Function matters: Coronavirus cross-binding antibodies do not cross-neutralize.

ABSTRACT:

Background

During the current pandemic, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) neutralization capacity of the immunoglobulin (IG) supply has changed from undetectable for lots manufactured from plasma collected before the pandemic, to now highly potent.

Objective

As antibodies induced by exposure to or vaccination against coronaviruses were shown to be cross-coronavirus reactive, it was of interest to understand whether SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies would result in increased functional IG potency also against seasonal coronaviruses.

Methods

IG lots from US plasma collected before SARS-CoV-2 emerged and collected during the pandemic were analyzed by live virus neutralization assay for SARS-CoV-2 and seasonal human coronaviruses (HCoVs) NL63 and OC43 neutralizing antibody content.

Results

Pre-pandemic IG showed no SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody titers. However, IG lots produced from plasma of post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) individuals exhibited robust anti-SARS-CoV-2 potency (1,267 IU/ml) which further increased ~4-fold in pandemic IG lots reaching a mean titer of 5,122 IU/ml. Nonetheless, neutralizing antibody potencies to the HCoVs NL63 and OC43 remained stable over this period, i.e., have not increased correspondingly.

Conclusion

The present results show that cross-coronavirus-reactive antibodies are not cross-neutralizing, i.e., SARS-CoV-2 antibodies do not neutralize seasonal coronaviruses NL63 and OC43.

Project description:Flagellins evoke strong innate and adaptive immune responses. These proteins may play a key role as radioprotectors, exert antitumoral activity in certain types of tumor and reduce graft-versus-host disease in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients. Notwithstanding, flagellins are highly immunogenic, and repeated use leads to their neutralization by systemic antibodies. This neutralization is not prevented by using functional deleted flagellins. These observations led us to explore the possibility of preventing initial neutralization by means of another functional flagellin that does not belong to common pathogenic bacteria but that has the capacity to activate TLR5. Here we characterized the functional capacity of the two-phase Marinobacter algicola (MA)-derived flagellins (F and FR) as systemic and mucosal adjuvants and compared their performance with that of Salmonella typhimurium (STF) flagellins (FljB and FliC). We also report for the first time on the in vitro and in vivo capacity of various flagellins to trigger TLR5 activation in the presence of species-specific anti-flagellin antibodies, the cross-neutralization mediated by these antibodies, and the sequential use of these flagellins for TLR5 activation. Our results showed that MA flagellins behave in a similar way to STF ones, inducing pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL8, CCL20, CCL2) and evoking a strong in vivo antibody response against a model epitope. More importantly, MA flagellins were fully functional, in vitro or in vivo, in the presence of a high concentration of neutralizing anti-flagellin STF antibodies, and STF flagellin was not inhibited by neutralizing anti-flagellin MA antibodies. The use of active flagellins from distinct bacteria could be a useful approach to prevent systemic neutralization of this group of adjuvants and to facilitate the rational design of flagellin-based vaccines and/or other therapeutic treatments (against ischemia, acute renal failure, tumors, ionizing radiations and also to improve the outcome of bone marrow transplants).
