Proteomics Platform Reveals Broad-Spectrum Nanobodies for SARS-CoV-2 Variant Neutralization.
Journal of Proteome Research 2024 April 12
The ongoing evolution of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has led to the emergence of different variants of concerns with immune evasion that have been prevalent over the past three years. Nanobodies, the functional variable regions of camelid heavy-chain-only antibodies, have garnered interest in developing neutralizing antibodies due to their smaller size, structural stability, ease of production, high affinity, and low immunogenicity, among other characteristics. In this work, we describe an integrated proteomics platform for the high-throughput screening of nanobodies against different SARS-CoV-2 spike variants. To demonstrate this platform, we immunized a camel with subunit 1 (S1) of the wild-type spike protein and constructed a nanobody phage library. The binding and neutralizing activities of the nanobodies against 72 spike variants were then measured, resulting in the identification of two nanobodies (C-282 and C-39) with broad neutralizing activity against six non-Omicron variants (D614G, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Kappa) and five Omicron variants (BA.1-5). Their neutralizing capability was validated using in vitro pseudovirus-based neutralization assays. All these results demonstrate the utility of our proteomics platform to identify new nanobodies with broad neutralizing capability and to develop a treatment for patients with SARS-CoV-2 variant infection in the future.
