<front><div type="abstract" xml:lang="en"><p>Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is continuously spreading and causing severe and fatal acute respiratory disease in humans. Prophylactic and therapeutic strategies are therefore urgently needed to control MERS-CoV infection. Here, we generated a humanized monoclonal antibody (mAb), designated hMS-1, which targeted the MERS-CoV receptor-binding domain (RBD) with high affinity. hMS-1 significantly blocked MERS-CoV RBD binding to its viral receptor, human dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (hDPP4), potently neutralized infection by a prototype MERS-CoV, and effectively cross-neutralized evolved MERS-CoV isolates through recognizing highly conserved RBD epitopes. Notably, single-dose treatment with hMS-1 completely protected hDPP4 transgenic (hDPP4-Tg) mice from lethal infection with MERS-CoV. Taken together, our data suggest that hMS-1 might be developed as an effective immunotherapeutic agent to treat patients infected with MERS-CoV, particularly in emergent cases.</p>

<abstract id="abs0010"><p>Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is continuously spreading and causing severe and fatal acute respiratory disease in humans. Prophylactic and therapeutic strategies are therefore urgently needed to control MERS-CoV infection. Here, we generated a humanized monoclonal antibody (mAb), designated hMS-1, which targeted the MERS-CoV receptor-binding domain (RBD) with high affinity. hMS-1 significantly blocked MERS-CoV RBD binding to its viral receptor, human dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (hDPP4), potently neutralized infection by a prototype MERS-CoV, and effectively cross-neutralized evolved MERS-CoV isolates through recognizing highly conserved RBD epitopes. Notably, single-dose treatment with hMS-1 completely protected hDPP4 transgenic (hDPP4-Tg) mice from lethal infection with MERS-CoV. Taken together, our data suggest that hMS-1 might be developed as an effective immunotherapeutic agent to treat patients infected with MERS-CoV, particularly in emergent cases.</p>

<title>Introduction</title>
<p id="p0035">Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), first isolated from a Saudi Arabian patient in September 2012 (<xref rid="bib33" ref-type="bibr">Zaki et al., 2012</xref>
), causes human infection in other parts of the world and thus has become a global concern. In particular, an outbreak in South Korea in 2015 resulted in 186 infections with 36 deaths (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.who.int/csr/don/21-july-2015-mers-korea/en/" id="intref0010">http://www.who.int/csr/don/21-july-2015-mers-korea/en/</ext-link>
). As of March 16, 2016, a total of 1,690 laboratory-confirmed cases including over 600 deaths have been reported (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.who.int/emergencies/mers-cov/en/" id="intref0015">http://www.who.int/emergencies/mers-cov/en/</ext-link>
), representing a mortality rate of 36%. The symptoms caused by MERS-CoV are similar to those from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), a related coronavirus with a 10% fatality rate that led to the 2002–2003 epidemic (<xref rid="bib25" ref-type="bibr">Skowronski et al., 2004</xref>
, <xref rid="bib37" ref-type="bibr">Zhong et al., 2003</xref>
). Unlike SARS-CoV, for which no additional cases have been reported since 2005 (<xref rid="bib8" ref-type="bibr">Du et al., 2009</xref>
), MERS-CoV has shown continually increasing numbers of cases, particularly in Saudi Arabia, suggesting its potential future epidemic status. Nevertheless, no clinically approved vaccines or antiviral therapeutics are currently available, highlighting the urgent need of potent strategies to combat this virus.</p>
<p id="p0040">MERS-CoV belongs to the <italic>Betacoronavirus</italic>
genus of the coronavirus family (<xref rid="bib7" ref-type="bibr">de Groot et al., 2013</xref>
, <xref rid="bib33" ref-type="bibr">Zaki et al., 2012</xref>
). Its spike protein, consisting of S1 and S2 subunits, plays important roles in viral entry into host cells (<xref rid="bib1" ref-type="bibr">Bonavia et al., 2003</xref>
, <xref rid="bib13" ref-type="bibr">Gao et al., 2013</xref>
, <xref rid="bib30" ref-type="bibr">Xu et al., 2004</xref>
). MERS-CoV depends on the receptor-binding domain (RBD) in the S1 subunit to bind to its viral receptor, human dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (hDPP4), on the host cell surface, following which the S2 subunit undergoes a dramatic conformational change to allow for membrane fusion and subsequent MERS-CoV penetration into the cellular membrane (<xref rid="bib13" ref-type="bibr">Gao et al., 2013</xref>
, <xref rid="bib17" ref-type="bibr">Lu et al., 2013</xref>
, <xref rid="bib22" ref-type="bibr">Raj et al., 2013</xref>
, <xref rid="bib29" ref-type="bibr">Wang et al., 2013</xref>
). Therefore, the entry of MERS-CoV into target cells might be prevented by either blocking RBD/DPP4 viral receptor binding or by inhibiting MERS-CoV/host cell membrane fusion.</p>
<p id="p0045">Vaccines and passive therapeutics are effective approaches against viral infections. In general, vaccines cannot provide immediate prophylactic protection against or treatment of ongoing viral infection. In comparison, passive therapeutics based on neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) has emerged as a powerful tool to provide prophylactic and therapeutic protection against viral infection (<xref rid="bib9" ref-type="bibr">Du et al., 2013a</xref>
, <xref rid="bib38" ref-type="bibr">Zhu et al., 2013</xref>
). Several human or humanized viral-neutralizing mAbs have been developed, almost all of which target the RBD (<xref rid="bib5" ref-type="bibr">Corti et al., 2015</xref>
, <xref rid="bib15" ref-type="bibr">Jiang et al., 2014</xref>
, <xref rid="bib16" ref-type="bibr">Li et al., 2015</xref>
, <xref rid="bib20" ref-type="bibr">Pascal et al., 2015</xref>
, <xref rid="bib27" ref-type="bibr">Tang et al., 2014</xref>
, <xref rid="bib31" ref-type="bibr">Ying et al., 2014</xref>
, <xref rid="bib32" ref-type="bibr">Yu et al., 2015</xref>
), further suggesting that MERS-CoV RBD represents an ideal target for neutralizing mAb development.</p>
<p id="p0050">We previously developed a murine mAb, Mersmab1, that targets MERS-CoV RBD and potently neutralizes MERS-CoV infection (<xref rid="bib11" ref-type="bibr">Du et al., 2014</xref>
). Here, we humanized Mersmab1 and generated a humanized mAb, hMS-1, which exhibited high affinity RBD binding. We first investigated the activity as well as the mechanism of hMS-1 in neutralizing MERS-CoV cell entry. Second, we evaluated its ability to neutralize emergent MERS-CoV strains. Finally, we demonstrated that single-dose treatment with hMS-1 was able to elicit full protection against lethal MERS-CoV infection in an hDPP4 transgenic (hDPP4-Tg) mouse model. Of note, hMS-1 represents the first mAb reported to exhibit this capacity to protect treated animals from the lethal infection of MERS-CoV.</p>

<title>Generation of humanized mAb hMS-1</title>
<p id="p0065">The hMS-1 mAb was generated by humanizing the murine mAb Mersmab1 using a previously described protocol (<xref rid="bib2" ref-type="bibr">Boulianne et al., 1984</xref>
). Briefly, total RNA was isolated from the Mersmab1 hybridoma cells and used to synthesize cDNA. Primers mVH-f (5′ ATG GRA TGG AGC TGG ATC TT 3′) and mVH-r (5′ ATA GAC AGA TGG GGG TGT CGT TTT GGC 3′) were used to amplify the variable region of the heavy chain (<italic>V</italic>

genes were inserted into the pRBO/Ig expression vector (containing human IgG1-and human immunoglobulin kappa chain constant regions). Recombinant plasmid was transfected into 293F cells and humanized mAb was purified from the cell culture supernatants. Purified hMS-1 mAbs were resolved by reducing 12% sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and non-reducing 8% SDS-PAGE, respectively.</p>

<title>Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)</title>
<p id="p0070">The reactivity of hMS-1 and MERS-CoV RBD was detected by ELISA as described (<xref rid="bib11" ref-type="bibr">Du et al., 2014</xref>
). Briefly, ELISA plates were coated overnight at 4 °C with His<sub>6</sub>
-tagged RBD protein (1 μg/ml) and blocked with 2% no-fat milk at 37 °C for 2 h. Serial diluted hMS-1 or trastuzumab control (Roche, Roswell, GA, USA) was added to the plates and incubated at 37 °C for 1 h. Horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-human IgG (1:5,000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA) was then added and further incubated at 37 °C for 1 h. The reaction was visualized by TMB substrate addition (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and stopped by 1N H<sub>2</sub>
SO<sub>4</sub>
. The absorbance at 450 nm was measured using an ELISA plate reader (BioTek, Winooski, VT, USA). The half-maximal effective concentration (EC<sub>50</sub>
) of hMS-1 was calculated using GraphPad Prism 5.01 software (La Jolla, CA, USA). hMS-1 epitope mapping was performed by ELISA as described above except that the ELISA plates were coated with a series of mutant RBD proteins (2.5 μg/ml).</p>

<title>Surface plasmon resonance (SPR)</title>
<p id="p0075">The affinity of hMS-1 binding to the MERS-CoV RBD was assayed using a Biacore T100 instrument (GE Healthcare, Little Chalfont, UK). hMS-1 (5 μg/ml) was immobilized on a CM5 sensor chip with an amine coupling kit. The reference flow cell was treated with amine coupling reagent without exposure to hMS-1. The running buffer was HBS-EP (10 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 3 mM EDTA, and 0.05% surfactant P20). His<sub>6</sub>
-tagged RBD protein at gradient concentrations (2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 nM) was flowed over the chip surface. The chip was regenerated with 100 mM H<sub>3</sub>
PO<sub>4</sub>
. The sensorgram was analyzed using BIAevaluation software, and the data were fitted to a 1:1 binding model.</p>

<title>Humanized mAb hMS-1 neutralizes MERS-CoV infection by blocking the binding of MERS-CoV RBD to the hDPP4 receptor</title>
<p id="p0125">The neutralizing activity of hMS-1 against live MERS-CoV infection was determined. hMS-1 could potently neutralize infection of live MERS-CoV (EMC2012 strain) in permissive Vero cells with an ND<sub>50</sub>
of 3.34 μg/ml (<xref rid="tbl1" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>
) whereas trastuzumab did not exhibit antiviral activity against MERS-CoV infection. These results suggest that humanized hMS-1 maintained the potent ability to neutralize MERS-CoV infection.</p>
<p id="p0130">Since hMS-1 targeted the MERS-CoV RBD, its neutralization mechanism was thus investigated by measuring its ability to block the binding between MERS-CoV RBD and the hDPP4 receptor by flow cytometric analysis (<xref rid="bib11" ref-type="bibr">Du et al., 2014</xref>
). Whereas high fluorescence intensity was detected in Huh-7 cells incubated with RBD protein alone, only background fluorescence levels were observed in the RBD-Huh-7 binding samples in the presence of hMS-1 at 5 μg/ml. This suggested that hMS-1 was able to strongly block the binding between MERS-CoV RBD and cell-associated hDPP4 (<xref rid="fig2" ref-type="fig">Fig. 2</xref>
A) and that the blocking effect occurred in a dose-dependent manner (<xref rid="fig2" ref-type="fig">Fig. 2</xref>
B). In contrast, trastuzumab did not affect MERS-CoV RBD binding to the DPP4-expressing Huh-7 cells (<xref rid="fig2" ref-type="fig">Fig. 2</xref>

<title>Humanized mAb hMS-1 recognizes conserved RBD epitopes and cross-neutralizes MERS-CoV evolutionary strains</title>
<p id="p0135">To identify the epitopes on the MERS-CoV RBD recognized by hMS-1, we utilized a panel of mutant RBD proteins generated by mutating the key residues at the MERS-CoV RBD and the hDPP4 binding interface to alanine (<xref rid="bib11" ref-type="bibr">Du et al., 2014</xref>
); the binding between hMS-1 and the respective mutant RBD proteins was then measured by ELISA as described (<xref rid="bib13" ref-type="bibr">Gao et al., 2013</xref>
, <xref rid="bib17" ref-type="bibr">Lu et al., 2013</xref>
). hMS-1 was not capable of recognizing the RBD of the R511A mutant and reduced its binding to RBDs with mutations at D510A and W553A, respectively (<xref rid="fig3" ref-type="fig">Fig. 3</xref>
A). In comparison, the remaining mutations on the RBD did not affect the binding between hMS-1 and RBD with the exception of L506A, which exhibited a slight loss of binding activity. A pseudovirus neutralization assay further revealed that pseudotyped MERS-CoV expressing the spike protein containing R511A, D510A, or W553A mutants completely abolished (R511A), or reduced (D510A or W553A) the inhibitory effect of hMS-1 on pseudovirus infection. In contrast, L506A did not change the ability of hMS-1 to inhibit MERS pseudovirus infection (<xref rid="fig3" ref-type="fig">Fig. 3</xref>

Here, we further humanized this mAb and evaluated its binding affinity to RBD, inhibitory ability against RBD-hDPP4 binding, and neutralizing and cross-neutralizing activity against divergent MERS-CoV strains isolated from the 2012–2015 outbreaks. The therapeutic potential of the humanized hMS-1 mAb was also investigated in hDPP4-Tg mice.</p>
<p id="p0155">Our data clearly showed that humanized hMS-1 mAb maintained strong reactivity to the RBD, significantly blocking RBD/hDPP4 receptor binding and potently neutralizing MERS-CoV infection. As it has been demonstrated that MERS-CoV underwent evolution during the 2012–2015 outbreaks (<xref rid="bib6" ref-type="bibr">Cotten et al., 2013</xref>
, <xref rid="bib24" ref-type="bibr">Sabir et al., 2016</xref>
), we evaluated the hMS-1 cross-neutralizing activity against these MERS-CoV emergent strains. hMS-1 recognized three key residues (neutralizing epitopes) of MERS-CoV RBD all of which were highly conserved during MERS-CoV evolution, leading to the hypothesis that hMS-1 might be effective in combatting the infections of different MERS-CoV emerging isolates. Notably, hMS-1 could potently neutralize a series of pseudoviruses expressing the spike proteins of MERS-CoVs isolated from outbreaks in different regions including Saudi Arabia and South Korea over the 2012–2015 period, demonstrating its cross-neutralizing activity against MERS-CoV spread and evolution.</p>
<p id="p0160">Several neutralizing mAbs including LCA60, REGN3051, REGN3048, 4C2h, and m336 have been tested <italic>in vivo</italic>
for their protective efficacy using non-lethal MERS-CoV challenge mouse or rabbit models (<xref rid="bib5" ref-type="bibr">Corti et al., 2015</xref>
, <xref rid="bib16" ref-type="bibr">Li et al., 2015</xref>
, <xref rid="bib20" ref-type="bibr">Pascal et al., 2015</xref>
, <xref rid="bib14" ref-type="bibr">Houser et al., 2016</xref>
). In this study, we evaluated the protective efficacy of hMS-1 in a lethal hDPP4-Tg mouse model, wherein we demonstrated that a single-dose (2 mg/kg) of hMS-1 completely protected hDPP4-Tg mice from a lethal challenge from MERS-CoV. This study therefore suggests that hMS-1 might be further developed as a potent passive therapeutic agent to treat patients infected with MERS-CoV.</p>

<caption><p>Amino acid differences among the RBDs of the S proteins of natural MERS-CoV isolates. A total of 278 full-length spike proteins of MERS-CoV isolates were aligned. Different amino acid residues among the RBDs of natural isolates are listed. Amino acids in the top row show consensus residues and the numbers of the corresponding amino acid residues are indicated. Parenthesized numbers on the left indicate the counts of isolates with identical sequences in the amino acid region. The residues of the MERS-CoV RBD and receptor-binding motif (RBM) are illustrated at the top of the figure.</p>
