Abstract
For the prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection, four Fv-antibodies with binding affinity for the ACE2 receptor were screened from an Fv-antibody library. The screened Fv-antibodies were expressed as soluble proteins and estimated to have a high binding affinity, comparable to that between SARS-CoV-2 and the ACE2 receptor. The interaction between the Fv-antibodies and the ACE2 receptor was analyzed using docking simulation, and the significant binding affinity of the screened Fv-antibodies was attributed to the homology in amino acid sequence with the ACE2 receptor. The neutralizing activities of the Fv-antibodies were demonstrated using a cell-based infection assay based on four pseudo-virus types with SARS-CoV-2 variant spike proteins (Wild-type D614, Delta B.1.617.2, and Omicron BA.2, and Omicron BA.4/5).
期刊介绍:
ACS Pharmacology & Translational Science publishes high quality, innovative, and impactful research across the broad spectrum of biological sciences, covering basic and molecular sciences through to translational preclinical studies. Clinical studies that address novel mechanisms of action, and methodological papers that provide innovation, and advance translation, will also be considered. We give priority to studies that fully integrate basic pharmacological and/or biochemical findings into physiological processes that have translational potential in a broad range of biomedical disciplines. Therefore, studies that employ a complementary blend of in vitro and in vivo systems are of particular interest to the journal. Nonetheless, all innovative and impactful research that has an articulated translational relevance will be considered.
ACS Pharmacology & Translational Science does not publish research on biological extracts that have unknown concentration or unknown chemical composition.
Authors are encouraged to use the pre-submission inquiry mechanism to ensure relevance and appropriateness of research.
