- Peptide 21 an antigenic determinant of the SARS virus, a seventeen amino acid sequence, designated herein "Peptide 21", which is bound by antibodies to the SARS virus. This isolated peptide has the following sequence: FERDISNVPFSPDGKPC SEQ ID NO: 1
- polypeptide fragments include the following: Pept #78 PDGKPC SEQ ID NO:2 Pept #79 SPDGKPC SEQ ID NO:3 Pept #80 FSPDGKPC SEQ JJ3 NO:4 Pept #81 PFSPDGKPC SEQ ID NO:5 Pept #82 VPFSPDGKPC SEQ JJD NO:6 Pept #83 NVPFSPDGKPC SEQ JJD NO:7 Pept #84 SNVPFSPDGKPC SEQ JD NO:8 Pept #85 ISNVPFSPDGKPC SEQ ID NO:9 Pept #86 DISNVPFSPDGKPC SEQ ID NO: 10 Pept #87 RDISNVPFSPDGKPC SEQ ID NO: 11 Pept #88 ERDISNVPFSPDGKPC SEQ ID NO: 10
- All of the above polypeptides including Peptide 21 (SEQ ID NO:l) and the fragments thereof identified as Peptides 78 - 88 (SEQ TD NOs:2-12), are aspects of the invention.
- SARS virus genome was first submitted to a standard computer blast program to identify antigenic determinants. Of 138 potential antigenic determinants, the forty (40) most antigenic polypeptides were selected by the computer program and the remaining ninety eight (98) polypeptides were selected by the inventors as potential determinants.
- the polypeptides were plated onto a membrane by attaching a linker arm to a hyaluronic acid (HA) moiety, and affixing the HA moiety to the membrane surface.
- HA hyaluronic acid
- the suspect polypeptide is exposed, spatially, to potential antibodies.
- All the selected peptides were plotted onto a rectangular membrane array, such as that illustrated by rows A-H and columns 1-12 of FIGS. 1-6.
- the membrane was blocked with five (5 %) percent dry milk in 20 mL PBS for one hour at room temperature.
- the resulting affixed membranes in A2 - A7 were exposed to serum of patients either exhibiting SARS symptoms, exposed to SARS, or normal (as a control). As shown in FIG.
- FIG. 5 is included as a reflection of a failed array, which was also exposed to a sample of a patient with SARS confirmed by PCR. As can be seen, no positive dot was shown which would have reflected binding to an antigenic peptide (the placement of the peptides was random, and changed for each membrane) but neither was a control dot blot formed, indicating that the exposure had been handled improperly. As a result of these double blind studies, a specific polypeptide bound by antibodies to the SARS virus has been identified. This polypeptide can be used diagnostically, therapeutically or as a vaccine. Additional SARS Antigenic Polypeptides In addition to the aforementioned polypeptides, twenty (20) additional
- SARS antigenic polypeptides originated from S and N proteins in SARS corona virus have also been identified. These twenty polypeptide sequences are listed as follows:
- SARS antigenic polypeptides All of the aforementioned polypeptides are referred to collectively herein as "SARS antigenic polypeptides".
- SARS antigenic polypeptides can be used for diagnosis.
- a support bearing a SARS antigenic polypeptide e.g., SEQ ID NO:l
- a membrane on which a conjugate of hyaluronic acid and a SARS antigenic polypeptide are placed is combined with a sample of the patients blood.
- Patients with active SARS infections should have anti-SARS antibodies in the blood which will bind to the active polypeptide.
- Binding can be detected by a wide variety of modalities, such as providing a color indicator which is occluded upon binding, or by providing a migrating or changing color indicator or chemiluminescent indicator or the like.
- a wide variety of reporting agents are also available.
- a patient unaffected with SARS should not show antibody that binds to the peptide, and accordingly, a negative result should be obtained.
- Devices of this type are simple to calibrate with a collection with antibody.
- antibodies raised against a SARS antigenic polypeptide as described herein including straight forward murine monoclonal antibodies, produced through well known hybridoma techniques or polyclonal antibodies generated from rabbit, goat, or other species, may be used as detection reagents, h this case, the antibody is the stationary detection reagent, and again the blood sample is introduced. Where SARS virus is present in the blood, binding should occur, detected either colorimetrically, or through another modality which is detected visually (e.g., chemiluminescence) or through instruments (fluorescence or wavelengths other than those normally seen). Again, such diagnostics can be calibrated and confirmed relatively easily by exposure to the virus itself.
- the SARS antigenic polypeptides identified above can be conjugated to Hyaluronic Acid (HA) or some other biopolymer which is water soluble and biodegradable may be used as a therapeutic which, when injected in the patient, will stimulate an immune response.
- HA Hyaluronic Acid
- patients suspected of having SARS that is, patients exhibiting SARS symptoms but not confirmed through PCR or other methods, may benefit from prompt inoculation with the therapeutic, to assist the body in rapid generation of therapeutic titers of the SARS antibody raised against the SARS antigenic polypeptide.
- polypeptide fragment which has been implicated in the region critical to the ability of the corona virus that produces SARS to bind to the cell surface receptor of the target cell or host, which permits release of the nuclear material of the virus into the host and self- replication.
- This polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence as set forth below: NYKYRYLRHGKLRP (SEQ ID NO:39).
- an inhalant can be prepared comprising a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:39.
- the inhalant for example, can have concentrations of polypeptide of from 1 microgram/mL up to 1 g/mL.
- the inhalant can be sprayed directly and can compete for receptor sites, thereby preventing or slowing infection.
- human or humanized antibodies to the SARS antigenic polypeptides or peptide fragments can be administered, as passive immunization therapeutic agents, passive immunization, antibodies are provided to the individual by administration of exogenous antibodies.
- Human antibodies prepared from genetically altered hosts such as mice which are better than 95% humanized and humanized antibodies produced by mice and other hosts which are subsequently altered by switching out CDR regions to preserve binding ability while reducing immunogenicity are well known in the art and can be used.
- Such antibodies raised against SARS antigenic polypeptides and peptide fragments again using a conjugates of the SARS polypeptide and HA or a similar biopolymer, can be used as an antigen for generation of the antibodies.
- SARS antigenic polypeptide as described herein can be used to raise titers in individuals exposed to SARS but not yet positively identified as infected.
- administration of conjugated peptide to human individuals who are likely SARS targets, either by reason of geography, age, immune condition or the like, should be an effective way of raising antibody titers in the individual so immunized that will bind SARS and defeat infection, upon exposure, hi contrast to the passive immunization using the administration of significant titers of exogenous antibodies, this process relies on the patients own immune system to generate antibodies to Peptide 21 (SEQ ID NO: 1).
- the SARS antigenic polypeptide can be conjugated or otherwise derivitized so that it will be "recognized” as immunogenic by the host.
- a seventeen (17) amino acid residue of the polypeptide itself is unlikely to be sufficiently immunogenic to generate significant antibody titers without conjugation.
- the SARS antigenic polypeptides also provide a method for improving short-term therapeutics for patients infected with SARS.
- the only effective medication currently available is serum from recovered patients. Recovered patients are few, the amount of blood that can be recovered is limited, and the number of patients that can be treated with that recovered blood (anti- serum) is even more limited. Production of therapeutic antibodies, either human or humanized, will take time.
- a conventional column packed with a SARS antigenic polypeptide as disclosed herein can be used.
- the column, with immobilized SARS antigenic polypeptide will "pull" antibodies present in the serum of recovered patients out of solution.
- the highly purified antibodies can be subsequently released from the column, collected, and administered on a broader basis. Isolation of the antibodies using this method also permits wider patient selection, long-term storage of the antibody and transportation of the antibody to distant sites.
- the SARS antigenic polypeptides described herein can be used both to augment short term solutions, and provide long term solutions that include diagnosis of SARS infection, therapeutic treatment of SARS-infected patients, and vaccination of patients. Therapy can include active immunization, provided the patient does not have a compromised immune system, passive immunization using "chimeric" and/or "humanized” antibodies, and human antibodies collected from surviving
