不同类型的抗体 (IgG,IgA,IgM) 对SARS-CoV-2变种的有效性各不相同. 由于空间适应性,IgA和IgM对IgG具有潜在的优势,有助于设计新的抗体疗法.
科学领域:
- 免疫学 免疫学 免疫学
- 病毒学 病毒学
- 结构生物学 结构生物学
背景情况:
- 新出现的SARS-CoV-2变种对抗体中和提出了挑战.
- 抗体的有效性取决于表位突变和抗原呈现.
研究的目的:
- 将抗RBD抗体 (8A5) 的IgG,IgA和IgM同型的中和能力与18种SARS-CoV-2变体进行比较.
- 调查影响差异抗体疗效的结构和空间因素.
主要方法:
- 使用8A5抗体的IgG,IgA和IgM同型对18种SARS-CoV-2变体进行中和评估.
- 进行突变分析以确定影响抗体结合的关键残留物.
- 利用负染色电子显微镜可视化维峰分布.
- 在不同的抗原密度下进行ELISA测定,以评估抗体结合.
主要成果:
- 确定了三个中和类:对所有异型敏感,对IgG耐药但对IgA/IgM敏感,对所有异型耐药.
- 特定突变 (S371L-S373P-S375F) 破坏了IgG的结合,而不是IgA/IgM.
- L371F突变取消了所有抗体相互作用.
- 在低抗原密度下,IgG结合显著下降,而IgA和IgM由于其结构和多价值性而保持结合.
- 空间适应性和几何因素有助于差异中和效率.
结论:
- IgA和IgM同型在中和SARS-CoV-2变种方面比IgG具有潜在的优势,特别是那些抗原呈现改变或表位稀疏的变种.
- 这些发现支持基于IgA和IgM的抗体疗法的合理设计,用于打击当前和未来的病毒威胁.

Diversity of Antigen Receptors
Before encountering any antigen, lymphocytes express these receptors. On B cells, the antigen receptor is a membrane-bound antibody molecule called BCR; on T cells, it is a T cell receptor or TCR. B and T cell receptors are composed of two...
Antibody Structure
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.

Antibody Structure and Classes
The basic structure of an antibody consists of four protein chains: two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains. These chains are held together by disulfide bonds and other non-covalent interactions, forming a Y-shaped structure.
