本申请要求于2021年9月16日提交的、申请号为202111086956.4、发明名称为“一株羊驼源纳米抗体及其应用”的发明专利申请的优先权益,其全部内容通过引用并入本文。
本申请涉及生物医药领域,具体涉及一株羊驼源纳米抗体及其应用,更具体地,涉及一种与SARS-CoV-2 RBD结合的羊驼源纳米抗体或其抗原结合片段、编码其的多核苷酸、包含该多核苷酸的核酸构建体、包含该核酸构建体的表达载体、其制备方法、转化的细胞以及包含上述的药物组合物,以及它们在制备预防、治疗和/或检测新冠病毒感染的药物中的应用。
2019年12月以来,由冠状病毒科(family Coronaviridae)的新型冠状病毒(SARS-CoV-2)引起的疫情在全球范围内仍不断蔓延。除此之外,同属冠状病毒科的严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒(SARS-CoV)、中东呼吸综合征冠状病毒(MERS-CoV)等也是针对人类呼吸系统的主要病原体,主要通过飞沫、气溶胶和接触等方式传播,其传染性强,易引起群众恐慌,因此这类引起呼吸系统疾病的病毒严重危害公共卫生安全,尤其近年来呼吸性传染病的频发、病毒的不断变异,对人民群众的身体健康、生命安全和国民经济发展、社会稳定造成极大威胁。
中和抗体,该药物主要是通过与病原微生物表面的抗原结合,阻止病原微生物表达的特定分子与细胞表面受体结合,达到“中和”的效果。SARS-CoV和SARS-CoV-2病毒表面都具有糖基化的刺突蛋白(spike protein,S),该S蛋白能与宿主细胞受体蛋白ACE2相互作用并触发膜融合,因此阻断S蛋白与ACE2的结合是治疗新冠病毒感染的有效途径。
然而旨在阻断病毒与宿主细胞受体的抗体策略,仍需要进一步优化和升级。一方面,新冠病毒这样的RNA病毒具有易突变、易发生免疫逃逸等特点,单一特异性抗体很难满足长久的治疗需求。另外,常规的单克隆抗体因其分子量过大,在实际应用中也存在一定的缺陷。

实施例10:R14纳米抗体在体内预防新冠病毒感染的效果检测
本实施例中,在7-8周龄的雌性BALB/c小鼠(购自北京维通利华实验动物技术有限公司)中,检测本申请纳米抗体R14预防新冠病毒感染的功效;具体程序如下:
1)对7-8周的雌性BALB/c小鼠进行麻醉,滴鼻感染重组腺病毒Ad5-hACE2(按照Jing Sun et al.,“Generation of a Broadly Useful Model for COVID-19Pathogenesis,Vaccination,and Treatment”Cell.2020Aug 6;182(3):734-743中描述的方法制得);
2)第5天,对小鼠进行给药和攻毒;
具体地,按以下分组进行给药:
滴鼻给药组(IN):将5只小鼠麻醉后,用移液枪往小鼠鼻孔滴注50μL 2mg/ml的纳米抗体R14,给药剂量为5mg/kg;
雾化给药组(IH):8只小鼠置于雾化仓中,持续雾化20mg/mL的纳米抗体R14,10分钟后,立即取出小鼠,其中5只放入鼠笼,剩余3只麻醉后进行灌肺试验,来测定吸入抗体的量,吸入剂量为0.25mg/kg;
对照组(Control):对5只小鼠通过滴鼻的方式给予200μL的PBS;
给药后6小时,再次将小鼠麻醉,滴鼻感染新冠病毒原始毒株的活病毒(5×10
5TCID50);
3)第10天,解剖小鼠,取肺组织,提RNA,测病毒载量。
上述实验在中国疾病预防控制中心的生物安全三级实验室(BSL3)中进行。
结果如图8所示,图8结果显示,本申请的纳米抗体R14无论是通过滴鼻给药还是通过雾化给药,均能有效降低肺部病毒载量,有效预防小鼠感染新冠病毒。
最后应说明的是:以上实施例仅用以说明本申请的技术方案,而非对其限制;尽管参照前述实施例对本申请进行了详细的说明,本领域的普通技术人员应当理解:其依然可以对前述各实施例所记载的技术方案进行修改,或者对其中部分技术特征进行等同替换;而这些修改或者替换,并不使相应技术方案的本质脱离本申请各实施例技术方案的精神和范围。
本申请提供了一种与SARS-CoV-2 RBD结合的羊驼源纳米抗体或其抗原结合片段、其制备方法、相关产品及其在制备预防或新冠病毒的药物中的应用。本申请的羊驼源纳米抗体为高中和活性的纳米抗体,与SARS-CoV-2 RBD蛋白的结合能力强,能有效抑制SARS-CoV-2感染,此外,该纳米抗体还具有分子量小(~15kDa)、免疫原性小、更好的溶解度和稳定性、较长的CDR3区等优点,可以雾化给药,能直达肺部,起效更快,为新冠或其他冠状病毒感染提供了潜在的治疗策略。
