Description

Preparation and application of novel coronavirus mutant universal vaccine cRBD
Technical Field
The application belongs to the technical field of biology, and particularly relates to preparation and application of a novel coronavirus mutant universal vaccine cRBD.
Background
The new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is continuously transmitted in the population, so that new mutant strains are continuously appeared, and the large number of mutations of the mutant strains in the S protein region, especially RBD (Receptor binding domain) region, can not identify the neutralizing antibodies induced by the existing vaccine, so that the protection efficacy is lost, therefore, the development of a general vaccine capable of generating broad-spectrum protection efficacy against various mutant strains is urgently needed. The prior technical proposal mainly comprises: the inactivated vaccine is prepared by inactivating SARS-CoV-2 virus, and the preparation of the live virus requires repeated inactivation verification, has slow update times, does not have broad spectrum, and is difficult to cope with viruses with higher mutation frequency; mRNA vaccine is prepared into RNA preparation by utilizing RNA sequence design of virus protein, has large side effect, lower safety coefficient than other vaccines, needs a complex delivery system and is difficult to aim at the newly-developed strain; the recombinant protein vaccine directly expresses virus proteins by using an expression system, can be even designed into multivalent or multimeric vaccine, can simultaneously prevent a plurality of strains, but the multimeric protein can not completely display the whole appearance of the antigen after being folded, and is still difficult to cope with the newly-appearing strains; the different mutant strains are used for chimeric recombination of S protein structural domains and mutant reconstruction of recombinant protein vaccines, repeated screening and verification are needed, the protectiveness is difficult to determine, the working procedure is complex, and the cost is high.
There are many studies showing that multivalent or multimeric vaccines combining RBD or S proteins from different mutants have significantly improved protective efficacy against omacron and other variants. However, in previous studies we found that vaccines developed based on the omacron RBD protein containing the most variant mutation sites were very low in immunogenicity. The university of Xiamen team Xia Ningshao adopts a strategy of pedigree chimeric-mutation patch, namely, different mutant strains are selected for chimeric recombination and mutation transformation of the structural domain of the S protein, and the optimal combination is selected to realize wider antigen coverage. Based on the research and the discovery, we hypothesize whether the characteristic mutation sites of different strains can realize broad-spectrum antigen coverage by directly adopting a mutation transformation method on an original RBD sequence, based on the method, we design a plurality of brand-new transformation RBD sequences, and the RBD vaccine is expressed and purified by adopting a prokaryotic mode to immunize Balb/c mice and is detected by adopting a real and false virus neutralization experiment to immunize the mice so as to generate a neutralization antibody level, thereby solving the problem of insufficient broad-spectrum property of the existing vaccine, improving the broad-spectrum property of the vaccine and enabling the RBD vaccine to cope with the immune escape problem of the newly-appearing variant strain in the future.

The effect achieved by the embodiment 1 of the application is verified:
1. the pER-28a prokaryotic expression vector is used for successfully expressing cRBD1 protein in BL21 (DE 3) competent cells, recovering the protein after washing, ultrasonic crushing, dissolving and filtering of inclusion bodies, diluting the protein by renaturation buffer solution for renaturation, purifying the protein by a protein purifier, and finally, detecting and identifying by RBD specific antibody.
As can be seen from FIG. 2, coomassie brilliant blue (Solebao (C8430)) staining was performed according to conventional procedures, and the results showed that the expressed and purified cRBD1 protein was of correct size and relatively single, whereas WB experiments showed that the RBD protein could be recognized by RBD specific antibodies and the size was consistent with the RBD standard, indicating that we successfully expressed and purified the cRBD1 protein.
2. The RBD binding antibody titer of serum BA.2 was significantly increased after the cRBD-1 immunization of BALB/c mice: immunization was performed three times at 0d,21d and 42d, respectively.
As can be seen in fig. 3, RBD-specific binding antibodies to ba.2 were generated with post-one-shot 14d serum, whereas post-two-shot and three-shot 14d (d 35 and d 56) significantly increased their serum binding antibody levels.
After cRBD-1 immunization, certain serum neutralizing antibodies are generated for different strains
As can be seen from fig. 4, the post-two-exemption 14d (35 d) and the post-three-exemption 14d (56 d) both generate higher neutralizing antibodies against strains such as Prototype, alpha, beta, ba.1, ba.2 and the like, and also generate certain neutralizing antibodies against newly-appeared strains such as ba.5 and XBB, but the strains such as ba.5 and XBB do not appear yet in the sequence design, which indicates that the vaccine has protection potential against variant strains which do not appear yet besides the protection effect on the strains appearing in the past.
A certain serum neutralizing antibody is also generated on the newly developed pseudoviruses with different strains after the cRBD1 is immunized
As can be seen from the graph, the post-di-exemption 14d (35 d) and the post-tri-exemption 14d (56 d) both generate high neutralizing antibodies against BF.7 and BQ.1.1 pseudoviruses, and also generate certain neutralizing antibodies against XBB.1.16 and CH.1.1, so that the vaccine has the protection potential against variant strains which do not appear.
Protective effect of cRBD1 vaccine on Omacron BA.5 variant after immunization of BALB/c mice
Results of changes in body temperature, body weight, and nasal/pharyngeal swab following Omicron BA.5 challenge
As shown in fig. 6, both the body weight and body temperature fluctuation range of the cRBD1 vaccine immunized high dose and low dose groups after challenge with the ba.5 variant were smaller than those of the control group; both nasal and pharyngeal swabs had lower viral loads than the control group. It is demonstrated that the vaccine can improve and alleviate clinical symptoms after virus infection.
Lung, turbinate and trachea viral load detection result after virus attack
As shown in fig. 7, the high and low dose groups immunized with crbd1 vaccine had significantly lower viral genome viral loads (gRNA) in lung, tracheal and turbinate tissues after 5dpi challenge with the ba.5 variant than the model control group; subgenomic viral load (sgRNA), representing the level of new coronavirus replication, was undetectable in lung tissue and organ tissue, with lower levels detected in turbinate tissue, indicating that new coronavirus ba.5 had stopped replication in the first two respiratory tissues above, and lower levels in turbinate tissue. It is demonstrated that the vaccine can significantly reduce and inhibit the replication of viruses in the upper and lower respiratory tracts of the respiratory system after immunization.
Lung pathology detection result of 5dpi
As shown in fig. 8 and 9, the high-dose and low-dose groups immunized with the crbd1 vaccine had significantly lower lung tissue pathological injury scores than the model control group after 5dpi challenge with the ba.5 variant, and had a certain dose-dependence on the pathological injury protection of lung tissue. The vaccine can obviously reduce the pathological damage degree of virus infection to lung tissues after immunization, and the effect of high dose is obviously better than that of low dose.
In combination, the application designs 1 brand newThe modified RBD sequence is expressed and purified in a prokaryotic mode, and then Balb/c mice are immunized and the level of neutralizing antibodies is generated after the RBD vaccine is used for detecting the mice immunized by using a real and pseudovirus neutralization experiment. It was found that mice developed neutralizing antibodies to different mutants (Alpha, beta, delta, omacron) after three immunizations, wherein the average neutralizing antibody titer against omacron ba.1, ba.2 mutants was 10 3 -10 4 Average neutralizing antibody titre against Omicron ba.5 mutant was 10 2 -10 3 While the first synthetic RBD sequence was designed to be completed before the ba.5 mutant appeared. This demonstrates that the designed vaccine has a certain immunogenicity and the produced antibodies have a broad spectrum, can produce a neutralizing effect on newly emerging variants such as Omicron, and suggests that the vaccine may have protective efficacy on various variants, demonstrating the potential of the vaccine as a general type SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.
