摘要

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) surface spikeglycoprotein—a major antibody target—is critical for virus entry via engagementof human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor. Despitesuccesses with existing vaccines and therapies that primarily target thereceptor binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein, the susceptibility of RBDto mutations provides escape routes for the SARS-CoV-2 from neutralizingantibodies. On the other hand, structural conservation in the spike proteincan be targeted to reduce escape mutations and achieve broad protection.Here, candidate stable immunogens are designed that mimic surface featuresof selected conserved regions of spike protein through “epitope grafting,”in which the target epitope topology is presented on diverse heterologousscaffolds that can structurally accommodate the spike epitopes. Structuralcharacterization of the epitope-scaffolds showed stark agreement withcomputational models and target epitopes. The sera from mice immunizedwith engineered designs display epitope-scaffolds and spike binding activity.The utility of the designed epitope-scaffolds in diagnostic applications is alsodemonstrated. Taken all together, this study provides an important methodologyfor targeting the conserved, non-RBD structural motifs of spike proteinfor SARS-CoV-2 epitope vaccine design and demonstrates the potential utilityof “epitope grafting” in rational vaccine design.
