概括
新的SARS-CoV-2变种如P.1和B.1.351具有影响ACE2结合的突变. 单克隆抗体222可以中和这些变体,而它的轻链可以恢复抗体对它们的有效性.
科学领域:
- 病毒学
- 免疫学
- 结构生物学
背景情况:
- 在全球范围内,SARS-CoV-2 疫情需要进行疫苗接种.
- 目前的疫苗针对的是早期SARS-CoV-2分离的尖端蛋白.
- 新兴变种 (P.1,B.1.351,B.1.1.7) 具有多个尖端突变,包括在ACE2结合部位的突变.
研究的目的:
- 研究SARS-CoV-2变异对ACE2结合亲和力和中和性的影响.
- 评估单克隆抗体 (mAb) 222对新出现的SARS-CoV-2变种的疗效.
- 了解mAb 222中和的结构基础及其恢复抗体功能的潜力.
主要方法:

- 对突变尖端蛋白的ACE2结合 afinity 的评估.
- 使用自然感染或接种疫苗的个体和单克隆抗体的血清进行中和测试.
- 对mAb 222与尖端蛋白的相互作用进行结构分析.
主要成果:
- 在P.1和B.1.351中发生的突变,特别是E484K,K417N/T和N501Y三重组,增加了ACE2结合亲和力.
- 与B.1.351相比,P.1对抗体中和的抵抗性较低,这表明非受体结合域 (RBD) 突变的影响.
- 尽管mAb 222在ACE2结合部位内的向突变,但它有效地中和了P. 1, B.1. 351和B.1. 1.7变种.
- 结构洞察力揭示了mAb 222如何中和多个变体,并证明其轻链可以恢复对公共抗体的中和.
结论:

Defense Against Bacterial Pathogens
1.7K
The human immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to defend the body against bacterial infections. It consists of various immune cells, each playing a specific role in the defense mechanism.
Phagocytes
Phagocytes are the frontline soldiers of the immune system. They include neutrophils and macrophages. Neutrophils are the most abundant type of white blood cell and are quickly mobilized to the site of infection. Macrophages are larger cells that patrol...

Antibody Actions
1.7K
Antibodies, or immunoglobulins, are critical players in the immune system's arsenal against invading pathogens. Produced by B cells and plasma cells, their primary role is to detect and bind to specific antigens, molecules found on the surface of pathogens like bacteria or viruses. Beyond antigen recognition, antibodies perform several vital functions that contribute to immune defense.
Neutralization
Antibodies can bind to pathogens, preventing them from infecting host cells. This process...

Conjugated Proteins
23.2K
Simple proteins and protein complexes contain only amino acids. In contrast, many other proteins, called conjugated proteins, covalently bond with non-protein moieties.
Nucleoproteins are protein complexes that contain nucleic acids, categorized as deoxyribonucleoproteins (DNPs) or ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) respectively. The nucleosome is a typical example of a DNP where nuclear DNA is associated with histone proteins. The major antigen for the Covid-19 virus SARS-CoV is an RNP that is critical...
