Background
The current and popular new type of coronavirus pneumonia (covd-19) has changed the world in an unprecedented way, and brings great threat to the life and property safety of people and great challenge to the social and economic development. The main sources of infection for the novel coronaviruses are diagnosed patients and asymptomatic infected persons, which are transmitted from person to person mainly by respiratory droplets and aerosols, however, studies have also shown that SARS-CoV-2 can be transmitted by contaminated objects. SARS-CoV-2 incubation period is 1-14 days, most 3-7 days, and there is infectivity in incubation period. About 81% of patients with COVID-19 have mild symptoms after SARS-CoV-2 infection; about 14% of patients have severe symptoms such as dyspnea, high respiratory rate, low in vivo blood oxygen saturation; about 5% of patients, particularly those over 60 years old or with other diseases, often progress to criticality; about 3.4% of patients die from respiratory failure or multiple organ failure. Therefore, early, rapid and accurate identification of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 and timely treatment of patients are important to prevent continuous transmission of viruses.
SARS-CoV-2 is assigned to a new species of the genus beta coronavirus, which has a homology of 79.6% with SARS coronavirus. SARS-CoV-2 genome is 29.8-29.9 kb linear non-segmented single-stranded positive strand RNA, comprising 14 open reading frames, with the typical morphological and genomic characteristics of coronaviruses. SARS-CoV-2 is composed mainly of 4 structural proteins, which play an important role in viral assembly and infection of the host: spike protein S is responsible for binding to host cell receptors, membrane protein M maintains the basic morphology of the virion, envelope protein E is involved in viral assembly, release and pathogenesis, nucleocapsid protein N binds viral genomic RNA in different forms, wherein S protein and N protein are their major antigenic proteins. SARS-CoV-2 is the seventh human coronavirus (HCoV) known to be responsible for human disease, and the other six types of HCoVs include HCoV-NL63, HCoV-229E, HCoV-OC43, HCoV-HKU1, SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, where SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV, and MERS-CoV are considered highly pathogenic. In fact, although the mortality rate of COVID-19 is lower than that of SARS and MERS, the number of infections and deaths of COVID-19 is much higher than that of SARS and MERS.
Currently, there are four main methods for detecting SARS-CoV-2 infection: (1) Isolating a virus, such as a Vero cell culture, by inoculating a biological sample of a patient into the cell culture, which requires biosafety class 3 laboratory facilities; (2) Molecular biology techniques such as reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), loop-mediated isothermal amplification, clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR), and high throughput sequencing, are powerful tools for the discovery of pathogens; (3) Serological detection, antigen and antibody detection by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and immunofiltration, immunochromatography and chemiluminescent immunoassay; (4) Antigen detection with antibodies specific for SARS-CoV-2 antigen.
In general, the human immune system is able to elicit humoral and cellular immune responses and gradually control infection and eliminate viruses when infected by the virus. When viremia occurs in early infection, virus nucleic acid can be detected from serum and nasal and pharyngeal secretions of patients, so that the nucleic acid detection is very suitable for early infection, but the nucleic acid detection method is complex, long in time consumption and high in infection risk of detection personnel, and is not suitable for rapid detection of a basic layer and a site. In addition, specific IgM starts to be produced in patients about 7 days after the infection of the novel coronavirus, and specific IgG starts to be produced 14 days after the infection, so that the antibody detection reagent is not suitable for detection of the early stage of the infection of the novel coronavirus, and a high false negative rate exists. In the new coronavirus antigen detection reagent products, most of the detection reagent products are a colloidal gold method and a latex method, N protein of a single new coronavirus is mainly used as a target antigen, the sensitivity is 75-98%, and certain false negative conditions exist. Thus, the use of a novel coronaantibody recognizing a plurality of structural protein epitopes of a novel coronavirus is expected to increase the sensitivity of detection of the novel coronavirus.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to develop a novel coronavirus polyclonal antibody which is used for detecting antigens of novel coronaviruses. Of the four structural proteins of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), spike protein S and nucleocapsid protein N have multiple epitopes, wherein the receptor binding domain fragment (RBD) on the S protein more directly mediates the binding of viral particles to the host cell receptor angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE-2), which induces the body to produce multiple specific antibodies; in addition, previous studies on human coronaviruses have found that deletion of the envelope protein E results in attenuation of the virus, indicating that the E protein is also a potential target for antiviral and vaccine design. Therefore, these three structural proteins are ideal proteins for developing novel crown polyclonal antibodies and antigen detection reagents.
After analysis by software, a novel coronavirus epitope chimeric protein sequence was designed, comprising an extracellular region fragment (16 amino acids in length) of SARS-CoV-2 envelope protein E, an N-terminal fragment (177 amino acids in length) of nucleocapsid protein N, and a receptor binding domain RBD fragment (223 amino acids in length) of spike protein S. The chimeric protein sequence has 422 amino acids in total length and 46.52kD molecular weight, and is expressed in the form of inclusion bodies through an escherichia coli prokaryotic expression system by using pET-28a (+) as a carrier plasmid, and the novel coronavirus multi-antigen epitope chimeric protein is obtained after purification and gradient dialysis renaturation through denaturation, nickel ion chelation and chromatography-imidazole gradient elution methods. The chimeric Protein is used as an immunogen to be matched with Freund's adjuvant to immunize New Zealand white rabbits to prepare rabbit-derived polyclonal antibodies, the polyclonal antibodies capable of recognizing a plurality of structural Protein epitopes of the new coronavirus are obtained through Protein A column purification, the prepared polyclonal antibody is used for developing a double-antibody sandwich ELISA detection method, the lowest detection limit and the specificity of the method are evaluated after the dilution combination of the optimal capture antibody and the detection antibody, the optimal blocking liquid type and the optimal blocking time are determined, and the influence of the storage condition of a sample on the lowest detection limit of the method is compared.
