Anti-SARS-CoV-2 & SARS-CoV Spike recombinant antibody

Antibody description

InvivoGen provides a family of Anti-Spike RBD CR3022-derived monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in multiple human and mouse isotypes. These mAbs feature:

  • the variable region of the CR3022 human mAb that specifically targets the Spike receptor-binding domain (RBD) [1]
  • a constant region that mediates different effector functions depending on the isotype (human IgG1, hIgG1NQ, hIgA1, or hIgM, and mouse IgG2a or mIgG1e3 ) (See Table)

The Anti-Spike RBD clone CR3022 is a SARS-CoV neutralizing antibody that was obtained from the screening of an antibody-phage library and converted to a human IgG1 format [1]. SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 (2019-nCoV) RBD share a highly conserved epitope (86% shared identity) that is recognized by CR3022 [2, 3]. To date, the neutralization potency of CR3022 for SARS-CoV-2 is still unclear [3, 4]. Indeed, CR3022 does not interfere with the ACE2 binding motif [2-4].

Details

Previous studies during the SARS-CoV outbreak have identified Spike-specific neutralizing antibodies in the serum of convalescent patients, and have shown that most of them target the ACE2 receptor-binding domain (RBD) [1]. Thus, Spike RBD is a privileged candidate for vaccination and treatment strategies in the context of COVID-19.
 
One strategy is to study the potential cross-reactivity of SARS-CoV neutralizing antibodies with the SARS-CoV-2.
The anti-Spike RBD clone CR3022 is a SARS-CoV neutralizing antibody that was obtained from the screening of an antibody-phage library and converted to a human IgG1 format [2]. SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV Spike RBD share 73% identity [3]. Modeling and in vitro studies have shown that CR3022 is also binding to SARS-CoV-2 RBD [4]. This cross-reactivity is explained by the 86% shared amino acid identity between the CR3022 epitopes from the two viruses [4]. Importantly, CR3022 does not interfere with the ACE2 binding motif [2-5]. Thus, CR3022 could be used alone or in combination with other antibodies or soluble ACE2 to maximize the neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 (Wuhan-Hu-1, D614) and mutant isolates [6].
 
Structural studies have led to a binding model where:
  • the CR3022 epitope in RBD does not overlap with the ACE2 receptor binding motif [2-5]
  • the CR3022 epitopes in SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 RBD share 24 residues out of 28 (86% identity in amino acids) [4]
  • Spike trimers stochastically exhibit their RBD in a “down” or “up” state [7, 8]
  • the CR3022 antibody only accesses its epitope when at least two RBDs are in the “up” conformation and slightly-rotated [4, 5]
  • CR3022 does not sterically prevent ACE2 binding to RBD [4, 5]
 
To this date, there are discrepancies among studies addressing the CR3022 neutralization activity and underlying mechanisms.
Yuan et al. used a microneutralization assay to show that CR3022 can neutralize SARS-CoV, but not SARS-CoV-2 [4]. On the contrary, Huo et al, showed that CR3022 does neutralize SARS-CoV-2, and their experimental data suggest that neutralization occurs by the destruction of the Spike protein in its prefusion conformation [5].
