T1 |
0-132 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Identification of an anti-SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain directed human monoclonal antibody from a naïve semi-synthetic library. |
T2 |
133-357 |
Sentence |
denotes |
There is a desperate need for safe and effective vaccines, therapies and diagnostics for SARS-CoV-2, the development of which will be aided by the discovery of potent and selective antibodies against relevant viral epitopes. |
T3 |
358-517 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Human phage display technology has revolutionized the process of identifying and optimizing antibodies, providing facile entry points for further applications. |
T4 |
518-628 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Here in, we use this technology to search for antibodies targeting the receptor binding domain (RBD) of CoV-2. |
T5 |
629-805 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Specifically, we screened a naïve human semi-synthetic phage library against RBD, leading to the identification of a high-affinity single chain fragment variable region (scFv). |
T6 |
806-889 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The scFv was further engineered into two other antibody formats (scFv-Fc and IgG1). |
T7 |
890-1016 |
Sentence |
denotes |
All the three antibody formats showed high binding specificity to CoV-2 RBD and the spike antigens in different assay systems. |
T8 |
1017-1145 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Flow cytometry analysis demonstrated specific binding of the IgG1 format to cells expressing membrane bound CoV-2 spike protein. |
T9 |
1146-1310 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Docking studies revealed that the scFv recognizes an epitope that partially overlaps with angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)-interacting sites on the CoV-2 RBD. |
T10 |
1311-1565 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Given its high specificity and affinity, we anticipate that these anti-CoV-2 antibodies will be useful as valuable reagents for accessing the antigenicity of vaccine candidates, as well as developing antibody-based therapeutics and diagnostics for CoV-2. |
