Scientific Data Images for SARS-CoV-2 Spike RBD Antibody

SARS-CoV-2 RBD variant protein (named E484K N501Y) binding to ACE-2-transfected Human Cell Line is Blocked by SARS2-RBD Antibody.

In a functional flow cytometry test, Recombinant SARS-CoV2-RBD-E484K N501Y His-tagged protein (10788-CV) binds to HEK293 human embryonic kidney cell linetransfected with recombinant human ACE-2 and eGFP. (A) Binding is completely blocked by 25 μg/mL of Mouse Anti-SARS2-RBD Antibody (Catalog #MAB11290) but not by (B) Mouse IgG2B Isotype Control (MAB004). Protein binding was detected with Mouse Anti-His APC-conjugated Monoclonal Antibody (IC050A). Staining was performed using our Staining Membrane-associated Proteins protocol.

ACE‑2 Binding to SARS-CoV-2 E484K N501Y Spike RBD is Blocked by SARS-CoV-2 Spike RBD Antibody.

In a functional ELISA, 0.0500 - 0.700 µg/mL of this antibody will block 50% of the binding of 50 ng/mL Recombinant Human ACE‑2 (933-ZN) to Recombinant SARS-CoV-2 E484K N501Y Spike RBD His-tag (10788-CV) immobilized at 0.5 ug/mL (100 µL/well).

Background: Spike RBD

SARS-CoV-2, which caused the global pandemic coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), belongs to a family of viruses known as coronaviruses that are commonly comprised of four structural proteins: Spike protein(S), Envelope protein (E), Membrane protein (M), and Nucleocapsid protein (N) (1). SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein (S Protein) is a glycoprotein that mediates membrane fusion and viral entry. The S protein is homotrimeric, with each ~180-kDa monomer consisting of two subunits, S1 and S2 (2). In SARS-CoV-2, as with most coronaviruses, proteolytic cleavage of the S protein into two distinct peptides, S1 and S2 subunits, is required for activation. The S1 subunit is focused on attachment of the protein to the host receptor while the S2 subunit is involved with cell fusion (3-5). Based on structural biology studies, the receptor binding domain (RBD), located in the C-terminal region of S1, can be oriented either in the up/standing or down/lying state (6). The standing state is associated with higher pathogenicity and both SARS-CoV-1 and MERS can access this state due to the flexibility in their respective RBDs. A similar two-state structure and flexibility is found in the SARS-CoV-2 RBD (7). Based on amino acid (aa) sequence homology, the SARS-CoV-2 S1 subunit RBD has 73% identity with the RBD of the SARS-CoV-1 S1 RBD, but only 22% homology with the MERS S1 RBD. The low aa sequence homology is consistent with the finding that SARS and MERS bind different cellular receptors (8). The S Protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, like the SARS-CoV-1 counterpart, binds Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2), but with much higher affinity and faster binding kinetics (9). Before binding to the ACE2 receptor, structural analysis of the S1 trimer shows that only one of the three RBD domains in the trimeric structure is in the "up" conformation. This is an unstable and transient state that passes between trimeric subunits but is nevertheless an exposed state to be targeted for neutralizing antibody therapy (10). Polyclonal antibodies to the RBD of the SARS-CoV-2 protein have been shown to inhibit interaction with the ACE2 receptor, confirming RBD as an attractive target for vaccinations or antiviral therapy (11). There is also promising work showing that the RBD may be used to detect presence of neutralizing antibodies present in a patient's bloodstream, consistent with developed immunity after exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus (12). Lastly, it has been demonstrated the S Protein can invade host cells through the CD147/EMMPRIN receptor and mediate membrane fusion (13, 14).
