Peptide and Protein Alphavirus Antigens for Broad Spectrum Vaccine Design
Social Science Research Network(2022)
摘要
Vaccines based on proteins and peptides may be safer and more broad-spectrum than other approaches Physicochemical property consensus (PCPcon) alphavirus antigens from the B-domain of the E2 envelope protein were designed and synthesized recombinantly. Those based on individual species (eastern or Venezuelan equine encephalitis (EEEVcon, VEEVcon), or chikungunya (CHIKVcon) viruses generated species-specific antibodies. Peptides designed to surface exposed areas of the E2-A-domain were added to the inocula to provide neutralizing antibodies against CHIKV. EVCcon, based on the three different alphavirus species, combined with E2-A-domain peptides from AllAV, a PCPcon of 24 diverse alphavirus, generated broad spectrum antibodies. The abs in the sera bound and neutralized diverse alphaviruses with less than 35% amino acid identity to each other. These included VEEV and its relative Mucambo virus, EEEV and the related Madariaga virus, and CHIKV strain 181/25. Further understanding of the role of coordinated mutations in the envelope proteins may yield a single, protein and peptide vaccine against all alphaviruses.
