摘要
A panel of potent neutralizing antibodies are protective against orthopoxvirus (OPXV) infections. For the development of OPXV-specific recombinant human single-chain antibodies (scFvs), the IgG repertoire of four vaccinated donors was amplified from peripheral B-lymphocytes. The resulting library consisted of & GE;4 x 10(8) independent colonies. The immuno-screening against vaccinia virus (VACV) Elstree revealed a predominant selection of scFv clones specifically binding to the D8 protein. The scFv-1.2.2.H9 was engineered into larger human scFv-Fc-1.2.2.H9 and IgG1-1.2.2.H9 formats to improve the binding affinity and to add effector functions within the human immune response. Similar binding kinetics were calculated for scFv-1.2.2.H9 and scFv-Fc-1.2.2.H9 (1.61 nM and 7.685 nM, respectively), whereas, for IgG1-1.2.2.H9, the Michaelis-Menten kinetics revealed an increased affinity of 43.8 pM. None of the purified recombinant 1.2.2.H9 formats were able to neutralize VACV Elstree in vitro. After addition of 1% human complement, the neutralization of & GE;50% of VACV Elstree was achieved with 0.0776 mu M scFv-Fc-1.2.2.H9 and 0.01324 mu M IgG1-1.2.2.H9, respectively. In an in vivo passive immunization NMRI mouse model, 100 mu g purified scFv-1.2.2.H9 and the IgG1-1.2.2.H9 partially protected against the challenge with 4 LD50 VACV Munich 1, as 3/6 mice survived. In contrast, in the scFv-Fc-1.2.2.H9 group, only one mouse survived the challenge.
