Description
Cross Reference to Related Applications
The present application claims the benefit of chinese patent application 202110838359.6 filed on month 07 and 23 of 2021, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The invention relates to the field of molecular vaccinology, and relates to preparation and application of a recombinant multivalent novel coronavirus trimer protein vaccine capable of inducing broad-spectrum neutralization activity.
The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has strong transmission capability, and the safe and effective vaccine is the most powerful technical means for controlling epidemic situation. Vaccines can be classified into the following categories, depending on the target and technology: inactivated vaccines, recombinant protein vaccines, viral vector vaccines, RNA vaccines, live attenuated vaccines, and virus-like particle vaccines. Since the pandemic of SARS-CoV-2, new crown vaccines developed in various countries have reached more than 200. By day 18 of 7 of 2021, 16 vaccines have been approved or conditionally used, and 92 more vaccines have entered the clinical study (https:// www.covid-19vaccinetracker. Org/# protein-subset).
SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV share a common host cell receptor protein, angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE 2) (Zhou, P., et al, discovery of a novel coronavirus associated with the recent pneumonia outbreak in humans and its potential bat origin. BioRxiv, 2020.). The trimeric Spike protein (Spike) of the virus binds to the ACE2 receptor and is cleaved by host proteases into an S1 polypeptide comprising a receptor binding domain (Receptor binding domain, RBD) and an S2 polypeptide responsible for mediating fusion of the virus to cell membranes (Hoffmann, m., et al, SARS-CoV-2 cell entry depends on ACE2 and TMPRSS2 and is blocked by a clinically proven protease inhibitor.Cell,2020.). The S protein is the main component of the viral envelope and plays an important role in receptor binding, fusion, viral entry and host immune defenses. The RBD region of the S protein contains a major neutralizing antibody epitope that stimulates B cells to produce high titer neutralizing antibodies against RBD. In addition, the S protein also contains abundant T cell epitopes, and can induce T cells to generate specific CTL responses and clear virus infected cells. Thus, the S protein is the most critical antigen for new coronal vaccine design. Most vaccines currently designed select either the S protein or the RBD domain protein as the core immunogen.
SARS-CoV-2 is an RNA single-stranded virus, which is subject to deletion mutations and such mutations occur in repeated deletion regions of the S protein (Recurrent deletion regions, RDRs). Deletions or mutations may alter the conformation of the S protein such that antibodies induced by previous vaccine immunization reduce binding and neutralization of the mutant S protein resulting in reduced vaccine immunization effects and viral immune escape. Early D614G mutations (B.1) enhanced the affinity of the S protein for the ACE2 receptor and became a rapidly prevalent strain, but did not reduce the sensitivity to neutralizing antibodies (Korber, B., et al, spike mutation pipeline reveals the emergence of a more transmissible form of SARS-CoV-2.BioRxiv,2020: p.2020.04.29.069054; korber, B., et al, tracking Changes in SARS-CoV-2 Spike:Evidence that D614G Increases Infectivity of the COVID-19 viruses.cell, 2020.182 (4): p.812-827.e19.). However, with the pandemic of SARS-CoV-2, 4 variants of high concern (Variants of Concern, VOC) appear worldwide: alpha (B.1.1.7), beta (B.1.351), gamma (P.1) and Delta (B.1.617.2) and various attention variants (Variants of Interest, VOI): eta (B.1.525), iota (B.1.526), kappa (B.1.617.1) and Lambda (C.37). Studies have shown that these high risk strains can increase transmissibility, exacerbate disease progression (increase hospitalization or mortality), severely reduce antibody neutralization by past infections or immunizations, reduce therapeutic or vaccine efficacy, or disable diagnostic assays (https:/www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/variant-surveillance/variant-info.h tml). Alpha (b.1.1.7) spreads rapidly and increases the risk of 61% related death (Davies, n.g., et al Increased mortality in community-tested cases of SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.1.7.Nature,2021). The neutralization effect study results show that the neutralization ability of the convalescent plasma or vaccine immunized serum to Alpha (B.1.1.7) strain remains substantially unchanged, while the neutralization ability to Beta (B.1.351) strain is greatly reduced (Cele, S., et al, escape of SARS-CoV-2 501Y.V2 from neutralization by convalescent plasma.2021.; zhou, D., et al, evidence of Escape of SARS-CoV-2 variant B.1.351 from natural and vaccine-reduced sera.cell,2021.; tada, T., 2021).https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.02.05.430003The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the Wang, p., et al, increased Resistance of SARS-CoV-2 Variants B.1.351 and B.1.1.7 to Antibody Neutralization.bioRxiv,2021; wadman, M.and J.Cohen,2021.https:// doi.org/10.1136/bmj.n296; wu, k., et al, mRNA-1273 vaccine induces neutralizing antibodies against spike mutants from global SARS-CoV-2 derivatives.2021. Clinical results also show that Alpha (B.1.1.7) strain has little effect on the protective effect of the vaccine, while Beta (B.1.351) strain significantly reduces the protective effect against light diseases (Madhi, S.A., et al, efficacy of the ChAdOx nCoV-19 Covid-19Vaccine against the B.1.351 Variant.2021, shinde, V, et al, efficiency of NVX-CoV2373 Covid-19Vaccine against the B.1.351 Variant.New England Journal of Medicine,2021, abu-Raddad, L.J., H.Chemaitelly, and A.A. button, effectiveness of the BNT b2 Covid-19Vaccine against the B.1.1.7 and B.1.351 Variants.2021, karim, S.S.A., vaccines and SARS-CoV-2 variants:the urgent need for a correlate of protection.Lancet,2021.397 (10281): p.1263-1264. Compared with original virus and early variant strain, delta (B.1.617.2) strain has stronger transmission capacity of variation, short latency period and fast disease development, is transmitted to more than 90 countries or regions at present, and becomes a global epidemic strain. A preliminary study by the Israel health department shows that Delta is strong in transmission capacity and can seriously impair the effect of vaccine, bioNTech&psimRNThe effectiveness of the full vaccinators of the A vaccine against Delta variant strains was reduced from 94% to 64%. The current vaccines are designed based on the sequence of early epidemic strains (genome sequence: genBank Accession No. NC_ 045512), and in view of the high transmissibility of variant strains and adverse effects on the protective effect of the existing vaccines, there is an urgent need for second-generation vaccines with broad-spectrum properties and high protective effect on high-risk variant strains.

Definition of the definition
Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. For the purposes of the present invention, the following terms are further defined.
As used herein and in the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," "the," and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
The terms "comprising," "including," and "containing" are intended to include the specific components without excluding any other components. Such as "consisting essentially of … …" allows for the inclusion of other components or steps that do not detract from the novel or essential features of the invention, i.e., they exclude other non-recited components or steps that do. The term "consisting of … …" is meant to include a particular ingredient or ingredients and exclude all other ingredients.
The term "antigen" refers to a foreign substance recognized (specifically bound) by an antibody or T cell receptor, but which does not definitively induce an immune response. Foreign substances that induce specific immunity are called "immunogenic antigens" or "immunogens". "hapten" refers to an antigen that is not itself capable of eliciting an immune response (although a conjugate of several molecular haptens, or a conjugate of a hapten and a macromolecular carrier, may elicit an immune response).
A "humoral immune response" is an antibody-mediated immune response and involves the introduction and generation of antibodies that recognize and bind with some affinity to antigens in the immunogenic compositions of the invention, a "cell-mediated immune response" being an immune response mediated by T cells and/or other leukocytes. A "cell-mediated immune response" is induced by providing an epitope associated with a class I or class II molecule of the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC), CD1 or other atypical MHC-like molecule.
The term "immunogenic composition" refers to any pharmaceutical composition containing an antigen, such as a microorganism or component thereof, which composition can be used to elicit an immune response in an individual.
"immunogenicity" as used herein means the ability of an antigen (or epitope of an antigen), such as a coronavirus spinous process protein receptor binding region or an immunogenic composition, to elicit a humoral or cell-mediated immune response or both in a host (e.g., a mammal).
"protective" immune response refers to the ability of an immunogenic composition to elicit a humoral or cell-mediated immune response, or both, for protecting an individual from infection. The protection provided need not be absolute, i.e., it need not completely prevent or eradicate the infection, so long as there is a statistically significant improvement over a control population of individuals (e.g., infected animals that are not administered a vaccine or immunogenic composition). Protection may be limited to alleviating the severity of symptoms of infection or rapidity of onset.
"immunogenic amount" and "immunologically effective amount" are used interchangeably herein to refer to an amount of antigen or immunogenic composition sufficient to elicit an immune response (cellular (T cell) or humoral (B cell or antibody) response or both, as measured by standard assays known to those of skill in the art).
The effectiveness of an antigen as an immunogen may be measured, for example, by a proliferation assay, by a cytolytic assay, or by measuring the level of B cell activity.
The terms "polypeptide" and "protein" are used interchangeably herein to refer to a polymer of consecutive amino acid residues.
The terms "nucleic acid", "nucleotide" and "polynucleotide" are used interchangeably to refer to RNA, DNA, cDNA or cRNA and derivatives thereof, such as those containing a modified backbone. It is to be understood that the present invention provides polynucleotides comprising sequences complementary to the sequences described herein. "Polynucleotide" as contemplated in the present invention includes forward strands (5 'to 3') and reverse complementary strands (3 'to 5'). Polynucleotides according to the invention may be prepared in different ways (e.g., by chemical synthesis, by gene cloning, etc.), and may take various forms (e.g., linear or branched, single-or double-stranded, or hybrids thereof, primers, probes, etc.).
The term "immunogenic protein/peptide" includes polypeptides having immunological activity in the sense that upon administration to a host they are capable of eliciting an immune response against the humoral and/or cellular type of the protein. Thus, a protein fragment according to the invention comprises or essentially consists of at least one epitope or antigenic determinant. As used herein, an "immunogenic" protein or polypeptide includes the full-length sequence of a protein, an analog thereof, or an immunogenic fragment thereof. An "immunogenic fragment" refers to a fragment of a protein that contains one or more epitopes, thereby eliciting an immune response as described above.
The term "immunogenic protein/peptide" also encompasses deletions, additions and substitutions to the sequence, provided that the polypeptide functions to produce an immune response as defined herein, i.e. "immunogenic variants".
The SCTV01C recombinant protein vaccine provided by the invention is modified based on an extracellular domain (ECD, containing S1 and S2 parts) of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. The known natural spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 is a trimeric structure, and during its production and infection function, the membrane fusion process is completed by cleavage by proteases in the Golgi apparatus and on the cell surface through the RRAR site present between S1 and S2, followed by S1 shedding, and further the S2 structure is converted from the precision conformation to the postfusion conformation, thus completing the membrane fusion (Cai, Y., J.Zhang, and T.Xaao, distinct conformational states of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.2020.369 (6511): p.1586-1592.).
In order to obtain ECD trimers in stable precision conformation, the present invention was modified based on S protein of different strain variants in three parts (see Table 1):
1) It has now been found that antibodies with higher neutralizing activity bind to both the S1 region (specifically to the NTD and RBD regions in S1). The S1 part is kept intact, and is important for the generation of neutralizing antibodies induced by the novel crown vaccine. The Furin site is removed by modification in the SCTV01C recombinant protein vaccine, namely, the amino acid sequence from 679 to 688 is fixed to NSPGSASSVA, so that the possibility of S1 fracture and shedding is reduced.
2) Because of the allosteric propensity of S2 itself, the precision conformation of spike protein is unstable, while effective induction of neutralizing antibodies requires maintenance of the precision conformation stable, which has been demonstrated in RSV and HIV-1 vaccine studies (McLellan, J.S., et al, structure-based design of a fusion glycoprotein vaccine for respiratory syncytial virus.science,2013.342 (6158): p.592-8.; frey, G., et al Distinct conformational states of HIV-1 gp41 are recognized by neutralizing and non-nesting anti-ibodies Nat Struct Mol Biol,2010.17 (12): p.1486-91.). In current marketed vaccines, modifications of S-2P (i.e., mutation of amino acids 986 and 987 to proline) are commonly employed (Tian, J.H., et al, SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein vaccine candidate NVX-CoV 2373-immunogenicity in baboons and protection in mice.2021.12 (1): p.372.; mercoado, N.B., et al, single-shot Ad26 vaccine protects against SARS-CoV-2 in rhesus macaques.2020.586 (7830): p.583-588.; corbett, K.S., et al, SARS-CoV-2 mRNA Vaccine Development Enabled by Prototype Pathogen Preparedness.bioRxiv,2020). In addition, hexaPro mutation (namely mutation of 817, 892, 899 and 942 amino acids into proline besides S-2P mutation) which can effectively improve stability and does not influence three-dimensional Structure is introduced (Hsieh, C.L., et al, structure-based Design of Prefusion-stabilized SARS-CoV-2 Spikes.bioRxiv,2020). These mutation sites are all located at the N-terminal or Loop region of the α -helix in S2, and after mutation to the proline (P) type with this secondary structure propensity, the allosteric propensity of S2 can be effectively reduced to stabilize the presupposition conformation of S2.
3) Finally, in order to further stabilize the S-ECD trimer structure, the invention adds a trimerization module T4foldon at the C-terminal of the vaccine molecule. This module is derived from the C-terminal domain of the fibrin of the T4 bacteriophage, with 27 amino acids. T4foldon has been used in RSV vaccine candidates and proved to be safe in clinical phase I studies (Crank, M.C., A proof of concept for structure-based vaccine design targeting RSV in humans.2019.365 (6452): p.505-509.).
After the recombinant S-ECD trimeric protein antigen modified by the method is recombined into an expression vector and the expressed recombinant S-ECD trimeric protein is subjected to conventional purity and stability analysis, corresponding vaccines, namely Kappa (B.1.617.1) strain SCTV01C-TM27 vaccine and Delta (B.1.617.2) strain SCTV01C-TM28 vaccine, are prepared.

The ECD trimeric immunogenic proteins/peptides of the invention exhibit excellent immunogenicity in mice and maintain long-term humoral and cellular immune responses.
Immunization tests of mice immunized with prepared Kappa strain SCTV01C-TM27, delta strain SCTV01C-TM28, alpha strain SCTV01C-TM22 and Beta strain SCTV01C-TM23 show that the two vaccines prepared by the invention can induce high-titer antibody immune reaction in experimental animals; the bivalent vaccine SCTV 01C-TM22+SCT01C-TM 23 can induce dose-related immune response, and the trivalent vaccine or tetravalent vaccine formed by adding TM27 or TM28 based on the bivalent vaccine TM22+TM23 has similar or slightly higher neutralization titer compared with the monovalent or bivalent vaccine with the same dose, which indicates that each component in the trivalent or tetravalent vaccine has immunogenicity. The trivalent TM22+TM23+TM28 vaccine and the trivalent TM22+TM23+TM27+TM28 have higher and similar neutralization titers on different strains, so that the two multivalent vaccines have more excellent capability of inducing broad-spectrum neutralizing antibodies.

The tm22+tm23 bivalent vaccine induced a dose-dependent immune response (fig. 3B). The addition of a trivalent or tetravalent vaccine composed of TM27 or TM28 on the basis of a TM22+tm23 bivalent vaccine has a similar or slightly higher neutralization potency than the same dose of the monovalent or bivalent vaccine, indicating that each component of the trivalent or tetravalent vaccine is immunogenic (fig. 3C, fig. 3D, table 6).
TABLE 6 monovalent and multivalent vaccine against SCTVC 01C-TM27, SCTV01C-TM28 serum antibody titers log10 values after immunization of C57BL/6 mice
The results of various pseudovirus neutralization titers are shown in FIG. 4, where the TM27 monovalent vaccine immune serum has a higher neutralizing titer against the pseudovirus of the Kappa strain, while the neutralizing capacity against Alpha, beta and Delta strains is reduced by a factor of about 5.7-16.4 times (1. Mu.g/titer) and 8.7-18.4 times (3. Mu.g/titer) the neutralizing titer of the Kappa strain (FIG. 4A). The TM28 monovalent vaccine immune serum had a higher neutralizing potency against the Delta strain pseudovirus, while the neutralizing ability against Alpha, beta and Kappa strains was reduced by about 2.9-12.7 times (1. Mu.g/valence) and 2.3-15.1 times (3. Mu.g/valence) the neutralizing potency of the Delta strain (FIG. 4A). The TM22+TM23 bivalent vaccine had similar neutralization capacity for Alpha, beta and Kappa strains, while the neutralization potency for Delta strain was reduced by about 2.6-fold (FIG. 4B). The TM22+TM23+TM27 trivalent vaccine is similar to the TM22+TM23 divalent vaccine, has similar neutralization ability to Alpha strain, beta strain and Kappa strain, and has 2-3 times lower neutralization potency to Delta strain (FIG. 4C). In contrast, the trivalent tm22+tm23+tm28 vaccine and tm22+tm23+tm27+tm28 have higher and similar neutralization titers for different strains, demonstrating that these two multivalent vaccines have more excellent ability to induce broad-spectrum neutralizing antibodies (fig. 4C, fig. 4D, table 7).
