Abstract

Highlights

Identification of neutralizing mAbs using MERS-CoV spike-pseudotyped virus.

Transmembrane domain-deleted spike subunit protein induced neutralizing antibodies.

Neutralizing antibodies could bind to RBD of MERS-CoV spike, but not vice versa.

Mutation in residue 506–509 or 529 of S elicits neutralization escape of MERS-CoV.

Our mAbs can be utilized for identification of specific mutation of MERS-CoV.

<abstract id="abs0010">
<p>Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) causes severe pulmonary infection, with ∼35 % mortality. Spike glycoprotein (S) of MERS-CoV is a key target for vaccines and therapeutics because S mediates viral entry and membrane-fusion to host cells. Here, four different S subunit proteins, receptor-binding domain (RBD; 358–606 aa), S1 (1–751 aa), S2 (752–1296 aa), and SΔTM (1–1296 aa), were generated using the baculoviral system and immunized in mice to develop neutralizing antibodies. We developed 77 hybridomas and selected five neutralizing mAbs by immunization with SΔTM against MERS-CoV EMC/2012 strain S-pseudotyped lentivirus. However, all five monoclonal antibodies (mAb) did not neutralize the pseudotyped V534A mutation. Additionally, one mAb RBD-14F8 did not show neutralizing activity against pseudoviruses with amino acid substitution of L506 F or D509 G (England1 strain, EMC/2012 L506 F, and EMC/2012 D509 G), and RBD-43E4 mAb could not neutralize the pseudotyped I529 T mutation, while three other neutralizing mAbs showed broad neutralizing activity. This implies that the mutation in residue 506–509, 529, and 534 of S is critical to generate neutralization escape variants of MERS-CoV. Interestingly, all five neutralizing mAbs have binding affinity to RBD, although most mAbs generated by RBD did not have neutralizing activity. Additionally, chimeric antibodies of RBD-14F8 and RBD-43E4 with human Fc and light chain showed neutralizing effect against wild type MERS-CoV KOR/KNIH/002, similar to the original mouse mAbs. Thus, our mAbs can be utilized for the identification of specific mutations of MERS-CoV.</p>

<title>Introduction</title>
<p id="par0030">Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) causes an acute and severe respiratory disease with high mortality in humans (
<xref rid="bib0105" ref-type="bibr">van Boheemen et al., 2012</xref>
). MERS-CoV was first identified in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 2012, which is a single and positive stranded RNA virus (
<xref rid="bib0020" ref-type="bibr">de Groot et al., 2013</xref>
). As of 8th July 2019, 2,428 laboratory-confirmed cases of MERS worldwide, including 838 associated deaths, with a mortality rate of 34.5 %, were reported. Dromedary camels are widely considered as the source of the transmission of MERS-CoV (
<xref rid="bib0040" ref-type="bibr">Hemida et al., 2017</xref>
). The rate of human transmission among household contacts of MERS patients has been approximately 5 % based on serological analysis (
<xref rid="bib0030" ref-type="bibr">Drosten et al., 2014</xref>
). However, nosocomial super-spreading events occurred in South Korea in 2015 and the rapid and widespread of MERS-CoV from May to July 2015 raised strong concerns regarding the possible generation of mutations with enhanced sequential human infection (
<xref rid="bib0010" ref-type="bibr">Cho et al., 2016</xref>
).</p>
<p id="par0035">The spike (S) glycoprotein of MERS-CoV is a critical viral factor for human receptor-mediated infection and is cleaved into a receptor-binding subunit S1 and a membrane-fusion subunit S2 during the infection process (
<xref rid="bib0120" ref-type="bibr">Wang et al., 2013</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib0125" ref-type="bibr">2014</xref>
;
<xref rid="bib0145" ref-type="bibr">Yu et al., 2015</xref>
). Since the MERS outbreak in South Korea, 13 new viral genomes from 14 infected Korean patients were isolated, and 12 of these genomes were identified to possess a point mutation in the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the S glycoprotein (
<xref rid="bib0045" ref-type="bibr">Kim et al., 2016a</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib0060" ref-type="bibr">b</xref>
;
<xref rid="bib0070" ref-type="bibr">Min et al., 2016</xref>
). Specifically, 11 of these genomes showed an I529 T mutation in RBD, and 1 showed a D510 G mutation, which exhibits reduced affinity of RBD to its cellular receptor, human dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4; also known as CD26), compared with the wild type RBD, suggesting that MERS-CoV adaptation during human-to-human spread may be driven to escape from neutralizing antibodies, rather than to evolve for a stronger affinity to DPP4 (
<xref rid="bib0060" ref-type="bibr">Kim et al., 2016b</xref>
;
<xref rid="bib0085" ref-type="bibr">Park et al., 2016</xref>
). Therefore, several mAbs against different epitopes within S might be used as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent to avoid the immune escape of the virus.</p>
<p id="par0040">Because the conformation of RBD in full-length S and its truncated versions may differ, recombinant RBD subunit protein itself may not induce neutralizing antibodies as efficiently as a larger subunit such as S1 or transmembrane deleted S (SΔTM) (
<xref rid="bib0115" ref-type="bibr">Wang et al., 2015</xref>
). In this study, we produced recombinant RBD, S1, S2, and SΔTM proteins from insect cells using baculovirus and induced neutralizing antibodies from the mice by immunization with each subunit protein. We developed mAbs by hybridoma technique and several mAbs were selected and characterized for their neutralizing activity against 15 different MERS-CoV S-pseudotyped virus and wild type KOR/KNIH/002. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the development of diagnostic tools of MERS-CoV S mutation as well as for mAb-based therapeutics.</p>

<title>Immunization and hybridoma generation</title>
<p id="par0065">Female Balb/c mice were purchased from Nara Biotech, Korea. The animal experiments for immunization and collecting ascites were approved by the IACUC (IACUC protocol number ATGen 2016-0113-06 and ATGen 2016-0113-07, respectively). Mice were immunized twice with a 2-week interval with 25 μg MERS-CoV recombinant S subunit protein (SΔTM, S1, S2, and RBD) combined with 150 μL Freund’s complete adjuvant (Sigma, St Louis, CA, USA) via the subcutaneous route. The mice were sacrificed 3 or 4 days after the last immunization, and their splenocytes were fused with mouse myeloma cells FO at a 5:1 ratio in the presence of PEG1500 (Roche, Basel, Switzerland). After 10 days of culture with hypoxanthine-aminopterin-thymidine medium, ELISA-positive hybridomas were subjected to limited dilutions and further selected based on pseudovirus neutralization results. For large-scale mAb production, ascites fluid from mice inoculated with the hybridomas was collected and purified using a rProtein A Agarose Resin (Amicogen, Jinju, Korea). Isotype classification of the purified mAbs was performed using the Pierce Rapid ELISA Mouse mAb Isotyping Kit (Thermo) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.</p>

<title>Identification of neutralizing mAbs against MERS-CoV S using pseudovirus system</title>
<p id="par0105">MERS-CoV S-pseudotyped lentivirus was produced to evaluate the neutralizing activity of antibodies secreted by hybridoma cells. Pseudovirus expressing the MERS-CoV spike protein was generated by co-transfection of the plasmids of HIV-1 Gag/pol, luciferase-expressing HIV-1, and S into HEK 293 T cells. We used S genes without an endoplasmic reticulum signal (

gene, except for the RBD region (
<xref rid="tbl0010" ref-type="table">Table 2</xref>

<p id="par0110">Next, the neutralizing activity of a panel of ELISA-positive 77 hybridomas was evaluated against MERS-CoV EMC/2012 strain S-pseudotyped virions. The inhibition of the pseudovirus infection by antibodies was quantified by luciferase activity in pseudovirus-infected cells (
<xref rid="fig0010" ref-type="fig">Fig. 2</xref>
A). Selected clones were further tested against S-pseudotyped KOR/KNIH/002 strain (
<xref rid="fig0010" ref-type="fig">Fig. 2</xref>
B), and seven clones were selected: six clones (6, 23, 25, 40, 43, and 14) and one clone (14S2) generated by SΔTM and S2 immunization, respectively. Among these clones, 6 (SΔTM) did not neutralize both EMC/2012 and KOR/KNIH-002 strains, and 14 (S2) inhibited the entry of both pseudotyped strains to the target 786O cells with approximately 50 % activity. All these seven clones were further sub-cloned and finally, mAbs S1-6E6, RBD-14F8, RBD-23D3, RBD-25E4, RBD-40G7, RBD-43E4 by SΔTM, and S2-14H8 by S2 were purified and characterized for IgG subclass and light chain type (
<xref rid="tbl0015" ref-type="table">Table 3</xref>

<title>Neutralizing effect of mAbs against various MERS-CoV S pseudoviruses</title>
<p id="par0115">To evaluate whether the mAbs have cross-protective capability against various MERS-CoV strains, we further examined neutralizing activity against our MERS-CoV S pseudovirus, in which the S gene contained different RBD region of England1/ England-Qatar (L506 F), Qatar3 (S460 F), Riyadh1/Bisha1 (D509 G), Riyadh2 (V534A), Al-Hasa8c (N582I), Riyadh9 (A431 P and A482 V), Asir2f (A434 V), Riyadh345/Riyadh59 (T424I), Jeddah_C9313 (Q522 H), KOR/CNUH_SNU/122 (D510 G), KOR/CNUH_SNU/016_06 (V529 T), or KOR/KNIH/002 (V530 L) strains (

<title>Discussion</title>
<p id="par0135">In this study, we aimed to develop mAbs specific to MERS-CoV to utilize them as therapeutics or diagnostic tools of variant MERS-CoV strains. MERS-CoV is a single, positive stranded RNA virus of approximately 30 kb, which encodes four major viral structural proteins, including S, envelope, membrane, and nucleocapsid as well as several accessory proteins. Since MERS-CoV S mediates viral attachment and fusion to human cells via human cellular receptor DPP4, also known as CD26, we considered S as a target for mAb development including neutralizing antibodies.</p>
<p id="par0140">We generated mAbs by mouse hybridoma technique using recombinant S subunit proteins as antigens. We selected the 7 mAbs from 77 hybridomas based on the specific binding ability to each S subunit and characterized their neutralizing activity against diverse MERS-CoV S pseudoviruses: six mAbs were developed by SΔTM showing specific binding affinity to non-RBD S1, and RBD; the other one mAb was produced by S2 subunit protein immunization. Polyclonal serum developed by S1 showed high neutralizing activity against both EMC/2012 and KOR/KNIH/002 S pseudovirions, which was comparable to SΔTM immunization (data not shown). However, we failed to obtain potent neutralizing mAbs from S1-immunized mice under our experimental condition. Our RBD-specific mAbs, RBD-14F8, -23D3, -25E4, -40G7, and -43E4, showed higher neutralizing potency than other non-RBD-binding mAbs (S1-6E6 for non-RBD S1, and S2-14H8 for S2), which is consistent with the fact that most reported neutralizing mAbs are RBD-specific (

<p id="par0145">In our study, the RBD subunit protein itself could not induce sufficient neutralizing activity, unlike SΔTM protein, which suggests that the design of antigen to possess an appropriate structural conformation is crucial for developing vaccines and therapeutic neutralizing antibodies. The baculoviral expression system produced all recombinant S subunit proteins in this study. Hence, the baculovirus-expressed SΔTM can be considered as a promising MERS-CoV vaccine antigen given its ability to induce potent neutralizing antibodies, although it does not have trimerization tag for pre-fusion conformation (
<xref rid="bib0080" ref-type="bibr">Pallesen et al., 2017</xref>
) and may have different glycosylation patterns as compared to mammalian-expressed S proteins (
<xref rid="bib0065" ref-type="bibr">Li et al., 2016</xref>
).</p>
<p id="par0150">Our mAbs RBD-23D3, RBD-25E4, and RBD-40G7 targeting RBD showed high cross-neutralizing activities against 14 different MERS-CoV S pseudoviruses. In contrast, the transduction of pseudovirions with the change of V534A in RBD of EMC/2012 was not inhibited by any of our mAbs. Interestingly, two mAbs, RBD-14F8 and RBD-43E4, did not neutralize another pseudovirion with specific mutation in RBD region: RBD-14F8 could not neutralize the pseudovirions with changes in the amino acid residue at 506, 510, and particularly at 509 site (D509 G); meanwhile, RBD-43E4 did not neutralize pseudovirions with the mutation at 529 amino acid residue (I529 T) compared with the EMC/2012 strain S sequence. A single amino acid change in the RBD region was identified in 2015 Korea outbreak patients and it was reported that the mutation of either D510 G or I529 T reduces the viral affinity to human cellular receptor DPP4 (
<xref rid="bib0060" ref-type="bibr">Kim et al., 2016b</xref>
). In our experiments, lower luciferase activity was also observed in 786O target cells after pseudovirus infection with D510 G or I529 T mutation. The mAb CDC-C2 developed by US NIH possessed binding affinity to RBD and lost neutralizing effect against pseudovirions with mutations at 509, 512, 534, 536, 539, 540, or 542 amino acid residues from EMC/2012 strain S amino acid sequence (
<xref rid="bib0110" ref-type="bibr">Wang et al., 2018</xref>
). The common amino acid that influences the loss of neutralization between CDC-C2 and our RBD-14F8 mAbs is the 509 residue. S2-binding S2-14H8 showed partial neutralizing activity against all tested pseudoviruses, and non-RBD S1-binding S1-6E6 did not hinder cell entry of the entire tested pseudoviruses at all. More structural data are needed to determine precise epitopes for each neutralizing mAb and the mechanisms by which combining the mAbs might delay viral escape.</p>
<p id="par0155">Wild type MERS-CoV KOR/KNIH/002 strain also showed susceptibility to RBD-23D3, -14F8, and -43E4 mAbs, regardless of its origin (either mouse or Fc-/light chain-humanized chimeric antibody). Humanized mAb may be utilized as caliber to measure human immune responses or therapeutic purposes in humans. However, symptoms often appear after the peak of viremia; combined neutralizing mAbs therapy would have to be used before the onset of symptoms to be early enough to avoid viremia. In addition, mAbs targeting non-RBD epitopes of MERS-CoV S may have potential clinical applications in the prevention and/or treatment of disease. With animal models that reflect human MERS-CoV infection, the protective effect of these mAbs may be better assessed.</p>
<p id="par0160">In conclusion, several mAbs developed by murine hybridoma technique may be utilized as MERS-CoV diagnostics distinguishing S 509 and 529 escape mutant strains or combined therapeutic antibodies with humanized forms.</p>
