Definitions
- the present invention belongs to the field of immunology. Specifically, it relates to a method for enhancing the immunogenicity of a protein/peptide antigen, wherein the protein/peptide antigen forms a fusion protein with a modified Fc fragment of an antibody, and the Fc fragment is due to its amino acid sequence and/or sugar
- the modified form has an improved binding capacity to the Fc receptor and/or complement protein C1q compared to its natural form.
- the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine prepared by using the fusion protein of the present invention as an immunogen has high binding capacity to Fc receptors, and can maintain long-term humoral and cellular immune responses, and immunized animals can produce higher titer Neutralizing antibodies.
- the vaccine can be used to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection-related diseases.
- B cell-mediated humoral immunity is one of the body's protective mechanisms mediated by vaccines.
- FcRs Fc receptors
- CR complement receptors
- Fc binds to receptors on follicular dendritic cells (fDC) (mediated by FcR or CR) and is displayed on the surface of fDC. This part of the antigen is essential for maintaining the long-term existence of the antigen and maintaining the survival of antigen-specific B cells. Very important [7].
- cytotoxic T lymphocytes play an important role in resisting virus infection and removing virus-infected cells.
- CTL cytotoxic T lymphocytes
- the antigen cross-presentation mechanism allows exogenous antigens to enter the cell's endogenous processing and presentation mechanism, so that the exogenous antigen peptides are displayed on MHC class I molecules to be recognized by T cells and initiate CTL cell responses.
- the cross-presentation of foreign antigens is of great significance for effectively activating CTLs and triggering antiviral immune responses. Therefore, enhancing the cross-presentation of subunit vaccines is one of the effective strategies to improve the immune effect of vaccines.
- Dendritic cells are currently known as the most powerful professional antigen-presenting cells, and they are also the main cells for cross-presentation.
- phagocytosis endocytosis
- pinocytosis receptor-mediated endocytosis.
- endocytic receptors related to the cross-presentation of foreign antigens, including C-type lectin receptor (CLR), Fc receptors (FcRs) that recognize immune complex IgG, and scavengers that recognize apoptotic cells Receptors, chemokine receptors, etc.
- CLR C-type lectin receptor
- FcRs Fc receptors
- scavengers that recognize apoptotic cells Receptors, chemokine receptors, etc.
- these receptors mediate the endocytosis of antigens and enter specific endosomes before they can bind to MHC class I molecules, thereby activating CD8 + T cells.
- Antigen-antibody complexes can be recognized by the FcRs of DC cells, and the resulting cross-linking can internalize the antigen, and cross-process and present the antigen to specifically activate the CTL response [8-10]. This cross-presentation of antigens mediated by FcRs has been shown to induce strong CTL responses [11].
- Fc receptors that bind to IgG in the human body mainly include Fc ⁇ RI (CD64), Fc ⁇ RIIA (CD32a), Fc ⁇ RIIB (CD32B), Fc ⁇ RIII (CD16), etc. [12].
- Fc ⁇ RIIB is an inhibitory receptor, which is mainly expressed on B cells, macrophages and mast cells [13]. It can be divided into Fc ⁇ RIIB-1 and Fc ⁇ RIIB-2.
- Fc ⁇ RIIB-1 is only expressed on B cells, and controls the excessive activation of B cells and the recognition of self-antigens during the development of B cells. It transmits B cell apoptosis through intracellular receptor tyrosine inhibitory motifs (ITIM).
- the death signal realizes the negative selection process of B cells and regulates the development process of B cells.
- Fc ⁇ RIIB-2 is expressed on other immune cells except NK and T cells, and the cross-linking of the receptor can effectively induce the phagocytosis of the antigen-antibody complex [14,15].
- the other Fc receptors are all activating receptors.
- CD64 is mainly expressed on monocytes, macrophages, DCs and other cells
- CD32a is mainly expressed on neutrophils
- CD16a is mainly It is expressed in NK, monocytes, and macrophages [15].
- the intracellular receptor tyrosine activation motif determines the antigen-presenting cell APC to initiate the uptake of antigen and the antigen-presenting function exercised by MHC molecules after the uptake [ 16].
- Fc fusion protein refers to a new type of recombinant protein produced by fusing a certain biologically active functional protein with an Fc fragment using genetic engineering and other technologies. It not only retains the biological activity of the functional protein molecule, but also has some antibody properties, such as FcRs binding and related biological functions mediated.
- Antigen-Fc fusion protein can be used as an antigen delivery vehicle, with the help of Fc fragments to target and bind antigen-presenting cells, shorten the free time of antigen in plasma, increase the half-life of antigen, and enhance the reaction of antigen presentation and antigen cross-presentation.
- the Fc fragment is modified to enhance the binding of FcRs to obtain Fe4-Fc modified molecules, which can increase the binding of Fc to complement protein C1q and Fc receptors CD16, CD32, CD64, etc. [17-21], there are It may further enhance Fc and its receptor-mediated antigen capture and presentation, enhance B cell maturation and high-affinity antibody production, maintain long-term humoral immunity, enhance CTL immune response mediated by antigen cross-presentation, and enhance Fc The immune effect of fusion protein vaccines.
- YIC can increase the maturation (high expression of CD83), antigen recognition and presentation (expression of HLA-II, CD86, CD80, CD40 markers) of DC cells in patients infected with cHBV, and secrete more inflammation Sex factor (IL-12).
- the patient’s DC-PBMC mixed cells produced more T lymphocyte cytokines (Th1 cells: IL-2, IFN ⁇ ) under YIC stimulation than HBsAg antigen alone (Th2 cells: IL-5, IL-10) [23] .
- Th1 cells IL-2, IFN ⁇
- Th2 cells IL-5, IL-10)
- the excessive stimulation of YIC may cause the body's immune fatigue, thereby reducing the cellular immune response [24]. Therefore, in order to achieve a better immune effect, a suitable immunization program is also particularly important.
- Some other viral antigen-Fc fusion protein vaccines have also been tried in animal models to achieve effective immune system activation, and the antibodies produced can reduce the level of viral antigens in the serum [25- 28].

Le vaccin contre le SARS-CoV-2 préparé au moyen de l'utilisation de la protéine de fusion en tant qu'immunogène présente une capacité de liaison élevée au récepteur Fc, et peut maintenir des réponses immunitaires humorales et cellulaires à long terme, et des animaux immunisés peuvent produire des titres supérieurs d'anticorps neutralisants. Le vaccin à base de protéine recombinante peut être utilisé pour prévenir des maladies liées à l'infection par le SARS-CoV-2.
