  • AAV is a recombinant viral vector technology based on a 25 nm ssDNA dependovirus of the family of Parvoviridae. Decades of development have led to the FDA approval of two AAV-based drugs (voretigene neparvovec (LUXTERNA®) and ona shogene abeparvovec (ZOLGENSMA®) for the treatment of an inherited form of blindness and spinal muscular atrophy type 1, respectively). Its favorable safety profile was established following thousands of clinical trial subjects and hundreds of clinical studies over the past 25 years. Moreover, the dose for a genetic immunization is generally orders of magnitude lower than in gene therapy, resulting in an extremely low safety risk for the AAV platform in line with that of a vaccine for broad use in the population.
  • any serotype of AAV can be used in the viral vector described herein (e.g., AAV1, AAV4, AAV5, AAV6, AAV8), AAV11, an AAV isolated from cynomolgus monkeys, or AAVrh32.33, an engineered hybrid of two AAV capsid PCR isolates from rhesus macaque, are particularly useful. See, for example, U.S. Patent No. 10,301,648 and GenBank Accession No. ACB55318, as well as Mori et al. (2004, Virology, 330:375- 83) and GenBank Accession No. AAT46339.1.
  • AAV11 and AAVrh32.33 are highly divergent structurally and serologically from other primate AAVs, with the closest homology to AAV4 (having 65% sequence identity to AAV 11 and 81% sequence identity to AAVrh32.33).
  • AAV11 and AAVrh32.33 productively transduce myofibers following intramuscular (IM) injection in mice. Yet, unlike other AAVs, transduction with AAV11 or AAVrh32.33 leads to local inflammation and ultimately a loss of transduced fibers. This process is driven by a CD4, CD40L, and CD28 T-cell mediated killing that is specific to the transgene antigen.
  • AAV11 and AAVrh32.33 gain cell entry from the acidifying endosome via a common entry factor on the host cell in mice and human, referred to as GPR108, yet, unlike other primate AAVs, does not depend on the ubiquitous receptor, AAVR, on the cell surface.
  • AAV 11 and rh32.33 further differentiate themselves from other AAVs by their low level of pre-existing immunity in human populations based on a screen of a thousand serum samples from four different continents.
  • the immunizing effect via IM is unaffected by high dose systemic IVIG (pooled human serum) in mice and in NHP, and AAV via IM injection is less subject to neutralization than mice.
  • AAV11 and AAVrh32.33 are attractive vaccine candidates as they trigger a multifaceted pro-inflammatory activation that stimulates a strong antibody response that also engages Thl pathways and promotes Treg homeostasis, generates viral titre high yields, which are essential for large-scale vaccine production, and has a very low seroprevalence in humans.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
AAV is a recombinant viral vector technology based on a 25 nm ssDNA dependovirus of the family of Parvoviridae. Decades of development have led to the FDA approval of two AAV-based drugs (voretigene neparvovec (LUXTERNA®) and onasemnogene abeparvovec (ZOLGENSMA®) for the treatment of an inherited form of blindness and spinal muscular atrophy type 1, respectively). Its favorable safety profile was established following thousands of clinical trial subjects and hundreds of clinical studies over the past 25 years. Moreover, the dose for a genetic immunization is generally orders of magnitude lower than in gene therapy, resulting in an extremely low safety risk for the AAV platform in line with that of a vaccine for broad use in the population.
Although any serotype of AAV can be used in the viral vector described herein (e.g., AAV1, AAV4, AAV5, AAV6, AAV8), AAV11, an AAV isolated from cynomolgus monkeys, or AAVrh32.33, an engineered hybrid of two AAV capsid PCR isolates from rhesus macaque, are particularly useful. See, for example, U.S. Patent No. 10,301,648 and GenBank Accession No. ACB55318, as well as Mori et al. (2004, Virology, 330:375- 83) and GenBank Accession No. AAT46339.1. AAV11 and AAVrh32.33 are highly divergent structurally and serologically from other primate AAVs, with the closest homology to AAV4 (having 65% sequence identity to AAV 11 and 81% sequence identity to AAVrh32.33). AAV11 and AAVrh32.33 productively transduce myofibers following intramuscular (IM) injection in mice. Yet, unlike other AAVs, transduction with AAV11 or AAVrh32.33 leads to local inflammation and ultimately a loss of transduced fibers. This process is driven by a CD4, CD40L, and CD28 T-cell mediated killing that is specific to the transgene antigen. AAV11 and AAVrh32.33 gain cell entry from the acidifying endosome via a common entry factor on the host cell in mice and human, referred to as GPR108, yet, unlike other primate AAVs, does not depend on the ubiquitous receptor, AAVR, on the cell surface. Importantly, AAV 11 and rh32.33 further differentiate themselves from other AAVs by their low level of pre-existing immunity in human populations based on a screen of a thousand serum samples from four different continents. The immunizing effect via IM is unaffected by high dose systemic IVIG (pooled human serum) in mice and in NHP, and AAV via IM injection is less subject to neutralization than mice. AAV11 and AAVrh32.33 are attractive vaccine candidates as they trigger a multifaceted pro-inflammatory activation that stimulates a strong antibody response that also engages Thl pathways and promotes Treg homeostasis, generates viral titre high yields, which are essential for large-scale vaccine production, and has a very low seroprevalence in humans.
AAV viral vectors as described herein can contain a nucleic acid molecule that encodes an antigenic polypeptide. AAV viral vectors are commercially available or can be produced by recombinant technology. A viral vector can have one or more elements for expression operably linked to the nucleic acid molecule that encodes an antigenic polypeptide, and further can include sequences such as those encoding a selectable marker (e.g., an antibiotic resistance gene), and/or those that can be used in purification of a polypeptide (e.g., 6xHis tag). Elements for expression include nucleic acid sequences that direct and regulate expression of nucleic acid coding sequences. One example of an expression element is a promoter sequence. Expression elements also can include one or more of introns, enhancer sequences, response elements, or inducible elements that modulate expression of a nucleic acid molecule. Expression elements can be of bacterial, yeast, insect, mammalian, or viral origin and vectors can contain a combination of expression elements from different origins. As used herein, operably linked means that elements for expression are positioned in a vector relative to a coding sequence in such a way as to direct or regulate expression of the coding sequence.
An AAV viral vector can include the necessary components for assembling and packaging (e.g., rep sequences, cap sequences, inverted terminal repeat (ITR) sequences), or such components can be provided on a separate vector. The components of a virus particle can be introduced, transiently or stably, into a packaging host cell such that virus particles are produced. Such virus particles can be purified using routine methods. As used herein, “purified” virus particles refer to virus particles that are removed from components in the mixture in which they were made such as, but not limited to, viral components (e.g., rep sequences, cap sequences), packaging host cells, and partially- or incompletely-assembled virus particles.
Once assembled, virus particles can be screened, e.g., for the ability to replicate; receptor binding ability; and/or seroprevalence in a population (e.g., a human population). Determining whether a virus particle can replicate is routine in the art and typically includes infecting a host cell with an amount of virus particles and determining if the virus particles increase in number over time, and determining whether a virus particle binds to its receptor is routine in the art, and such methods can be performed in vitro or in vivo. Determining the seroprevalence of a virus particle is routinely performed in the art and typically includes using an immunoassay to determine the prevalence of one or more antibodies in samples (e.g., blood samples) from a particular population of individuals. Seroprevalence is understood in the art to refer to the proportion of subjects in a population that is seropositive (i.e., has been exposed to a particular pathogen or immunogen), and is calculated as the number of subjects in a population who produce an antibody against a particular pathogen or immunogen divided by the total number of individuals in the population examined. Similarly, several methods to determine the extent of neutralizing antibodies in a serum sample are available. For example, a neutralizing antibody assay measures the titer at which an experimental sample contains an antibody concentration that neutralizes infection by 50% or more as compared to a control sample without antibody. See, also, Fisher et al. (1997, Nature Med., 3:306-12); and Manning et al. (1998, Human Gene Ther., 9:477-85).
As used herein, Coronavirus refers to SARS-CoV-2 and variants of SARS-CoV-2. The sequence of SARS-nCoV-2 can be found, for example, at GenBank Accession No. MN908947.3, and a number of SARS-CoV-2 variants have been identified (e.g., South African, UK, and Brazil variants; see, e.g., van Oosterhout et al., 2021, Virulence, 12:507- 8). Antigenic portions of coronavirus are known and include, for example the extracellular ectodomain portion, which includes the glycoprotein SPIKE region or a portion thereof (e.g., the globular SI subunit or the receptor binding domain (RBD)). In some instances, more than one (e.g., a plurality ol) antigenic sequences can be used in an AAV viral vector.
An AAV viral vector carrying an antigenic portion of a coronavirus can be used as a vaccine to immunize subjects against coronavirus infection, i.e., to elicit a protective immune response that reduces the risk of the subjects developing the infection, or reduces the risk of the subject developing a severe infection. Such a vaccine can be prepared as a vaccine composition, e.g., suspended in a physiologically compatible carrier and administered to a subject (e.g., a human, a companion animal, an exotic animal, and livestock). Suitable carriers include saline, which may be formulated with a variety of buffering solutions (e.g., phosphate buffered saline), lactose, sucrose, calcium phosphate, gelatin, dextran, agar, pectin, and water.
The vaccine composition can include one or more adjuvants. Some adjuvants contain a substance designed to protect the antigen from rapid catabolism, such as aluminum hydroxide or mineral oil, and a specific or nonspecific stimulator of immune responses, such as lipid A, or Bortadella pertussis. Suitable adjuvants are commercially available and include, for example, Freund's Incomplete Adjuvant and Freund's Complete Adjuvant (Difco Laboratories) and Merck Adjuvant 65 (Merck and Company, Inc., Rahway, N.J.). Other suitable adjuvants include alum, biodegradable microspheres, monophosphoryl lipid A, quil A, SBASlc, SBAS2 (Ling et al., 1997, Vaccine 15:1562- 1567), SBAS7, Al(OH)3 and CpG oligonucleotide (WO 96/02555).
In some embodiments of the vaccines described herein, the adjuvant may induce a Thl type immune response. Suitable adjuvant systems can include, for example, a combination of monophosphoryl lipid A, preferably 3-de-O-acylated monophosphoryl lipid A (3D-MPL) together with an aluminum salt. An enhanced system involves the combination of a monophosphoryl lipid A and a saponin derivative, particularly the combination of 3D-MLP and the saponin QS21 as disclosed in WO 94/00153, or a less reactogenic composition where the QS21 is quenched with cholesterol as disclosed in WO 96/33739. Previous experiments have demonstrated a clear synergistic effect of combinations of 3D-MLP and QS21 in the induction of both humoral and Thl type cellular immune responses. A particularly potent adjuvant formation involving QS21, 3D-MLP and tocopherol in an oil-in-water emulsion is described in WO 95/17210 and may comprise a formulation.
A vaccine is administered in sufficient amounts to transduce or infect the host cells and to provide sufficient levels of expression to provide an immunogenic benefit without undue adverse effects. Conventional and pharmaceutically acceptable routes of administration include, but are not limited to, intramuscular, intracranial or intraspinal injection. Additional routes of administration include, for example, orally, intranasally, intratracheally, by inhalation, intravenously, subcutaneously, intradermally, or transmucosally.
The dose of a viral vector described herein that can be administered to a subject will depend primarily on factors such as the condition being treated, and the age, weight, and health of the subject. For example, a therapeutically effective dosage of a viral vector to be administered to a human subject generally is in the range of from about 0.1 ml to about 10 ml of a solution containing concentrations of from about 1 x lOel to 1 x 10el2 genome copies (GCs) of viruses (e.g., about 1 x 10e9 to 1 x 10e12 GCs). One of the significant benefits of the viral vectors described herein is that a sufficient dose of antigen can be delivered to an individual in a single dose. As used herein, a sufficient dose of antigen refers to an amount of antigen that is sufficient to trigger an active acquired immune response in the individual. Further, another of the significant benefits of the viral vectors described herein is that they can be maintained (e.g., stored) at room temperature without losing efficacy.
The present methods can include administration of a prophylactically effective amount of a vaccine composition as described herein to a subject in need thereof, e.g., a subject who is at risk of developing an infection with SARS-nCoV-2. In some embodiments, the subject has not yet been, but will likely be, exposed to SARS-nCoV-2. In some embodiments, the subject has one or more risk factors associated with a severe infection with SARS-nCoV-2, e.g., pre-existing respiratory (e.g., asthma, COPD), cardiovascular (e.g., PAD, CAD, heart failure), or other (e.g., diabetes) condition that increase the likelihood that if the subject develops a SARS-nCoV-2 infection, that subject is likely to experience a more severe form of the disease, e.g., acute respiratory failure or need for intubation.
A vaccine as described herein can be provided in an article of manufacture (e.g., a kit). An article of manufacture can include a vaccine in a single-dose format or in a multi-dose format. For example, an article of manufacture can include a vaccine in a container (e.g., a vial) or in a vehicle for direct delivery (e.g., a nasal inhaler, an injection syringe). Typically, an article of manufacture also includes instructions for storing the vaccine (e.g., at room temperature) and for delivering or administering the vaccine (e.g., in a single dose).
AAVCOVID novel nucleic acids are provided herein (see, for example, SEQ ID NOs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 11, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 23, 25, 27, or 29). As used herein, nucleic acids can include DNA and RNA, and includes nucleic acids that contain one or more nucleotide analogs or backbone modifications. A nucleic acid can be single stranded or double stranded, which usually depends upon its intended use. Also provided herein are novel AAVCOVID polypeptides (see, for example, SEQ ID NOs: 5, 10, 12, 14, 22, 24, 26, or 28).
Also provided are nucleic acids and polypeptides that differ from SEQ ID NOs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 11, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 23, 25, 27, or 29 and SEQ ID NOs: 5, 10, 12, 14, 22, 24, 26, or 28, respectively. Nucleic acids and polypeptides that differ in sequence from SEQ ID NOs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 11, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 23, 25, 27, or 29 and SEQ ID NOs: 5, 10, 12, 14, 22, 24, 26, or 28 can have at least 80% sequence identity (e.g., at least 85%, 90%, 95%, or 99% sequence identity) to SEQ ID NOs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 11, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 23, 25, 27, or 29 and SEQ ID NOs: 5, 10, 12, 14, 22, 24, 26, or 28, respectively.
In calculating percent sequence identity, two sequences are aligned and the number of identical matches of nucleotides or amino acid residues between the two sequences is determined. The number of identical matches is divided by the length of the aligned region (i.e., the number of aligned nucleotides or amino acid residues) and multiplied by 100 to arrive at a percent sequence identity value. It will be appreciated that the length of the aligned region can be a portion of one or both sequences up to the full-length size of the shortest sequence. It also will be appreciated that a single sequence can align with more than one other sequence and hence, can have different percent sequence identity values over each aligned region.
The alignment of two or more sequences to determine percent sequence identity can be performed using the algorithm described by Altschul et al. (1997, Nucleic Acids Res., 25:33893402) as incorporated into BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) programs, available at ncbi.nlm.nih.gov on the World Wide Web. BLASTN is the program used to align and compare the identity between nucleic acid sequences, while BLASTP is the program used to align and compare the identity between amino acid sequences. When utilizing BLAST programs to calculate the percent identity between a sequence and another sequence, the default parameters of the respective programs generally are used.
In addition to the nucleic acids and polypeptides disclosed herein (i.e., SEQ ID NOs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 11, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 23, 25, 27, or 29), the skilled artisan will further appreciate that changes can be introduced into a nucleic acid molecule, thereby leading to changes in the amino acid sequence of the encoded polypeptide. For example, changes can be introduced into nucleic acid coding sequences using mutagenesis (e.g., site- directed mutagenesis, PCR-mediated mutagenesis) or by chemically synthesizing a nucleic acid molecule having such changes. Such nucleic acid changes can lead to conservative and/or non-conservative amino acid substitutions at one or more amino acid residues. A “conservative amino acid substitution” is one in which one amino acid residue is replaced with a different amino acid residue having a similar side chain (see, for example, Dayhoff et al. (1978, in Atlas of Protein Sequence and Structure, 5(Suppl. 3):345-352), which provides frequency tables for amino acid substitutions), and anon- conservative substitution is one in which an amino acid residue is replaced with an amino acid residue that does not have a similar side chain.
In accordance with the present invention, there may be employed conventional molecular biology, microbiology, biochemical, and recombinant DNA techniques within the skill of the art. Such techniques are explained fully in the literature. The invention will be further described in the following examples, which do not limit the scope of the methods and compositions of matter described in the claims.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 — Production of Viral Vectors
The AAVCOVID strategy is relatively straightforward namely to overexpress SARSnCoV-2019 S antigen via small dose IM injection. This approach is inspired by the fact that (a) MERS coronavirus infection led to long live S protective antibodies and (b) emerging data form SARS-nCoV2 NHP models demonstrate S antibody responses.
Three lead candidates are in development. FIG. 1 illustrates (1) a ssAAV full length S,
(2) a ssAAV SI subdomain-expressing vector candidate, which is secreted, and (3) a scAAV secreted RBD subdomain AAV. Designs were based on AAV packaging restrictions (e.g. shorter than SV40 in full length construct), potency considerations (e.g. WPRE element to extend mRNA half-life, use of scAAV which provides a 10-fold higher level and faster onset of expression but only for constructs <2.5 kb). Subdomains were selected based on known antigenicity mapping and available structural information, as well as the prior vaccine work on SARS-CoVl 17. IM route was selected based on broad clinical applicability, however similar constructs are evaluated in parallel via intranasal and subcutaneous routes. Prime-boost regimens are evaluated, including heterologous ones through other vaccine agents available through GBCPR.
Viral vectors were produced in the Gene Transfer Vector Core (GTVC), tested for immunogenicity (serum and broncho-alveolar lavage fluid) at a high dose of 10e11 viral particles (vp) in mice and challenged in ferrets (University of Laval BSL3).
Clinical candidates progress to NHP dosing studies 10e9 - 10el2 vp (GTP,
UPenn) and CMC characterization (GTVC) is performed in parallel to longer term murine studies for durability of the antibody levels and longer-term safety assessments. The dosing and CMC data package inform clinical study design.

The sequence of the transgene sequence is shown (SEQ ID NO:4), and then a schematic of the transgene within the viral vector is shown. The color coding in the sequence corresponds to the color coding in the schematic of the vector. FIG. 5E shows a schematic of the characteristics of the vector produced with Construct 4, and FIG. 6 shows the amino acid sequence of Construct 4. All the constructs described below start with the sequence of Construct 4 but carry several protein-stabilizing mutations to improve nCoV-2 Spike protein expression and immunogenicity. Specifically, the mutations described below result in the stabilization of the pre-fusion state of the SPIKE protein, a conformational state that must be recognized by the subject’s antibodies to protect against SARS-nCoV-2 infection. All the residues and domains named below are depicted in FIG. 6.
Constructs 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 consist of the same sequence of Construct 4 but carry several protein-stabilizing mutations to improve nCoV-2 S expression and immunogenicity. Specifically, the mutations described below result in the stabilization of the pre-fusion state of the SPIKE protein, a conformational state that must be recognized by the subject’s antibodies to protect against SARS-nCoV-2 infection. Constructs 5, 6, and 7 are designed to be furin cleavage mutants, in which the amino acid sequence R682RAR685↓S is mutated to G682SAS685 (Construct 5), to G682GSG685 (Construct 6), or to I682LR684 (Construct 7) (Kirchdoerfer et al Nature 2016, 531(7592): 118-21; Walls et al., Cell, 2019, 176(5): 1026-39; Wrapp et al., Science, 2020, 367(6483): 1260-3). Construct 8 carries two proline substitutions at positions 986 and 987 (K986P and V987P) that increase the rigidity of the loop between the heptad repeat 1 (HR1) and the central helix, avoiding a premature change to the fusion protein conformation (Pallesen et al., PNAS, 2017, 114(35):E7348-57; Wrapp et al., Science, 2020, 367(6483): 1260-3). Construct 9 combines the modifications made in Constructs 5 and 8; the mutations in the furin cleavage site from R682RAR685↓S to G682SAS685, and the K986P and V987P substitutions. Construct 10 is a combination of the changes made in Constructs 6 and 8; the mutation in the furin cleavage site from R682RAR685↓S to G682GSG685, and the K986P and V987P substitutions. Construct 11 combines mutations of Construct 7 and 8, furin cleavage site mutated to I682LR684 and K986P and V987P substitutions.
Constructs 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 include the same sequences described in Constructs 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11, respectively, but the transmembrane domain and the cytoplasmic domain of the SPIKE protein were removed by the addition of an early stop codon (G1219Ter). These versions are secreted ectodomains that have the ability to trimerize.
Constructs 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 include the sequences in Constructs 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19, respectively, but the signal peptide (first 13 residues of the protein) has been change to the tissue plasminogen activator signal peptide (tPA-SP) to improve protein secretion (Wang et al., 2011, Appl. Microbiol. Biotech.).
Constructs 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34 and 35 include the same sequences described in Constructs 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11, respectively, but the transmembrane domain and the cytoplasmic domain have been substituted by the GCN4 trimerization domain (IKRMKQIEDKIEEIESKQKKIENEIARIKKIK (SEQ ID NO: 6)) to improve proper trimarizetion of SPIKE ectodomain (Walls et al., Nature, 2016, 531(7592):114-7; Walls et al., Prot. Science, 2017, 26(1): 113-21).
Constructs 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42 and 43 include the same sequences described in Constructs 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11, respectively, but the transmembrane domain and the cytoplasmic domain have been substituted by the T4 fibritin trimerization domain (GSGYIPEAPRDGQAYVRKDGEWVLLSTFL (SEQ ID NO:7)) to improve proper trimarizetion of SPIKE ectodomain (Pallesen et al., PNAS, 2017, 114(35):E7348-57; Walls et al., Cell, 2020, doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2020.02.058; Wrapp et al., Science, 2020, 367(6483): 1260-3)
Constructs 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50 and 51 include the same sequences described in Constructs 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11, respectively, but the transmembrane domain and the cytoplasmic domain have been substituted by a modified isoleucine zipper that has four glycosylation motif (GGTGGNGTGRMKQIEDKIENITSKIY NITNEIARIKKLIGNRT (SEQ ID NO: 8)) to improve proper trimarizetion of SPIKE ectodomain and reduce immunogenicity of the trimerization domain (Sliepen et al., 2015, J. Biol. Chem., 290(12):7436-42).
Constructs 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74 and 75 include the same sequences described in Constructs 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50 and 51, respectively, but the signal peptide (first 13 residues of the protein) has been change to the tissue plasminogen activator signal peptide (tPA-SP) to improve protein secretion (Wang et al., 2011, Appl. Microbiol. Biotech.).
For example, AAVCOVID19-1 features a human codon optimized ORF as well as stabilizing mutations to make full-length spike protein (RRAR682-685 to GSAS682-685 for Furin enzyme cleavage site, KV986-987 to PP986-987 (bold and underlined in the sequence shown in FIG. 7; SEQ ID NOs: 9 and 10). For example, AAVCOVID19-2 features a human codon optimized ORF, attachment of the human tissue plasminogen activator signal peptide (tPA-SP) (bold and underlined in the sequence shown in FIG. 8), and includes a self-complimentary sequence of the gene of interest. SEQ ID NOs: 11 and 12.
For example, AAVCOVID19-3 features a human codon optimized ORF and attachment of the human tissue plasminogen activator signal peptide (tPA-SP) (bold and underlined in the sequence shown in FIG. 9; SEQ ID NOs: 13 and 14)
Example 3 — Vaccine Candidates
Two AAV-based vaccine candidates were tested: AAVCOVID19-1 (AC1) and AAV COVID 19-3 (AC3) (FIG. 9A) (GenBank Accession Nos. MW408785 and MW408786, respectively). AC1 is an AAVrh32.33 vector that expresses the codon optimized, pre-fusion stabilized (furin cleavage site mutated to G682SAS685 and P986P987 substitutions) full length SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein under the control of an SV40 promoter. AC1 carries a short SV40 polyadenylation signal (poly-A). AC3 is an AAVrh32.33 that carries the secreted SI subunit of SARS-CoV-2 Spike with the tissue plasminogen activator signal peptide (tPA-SP) whose expression is driven by the CMV promoter. AC3 has two more regulatory elements: a woodchuck hepatitis virus posttranscriptional regulatory element (WPRE) and the bovine growth hormone polyadenylation signal (poly-A).
Example 4 — Small-Scale Production of Vaccine Candidates
Research-grade, high-titer vectors were produced, purified, and titrated by the MEEI/ SERI Gene Transfer Vector Core (vdb-lab.org/vector-core/ on the World Wide Web). Small-scale vector preparations were generated by polyethylenimine or PEI (Polysciences, Cat #24765-2) triple transfection of AC1 or AC3 ITR-flanked transgene, pKan2/rh32.33 (AAV2 rep and AAVrh32.33 capsid construct), and pALD-X80 adenoviral helper plasmid in a 1 : 1 :2 ratio, respectively, in HEK293 cells. DNA was transfected in 10-layer HYPERFlasks using a PEI-Max/DNA ratio of 1.375:1 (v/w). 3 days after transfection, vectors were harvested from the HYPERFlasks using Benzonase (EMD Millipore, Cat. #1016970010) to degrade DNA/RNA. 24 hours after harvesting, the vectors were concentrated by tangential flow filtration and purified by iodixanol gradient ultracentrifugation as previously described (Lock et ak, 2010, Human Gene Ther., 21:1259-71). Vaccine candidates were quantified by ddPCR according to a previously published protocol (Sanmiguel et al., 2019, Quantitative and Digital Droplet- Based AAV Genome Titration, Methods Mol. Biol., Clifton, NJ, 1950). Capsid stability was assessed by AAV -ID (Pacouret et al., 2017, Mol. Ther: J. Am. Soc. Gene Ther., 25).
Example 5 — TaqMan™ Assay Design for SARS-CoV-2 Spike Detection
The codon optimized SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain (RBD) of AAVCOVID vaccine candidates was used as a target for droplet digital PCR (ddPCR)/real-time PCR (qPCR) quantifications. The sequence was checked for secondary structures using the mfold application of the UNAfold software package (Zuker, 2003, Nuc. Acids Res., 31:3406-15) at the PCR annealing temperature and TaqMan buffer salt concentrations. Internal repeats were avoided by mapping against the entire codon optimized SARS-CoV-2 S gene of AAVCOVID candidates using the REPuter application (Kurtz et al., 2001, Nuc. Acids Res., 29:4633-42). The 5’-end of the gene was selected as PCR target based on these analyses. The oligo sequences used were the following: forward primer, GTG CAG CCA ACC GAG (0.43 mM final concentration (SEQ ID NO: 19)); reverse primer, ACA CCT CGC CAA ATG G (1.125 mM final concentration (SEQ ID NO: 20)), and TaqMan® probe 6FAM- TCT ATC GTG CGC TTT C-MGBNFQ (0.25 mM final concentration (SEQ ID NO: 21)). The final concentration and Tm’s of primers were determined using the DINAMelt application of the UNAfold software package (Markham and Zuker, 2005, Nuc. Acids Res., 33:W577- 81; Markham and Zuker, 2008, Methods Mol. Biol., 453:3-31) and set to hybridize the target with a Tm of just under 60°C (59.0-59.9°C) for high specificity. The PrimerExpress™ software (Applied Biosystems™) was used to determine the Tm of the MGB probe (Kutyavin et al., 2000, Nuc. Acids Res., 28:655-61). The resulting 67 bp amplicon was inspected for specificity viaNCBI BLAST® using the somewhat similar algorithm in the suite against human, NHP, mouse, ferret, and betacoronavirus databases and determined to be highly specific for our vaccine candidates. No significant matches were found against the RBD oligonucleotides used.
Example 6 — In Vitro Expression Studies
10e5 HEK293 cell/well were seeded in 12-well plates (Coming, MA, USA) plates and incubated at 37°C overnight. The following day, cells were transfected with 2 μg of AAV COVID 19-1 (pACl) and AAVCOVID19-3 (pAC3) plasmids using PEI-Max. Cells were harvested 24 and 72 hours after transfection for mRNA and Western blot (WB) expression analyses, respectively. In addition, 5 x 10e4 HuH7 cell/well were seeded in 12-well plates and incubated overnight at 37°C. On the following day, Adenovirus 5 WT (Ad5) was added to the cells at a MOI of 20 pfu/cell. 2 hours later, media was removed, and cells infected with a MOI of 5 x 10e5 of AC1 or AC3. Cells were harvested 72 hours later for WB analysis.
Transfection and transduction samples were also collected for RNA gene expression analyses. Total RNA was extracted via Trizol™ reagent (Invitrogen™) and quantified using a Qubit™ fluorometer (Invitrogen™). 7.5 μg of Total RNA was DNase-I treated using the Turbo DNA -free™ kit (Invitrogen™). About 1.4 μg of DNase-treated total RNA was set aside for reverse transcription against (-)RT controls using the high capacity cDNA reverse transcription kit (Thermo Fisher™). Codon optimized RBD gene expression was assessed against a cells only control using qPCR and normalized to human 18S rRNA gene levels by the delta delta Ct method (Livak and Schmittgen, 2001, Methods, 25:402-8).
Example 7 — Detection of Spike Antigens by Western Blot (WB)
Cell lysates were obtained by diluting cell pellets in NuPAGE™ LDS Sample Buffer (4X) (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat# NP0007) and incubating at 99°C for 5 minutes, separated by electrophoresis in NuPAGE 4-12% polyacrylamide gels (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat #NP0321PK2) and then transferred to PVDF membranes. The membranes were probed with an anti-SARS-CoV-2 RBD rabbit polyclonal antibody (Sino Biological Inc., Cat. #40592-T62) followed by a goat anti-rabbit HRP-conjugated secondary antibody (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat. #A16110, RRID AB_2534782). Membranes were developed by chemiluminescence using the Immobilon Western Chemiluminescent HRP Substrate (Millipore, Cat. #WBKLS0500) and recorded using ChemiDoc MP Imaging System (Bio-Rad). An anti-GAPDH antibody (Cell Signaling Technology, Cat. #2118, RRID:AB_561053) was used as loading control.
Example 8 — Mouse Studies
All the mouse studies were performed in compliance with the Schepens Eye Research Institute IACUC. BALB/c, C57BL/6 or C57BL/6 diet-induced obese (DIO) animals were intramuscularly (right gastrocnemius muscle) treated at 10e10 gc/mouse or lOel 1 gc/mouse. Animals were kept in standard diet and C57BL/6 DIO were fed a high- fat diet (Research Diets, Cat. #D12492i). Serum samples were obtained by submandibular bleeds for humoral immune response analyses. At necropsy, several tissues were collected for analysis of vector presence and transgene expression.
Example 9 — NHP Study
All animal procedures were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Commitee of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatto) that screened negative for viral pathogens including SIV (simian immunodeficiency virus), STLV (simian-T- lymphotrophic virus), SRV (simian retrovirus), and B virus (macacine herpesvirus 1) were enrolled on the study. Animals were housed in an AAALAC International-accredited non-human primate research in stainless-steel squeeze back cages, on a 12-hour timed light/dark cycle, at temperatures ranging from 64-79°F (18-26°C). Animals received varied enrichment such as food treats, visual and auditory stimuli, manipulatives, and social interactions throughout the study. Four 3 to 7 year-old Rhesus macaques ( Macaca mulatto) were treated with the clinical candidates (n=2 per vector, 1 female and 1 male) intramuscularly at a dose of 10el2 gc/animal. Serum and PBMC samples were obtained in regular intervals for several analyses of immunogenicity against SARS-CoV-2 Spike and AAVrh32.33.
Serum chemistry, hematology, and coagulation analyses were performed by Antech Diagnostics. Serum was also collected for cytokine analyses which were performed by the University of Pennsylvania’s Human Immunology Core using a Non-Human Primate Cytokine Panel kit (MilliporeSigma, Cat. #PCYTMG-40K-PX23) on a Bio-Plex 200 instrument (Bio-Rad) according to the manufacturer’s protocol.
Example 10 — Human Samples
Blood was collected from 60 patients with nasopharyngeal PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection stratified by disease severity. Plasma was separated and stored at negative 80°C until assessed. Human subject investigation was approved by the institutional Review Board of the Massachusets General Hospital. Example 11 — SARS-CoV-2 Spike-Binding Antibody Detection ELISA
Nunc MaxiSorp™ high protein-binding capacity 96 well plates (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat. #44-2404-21) were coated overnight at 4°C with 1 μg/ml SARS-CoV-2 RBD, SARS-CoV-2 ectodomain (LakePharma, Cat. #46328) or SARS-CoV-1 RBD diluted in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). The next day the plates were washed with PBS-Tween 200.05% (Sigma, Cat. #P2287-100ML) using the Biotek 405 TS Microplate washer. Each plate was washed five times with 200 pi wash buffer and then dried before the next step. Following the first wash, 200 mΐ of Blocker Casein in PBS (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat. #37528) were added to each well and incubated for 2 hours at RT. After blocking, serum samples were serially diluted in blocking solution starting into 1:100 dilution. After an hour of incubation, the plates were washed and 100 mΐ of secondary Peroxidase AffiniPure Rabbit Anti -Mouse IgG (Jackson ImmunoResearch, Cat. #315- 035-045, RRID: AB 2340066) antibody diluted 1:1000 in blocking solution or rabbit Anti-Monkey IgG (whole molecule)-Peroxidase antibody (Sigma- Aldrich, Cat. #A2054, RRID:AB_257967) were added to each well. After one hour of incubation at room temperature, the plates were washed and developed for 3.5 min with 100 mΐ of Seracare SureBlue Reserve™ TMB Microwell Peroxidase Substrate solution (SeraCare, Cat. #53- 00-03). The reaction was then stopped with 100 mΐ Seracare KPL TMB Stop Solution (SeraCare, Cat. #50-85-06). Optical density (OD) at 450 nm was measured using a Biotek Synergy HI plate reader. The titer was the reciprocal of the highest dilution with absorbance values higher than four times the average of the negative control wells. For mouse serum SARS-CoV-2 RBD-specific antibody isotyping, the same ELISA was performed but using the secondary antibodies from SBA Clonotyping System-HRP kit (SouthemBiotech, 5300-05, RRID:AB_2796080) diluted accordingly to manufacturer’s instructions.
For NHP isotyping ELISA, plates were coated overnight at 4°C with 20 ng/well of SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein ectodomain (LakePharma, Cat. #46328) as the capture antigen. Then, the wells were blocked with 5% milk in PBS-Tween 200.05% for 2 h and incubated for additional 2 h with 50 mΐ serially diluted serum samples. Then, horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibody against rhesus IgGl (NIH Nonhuman Primate Reagent Resource supported by AI126683 and OD 010976 Cat. #PR-7110, RRID:AB_2819310) and IgG4 (NIH Non-human Primate Reagent Resource supported by AI126683 and OD 010976 Cat. #PR-7180, RRID :AB_2819322) for 1 h. After every incubation step, the plates were washed three times with PBS-Tween 200.05%. After color development, OD at 450 nm was determined using Biotek Synergy HI plate reader. The titer was the reciprocal of the highest dilution with absorbance values higher than four times the average of the negative control wells.
Example 12 — Lenti-SARS2 Pseudovirus Production and Titration
Lenti-SARS2 was produced based on a published protocol (Crawford et al., 2020, Viruses, 12:513). Specifically, 50% confluent HEK293T cells were seeded 24 hours prior to transfection in 15 cm plates. The next day, 18 μg of psPAX2, 9 μg of pCMV- SARS2-RRAR_ILR_gp41 and 29 μg of pCMV-Lenti-Luc plasmids were mixed in 3.6 mL of Opti-MEM™ I Reduced Serum media (Gibco, Cat. #31985070) along with 144 μL of PEI Max 40K (1 mg/mL, pH 6.9-7.1) and mixed thoroughly. The mixture was incubated for 20 minutes at room temperature. Media on cells was aspirated and serum- free DMEM was added to the cells. After 20 mins, the DNA-PEI mixture was added dropwise to the plate and incubated overnight at 37°C with 5% CO2. The next day, media was replaced with DMEM with 10% FBS. After 48 hours, the media was collected in a 50 mL conical and centrifuged at 4,000 rpm at 4°C for 5 minutes to remove cell debris. The supernatant was collected and filtered through 0.45 pm filter, aliquoted and stored at -80°C.
For titration of the pseudovirus, HEK293T cells expressing ACE2 were seeded at 1.5 x 10e4 cells/well in poly-L-Lysine (0.01%) coated 96-well black plates (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat. #3904) one day before titration. On the next day, the media was changed to 50 μL DMEM + 10% FBS containing filtered Hexadimethrine bromide at a final concentration of 10 μg/mL. 2-fold serial dilutions (up-to 15 dilutions) of the viral stocks (50 μL) were added to the plate in 6 replicates each and incubated for 48 hours. After 48 hours, cells were lysed with Reporter Lysis Buffer (Promega, Cat. #E4030). These plates were frozen at -80°C for 60 minutes. Thereafter, they were thawed at 37°C for 20 mins before starting the luciferase readout. For luciferase substrate buffer, the following reagents were mixed; Tris-HCl buffer at 0.5 M, ATP at 0.3 mM, MgCl2 at 10 mM, Pierce™ Firefly Signal Enhancer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat. #16180), D- luciferin 150 μg/mL (PerkinElmer, Cat. #122799). Biotek Synergy HI Plate reader was used for luminescence readout. For pseudovirus neutralization assay, a final dilution of the virus stock targeting relative luminescence units (RLU) of 1800-1100 was used, which was approximately 200-fold higher than background signal obtained in untreated cells.
Example 13 — Pseudovirus Neutralization Assay
HEK293T cells expressing ACE2 were seeded at 1.5 x 10e4 cells / well in poly-L- Lysine (0.01%) coated 96-well black plates. The following day, 50 μL of DMEM + 10% FBS media containing Hexadimethrine bromide (final concentration 10 μg/mL) was added to the cells. Serum samples were heat-inactivated at 56°C for 1 hour. Serum samples were then serially diluted (2-fold) for 10 dilutions in DMEM with 10% FBS with initial dilution of 1 :40 for mouse serum and 1:10 dilution for NHP serum. Thereafter, Lenti-SARS2 pseudovirus was added to each dilution and incubated at 37°C for 45 minutes. The serum and virus mixture was added to the cells and incubated at 37°C with 5% CC2 for 48 hours. An anti-SARS-CoV-2 Spike monoclonal neutralizing antibody (GenScript, Cat. #6D11F2) was used as a positive control. Cells without serum and virus were used as negative control. After 48 hours, cells were lysed and luciferase measured as described above. Neutralizing antibody titers or 50% inhibitory concentration in the serum sample (EC50 or ID50) were calculated as the reciprocal of the highest dilution showing less RLU signal than half of the average RLU (maximum infectivity) of Virus Control group (cells + virus, without serum).
Example 14 — Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test (PRNT) of SARS-CoV-2
Depending on the volume available, mouse or NHP sera were serially diluted two- fold from an initial dilution of either 1:12.5 or 1:25 for ten dilutions in Dulbecco’s Phosphate Buffered Saline (DPBS, Gibco). Each dilution was incubated at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 1 hour with an equal volume of 1000 plaque forming units/ml (PFU/ml) of SARS-CoV-2 (isolate USA-WA1/2020) diluted in DMEM (Gibco) containing 2% fetal bovine serum (Gibco) and antibiotic-antimycotic (Gibco). Controls included DMEM containing 2% fetal bovine serum (Gibco) and antibiotic-antimycotic (Gibco) only as a negative control, 1000 PFU/ml SARS-CoV-2 incubated with DPBS, and 1000 PFU/ml SARS-CoV-2 incubated with DMEM. Two hundred microliters of each dilution or control were added to confluent monolayers of NR-596 Vero E6 cells in triplicate and incubated for 1 hour at 37°C and 5% CO2. The plates were gently rocked every 5-10 minutes to prevent monolayer drying. The monolayers were then overlaid with a 1 : 1 mixture of 2.5% Avicel® RC-591 microcrystalline cellulose and carboxymethylcellulose sodium (DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences) and 2X Modified Eagle Medium (Temin’s modification, Gibco) supplemented with 2X antibiotic-antimycotic (Gibco), 2X GlutaMAX (Gibco) and 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco). Plates were incubated at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 2 days. The monolayers were fixed with 10% neutral buffered formalin and stained with 0.2% aqueous Gentian Violet (RICCA Chemicals) in 10% neutral buffered formalin for 30 minutes, followed by rinsing and plaque counting. The half maximal inhibitory concentrations (EC50 or ID50) were calculated using GraphPad Prism 8
Example 15 — IFN-Gamma and IL-4 ELISPOT Assay and Cytokine Secretion in Murine Snlenocvtes
Splenocytes were obtained by grinding murine spleens with 100 pm cell strainers, followed by treatment with Ammonium Chloride-Potassium (ACK) lysis buffer (Gibco) to lyse the red blood cells. The isolated cells were then suspended in complete RPMI- 1640 medium (Gibco) supplemented with 10% FBS and counted for the following experiments.
IFN-gamma and IL-4 ELISPOT for mice was measured as previously described (Wang et al., 2019, Gut, 68:1813-9). Briefly, 96-well PVDF plates (Millipore) were pre- coated with 10 μg/ml anti-mouse IFN-gamma ELISPOT capture antibody (BD Biosciences, Cat. #551881, RRID:AB_2868948) or 4 μg/ml anti-mouse IL-4 ELISPOT capture antibody (BD Biosciences, Cat. #551878, RRID:AB_2336921) at 4°C overnight, and then blocked with complete RPMI-1640 medium for 3 hours at 37°C. One million of freshly isolated splenocytes were seeded into the pre-coated plates and stimulated with SI and S2 peptides pools (GenScript) with a final concentration of 1 μg/ml of each peptide diluted in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 10% FBS and incubated for 48 hours at 37°C with 5% CO2. Each peptide pool, consisting of 15-mers peptides overlapping by 10 amino acids, spanning the entire SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein S1 or S2 subunits. Control wells contained 5x105 cell stimulated with DMSO diluted in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 10% FBS (negative control) or 2 μg/ml concanavalin A (positive control). Subsequently, the plates were washed and incubated with biotin-conjugated mouse IFN- gamma ELISPOT Detection Antibody (BD Biosciences, Cat. #551881, RRID:AB_2868948) and 4 μg/ml biotin-conjugated mouse IL4 detection antibody (BD Biosciences, Cat. #551878, RRID:AB_2336921) at room temperature for 3 hours and followed by streptavidin-HRP (dilution 1:1000, Sigma- Aldrich, Cat. #18-152) for 45 minutes. After washing, 100 μL/well of NBT/BCIP substrate solution (Promega, Cat. #S3771) were added and developed for 15-30 min until distinct spots emerged. The cytokine-secreting cell spots were imaged and counted on AID EliSpot reader (Autoimmun Diagnostika GmbH).
2x10e6 freshly isolated splenocytes were seeded into 96-well plates and stimulated with 1 μg/ml of peptides from SI and S2 pool as described previously at 37°C for 48 hours. Then the supernatants were collected and cytokine levels were measured by a Luminex cytokine assay by SBH Sciences.
Example 16 — Detection of Circulating SI in NHP Sera by Sandwich ELISA
A monoclonal anti-SARS-CoV-2 RBD capture antibody (GenScript, Cat.
#5B7D7) was coated on Nunc Maxisorp ELISA plates (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat. #44-2404-21) at 2.5 μg/mL final concentration in Sodium Bicarbonate buffer (Sigma- Aldrich, Cat. #SRE0034). The plate was incubated at 4°C overnight. All washes were performed 5X with PBS-Tween-200.05%. On the following day, plates were washed and blocked for 2 hours with Casein Buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat. #37528). Then, NHP sera were added in duplicates at 1 :5 dilution in blocking buffer. A blank consisting of the blocking buffer and a standard curve ranging from 5000 pg/mL to 78.25 pg/mL of SI antigen (GenScript, Cat. #Z03501) in blocking buffer were also added in duplicates on the plate followed by incubation at room temperature for 1 hour. Then, biotinylated detection antibody (GenScript, Cat. #5E10G8-Biotin) was added at 1 μg/mL final concentration in blocking buffer and plate was incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. Finally, 1:5000 final dilution of Streptavidin-HRP (Sigma- Aldrich, Cat. #18-152) was added to the plate. After completing incubation of 1 hour at room temperature, the plate was washed. 100 μL of TMB substrate (SeraCare, Cat. #5120-0081) was added to plates and color was developed for 3 mins 30 secs, after which 100 μL of Stop Solution (SeraCare, Cat. #5150-0021) was added to stop the reaction and plates were read at 450 nm and 670 nm using Biotek Synergy HI hybrid plate reader. Absorbance at 670 nm was subtracted from 450 nm, and then corrected with absorbance of the blank. Linear regression was used to calculate the standard curve formula and SI concentration (pg/mL) was calculated by extrapolation. Example 17— IFN-Gamma ELISPOT Assay in NHP PBMCs
Peripheral blood T cell responses against AC1, AC3 and the AAVrh32.33 capsid were measured by interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot (ELISPOT) assays according to previously published methods (Calcedo et al., 2018,
Hum. Gene Ther. Methods, 29:86-95). Peptide libraries specific for AAVrh32.33 capsid as well as the AC1 and AC3 transgenes were generated (15-mers with a 10 amino acid overlap with the preceding peptide; Mimotopes, Australia). More specifically, the AAVrh32.33 capsid peptide library was divided into three peptide pools, A, B and C.
Pool A contained peptides 1-50, Pool B contained peptides 51-100 and Pool C contained peptides 101-145. For the AC1 and AC3 peptide libraries, peptides specific to each protein were pooled separately from those peptide sequences shared between the two proteins. The AC1 peptide library contained Pool A (peptides 1-2, 136-173); Pool B (peptides 174-213); and Pool C (peptides 214-253). The AC3 Peptide Library consisted of Pool A only (peptides 254-257). The AC1 & AC3 Shared Peptides also contained three peptide pools; Pool A (peptides 258-259; 3-44), Pool B (peptides 45-90) and Pool C (peptides 91-135). Peptides were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at a concentration of 100 mg/mL, pooled, aliquoted and stored at -80°C. They were used at a final concentration in the assay of approximately 2 μg/mL. The positive response criteria for the IFN-gamma ELISPOT was greater than 55 spot forming units (SFU) per million cells and at least three times greater than the negative control values.
Example 18 — PBMC Stimulation, Flow Cytometry and Gating Strategy
Cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were thawed and rested overnight in sterile R10 media (RPMI 1640, Coming), supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gemini Bio-Products), Penicillin/Streptomycin and L-Glutamine; plus 10 U/mL DNAse I (Roche Life Sciences) at 37°C, 5% CO2 and 95% humidity incubation conditions. PBMC were stimulated at 200 pi final volume in sterile R10 media. Peptide concentrations for stimulation conditions were 2 μg/ml for AC1/AC3 shared peptide pool A, B and C and AAVrh32.22 peptide pool A, B and C. Co- stimulation was added with peptides: 1 μg/mL anti-CD49d (Clone 9F10, BioLegend, Cat. #304301, RRID:AB_314427) and CD28-ECD (Clone CD28.2, Beckman Coulter, Cat. #6607111, RRID:AB_1575955) at the start of stimulation. Positive control samples were stimulated using Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B (SEB, List Biological Laboratories) at 1 μg/mL. CD107a BV650 (clone H4A3, BioLegend, Cat. #328643, RRID:AB_2565967) was added at the start of stimulation. Brefeldin A (1 μg /mL) (Sigma- Aldrich) and monensin (0.66 μL/mL) (BD Biosciences) were added one hour after initiation of stimulation. Cells were incubated under stimulation conditions for a total of 9 hours.
All following incubations were performed at room temperature. Cells were stained for viability exclusion using Live/Dead Fixable Aqua for 10 minutes, followed by a 20-minute incubation with a panel of directly conjugated monoclonal antibodies diluted in equal parts of fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) buffer (PBS containing 0.1% sodium azide and 1% bovine serum albumin) and Brilliant stain buffer (BD Biosciences). Fluorophore-conjugated recombinant RBD protein produced by the Hensley Lab (University of Pennsylvania) was used to identify RBD-binding B cells during the surface antibody stain. Cells were washed in FACS buffer and fixed/permeabilized using the FoxP3 Transcription Factor Buffer Kit (eBioscience), following manufacturer’s instructions. Intracellular staining was performed by adding the antibody cocktail prepared in IX permwash buffer for 1 hour. Stained cells were washed and fixed in PBS containing 1% paraformaldehyde (Sigma- Aldrich) and stored at 4°C in the dark until acquisition. All flow cytometry data were collected on a BD LSR II or BD FACSymphony A5 cytometer (BD Biosciences). Data were analyzed using FlowJo software (versions 9.9.6 and 10.6.2, Tree Star).
The following antibodies were used: PD1 BV421 (clone EH12.2H7, BioLegend, Cat. #329919, RRID:AB_10900818), CD14 BV510 (clone M5E2, BioLegend, Cat. #301842, RRID:AB_2561946) and APC-Cy7 (clone M5E2, BioLegend, Cat. #301819, RRID:AB_493694), CD16 BV510 (clone 3G8, BioLegend, Cat. #302048, RRID:AB_2562085) and APC-Cy7 (clone 3G8, BioLegend, Cat. #302017, RRID:AB_314217), CD20 BV510 (clone 2H7, BioLegend, Cat. #302339, RRID:AB_2561721) and BV650 (clone 2H7, BioLegend, Cat. #302335,
RRID:AB_11218609), CD69 BV605 (clone FN50, BioLegend, Cat. #310937,
RRID : AB 2562306), CD21 PECy7 (clone Bu32, BioLegend, Cat. #354911, RRID:AB_2561576), CD4 BUV661 (clone SK3, BD Biosciences, Cat. #612962, RRID:AB_2870238), CD95 BUV737 (clone DX2, BD Biosciences, Cat. #612790, RRID:AB_2870117), CD 8 BUV563 (clone RPA-T8, BD Biosciences, Cat. #612914, RRID:AB_2870199), KI67 BV786 (clone B56, BD Biosciences, Cat. #563756, RRID:AB_2732007), IL2 PE (clone MQ1-17H12, BD Biosciences, Cat. #554566, RRID:AB_395483), IFN-gamma BV750 (clone B27, BD Biosciences, Cat. #566357, RRID:AB_2739707), CD3 BUV805 (clone SP34-2, BD Biosciences, Cat. #742053, RRID:AB_2871342), Granzyme B AF700 (clone GB11, BD Biosciences, Cat. #560213, RRID:AB_1645453), CD3 APC-Cy7 (clone SP34-2, BD Biosciences, Cat. #557757, RRID:AB_396863), IgM PECy5 (clone G20-127, BD Biosciences, Cat. #551079, RRID:AB_394036), CD27 BV421 (clone M-T271, BD Biosciences, Cat. #562513, RRID:AB_11153497), HLA-DR BV605 (clone G46-6, BD Biosciences, Cat. #562844, RRID:AB_2744478), CD80 BV786 (clone L307.4, BD Biosciences, Cat. #564159, RRID:AB_2738631), CXCR3 AF488 (clone 1C6, BD Biosciences, Cat. #558047, RRID:AB_397008), CXCR5 SB702 (clone MU5BEE, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat. #67-9185-42, RRID:AB_2717183), Tbet PerCP-Cy5.5 (clone 4B10, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat. #45-5825-82, RRID:AB_953657), CDllc PECy5.5 (clone 3.9, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat. #35-0116-42, RRID:AB_11218511), TNF-alpha PE-Cy7 (clone Mabll, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat. #25-7349-41, RRID:AB_1257208), and polyclonal anti-IgD PE Tx Red (SouthemBiotech, Cat. #2030-09, RRID:AB_2795630).
First, to ensure that only live single cells were analyzed from PBMCs, forward scatter height (FSC-H)-versus-forward scatter area (FSC-A) and side scatter area (SSC- A)-versus-FSC-A plots were used to exclude doublets and focus on singlet small lymphocytes. Dead cells were excluded by gating on cells negative for the viability marker Aqua Blue. For T cell function analysis, monocytes, B cells and NK cells were excluded via the CD14/19/16 dump gate. CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes were gated within CD3+ cells. To determine the memory phenotype, CD28 versus CD95 were used, and naive T cells were excluded from the analysis.
For B cell analysis, B cells were identified as CD20+ and CD3/CD14/CD16-. Memory B cells were defined as CD27+ or CD27-IgD-.
Example 19 — AAV Neutralizing Antibody (NAb) Assay
NAb responses against AAV1, AAV2, AAV5, AAV8, AAV9 and AAVrh32.33 capsids were measured in serum using an in vitro HEK293 cell-based assay and LacZ expressing vectors (Vector Core Laboratory, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA) as previously described (Calcedo et al., 2018, Hum. Gene Ther. Methods, 29:86-95). The NAb titer values are reported as the reciprocal of the highest serum dilution at which AAV transduction is reduced 50% compared to the negative control. The limit of detection of the assay was a 1:5 serum dilution.
Example 20 — Biodistribution/Gene Expression Studies
Tissue collection was segregated for genomic DNA (gDNA) or total RNA work by QIASymphony nucleic acid extraction with the aim of filling up 96-well plates of purified material. A small cut of frozen tissue (~20 mg) was used for all extractions with the exception of gDNA purifications from spleen (1-2 mg). Tissues were disrupted and homogenized in QIAGEN Buffer ATL (180 μL) and lysed overnight at 56°C in the presence of QIAGEN Proteinase K (400 μg) for gDNA, or directly in QIAGEN® Buffer RLT-Plus in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol and a QIAGEN anti-foaming agent for total RNA purification. Tissue lysates for gDNA extraction were treated in advance with QIAGEN RNase A (400 μg), while tissue homogenates for RNA extraction were DNase-I treated in situ in the QIASymphony® during the procedure. Nucleic acids were quantified only if necessary, as a troubleshooting measure. Purified gDNA samples were diluted 10-fold and in parallel into Cutsmart-buffered BamHI-HF (New England Biolabs) restriction digestions in the presence of 0.1% Pluronic F-68 (50 μL final volume) that ran overnight prior to quantification. Similarly, DNase-I-treated total RNAs were diluted 10- fold into cDNA synthesis reactions (20 μL final volume) with or without reverse transcriptase using the High Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit (Thermo Fisher™). For ddPCR (gDNA or cDNA) or qPCR (cDNA), 2 μL of processed nucleic acids were used for quantification using Bio-Rad™ or Applied Biosystems™ reagents, respectively, in 20 μL reactions using default amplification parameters without an UNG incubation step. All the studies included negative control (PBS) groups for comparison. The significantly small variance of multiple technical replicates in ddPCR justified the use of a single technical replicate per sample and no less than three biological replicates per group, gender, or time point. coRBD signal for ddPCR and vector biodistribution (gDNA) was multiplexed and normalized against the mouse transferrin receptor (Tfrc) gene TaqMan™ assay using a commercial preparation validated for copy number variation analysis (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Likewise, coRBD signal for ddPCR and gene expression analysis was multiplexed and normalized against the mouse GAPDH gene, also using a commercial preparation of the reference assay (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Target and reference oligonucleotide probes are tagged with different fluorophores at the 5 ’-end, which allows efficient signal stratification. For qPCR, coRBD and mGAPDH TaqMan assays were run separately to minimize competitive PCR multiplexing issues prior to analysis and delta delta Ct normalization. The limit of detection of the assay was 10 copies/reaction, therefore, wells with less than 10 copies were considered negative.
Example 21 — Phylogenetic Analysis
First, fourteen representative AAV capsid sequences were aligned by Clustal Omega (Sievers and Higgins, 2018, Protein Sci., 27:135-45). Substitution models and model parameters were statistically compared (120 in total) through ProtTest3 (Darriba et al., 2011, Bioinformatics, 27:1164-5), and the Le, Gascuel Model (Le and Gascuel, 2008, Mol. Biol., Evol., 25:1307-20) was selected based on the Aikake Information Criterion (AIC). Additionally, amino acid frequencies were determined empirically through the alignment (+F parameter) and evolutionary rates among sites were allowed to vary within five categories by modeling variability with a discrete Gamma distribution (+G parameter), again selected through AIC. A maximum-likelihood approach was then used to infer the evolutionary relationships among the included sequences using MEGA X (Kumar et al., 2018, Mol. Biol. Evol., 35:1547-49) and the resultant phylogeny rooted along the midpoint of the branch between AAV4 and AAV5 for purposes of visualization. A sequence identity matrix was computed, and the resultant table was used to annotate the phylogeny by percent identity.
Example 22 — Graphs and Statistical Analysis
GraphPad Prism 8 was used for graph preparation and statistical analysis. Data were represented as mean ± standard deviation (SD). Groups were compared between them by One-way ANOVA and Tukey’s tests in studies with more than two groups and n>10, and Kruskal Wallis and Dunn’s testes were used if n<10. Two groups were compared between them using Student’s t test (if n>10) or Mann Whitney’s U (if n<10). Pearson’s correlation coefficient was calculated to assess correlation.
Example 23 — Design and Production of AAVCOVID Vaccines
AC1 and AC3 are both viral vector COVID-19 vaccine candidates composed of an AAVrh32.33 capsid and an AAV2 ITR-flanked transgene expressing distinct SARS- CoV-2 S antigens. FIG. 9A depicts AC1 which encodes a full-length membrane anchored S protein based on the Wuhan sequence, modified by amino-acid substitutions that prevent S1/S2 furin cleavage and stabilize S in a pre-fusion conformation for optimal RBD exposure and antigenicity. AC3 expresses the secreted SI subunit of the Wuhan S protein (FIG. 9A). AAVrh32.33 is a previously described rhesus derived AAV serotype. It is most closely related to AAV4 but phylogenetically divergent from the AAVs that are most commonly circulating and used as gene therapy vectors in humans (FIG. 9B). Previously, it was shown in an extensive human epidemiological study that the seroprevalence of antibodies to AAVrh32.33 is minimal. Consistent with these findings, 50 plasma samples collected from healthy donors demonstrated highly reduced antibody prevalence to AAVrh32.33 as compared with that seen to AAV8 and AAV2, with 6% of samples with titers of 1:20 or above compared to 22% and 28% respectively (FIG. 9C).
In terms of production yields, in more than 10 research grade preparations, AC1 was shown to be comparable to serotypes AAV8 and AAV9, while AC3 showed slightly reduced productivity (FIG. 9D). The capsid identity of AC1 and AC3 is consistent with AAVrh32.33 in the AAV-ID thermostability assay (FIG. 9E).
Lastly, expression of the S transgene was detected for each AAVCOVID candidate in vitro by transfection and transduction (FIGs. 9F and 16). Higher expression of AC3 was detected at mRNA (FIG. 16A) and protein level (FIG. 9F and 16).
Example 24 — A Single Dose of AAVCOVID Induces High and Durable Antibody Titer in Two Mouse Strains
The immunogenicity of AC1 and AC3 following a single injection at a low and high dose of 10e10 and lOel 1 gc, respectively, in the gastrocnemius muscle was evaluated in 6-10-week-old BALB/C and C57BL/6 mice of both genders. SARS-CoV-2 (SARS2) RBD-binding IgG antibody levels were monitored by ELISA at regular intervals (FIGs. 10A and 10B), as were neutralizing antibody levels assayed using a SARS-CoV-2 Spike pseudotyped lentivirus (pseudovirus) inhibition-of-transduction method (FIGs. IOC and 10D).
Both mouse strains demonstrated dose-dependent potent binding and neutralizing responses from a single dose administration of AC1 or AC3 that persisted through 3 months. Overall, AC1 at high doses induced a significantly higher level of binding and neutralizing antibody titers to SARS-CoV-2 (binding geometric mean titer (GMT) of 305,922 and 522,060 in BALB/c and C57BL/6, respectively; and neutralizing GMT of 2,416 and 9,123, 12 weeks post-vaccination) than AC3 (binding GMT of 14,485 and 248,284 in BALB/c and C57BL/6, respectively; and neutralizing GMT of 302 and 1,356, 12 weeks post-vaccination). At a low dose, AC1 was superior to AC3, particularly in C57BL/6 mice at later timepoints (FIGs. 10A-10F). Immunogenicity was modestly lower in males versus female mice for both candidates (FIGs. 10A-10D). The kinetics of binding-antibody induction showed early onset of responses by day 14 (FIG. 17A) and increasing seroconversion rates overtime (FIG. 17B). Neutralizing antibody kinetics lagged by approximately a week, with limited seroconversion at week 4 that increased thereafter (FIGs. IOC and 10D). Binding and neutralizing titers correlated; however,
AC1 achieved higher neutralizing titers and a larger relative ratio of neutralizing to binding titers compared to those produced by AC3 (FIGs. 10E and 10F).
Limited plaque reduction neutralizing assay titers (PRNT) with live SARS-CoV-2 were obtained for AC1 and AC3 in BALB/c mice 4 weeks after vaccination, showing the quality of response in terms of the neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 live virus (FIG. 10G). These responses correlated modestly well with results from the pseudovirus neutralization assay (FIG. 10H). ELISA IgG titers to SARS-CoV-2 S full-length ectodomain (SARS2 Ecto), SARS-CoV-1 S RBD (SARS RBD) or MERS S RBD were assayed (FIG. 101). Antibody responses to full length S ectodomain (SARS2 Ecto) were modestly higher compared to RBD titers (SARS2 RBD) (FIG. 101). Cross-reactivity of the elicited IgG with SARS RBD was noted, but at reduced levels (FIG. 101), with no cross-reactivity detected against MERS RBD.
Lastly, to model the impact of AAV capsid pre-existing immunity on AAVCOVID immunogenicity in humans, 24 and 2 hours before vaccination BALB/c mice received 15 mg of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) derived from pooled samples from thousands of human donors. As a control, a single dose immunization using the AC1 vector was compared to vaccination with an AAVl capsid vector containing an identical genome (AAV1-S). AAVl is known to have higher pre-existing immunity in human populations. FIG. 10J shows that animals vaccinated with AC1 were unaffected by the IVIG pretreatment, while AAV1-S had reduced seroconversion on day 21 compared to IVIG-nai've animals.
For FIGs. 10A-10J, data are represented as mean ± SD. For FIGs. 10A-10D and 10G, groups were compared by one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post-test. For FIGs. 10E, 10F, and 10H, Pearson’s correlation coefficient was calculated to assess correlation. For FIG. 10J, naive and immunized groups were compared by Mann-Whitney’s U test.
Example 25 — AC1 Elicits Qualitatively Distinct Humoral Response Compared to AC3
Next, the quality of the humoral responses was assessed in BALB/c mice over time for each of the vaccine candidates. In AC 1 -treated animals, IgM and IgA antibodies directed at SARS2 RBD were detected at early timepoints, day 7 and 14, respectively, but the IgG isotype dominated circulating SARS2 RBD-specific antibody levels from thereon (FIG. 11 A). AC3 IgM and IgA levels were lower than those observed for AC1. Total IgG levels were composed of all IgG subclasses when AC1 was utilized, whereas IgGl predominated when AC3 was injected. The ratio of IgG2a/IgGl suggests a balanced Thl response stimulated by AC1, with more Th2 skewing seen in the AC3 response (FIGs. 11A and 11B).
To further interrogate this divergent qualitative response, cytokine secretion and ELISPOT analyses were performed on splenocytes from AC1 and AC3 immunized BALB/c and C57BL/6 animals. Secretion of several cytokines was detected in stimulated splenocytes (FIGs. 11C and 1 IF). However, IFN-gammawas predominantly secreted and minimal levels of Th2-associated cytokines, such as IL-5 and IL-13, were measured, except in BALB/c mice, where AC3 induced a greater IL-13 response (FIGs. 11C and 1 IF). IFN-gamma ELISPOT revealed a robust response against peptides spanning the SI subunit (FIGs. 11D, 11G, 18A and 18C), while lower responses were detected against the S2 subunit only in the AC1 vaccinated group. Minimal IL4 responses were seen by IL4 ELISPOT (FIGs. 11E, 11H, 18B and 18D).
For FIG. 1 IB-11H, the data are represented as mean ± SD and groups were compared by Kruskal Wallis and Dunn’s post-test.
Example 26 — Immunogenicitv of AAVCOVID is Influenced by Age but Retains Potency in Obese Mice
Vaccine efficacy is often impaired in obese or elderly humans, which are two of the most vulnerable populations in the COVID-19 pandemic. To model this conditions, 18-week and 2-year-old mice of both genders were immunized with AAVCOVID at low and high doses, bled at regular intervals, and analyzed for SARS2 RBD IgG and pseudovirus neutralization responses in the serum. A reduction in IgG and neutralizing titers is observed between 18-week and 2-year-old mice (FIGs. 12A-12D). 18-week-old and, to a lesser extent, 2-year-old mice developed robust neutralizing titers upon vaccination with AC1 (FIGs. 12B and 12D), but the AC3 at high doses failed to recapitulate the results in younger mice (FIG. 12D). Low doses and high dose of AC3 failed to elicit neutralizing antibodies in most of the 2-year-old mice, while animals treated with a high dose of AC1 showed high titers but incomplete seroconversion (FIGs. 12D and 12E). In aggregate, high dose AC1 demonstrates robust, albeit reduced immunogenicity in aged mice, with clearly superior immunogenicity compared to that induced by AC3 in aged mice.
A diet-induced C57BL/6 obesity (DIO) mouse model was used to study vaccine efficacy in inducing SARS2 RBD-specific antibodies in overweight animals. 12-week- old C57BL/6 and C57BL/6 DIO (n = 10) mice were vaccinated with 1010 and 1011 gc of AC1 and AC3. IgG RBD-binding and neutralizing antibody levels were indistinguishable between lean and obese groups for AC1 and the high dose group of AC3, yet interestingly, the low dose of AC3 produced a less robust antibody response in the DIO mice than did the comparable dose of AC1 (FIGs. 12F and 12G).
In FIG. 12A-12D and 12F-12G, data are represented as mean ± SD. For FIG. 12A-12D, groups were compared by one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post-test. FIG. 12F- 12G show lean and obese mice receiving the same treatment were compared by Student’s t test.
Example 27 — Durable Neutralizing Antigenicity in NHP from a Single Dose Injection
To model the immunogenicity of AAVCOVID in humans, one female and one male rhesus macaque were injected IM with 1012 gc of AC1 and AC3. Animals tolerated the vaccine dose well, with no temperature elevations or local reactogenicity based on clinical examinations, complete blood counts and chemistry (FIG. 19), or cytokine analysis (FIG. 19). Regular phlebotomies were performed to assess RBD binding, pseudovirus neutralizing, and live SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody titers in serum (FIGs. 13A, 13B and 13C) and B cell analysis fromPBMCs (FIGs. 13D, 13E and 13F). These animals continue to be monitored to assess the durability of the vaccine response and are currently at the 5 -month time point following the single dose immunization.
AC3 SARS2 RBD-binding antibody responses were detectable as early as week 3 after a single administration and plateaued by week 5 hovering around 1:6,400 and 1: 12,800 (FIG. 13A). AC1 IgG, on the contrary, only became apparent on week 5 and then steadily increased until week 10. One AC 1 -injected animal achieved similar antibody levels to those measured in both AC3 vaccinated primates (1:12,800) while the other AC-1 vaccinated animal achieved levels that were 8-fold higher (FIG. 13A). With minimal fluctuation, SARS2 RBD IgG levels have been maintained to date at peak levels, now 20 weeks or 5 months after a single shot vaccine for both the AC1 and AC3 injections.
Pseudovirus neutralizing titers and PRNT closely tracked with a slight delay in the IgG kinetics for both AC1 and AC3, reaching peak neutralizing titers 6 to 8 weeks after vaccination for AC3 (1:640 and 1:1,280) and 11 weeks following AC 1 injection (1:1,280 and 1:10,240). These neutralizing antibody responses have remained stable at peak levels through week 20 in the pseudovirus neutralizing assay and 16 weeks in the PRNT assay (FIGs. 13B and 13C), the last time points analyzed. Benchmarking of the pseudo virus neutralizing assay was performed in 2 ways. First, 60 human convalescent plasma samples from 3 cohorts were analyzed (FIG. 13B) (non-hospitalized (GMT: 154), hospitalized yet not critical (GMT: 508) and ICU patients (GMT: 1,576)), which demonstrated a clear increase of neutralizing titers with severity of disease. Second, a provisional World Health Organization recommended reference plasma (NISBC 20/130) yielded a 1: 1,280 titer in our assay, which was in line with the reported values (FIG.
13B). In summary, AC1 induces neutralizing titers in the range of 1 : 1,280 and 1 : 10,240 which is in the higher range of convalescence of hospitalized and ICU patients while AC3 leads to titers of 1:640-1:1,280 which is in the range of hospitalized non-ICU patients. These titers persist for at least 5 months.
To track vaccine-induced peripheral blood B cells, a double-labeling technique with fluorophore-conjugated SARS2 recombinant RBD protein was utilized (FIG. 13D) (Johnson et ak, 2020, Immunity, 52:842-55; Knox et al., 2017, JCI Insight, 2:e92943). RBD-binding memory B cells (MBCs) were absent at week 0 and detectable by week 4 in three of the animals (FIG. 13E). RBD-specific MBCs peaked in frequency at 6 weeks post-vaccination in all recipients and were maintained at a similar level at least through week 14 (FIG. 13E). Surface immunoglobulin isotype analyses found an early bias toward generation of IgM-expressing MBCs, whereas isotype switched (IgD-IgM-; likely IgG+) MBCs dominated the SARS2 RBD-specific response by week 14 (FIG. 13F). These findings suggest durable induction of SARS2 RBD-specific memory B cells by both AC1 and AC3 vaccines.
Interestingly, in AC3 injected primates, the secreted SI protein was detectable in their serum 2 weeks after injection. However, the S protein returned to undetectable levels in both animals by week 4, concurrent with increasing anti-SARS2 RBD antibody titers (FIG. 13G). Similar to the mouse data, SARS2 ectodomain IgG levels in NHP were higher than SARS2 RBD IgG, and modest cross-reactivity to SARS1 RBD was detected (FIG. 13H). Total IgG for both AC1 and AC3 animals was primarily composed of IgGl, suggestive that, in NHP, as opposed to mice, both responses appear more Thl-like (FIG. 131).
Example 28 — Memory T Cell Response to Spike Antigen is Developed in NHP
T cell responses to transgene peptide pools (FIG. S6A) were analyzed by IFN- gamma ELISPOT (FIGs. 14A and 14B) and intracellular cytokine staining (ICS) (FIGs. 14C-14F) from PBMCs harvested at monthly intervals. AC3 injected animals showed responses specific to the SI subunit, higher in the female, starting on week 4 (FIG. 14B); however, lower responses were detected in the AC1 female starting on week 8 and there was only a minimal response in the AC1 vaccinated male (FIG. 14A).
Flow cytometry was used to identify the phenotype and functionality of S-specific cells after stimulating PBMCs with the overlapping S 1 peptides (note that S2-specific responses in AC1 animals, which were clearly detected by ELISPOT, were not studied in this analyses). The female AC3 showed a robust memory CD8+ T cell response to the SI subunit beginning at week 6 (FIGs. 14C, 14D and 21B). CD107a+ IFN-gamma+ responding cells also produced TNF alpha at week 6 and 14 (FIGs. 14D and 14E), but the cytotoxic and activation profile changed over time. At week 6, the SI subunit-specific cells showed higher expression of the cytotoxicity markers perforin and granzyme B and the activation marker KI67, compared to week 14 (FIG. 14E). Sl-specific memory CD4+ T cell responses were also detected through production of TNF alpha and IL2 in the female treated with AC3 at week 6 and 14, although these were proportionately lower compared to the corresponding memory CD8+ T cell responses (FIGs. 14F and 21C). Example 29 — NHPs Develop Slow Neutralizing Antibody Response to AAVrh32.33 Capsid that Shows no Cross-Reactivity with Other AAV Serotypes
Viral vectored vaccines are known to induce responses to the delivery vector component, in this case, to the AAV capsid. These can enhance the overall immunogenicity of the vaccine, influence its reactogenicity, or prevent the effectiveness of subsequent dosing with a homologous vector due to the neutralization of the vector upon re-administration. Similarly, in the context of AAV, the cross-reactivity of these antibodies may affect subsequent applications of alternative AAV serotypes that could be neutralized via cross-reactive antibodies to AAVrh32.33, thus potentially influencing future applications of gene therapy for subjects vaccinated with AAVCOVID. In this rhesus study, Table SI shows that AAVrh32.33 neutralizing antibodies did develop, albeit with slow kinetics and to relatively low levels. Importantly, these modest AAV neutralizing responses did not exhibit cross-neutralization of a panel of commonly used AAV gene therapy serotypes AAV1, 2, 5, 8, and 9 (Table 1 and FIG. 22A). In addition, no significant increase in cellular responses against capsid peptides were detected in PBMCs up to 2 months after vaccination (FIG. 22B).

Example 30 — Vector is Retained in the Injection Site and Cleared Over Time in Mouse
A biodistribution of the vector following AAVCOVID intramuscular injection was analyzed to establish the kinetics of transgene expression and identify which tissues were transduced beyond that of the intended muscle target (FIG. 23). Previously, an AAVrh32.33 expressing a non-self-transgene, when injected intramuscularly in mice, showed declining transgene expression over time that was associated with increasing inflammatory infiltrates at the injection site several weeks after injection. This is in stark contrast to other AAVs expressing the same transgene which led to stable transgene expression and minimal local inflammation. In the current experiment, C57BL/6 mice were injected with 1011 gc in the right gastrocnemius muscle. Animals were euthanized 1, 4 and 8 weeks after vaccination, and tissues were analyzed for vector genome copies and transgene expression. As observed in FIG. 23 A, vector genome copies in the injected muscle decreased more than 20-fold from week 1 to week 8. AC3 transgene expression declined in a manner similar to the decline in DNA vector genome copy number. Remarkably, AC1 transgene expression was lower than AC3 expression, close to background levels, possibly due to lower promoter activity (FIG. 23B). Gene transfer and transduction levels of the contralateral gastrocnemius muscle, liver, and spleen demonstrated 10- 100-fold less vector DNA at week 1 than measured in the injected muscle with a steady decline of vector DNA and RNA, at times to undetectable levels (FIGs. 23 A and 23 C). A more comprehensive biodistribution study in B ALB/c mice that received the 1011 gc IM dose of AC3 and were euthanized at week 8 further indicated that the predominant tissue of vector genome and transgene expression was the injected muscle (FIG. 23D).
Example 31 — AAVCOVID is Stable and Retains Potency After One-Month Room Temperature Storage
To interrogate the cold chain requirements for storage and transportation of AAVCOVID, research grade vaccine preparations were aliquoted and stored at different temperature conditions (-80°C, 4°C or room temperature (RT)) for 1, 3, 7 or 28 days. Physical vector stability was assessed by titration of DNAse resistant vector genomes and loss or degradation was assessed by comparison to vector aliquots stored at -80°C (FIG. 15 A and Table 2). After being stored at 4°C or RT, neither AC1 nor AC3 show a reduction of titers for at least one month. In addition, potency was assessed by injection of 5 x 1010 gc of AC1 aliquots in female B ALB/c mice. Animals vaccinated with AC1 stored at 4°C or RT for up to 28 days showed similar levels of antibody compared to a control group that received vaccine vectors stored at -80°C (FIG. 15B). Although not significant, antibody titers trended downwards with time. Larger studies are performed to elucidate if potency can be maintained for longer periods.

The stability of AC1 at different temperatures over a 1 month time period is shown in FIG. 25. FIG. 25A shows the titer (gc/mL) of AC1 aliquots (n=5) stored at - 80°C, 4°C and 25°C for 4 weeks. FIG. 25B shows the RBD-binding antibody titers in C57BL/6 animals 21 days after vaccination with 101 lgc of AC1 aliquots (n=5) stored at - 80°C, 4°C and 25°C for 4 weeks. FIG. 25C shows AAV-ID analysis of capsid identity in AC1 aliquots (n=5) stored at -80°C, 4°C and 25°C for 4 weeks. These experiments demonstrate that AAVCOVID is stable at room temperature for at least one month.

The immunogenicity of AC3 when administered via difference routes is shown in FIG. 26. FIG. 26 is a graph that shows the monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 RBD-binding IgG titers in 7-8 week-old C57BL/6 mice injected intramuscularly (IM), subcutaneously (SC) or intranasally (IN) with 5 x 10e10 gc AC3, n=3.
Example 35 — Characterization of AAV11 for Use as a Vaccine AAV was originally isolated from cynomolgus monkeys. AAV2/11 transduction in vitro is 1/100 compared to the AAV2 serotype. Ie9 genome copies of AAV per animal were systemically administered via the tail. After 1 week, the AAV vector was found in brain, lung, heart, liver, stomach, intestine, spleen, kidney, uterus, and muscle. After 6 weeks, AAV was found in muscle, kidney, spleen, lung, heart and stomach. Notably, only marginal expression in liver was observed.
AAV11 serotype was chosen for vaccine development as it is similar in sequence to Rh32.33, the AAV serotype used in the development of an AAVCOVID as described herein. MS21 describes a short term study for measuring immunogenicity in BALB/c mice against SARS-CoV-2 full length stabilized Spike vaccinated with AAVCOVID AAV11 as compared to AAVCOVID Rh32.33. 5 female BALB/c mice were IM administered lelO or lei 1 AAV11-AC1 or AC1 (B857X), and blood was collected just before injection (baseline) and at days 14, 21 and 28. FIG. 27A and 27B and FIG. 28 are graphs that show the results of these experiments.
MS24 describes a long term study for measuring immunogenicity in C57BL/6 mice against SARS-CoV-2 full length stabilized Spike vaccinated with AAVCOVID AAV11 as compared to AAVCOVID Rh32.33. 5 female and 5 male BALB/c mice were IM administered lelO or lell AAV11-ACl or AC1, and blood was collected just before injection (baseline) and at days 14, 28, 42, 56, and at sacrifice at day 71. FIGs. 29A and 29B and FIGs. 30A and 30B are graphs that show the results of these experiments.
