Abstract

Disclosed in the present application are an anti-coronavirus antibody, a screening method therefor, a pharmaceutical composition containing same, and an application thereof. In the present application, the dissociative force of a spike protein S1/S2 of a coronavirus treated by the anti-coronavirus antibody is greater than the dissociative force of the spike protein S1/S2 of the coronavirus that is not treated by the anti-coronavirus antibody. The anti-coronavirus antibody targeting non-RBD epitopes and inhibiting S1/S2 dissociation and/or S2 allosteric rearrangements provided by the present application attempts to replace existing RBD targeting antibodies, overcomes the defect that the single blocking RBD/ACE2 interaction cannot resist the invasion of the coronavirus by using other receptors, or can be used in cooperation with the existing RBD targeting antibodies, thereby reducing the probability that the long-term use of a single RBD targeting antibody induces the coronavirus to generate a resistance mutation.

The mature spike protein is mainly composed of two domains S1 and S2 through strong intramolecular non-covalent interactions. For example, the SARS-CoV-2 new coronavirus mainly uses the receptor binding domain (RBD) in its surface spike protein to recognize and bind to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptor (ACE2) of the host cell to activate virus invasion.
因此，现有技术主要聚焦于RBD靶向中和抗体的研发，用于直接阻断其与ACE2的相互作用，但单一阻断RBD/ACE2互作无法抵抗冠状病毒利用其他受体入侵。同时，冠状病毒RBD区域变异较快，针对RBD区域的抗体能否对变异的病毒起效仍存疑。另外，发明人在研究中发现，使用单一的RBD靶向抗体还可能会诱发冠状病毒产生抵抗性突变。此外，免疫细胞表面的Fc受体结合RBD阻断抗体还有可能激活促进S2膜融合机器的活化反而帮助病毒入侵。因此，开发靶向非RBD表位的抗体及其筛选方法对冠状病毒感染疾病的治疗意义重大。Therefore, the existing technology mainly focuses on the development of RBD-targeted neutralizing antibodies to directly block its interaction with ACE2, but single blocking of RBD/ACE2 interaction cannot resist the invasion of coronaviruses using other receptors. At the same time, the RBD region of the coronavirus mutates rapidly, and it is still doubtful whether antibodies against the RBD region can be effective against the mutated virus. In addition, the inventors found in the study that the use of a single RBD-targeting antibody may also induce resistance mutations in the coronavirus. In addition, Fc receptor-binding RBD blocking antibodies on the surface of immune cells may also activate the activation of the S2 membrane fusion machinery and instead help the virus to invade. Therefore, the development of antibodies targeting non-RBD epitopes and their screening methods are of great significance for the treatment of coronavirus-infected diseases.

Control the magnet to apply force to the protein at a force loading speed of 1pN/s, and then reduce the force to 0pN at a speed of -5pN when the force reaches the peak value; observe the S1/S2 dissociation of the spike protein during the increase of the force. After observing the dissociation of S1/S2, wait for 60 seconds to ensure that the protein returns to the original state, and repeat the above process. After determining the force-induced dissociation of the spike protein S1/S2, the magnitude of the force and the change in distance were recorded.

实施例4 抗冠状病毒抗体中和效果鉴定Example 4 Identification of the neutralizing effect of anti-coronavirus antibodies
用PEI脂质体共转染新冠病毒刺突蛋白质粒(pCAG-SARS2-SΔC19)及辅助质粒(PLP1、PLP2、pCDH-CMV-CopGFP)到HEK 293T细胞中，50小时后获得SARS2-GFP假病毒。随后，取1mL上述SARS2-GFP假病毒溶液，并加入不同浓度的抗体1溶液，在24孔板中感染2×10 5个表达ACE2的293T宿主细胞。12小时后更换新鲜DMEM完全培养基；细胞再培养36小时后用FACS检测GFP阳性的293T的比例，即指示新冠假病毒感染ACE2宿主细胞的效率。相比于对照组抗体2的中和效果，抗体1的加入显著地降低了新冠假病毒入侵的效率；并且随着其浓度的提高，新冠假病毒感染ACE2表达的293T宿主细胞的效率从15％降低到10％；结果见图4。 Using PEI liposomes to co-transfect SARS-CoV-2 spike protein particles (pCAG-SARS2-SΔC19) and helper plasmids (PLP1, PLP2, pCDH-CMV-CopGFP) into HEK 293T cells, SARS2-GFP pseudovirus was obtained after 50 hours . Subsequently, 1 mL of the above SARS2-GFP pseudovirus solution was taken, and different concentrations of antibody 1 solutions were added to infect 2 × 10 5 ACE2-expressing 293T host cells in a 24-well plate. After 12 hours, the fresh DMEM complete medium was replaced; after the cells were cultured for another 36 hours, the proportion of GFP-positive 293T was detected by FACS, which indicated the efficiency of the new coronavirus pseudovirus infecting ACE2 host cells.

上述结果表明，抗体1使S1/S2解离时的力明显增加，约2倍左右，从而显著地降低了新冠假病毒入侵的效率；而抗体2使S1/S2解离时的力增加不明显，其降低新冠假病毒入侵的效率效果不及抗体1。显而易见地，采用 本发明所述的抗冠状病毒抗体筛选的方法，通过对刺突蛋白S1/S2解离时的力的测定，筛选出的抗体可显著降低冠状病毒入侵的效率。The above results show that antibody 1 significantly increases the force when S1/S2 dissociates, about 2 times, thus significantly reducing the efficiency of the new coronavirus pseudovirus invasion; while antibody 2 does not increase the force when S1/S2 dissociates significantly , its efficiency in reducing the invasion of the new coronavirus pseudovirus is not as effective as that of antibody 1. Obviously, using the method for anti-coronavirus antibody screening of the present invention, by measuring the force when the spike protein S1/S2 dissociates, the screened antibody can significantly reduce the efficiency of coronavirus invasion.
