Problems solved by technology

However, so far, there is still a lack of detailed information on the immunogenicity and neutralizing epitopes of the S protein of the newly emerged SARS-CoV-2 virus
[0007] At present, all reported SARS-Cov-2 vaccines have not effectively induced the body's immune response against the virus due to the low efficiency and low immunogenicity of short peptide expression.

[0137] 1. Preparation of S1RBD

[0138] The SARS-CoV-2 S1RBD (QHD43416.1, 319-533aa) gene was cloned into a eukaryotic expression vector with a His tag at the N-terminal, and the S1RBD eukaryotic expression plasmid with a His tag at the N-terminal was constructed (recombinant RBD- The sequence of His is shown in SEQID NO: 23). The plasmid was transfected into HEK293 cells by transfection reagent 293fectin (Life Technologies, 12347-019, 1977248) for transient expression, and the supernatant was collected after 4 days, and HisTrap HP affinity chromatography column (GE, 17-5248-01 ) to purify the expression supernatant, then ultrafilter through an ultrafiltration concentration tube, replace the buffer with PBS, obtain the pure recombinant protein of SARS-CoV-2 S1RBD antigen, and analyze the purity by SDS-PAGE and HPLC, the results are as follows figure 1 shown.

[0154] Crystals of MW05 antigen-antibody complexes were grown using Crystal Screen1, CrystalScreen2, Index, PEGRx1, PEGRx2 from HAMPTON, and WIZARD I / II kits from Emerald Biosystems. Using the sitting drop method, under the conditions of 0.2M sodium citrate, 21% PEG3350, and 0.02M urea, crystallized for 3 days, and finally obtained crystals with better diffraction, such as Figure 10 shown. The crystal was collected at the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility Diffraction data of MW317 FAB and covid-19Spike in MW317-PD1 complex structure (PDB ID: 6JJP) using PHASER software RBD -The spike protein RBD in the hACE2 complex structure (PDB ID: 6LZG) is a molecular replacement model, and the complex structure of MW05 is analyzed by the molecular replacement method.

Abstract

On the basis of the neutralizing antibody in the RBD region of the SARS-CoV-2S protein, the Fab segment of the neutralizing antibody is prepared through recombinant expression, the Fab segment reacts with the RBD region of the SARS-CoV-2S protein to form an antigen-antibody compound, and purification, crystallization and X-crystal diffraction analysis are performed. The method comprises the following steps: analyzing an antigen-antibody compound structure by using a homologous compound three-dimensional structure in a PDB database as a model to obtain amino acid residues interacting with a neutralizing antibody on SARS-CoV-2S protein RBD, carrying out site-specific mutagenesis on key amino acid residues, and detecting the affinity of an SARS-CoV-2S protein RBD mutant and the neutralizing antibody Fab. And determining the epitope peptide fragment according to the influence degree of the RBD point mutation on the affinity. The invention also provides application of the epitope peptide fragment in preparation of a fusion antigen for detecting SARS-CoV-2, and application of the epitope peptide fragment in preparation of an immunogen for preparing a vaccine or an antibody.
