Identification of an IGHV3-53-Encoded RBD-Targeting Cross-Neutralizing Antibody from an Early COVID-19 Convalescent.
Pathogens 2024 March 24
Since November 2021, Omicron has emerged as the dominant severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variant, and its sublineages continue to appear one after another, significantly reducing the effectiveness of existing therapeutic neutralizing antibodies (NAbs). It is urgent to develop effective NAbs against circulating Omicron variants. Here, we isolated receptor binding domain (RBD)-specific single memory B cells via flow cytometry from a COVID-19 convalescent. The antibody variable region genes of the heavy chain (VHs) and light chain (VLs) were amplified and cloned into expression vectors. After antibody expression, ELISA screening and neutralizing activity detection, we obtained an IGHV3-53-encoded RBD-targeting cross-neutralizing antibody D6, whose VL originated from the IGKV1-9*01 germlines. D6 could potently neutralize circulating Omicron variants (BA.1, BA.2, BA.4/5 and BF.7), with IC50 values of less than 0.04 μg/mL, and the neutralizing ability against XBB was reduced but still effective. The KD values of D6 binding with RBD of the prototype and BA.1 were both less than 1.0 × 10-12 M. The protein structure of the D6-RBD model indicates that D6 interacts with the RBD external subdomain and belongs to the RBD-1 community. The sufficient contact and deep interaction of D6 HCDR3 and LCDR3 with RBD may be the crucial reason for its cross-neutralizing activity. The sorting and analysis of mAb D6 will provide important information for the development of anti-COVID-19 reagents.
