Abstrakt: | Current vaccine efforts to combat SARS-CoV-2 are focused on the whole spike protein administered as mRNA, viral vector, or protein subunit. However, the SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD) is the immunodominant portion of the spike protein, accounting for 90% of serum neutralizing activity. In this study, we constructed several versions of RBD and together with aluminum hydroxide or DDA (dimethyldioctadecylammonium bromide)/TDB (d-(+)-trehalose 6,6'-dibehenate) adjuvant evaluated immunogenicity in mice. We generated human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 knock-in mice to evaluate vaccine efficacy in vivo following viral challenge. We found that 1) subdomain (SD)1 was essential for the RBD to elicit maximal immunogenicity; 2) RBDSD1 produced in mammalian HEK cells elicited better immunogenicity than did protein produced in insect or yeast cells; 3) RBDSD1 combined with the CD4 Th1 adjuvant DDA/TDB produced higher neutralizing Ab responses and stronger CD4 T cell responses than did aluminum hydroxide; 4) addition of monomeric human Fc receptor to RBDSD1 (RBDSD1Fc) significantly enhanced immunogenicity and neutralizing Ab titers; 5) the Beta version of RBDSD1Fc provided a broad range of cross-neutralization to multiple antigenic variants of concern, including Omicron; and 6) the Beta version of RBDSD1Fc with DDA/TDB provided complete protection against virus challenge in the knock-in mouse model. Thus, we have identified an optimized RBD-based subunit vaccine suitable for clinical trials. (Copyright © 2023 by The American Association of Immunologists, Inc.) |
