Description

协同中和新型冠状病毒的人源抗体和抗体组合及其应用 技术领域
本发明属于生物技术领域,具体涉及协同中和新型冠状病毒的人源抗体和抗体组合及其应用。
背景技术
目前正在全球范围爆发流行的新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)是由可引起严重急性呼吸道综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)所导致。对人类健康及经济造成严重危害。截止目前为止全球已有确诊病例近2亿,死亡病例约420多万。而我们仍没有找到有效的特异抗病毒药物。
单克隆抗体(monoclonal antibodies,mAbs)无疑是最具潜力的一类用于治疗的生物制剂,已应用于肿瘤、自身免疫性疾病及感染性疾病的治疗。人单抗的快速分离、高通量测序技术及结构生物学的发展等使得抗体成为快速应对新发传染性疾病的重要手段。
目前人源单克隆抗体主要采用如下策略获得(参见:Immunol Res.2020 Dec;68(6):325-339.):(1)以病毒抗原免疫转基因鼠。这种转基因鼠由于转入了人的抗体重链和轻链基因,经抗原免疫可产生来源于人抗体序列的抗体,即人源抗体。但这种方法需要先准备免疫用的病毒抗原,且抗体的产生是在小鼠的免疫环境,不能展示人自然感染中和抗体的产生。(2)噬菌体展示技术。采用该技术从来自免疫或非免疫单链抗体可变区片段(scFv)库筛选。由于来源非免疫cDNA文库,抗体没有经历亲和力成熟过程,或组成的抗体重链与轻链不是原始配对,难以获得亲和力高的抗体。(3)直接从感染康复者记忆B细胞克隆抗体。随着抗体技术的发展人们可以直接从单个B细胞获得抗体。多数采用从感染康复者PBMC经流式细胞分选出单个病毒抗原特异的记忆B细胞,进行抗体克隆的策略。该法虽然可快速拿到抗体,但只能拿到可以和病毒蛋白结合的抗体,而丢失了机体具有重要功能的构象依赖的抗体。
SARS-CoV-2借助病毒表面的刺突蛋白即S蛋白介导病毒与细胞膜的融合,进而入侵宿主细胞。S蛋白包括S1和S2两个亚单位,S1分为N-端(NTD)和受体结合(RBD)区域。病毒感染时,首先是S1-RBD与细胞膜上的受体结合激发S构象变化,导致病毒与细胞膜融合而进入靶细胞。S1-RBD被认为是诱导宿主中和抗体产生的主要蛋白。因此,面对新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情,大多研究者多采用表达RBD重组蛋白,进而分选出RBD特异B细胞以获得中和抗体。目前已陆续报道了这类RBD抗体的获得,有些具有很强的中和病毒的能力(参见:1、Science.2020Aug21;369(6506):956-963.和2、Nature.2020 Aug;584(7821):450-456.)。但采取这种策略会丢失一些不针对S1-RBD的抗体,甚至会错过机体产生的具有重要抗病毒作用的抗体。
因此研究人员改变策略,采用S蛋白筛选抗体。国内外已有研究团队从感染康复者获得针对S1-NTD中和抗体(参见:Cell.2021 Apr 29;184(9):2332-2347.)。
采用针对单一表位的单个单抗作为抗病毒治疗手段容易出现病毒逃逸现象,即新出现的变异病毒株可使相应抗体失去中和病毒的能力,甚至使2种联用抗体都失去活性(参考文献:Cell Rep Med.2021 Apr 20;2(4):100255.)。例如礼来(Lily)的两个新冠中和抗体药物(LY-CoV555和LY-CoV016)组成的鸡尾酒已经对南非及巴西突变病毒失效了。因此,联用针对不同表位的多种抗体作为抗病毒治疗策略,才能更有效地防止逃逸突变病毒的产生。要解决这个问题首先需要获得具有高效中和活性的针对病毒抗原不同表位的抗体,筛选出具有协同作用的抗体组合,而且单个抗体或抗体组合要有效中和目前流行的病毒变异株。
发明内容
本发明旨在提供一种协同中和新型冠状病毒的人源抗体和抗体组合及其应用,具体为从新型冠状病毒肺炎康复者分离出可高效中和新型冠状病毒一组人单抗,包括3个针对RBD和1个针对NTD的抗体(825,843,826和846)。其 中,单个抗体(825或843)可有效中和目前流行的病毒变异株包括英国株、南非株、巴西株和印度株等;筛选出的3种抗体组合(825/843/826及825/843/846)可有效中和目前流行的病毒变异株,其在假病毒体系中的中和活性IC50均可达10ng/ml左右水平。
