Project description:We generated LNP-mRNAs encoding B.1.1.529 SARS-CoV-2 spike, or single transmembrane protein CD22, or GPCR GPRC5D, respectively. Those LNP-mRNAs were intramuscularly administered in a human IgG and IgK knock-in mouse. Single cell VDJ-seq unveiled the sequences of human monoclonal antibodies targeting those target antigens.

Project description:The COVID-19 pandemic prompted an unprecedented effort to develop effective countermeasures against SARS-CoV-2. While efficacious vaccines and certain therapeutic monoclonal antibodies are available, here, we report the development, cryo-EM structures and functional analyses of distinct potent monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that neutralize SARS-CoV-2 and its variant B.1.351. We established a platform for rapid identification of highly potent and specific SARS-CoV-2-neutralizing antibodies by high-throughput B cell receptor single cell sequencing of spike receptor binding domain immunized animals. We identified two highly potent and specific SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing mAb clones that have single-digit nanomolar affinity and low-picomolar avidity. We also generated a bispecific antibody of these two lead clones. The lead monospecific and bispecific antibodies showed strong neutralization ability against prototypical SARS-CoV-2 and the highly contagious South African variant B.1.351 that post a further risk of reducing the efficacy of currently available therapeutic antibodies and vaccines. The lead mAbs showed potent in vivo efficacy against authentic SARS-CoV-2 in both prophylactic and therapeutic settings. We solved five cryo-EM structures at ~3 resolution of these neutralizing antibodies in complex with the ectodomain of the prefusion spike trimer, and revealed the molecular epitopes, binding patterns and conformations between the antibodies and spike RBD, which are distinct from existing antibodies. Our recently developed antibodies expand the repertoire of the toolbox of COVID-19 countermeasures against the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen and its emerging variants.

Project description:Nanobodies are emerging as ideal instruments for drug design and several have recently been created to block SARS-Cov-2 entry in the host cell by targeting surface-exposed Spike protein. However, due to the high frequency of mutations that affect Spike, these nanobodies may not efficiently target Spike during viral entry. Here we have established a pipeline that instead targets highly conserved viral proteins that are made only after viral entry into the host cell when the SARS-Cov-2 RNA-based genome is translated. As proof of principle, we designed nanobodies against the SARS-CoV-2 non-structural protein Nsp9, required for replication of the viral genome. To find out if this strategy efficiently blocked viral replication, one of these anti-Nsp9 nanobodies, 2NSP23, previously characterized using immunoassays and NMR spectroscopy for epitope mapping, was encapsulated into lipid nanoparticles (LNP) as mRNA. We show that this nanobody, hereby referred to as LNP-mRNA-2NSP23, is internalized and translated in HEK293 cells. We next infected HEK293-ACE2 cells subjected to LNP-mRNA-2NSP23 with multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants. Analysis of total RNA isolated form infected cells treated or untreated with LNP-mRNA-2NSP23 using qPCR and RNA deep sequencing shows that the LNP-mRNA-2NSP23 nanobody protects HEK293-ACE2 cells and suppresses replication of several SARS-CoV-2 variants. These observations indicate that following translation, the nanobody 2NSP23 inhibits viral replication by targeting Nsp9 in living cells. We propose that LNP-mRNA-2NSP23 may be translated into an innovative technology to generate novel antiviral drugs highly efficient across coronaviruses.

Project description:This experiment aims to profile polyclonal antibody binding profiles in serum from vaccinated animals relative to antibody function in a virus neutralization assay. Rabbits received three vaccinations with a DNA vaccine encoding the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 index strain. Serum samples were selected based on a three-tier (low, intermediate, and high) capacity to cross-neutralize SARS-CoV-2 strains with known neutralization resistance. Following normalization of total anti-spike IgG levels, serum of each animal (n=3) were evaluated for antibody binding to 10mer cyclic constrained peptides spanning the entire spike protein and regions with known SARS-CoV-2 variant of concern spike mutations.

Project description:RNA vaccines are efficient preventive measures to combat the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. High levels of neutralizing SARS-CoV-2-antibodies are an important component of vaccine-induced immunity. Shortly after the initial two mRNA vaccine doses, the IgG response mainly consists of the pro-inflammatory subclasses IgG1 and IgG3. Here, we report that several months after the second vaccination, SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies were increasingly composed of non-inflammatory IgG4, which were further boosted by a third mRNA vaccination and/or SARS-CoV-2 variant breakthrough infections. IgG4 antibodies among all spike-specific IgG antibodies rose on average from 0.04% shortly after the second vaccination to 19.27% late after the third vaccination. This induction of IgG4 antibodies was not observed after homologous or heterologous SARS-CoV-2 vaccination with adenoviral vectors. Single-cell sequencing and flow cytometry revealed substantial frequencies of IgG4-switched B cells within the spike-binding memory B-cell population (median 14.4%; interquartile range (ICR) 6.7-18.1%) compared to the overall memory B-cell repertoire (median 1.3%; ICR 0.9-2.2%) after three immunizations. Importantly, this class switch was associated with a reduced capacity of the spike-specific antibodies to mediate antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis and complement deposition. Since Fc-mediated effector functions are critical for antiviral immunity, these findings may have consequences for the choice and timing of vaccination regimens using mRNA vaccines, including future booster immunizations against SARS-CoV-2.

Project description:The Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has had devastating impacts on our global society. Although vaccines and monoclonal antibody countermeasures have reduced the morbidity and mortality associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection, variants with constellations of mutations in the spike gene threaten their efficacy. Therefore, antiviral interventions that are resistant to further virus evolution may be needed. Here, we show IFN-λ protects against SARS-CoV-2 B.1.351 (Beta) and B.1.1529 (Omicron) variants in three strains of conventional and human ACE2 transgenic mice. Prophylaxis or therapy with nasally-delivered IFN-λ2 limited infection of historical or variant (B.1.351 and B.1.1.529) SARS-CoV-2 strains in both the upper and lower respiratory tracts without causing excessive inflammation. In the lung, IFN-λ was produced preferentially in epithelial cells and acted on radio-resistant cells to protect against of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Thus, inhaled IFN-λ may have promise as a treatment for evolving SARS-CoV-2 variants that develop resistance to antibody-based countermeasures.

Project description:This project is aimed at characterizing the interactions of SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein and its variants with multiple full-length antibodies and monitoring the accompanying conformational dynamics. Different categories of antibodies are tested that recognize different domains of the Spike protein. The project aims at identifying the effects of weak, moderate and strong neutralizing antibodies on Spike protein and decipher their mechanisms of action. In addition to the direct binding effects, distal allosteric effects are also determined. A range of biophysical experiments, biochemical assays, and molecular dynamics simulations are used as orthogonal approaches. The rationale is to identify regions on the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein that acts as indicators for antibody binding and use these hotspots to develop better neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 and any future viral pandemics.

Project description:The experiment aims at characterizing the immune responses elicited by the BNT162b2 vaccine against SARS-CoV-2, initially administered in a two dose regimen (second dose after three weeks followinf the first dose) In particular the transcriptional landscape of circulating T and B lymphocytes has been profiled longitudinnaly by scRNA-seq coupleD with CITE-seq of 19 cell surface markers to better classify T cells subpopulations, LIBRA-seq to assess the Spike-specificity of BCRs and and V(D)J seq to also track T and B cell clones dynamics. Eeach sample was profiled before vaccination (T0), 21 days after the first dose (T1), 2 months after the first dose (1 month after the second dose) (T2). The immune responses were characterized using PBMC from 3 SARS-CoV-2 experienced donors (experiencing SARS-Cov-2 at least 4 months before the first vaccinatin) and 2 SARS-CoV-2 unexperienced donors.
