Description

Novel coronavirus T cell epitope peptide and application thereof in preparation of vaccine
The application is a divisional application of an invention patent application of which the application date is 2022, 2, 24 and the application number is 2022101769472, and the invention is named as a novel coronavirus T cell epitope peptide and application of the novel coronavirus T cell epitope peptide in preparation of vaccines.
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biology, in particular to a novel coronavirus T cell epitope polypeptide and application thereof in preparing vaccines.
Background
Currently, the global inoculation of novel coronavirus vaccine injection reaches 92 hundred million doses. Currently, vaccination remains the best and only tool to control epidemic spread. However, as new coronavirus variants continue to emerge, a number of new coronavirus variants can escape through immunization and continue to infect people who have been vaccinated with new coronavaccines, establishing an effective population immune barrier through vaccine immunization being the central means.
The universal vaccine is a broad-spectrum vaccine which can effectively protect the immune crowd even after the virus antigen is mutated. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a general vaccine and a broad-spectrum therapeutic drug that can still provide effective immune protection to vaccine immunized populations after various variants of viruses occur.
According to the research on coronaviruses such as SARS with higher homology, the T cell immune response plays an important role in the antiviral defense of the organism after virus infection and in the pathological damage process of the organism immunity, in particular to CD8 + T cells, which remained after 11 years of antigen-specific immune activity, demonstrated CD8 + T cell immunityThe important role of epidemic response in the immune defenses against coronaviruses and its important role in vaccine development. CD8 + The first step in the immune response of T cells is the specific recognition of epitope peptides presented by the virus-infected cells by T cells through their surface antigen recognition receptors. Therefore, the epitope peptide is an important key molecule for specifically recognizing viruses and playing an immune protection role by T cells, and is a key targeting molecule for immunodetection, immunotherapy and vaccine development.
CD8 + T cells recognize pMHC activation through T Cell Receptors (TCRs), kill virus-infected cells, and eliminate viruses, thereby exerting an antiviral cellular immune effect. Therefore, the identification of the epitope peptide capable of effectively activating the T cells and inducing effective T cell immune protection after the virus antigen is mutated is one of the keys for developing novel crown general vaccine and broad-spectrum therapeutic drugs.
Immune escape is the antagonism, blocking and suppression of the immune response of the body by immunosuppressive pathogens through their structural and non-structural products. The novel coronavirus, because of frequent and sustained mutation, produces a large number of variants, which seriously threatens the immune barrier effect of the vaccine.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to overcome the defect that a T cell epitope peptide for a novel coronavirus general vaccine and application thereof are not developed in the field of novel coronaviruses in the prior art, and provides a novel coronavirus T cell epitope peptide and application thereof in preparing vaccines; it can assemble into pMHC complex with HLA-A2 heavy chain and HLA-A2 light chain beta 2m protein; or directly loaded to antigen presenting cells, can activate T cells, effectively induce T cell immunity, avoid immune escape of mutant strains, and can detect specific CD8+ T cells in both new coronavirus vaccinators and rehabilitators, thereby being applicable to research and development of novel coronavirus general vaccines, preparation, drug research and development and clinical treatment.
The first object of the invention is to provide a novel coronavirus T cell epitope peptide.
The second object of the invention is to provide a novel coding gene of coronavirus T cell epitope peptide.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is realized by the following means:
T2-A2 is an antigen presenting cell line expressing human MHC class I molecule HLa-A2 by recombinant genetic engineering techniques. Only effective epitope peptides can be presented, so that a stable pMHC complex is formed on the cell surface, and therefore, the antigen peptide can be used as artificial antigen presenting cells for stimulating T cells.
T cell epitope peptides alone cannot work and must be activated in the manner of pMHC complexes or antigen peptide-antigen presenting cell complexes. The invention utilizes MHC monomer and identified novel coronavirus T cell epitope to carry out joint renaturation, thus preparing the pMHC complex. The identified novel coronavirus T cell epitope peptide is loaded on the surface of antigen presenting cells (T2-A2 cells), antigen peptide-antigen presenting cell complexes are prepared, then the prepared pMHC complexes are used for labeling T cells, the antigen epitope peptide can be found to effectively activate T cells in peripheral blood of healthy people, and compared with the antigen epitope peptide of an original virus strain, the variant strain can increase the activation capacity of the T cells and can also effectively kill target cells carrying novel coronavirus antigens. The pMHC complex with the PE fluorescent channel assembled by the T cell epitope peptide can be detected in both new crown vaccine inoculators and rehabilitators. The novel coronavirus T cell epitope peptide found newly can effectively induce T cell immunity, avoid immune escape of mutant strain, and can be used as general vaccine or applied to immunotherapy and the like.
