  • Publication number: 20230293670
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel coronavirus recombinant spike protein, a polynucleotide encoding the same, a vector comprising the polynucleotide, and a vaccine for preventing or treating coronavirus infection, comprising the vector. The coronavirus recombinant spike protein of the present invention is stable and thereby not easily decomposed in cells, and effectively activates immune cells thereby resulting in a high antibody production amount and T cell reactivity. It was confirmed that the vector of the present invention exhibits a high antigen expression level and thereby has a high antibody production amount and T cell reactivity, has a long antibody production period and expression period, and does not show liver toxicity. Accordingly, the vector of the present invention can be helpfully used as a vaccine for preventing or treating coronavirus infection.

    Abstract: Polypeptides that specifically bind the spike (S) protein of human coronavirus, selected from six camel VHH single domain antibody phage display libraries, are described. The S protein-specific polypeptides disrupt binding of the SARS-CoV-2 and/or SARS-CoV S protein to the cellular receptor ACE2, which is important for neutralization of the virus. Use of the S protein-specific polypeptides for the diagnosis and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 and/or SARS-CoV is described.
