Preparation and identification of monoclonal antibodies against structural proteins of SARS-CoV-2
Journal Title: Journal of Air Force Medical University - Year 2023, Vol 44, Issue 7
Abstract
Objective To prepare murine-derived monoclonal antibodies ( mAbs) against the S1 subunit of spike protein (S protein) and nucleoprotein (N protein) of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 ( SARS-CoV-2) for preliminary identification of their functions and applications, and to prepare human-mouse chimeric antibodies with high affinity and neutralizing activity. Methods BALB / c mice were immunized with the S1 subunit of S protein and N protein of the recombinant SARS-CoV-2, respectively. MAbs against the S1 subunit of S protein and N protein were prepared by conventional B-cell hybridoma technique, and their application values were evaluated by Western blotting and immunohistochemical staining. A sandwich ELISA method for detecting the soluble S protein and N protein was established. The neutralizing activity of specific antibodies was detected based on pseudovirus-luciferase detection system. Hybridoma cell lines secreting neutralizing mAbs against the S1 subunit of S protein were sequenced to prepare human-mouse chimeric antibodies. Results A total of 53 hybridoma cell lines secreting murine mAbs against the S1 subunit of S protein of SARS-CoV-2 were obtained, with clone numbers named XA326. 1 - XA326. 53, and 42 hybridoma cell lines secreting murine mAbs against SARS-CoV-2 N protein were obtained, with clone numbers named XA327. 1 - XA327. 42. Preliminary identification showed that 9 strains of mAbs against the soluble S1 subunit of S protein and 8 strains of mAbs against soluble N protein of SARS-CoV-2 could be used for Western blotting, while 9 strains of mAbs against the S1 subunit of S protein and 4 strains of mAbs against N protein of SARS-CoV-2 could be applied to immunohistochemical staining. A sandwich ELISA kit with mAb XA326. 7 as coating antibody and biotin-labeled mAb XA326. 19 as detection antibody was established to detect the soluble S1 subunit of S protein of SARS-CoV-2 in serum, and a sandwich ELISA kit with mAb XA327. 37 as coating antibody and biotin-labeled mAb XA327. 25 as detection antibody was established to detect the soluble N protein of SARS-CoV-2 in serum. XA326. 4, XA326. 7, XA326. 8, and XA326. 49 mAbs had neutralizing activity, which could block viral infection of human ACE2-positive cells in the pseudovirus infection experiment. Conclusion The preparation of murine mAbs against the S1 subunit of S protein and N protein of SARS-CoV-2 can be used in a variety of immunological detection techniques. The neutralizing antibodies XA326. 4, XA326. 7, XA326. 8, and XA326. 49 have potential clinical application value.
