "comprises," "comprising," "includes," "including," "having" and "containing" are open-ended, meaning the inclusion of the stated elements, steps or components, but not the exclusion of other non-recited elements, steps or components. The expression "consisting of … …" does not include any elements, steps or components not specified. The expression "consisting essentially of … …" means that the scope is limited to the specified elements, steps, or components, plus any optional elements, steps, or components that do not significantly affect the basic and novel properties of the claimed subject matter. It should be understood that the expressions "consisting essentially of … …" and "consisting of … …" are encompassed within the meaning of the expression "comprising".
As used herein, the singular forms "a," "an," or "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. The term "one or more" or "at least one" encompasses 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or more.
Recitation of ranges of values herein are merely intended to serve as a shorthand method of referring individually to each separate value falling within the range. Unless otherwise indicated herein, each separate value is incorporated into the specification as if it were individually recited herein. Unless specifically indicated to the contrary, the numerical values or ranges set forth herein are modified by "about" to mean the enumerated or claimed values or ranges are + -20%, + -10%, + -5%, or + -3%.
All methods described herein can be performed in any suitable order unless otherwise indicated.
As used herein, the term "polypeptide" refers to a polymer comprising two or more amino acids covalently linked by peptide bonds. A "protein" may comprise one or more polypeptides, wherein the polypeptides interact with each other by covalent or non-covalent means. Unless otherwise indicated, "polypeptide" and "protein" may be used interchangeably.
As used herein, a "variant" of a reference polypeptide refers to a polypeptide that differs from the reference polypeptide by at least one amino acid modification. The reference polypeptide may be naturally occurring or may be a modified form of the wild-type polypeptide. In this context, "polypeptide variants" and "mutant polypeptides" have the same meaning. The polypeptide variants may be, for example, mutants, post-translational modification variants, isoforms, species variants, species homologs, and the like. Polypeptide variants may be prepared by recombinant DNA techniques, for example, by modification of known amino acid sequences by altering the coding sequence. Polypeptide variants may also be prepared by chemical synthesis or enzymatic methods. According to the invention, the S protein variant may have an ability to induce an immune response comparable to or higher than that of a wild-type S protein, e.g.the S protein of the wild-type S protein (original virus strain Wuhan-Hu-1 (Genbank accession number: MN 908947.3), exemplary amino acid sequences being shown in SEQ ID NO: 1), i.e.exhibit an immunogenicity comparable to or enhanced by the wild-type S protein.
As used herein, modifications to an amino acid sequence may include, for example, amino acid substitutions, additions, and/or deletions. "amino acid addition" refers to the addition of one or more amino acids to an amino acid sequence. Amino acid additions may occur anywhere in the amino acid sequence, including, but not limited to, the middle, amino-terminal, and/or carboxy-terminal of the amino acid sequence. Amino acid additions that occur in the middle of an amino acid sequence may also be referred to as "amino acid insertions". "amino acid deletion" refers to the removal of one or more amino acids from an amino acid sequence. Amino acid deletions may occur anywhere in the amino acid sequence. Amino acid deletions occurring at the N and/or C termini may also be referred to as truncations. Truncated variants may also be referred to as "fragments". "amino acid substitution" refers to the replacement of an amino acid residue at a particular amino acid position with another amino acid residue. Herein, "amino acid modification" may also be referred to as "mutation".
As used herein, the correspondence between amino acid sequences or portions of amino acid sequences (e.g., subunits, domains, or subdomains) or the correspondence between specified amino acid positions of a reference polypeptide and another polypeptide can be determined by optimally aligning the amino acid sequences of the two polypeptides (e.g., as described herein). Herein, "a polypeptide variant comprises an amino acid substitution at amino acid N corresponding to a reference polypeptide" or "a polypeptide variant comprises an amino acid substitution as compared to a reference polypeptide" means that the polypeptide variant comprises a different amino acid than the reference polypeptide at amino acid position N corresponding to the reference polypeptide, but no limitation is placed on the amino acids at other positions of the polypeptide variant, i.e., the amino acids at other positions may be the same or different from the amino acids at the corresponding positions of the reference polypeptide. Similarly, the amino acid of a "polypeptide variant" at a position corresponding to amino acid N of a reference polypeptide is X aa ", only indicates the amino group of the polypeptide variant at amino acid position N corresponding to the reference polypeptideThe acid is X aa However, amino acids at other positions of the polypeptide variant are not limited.
As used herein, the term "% identity" or "percent identity" with respect to sequences refers to the percentage of nucleotides or amino acids that are identical in the optimal alignment between the sequences to be compared. The difference between the two sequences may be distributed over a local area (section) or the entire length of the sequences to be compared. Typically, the percent identity between two sequences is determined after optimal alignment of the segments or "comparison windows". The optimal alignment may be performed manually or by means of algorithms known in the art, including but not limited to the local homology algorithms described in Smith and Waterman,1981,Ads App.Math.2,482 and Neddleman and Wunsch,1970, j.mol. Biol.48,443, the similarity search method described in Pearson and Lipman,1988,Proc.Natl Acad.Sci.USA 88,2444, or using computer programs such as GAP, BESTFIT, FASTA, BLAST P, BLAST N and tfast a in Wisconsin Genetics Software Package, genetics Computer Group,575Science Drive,Madison,Wis. For example, the percent identity of two sequences may be determined using the BLASTN or BLASTP algorithm commonly available at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) website.
The percent identity is obtained by determining the number of identical positions corresponding to the sequences to be compared, dividing this number by the number of positions compared (e.g., the number of positions in the reference sequence), and multiplying this result by 100. In some embodiments, the degree of identity is given to a region of at least about 50%, at least about 60%, at least about 70%, at least about 80%, at least about 90%, or about 100% of the entire length of the reference sequence. In some embodiments, the degree of identity is given to the entire length of the reference sequence. Alignment for determining sequence identity can be performed using tools known in the art, preferably using optimal sequence alignment, e.g., using Align, using standard settings, preferably EMBOSS:: needle, matrix: blosum62, gap Open 10.0, gap extension 0.5.
Herein, "nucleotide" includes deoxyribonucleotides and ribonucleotides and derivatives thereof. As used herein, "ribonucleotide" refers to a nucleotide that has a hydroxy group at the 2' -position of the β -D-ribofuranosyl group. "nucleotide" is generally referred to by the single letter representing the base therein: "A (a)" means deoxyadenylate or adenylate, "C (C)" means deoxycytidylate or cytidylate, "G (C)" means deoxyguanylate or guanylate, "U (U)" means uridylate, "T (T)" means deoxythymidylate.
As used herein, the terms "polynucleotide" and "nucleic acid" are used interchangeably to refer to a polymer of deoxyribonucleotides (deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA) or a polymer of ribonucleotides (ribonucleic acid, RNA). "Polynucleotide sequence", "nucleic acid sequence" and "nucleotide sequence" are used interchangeably to refer to the ordering of nucleotides in a polynucleotide.
As used herein, "codon" refers to three consecutive nucleotide sequences (also known as triplet codes) in a polynucleotide that encode a particular amino acid. Synonymous codons (codons encoding the same amino acid) are used differently in different species, termed "codon bias". It is generally believed that for a given species, coding sequences using codons that are favored by it can have higher translational efficiency and accuracy in the expression system of that species. Thus, a polynucleotide may be "codon optimized," i.e., codons in the polynucleotide are altered to reflect codons favored by the host cell, preferably without altering the amino acid sequence it encodes. A polynucleotide (e.g., mRNA) may comprise codons optimized for the host (e.g., subject, particularly human) cell such that it is optimally expressed in the host (e.g., subject, particularly human).
As used herein, the term "vector" refers to a vehicle for introducing nucleic acid into a host cell. Vectors may include expression vectors and cloning vectors. Generally, expression vectors contain the desired coding sequence and appropriate DNA sequences necessary for expression of the operably linked coding sequence in a particular host organism (e.g., bacteria, yeast, plant, insect or mammal) or in an in vitro expression system. Cloning vectors are generally used to engineer (perform recombinant DNA procedures) and amplify desired DNA fragments and may lack the functional sequences required to express the desired DNA sequences. Examples of vectors include, but are not limited to, plasmid, cosmid, phage (e.g., lambda phage) vectors, viral vectors (e.g., retroviral, adenoviral, or baculovirus vectors), or artificial chromosome (e.g., bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC), yeast Artificial Chromosome (YAC), or P1 Artificial Chromosome (PAC)) vectors.
As used herein, the term "expression" includes transcription and/or translation of a nucleotide sequence. Thus, expression may involve the production of transcripts and/or polypeptides. The term "transcription" relates to the process of transcribing the genetic code in a DNA sequence into RNA (transcript). The term "In vitro transcription" refers to the synthesis of RNA, in particular mRNA, in vitro In a cell-free system (e.g. In a suitable cell extract) (see e.g. Pardi n., muramatsu h., weissman d., karik et al (2013): in: rabinovich p. (eds) Synthetic Messenger RNA and Cell Metabolism modules In Molecular Biology (Methods and Protocols), vol 969.Humana Press,Totowa,NJ). The term "transcription" encompasses "in vitro transcription".
As used herein, "isolated" refers to a substance (e.g., a polynucleotide or polypeptide) that is separate from the source or environment in which it is present. The isolated polynucleotide or polypeptide may be present in a substantially pure form (e.g., in a composition), or may be present in a non-natural environment, e.g., a host cell. The mRNA as described herein may be isolated.
The term "naturally occurring" refers to the fact that an object may be found in nature. For example, polypeptides or polynucleotides that are present in organisms (including viruses) and that can be isolated from natural sources and that have not been intentionally modified by man in the laboratory are naturally occurring.
As used herein, the term "immunogenic" refers to being able to generate an immune response against an antigen in a host animal. The immune response forms the basis of protective immunity elicited by vaccines against specific infectious organisms.
As used herein, the term "recombinant" means produced by "genetic engineering. In general, recombinant molecules (e.g., recombinant proteins and recombinant nucleic acids) are non-naturally occurring. The mRNA as described herein may be a recombinant molecule.
The term "expressed on the cell surface" means that a molecule, such as an antigen, correlates with and is located on the plasma membrane of a cell, with at least a portion of the molecule facing the extracellular space and being accessible from the outside of the cell, e.g., by an antibody located outside the cell. In some embodiments, a polypeptide comprising a furin cleavage site inactivated as described herein is expressed at a higher level on the surface of a host cell than an S protein comprising an active furin cleavage site (e.g., a furin cleavage site having the amino acid sequence RRAR).
As used herein, the term "binding antibody" refers to an antibody or fragment thereof that is capable of recognizing and binding to a particular antigen. As used herein, the term "neutralizing antibody (NAb)" refers to an antibody or fragment thereof that is capable of neutralizing, i.e., preventing, inhibiting, reducing, or interfering with the ability of a pathogen to initiate and/or maintain an infection in a host (e.g., host organism or host cell). According to the invention, a binding or neutralizing antibody to SARS-CoV-2S protein or fragment thereof can be produced in a subject vaccinated with the vaccine compositions described herein, e.g., in the immune serum of the subject. The titer level of bound or neutralizing antibodies in immune serum can be measured using methods known in the art.
The term "antigen" refers to a substance comprising an epitope therein against which an immune response may be generated. In particular embodiments, the antigen may bind to a T cell epitope or T or B cell receptor, or to an immunoglobulin, such as an antibody.
In this context, "polypeptide antigen" refers to a polypeptide that is an antigen, including but not limited to the polypeptide antigen itself or processed products thereof (e.g., antigens that are processed and presented in vivo). According to the invention, the polypeptide encoded by the mRNA described herein, or a processed product thereof, may be a polypeptide antigen and induce an immune response as an antigen in a vaccine.
The term "transfection" relates to the introduction of a polynucleotide into a host cell. Host cells used to transfect the polynucleotides described herein may be present in vitro or in vivo. In some embodiments, the host cell may be a cell of a subject (particularly a patient, e.g., a patient infected with a novel coronavirus). Transfection may be transient or stable. In general, transient transfection does not involve integration into the host cell genome. Stable transfection may be achieved by transfection using viral or transposon based systems.
Coronavirus
As used herein, "severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2," "novel coronavirus," and "SARS-CoV-2" may be used interchangeably. SARS-CoV-2 is known to be the causative agent of "coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)".
SARS-CoV-2 is a plus-sense single-stranded RNA ((+) ssRNA) enveloped virus belonging to the genus beta of the family Coronaviridae. SARS-CoV-2 encodes 4 structural proteins: spike protein (S), envelope protein (E), membrane protein (M) and nucleocapsid protein (N). Among them, spike protein (S protein) mediates specific binding of virus to host cells and fusion of viral envelope with host cell membrane, and is thus a key molecule for virus infection of host cells.
As used herein, "SARS-CoV-2 spike protein", "spike", "SARS-CoV-2S protein" or "S protein" refers to a spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. SARS-CoV-2S protein is synthesized as a glycoprotein having about 1273-1300 amino acids (an exemplary amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO: 1) that comprises an N-terminal signal peptide, an S1 subunit and an S2 subunit. The S1 subunit comprises an N-terminal domain, a Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) and subdomains 1 and 2 (SD 1/2). The S2 subunit comprises Fusion Peptides (FP), heptad repeats HR1 and HR2, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain. For a description of SARS-CoV-2S protein see, e.g., huang Y et al, acta Pharmacol sin.2020;41 (9):1141-1149.
Studies have shown that RBD of the S1 subunit recognizes target host cells by binding to the specific receptor angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE 2), whereas the S2 subunit is responsible for membrane fusion. In the natural state, the S protein exists on the virus surface in a metastable pre-fusion trimer conformation. During infection, RBD binds to host cell receptors and host protease (e.g., furin) cleaves S1/S2 cleavage of S proteinCleavage sites disrupt the stability of the pre-fusion trimer, leading to shedding of the S1 subunit and conversion of the S2 subunit into a stable conformation after fusion. The Furin cleavage site is an exposed cyclic structure containing multiple arginine residues comprising the amino acid motif Arg-X aa -X bb -Arg (wherein X aa Is any amino acid; x is X bb Any amino acid, preferably Arg or Lys. The amino acid sequence of the Furin cleavage site in the S protein is Arg-Arg-Ala-Arg ("RRAR") corresponding to amino acids 682-685 of SEQ ID NO. 1.

Furthermore, the Furin cleavage site (corresponding to amino acids 682-685 of SEQ ID NO: 1) in the S protein variant 213 was mutated to "QSAQ" (Table 1).
TABLE 1
Note that: "-" means that the S protein variant does not comprise a mutation at that amino acid position; "+" indicates that the S protein variant contains the indicated mutation at that amino acid position.
1.2 design and Synthesis of DNA templates
The design and synthesis of DNA templates is described in CN113186203 a.
Briefly, a DNA Open Reading Frame (ORF) sequence encoding the S protein variant of example 1.1 was designed with codons optimized for optimal expression in human cells.

Example 4 evaluation of the ability of candidate mRNA vaccine formulations to induce neutralizing antibodies in mice
C57BL/6 mice (Shanghai Ling Biotechnology Co., ltd.) were immunized with LPP-mRNA 212 (vaccine 212) or LPP-mRNA 213 (vaccine 213) preparations prepared in example 3, 8 mice per group. Mice were immunized on day 0 (priming) and day 14 (secondary) by intramuscular injection, with a single immunization dose of 10 μg mRNA per mouse. Mouse immune sera were collected on day 14 (i.e., day 28) after the second immunization, and the titer level of neutralizing antibodies in the immune sera was assessed using a commercial wild-type or b.1.351 variant pseudovirus kit (beijing Tiantan pharmaceutical biotechnology development company; wild-type pseudovirus cat# 80033; b.1.351 variant pseudovirus cat# 80044).
The pseudovirus adopts plasmid for expressing wild type or B.1.351 SARS-CoV-2S protein to replace the plasmid for expressing VSV-G protein and carries luciferase reporter gene. When a pseudovirus is used to infect cells expressing ACE2 on their surface, the S protein binds to ACE2 thereby mediating entry of the pseudovirus into the cell, resulting in expression of luciferase. The ability of immune serum to inhibit pseudovirus infection of ACE2 expressing cells can be characterized as the inhibition rate, which can be calculated by the ratio of the decrease in the luminescence intensity of luciferase-catalyzed substrate luciferin from an immune serum sample compared to a positive control (e.g., a serum-free control). The S protein for wild-type pseudoviruses has the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO. 1. The S protein for the pseudovirus of the variant B.1.351 comprises the following mutations relative to SEQ ID NO: 1: amino acid substitutions L18F, D80A, D215G, K417N, E484K, N501Y, D G and a701V; and the deletion of amino acids 242-244.
Briefly, each group of immune sera was diluted 20, 60, 180, 540, 1620, and 4860 fold; adding pseudovirus to diluted immune serum or an equal volume of cell culture medium (as serum-free control) and incubating for 1 hour; subsequently adding an amount of Huh7 cells (human liver cancer cell line expressing endogenous hACE 2; ATCC) to the serum-pseudovirus mixture; after 24 hours, the supernatant was discarded, the cells were lysed and fluorescein was added; luminescence intensity (expressed as Relative Light Units (RLU)) was detected using a microplate reader (Bio-Rad Laboratories), background RLU of cell-only control was subtracted from sample RLU and calculatedInhibition ratio, inhibition ratio = [ (RLU) Serum-free control –RLU Cell-only control )–(RLU Immune serum –RLU Cell-only control )]/(RLU Serum-free control –RLU Cell-only control ) X 100%; the dilution-inhibition curves of the immune sera of each group were plotted, and the corresponding serum dilutions (ID 50 ) Shown is the average value.
The results of neutralization assays of immune serum against wild-type and b.1.351s protein pseudoviruses are shown in figures 2 and 3, respectively. For both pseudoviruses of wild type and b.1.351s proteins, vaccine 213-induced immune sera exhibited neutralizing capacity superior to that of their corresponding vaccine 212-induced immune sera, indicating that mutation of the Furin cleavage site to "QSAQ" significantly improved vaccine-induced immune responses against wild type SARS-CoV-2 strain and b.1.351 variant strain, respectively.

The mRNA vaccine used for heterologous booster immunization was the sw0123.351a vaccine prepared as in example 3.
The present study has been completedIs approved by the local ethical committee of the eastern hospitals of the university of Shanghai, china and is carried out according to the declaration of the principle of Helsinki. Two subjects were included in the study and given written informed consent. Subject 1 is male and subject 2 is female, all ages between 50-55 years. These two subjects received two doses of Kevefu at 4 week (28 day) intervals (8.17 and 9.10 in 2020) in phase I clinical trial with inactivated vaccine against COVID-19 (clinical Trial. Gov: NCT 04412538) TM (100 EU per dose). About 7 months after the second inactivated vaccine immunization (2021, 4, 8 days), both subjects received one dose of swa23.351 a vaccine (25 μg mRNA) as a booster. Figure 4 shows a schematic of a heterologous prime/boost vaccination regimen.
Peripheral venous blood was collected in EDTA vacuum tubes or Vacutainer blood pigs (BD) before and after booster immunization for preparation of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) and serum samples, respectively. PBMC were isolated using Ficoll-Pague PLUS density gradient solution (GE Healthcare). To compare the antibody responses, serum collected from 15 convalescent covd-19 patients was evaluated using the same method. These patients had PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection 1-3 months prior to sample collection.
Experimental method
Measurement of bound IgG
The titer of binding IgG specific for the Spike protein in the pre-fusion conformation (referred to as "pre-fusion Spike" or "pre-fusion S") and the Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) was assessed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Briefly, pre-antigen fusion Spike or RBD (Genscript) diluted in coating buffer (Biolegend) was coated in 96-well plates (Greiner Bio-One) at a concentration of 100 ng/well and incubated overnight at 4 ℃. The 96-well plates were then washed with PBS (PBST) containing 0.05% Tween-20 and blocked with 2% Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) for 2 hours at 25 ℃. Subsequently, serum samples serially diluted in PBST (containing 0.2% BSA) were added to the plate and incubated for 2 hours at 25 ℃. After washing the plates with PBST, HRP-conjugated sheep anti-human IgG (1:50,000) was added and incubated for 1 hour at 25 ℃. Finally TMB substrate was added for color development, and the absorbance at 450nm was read (corrected by subtracting the absorbance at 610 nm). The endpoint titer was calculated as the emitted Optical Density (OD) value above 2.1 x background. When the background OD value was less than 0.05, the calculation was performed at 0.05.
Measurement of neutralizing antibodies
pVNT assays were performed as previously reported (Nie J et al Emerg Microbes effect 2020; 9:680-6), in which Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (VSV) expressing SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (strain Wuhan-Hu-1) was used to Infect ACE 2-expressing Huh7 cells.
ELISA spot (ELISPot) assay
The frequency of different types of antigen-specific T cells was quantified by ELISPot assay using human IFN-gamma, IL-2 or IL-21ELISPotplus kit (Mabtech, sweden) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Before detection, 3×10 5 The PBMC were stimulated with the spike protein extracellular domain (S-ECD) (10. Mu.g/ml) for 20 hours. Spots were visualized with BCIP/NBT substrate solution and counted by Immunospot S6 analyzer (CTL).
Memory B cell analysis
The frequency of spike-protein specific memory B cells was assessed by flow cytometry. For probe preparation, biotinylated spike proteins were conjugated with PE or APC labeled Streptavidin (strepitavidin) in a 4:1 molar ratio. First, 10 will be 6 The individual PBMC were incubated with the probe for 20 min at 4℃and then LIVE +.Aqua can be stained with the fixed dead cell staining kit (BD) and the antibody mixture at 4 ℃ for 20 minutes in the dark. Finally, memory B cells were examined by FACS canto (tm) II flow cytometer (BD Biosciences). Data was analyzed using FlowJo v.10.1 (Tree Star). The antibody mixture contained the following fluorescently labeled antibodies: anti-human CD3 Ab (clone: SP 34-2), anti-human CD8 Ab (clone: RPA-T8), anti-human CD14 Ab (clone: M5E 2), anti-human CD16 Ab (clone: 3G 8), anti-human CD20 Ab (clone: 2), anti-human IgM Ab (clone: G20-127) and anti-human IgG Ab (clone: G18-145).
Results
The magnitude and kinetics of antibody (Ab) responses in two subjects were first assessed. On the day of booster vaccination (day 0), as expected, low Spike-specific IgG levels could be detected, which is a consequence of the persistence of responsiveness generated by the priming inactivated vaccine.
Serum samples from subjects were collected before (day 0) and after (days 7, 14 and 21) booster vaccination with mRNA vaccine sw0123.351a, and the binding and neutralizing antibody levels were detected by ELISA assay and pseudovirus neutralization test (pnnt), respectively, and the results are shown in fig. 5A and 5B.
The results showed that IgG levels against Pre-fusion Spike (Pre-fusion S) and RBD showed rapid and robust increases after boost immunization (fig. 5A). IgG levels peaked on day 14, reaching reciprocal titers of 51200 in both subjects. Whereas the geometric mean titers of conjugated IgG (GMT) from convalescent sera of COIVD-19 patients were 7699 (pre-fusion Spike) and 4032 (RBD), respectively. In other words, on day 14 after booster immunization, the titers of the two bound antibodies were 6.7 and 12.7 times the serological level of the recovered patients within 3 months after infection, respectively.
Consistent with the significant increase in bound IgG levels, the level of neutralizing antibodies (NAb) measured by pVNT increased significantly after boost immunization, and reached IC of 2457 on day 14 50 Titer (fig. 5B). Whereas neutralizing antibodies IC from convalescent serum of COIVD-19 patients 50 The titer was 325. That is, on day 14 post boost immunization, the subject serum had 7.6 times the neutralizing antibody titer than convalescent serum.
The phenotype and magnitude of Spike-specific T cells were also analyzed. Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) from the subjects were isolated before (day 0) and after (day 14) booster immunization, and secretion of Spike protein-specific T cells IFN-. Gamma., IL-2 and IL-21 was detected by ELISPot assay, and the results are shown in FIG. 6.
The results show that both subjects had low levels of IFN-gamma secreting T cells that reacted with SARS-CoV-2 antigen as part of the response to the prime-vaccinated inactivated vaccine prior to boost vaccination (day 0). Following stimulation with the antigen S-ECD protein, T cells secreting IFN- γ or IL-2 increased, indicating that mRNA vaccine boosters significantly activated antigen-specific Th1 type cellular immune responses (fig. 6). In contrast, no or very few IL-4 secreting T cells were detected (data not shown). In addition, strong induction of IL-21 secreting T cells was observed (FIG. 6). The presence of IL-21 suggests that the follicular helper T (Tfh) cell response may be responsible for the production of memory B cells and high quality antibodies by mRNA vaccine boosters (fig. 5A, 5B and 7).
Successful vaccination should be able to elicit strong immunological memory, which can respond immediately after secondary antigen exposure. Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) of the subjects were isolated before (day 0) and after (days 7 and 21) booster immunization, and Spike-specific memory B cell levels were detected by flow cytometry, and the results are shown in fig. 7.
The results showed that a small amount of Spike-specific IgG was still detectable in the blood circulation of both subjects 7 months after the second dose of inactivated vaccine (day 0) + Memory B cells (fig. 7), indicating induction and maintenance of antigen-specific memory B cells. After booster vaccination (days 7 and 21), the apparent increase in specific memory B cells demonstrated further expansion of the Spike-specific memory B cell pool (fig. 7), indicating that sw0123.351a single-needle booster vaccination was able to significantly increase memory B cell levels.
