Neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 require intact Fc effector functions and monocytes for optimal therapeutic activity

ABSTRACT: SARS-CoV-2 has spread globally and caused the COVID-19 pandemic. Although passively delivered neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 are in clinical trials, their mechanism of action in vivo is incompletely understood. Here, we define correlates of protection of neutralizing human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in SARS-CoV-2-infected mice. Whereas Fc effector functions are fully dispensable when mAbs are administered as prophylaxis, they are required for optimal protection as therapy. When given after infection, intact but not LALA-PG loss of Fc effector function variant mAbs reduce SARS-CoV-2 burden and lung disease in mice and hamsters. Fc engagement of neutralizing antibodies mitigates inflammation and improves respiratory mechanics, and transcriptional profiling suggests these phenotypes are associated with diminished innate immune signaling and enhanced tissue repair. Immune cell depletions establish that neutralizing mAbs require monocytes for therapeutic efficacy. Our study demonstrates that therapeutic neutralizing mAbs require Fc effector functions to reduce SARS-CoV-2 infection and modulate protective immune responses.

Development, Cryo-EM structure and function of potent monospecific and bispecific monoclonal antibodies that neutralize SARS-CoV-2 and variant B.1.351

Project description:The COVID-19 pandemic prompted an unprecedented effort to develop effective countermeasures against SARS-CoV-2. While efficacious vaccines and certain therapeutic monoclonal antibodies are available, here, we report the development, cryo-EM structures and functional analyses of distinct potent monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that neutralize SARS-CoV-2 and its variant B.1.351. We established a platform for rapid identification of highly potent and specific SARS-CoV-2-neutralizing antibodies by high-throughput B cell receptor single cell sequencing of spike receptor binding domain immunized animals. We identified two highly potent and specific SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing mAb clones that have single-digit nanomolar affinity and low-picomolar avidity. We also generated a bispecific antibody of these two lead clones. The lead monospecific and bispecific antibodies showed strong neutralization ability against prototypical SARS-CoV-2 and the highly contagious South African variant B.1.351 that post a further risk of reducing the efficacy of currently available therapeutic antibodies and vaccines. The lead mAbs showed potent in vivo efficacy against authentic SARS-CoV-2 in both prophylactic and therapeutic settings. We solved five cryo-EM structures at ~3 resolution of these neutralizing antibodies in complex with the ectodomain of the prefusion spike trimer, and revealed the molecular epitopes, binding patterns and conformations between the antibodies and spike RBD, which are distinct from existing antibodies. Our recently developed antibodies expand the repertoire of the toolbox of COVID-19 countermeasures against the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen and its emerging variants.

Anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies elicited by COVID-19mRNA vaccine exhibits a unique glycosylation pattern

Project description:Messenger RNA-based vaccines against COVID-19 induce a robust anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody response with potent viral neutralization activity. Antibody effector functions is determined by its constant region subclasses as well as by its glycosylation patterns, but their role in vaccine efficacy is not well understood. Moreover, whether vaccination induce antibodies with similar Fc structures and protection potential as in COVID-19 patients remains unclear. Here, we analyzed BNT162b2 vaccine-induced IgG subclass distribution and Fc glycosylation patterns, as well as their potential to drive effector function via Fc-gamma receptors and complement pathways. We identified a unique Fc composition of these antiviral protein antibodies that is distinct from COVID-19 patients and convalescences. Vaccine-induced anti-spike SARS-CoV-2 IgG displayed a pro-inflammatory Fc profile and superior Fab- and Fc-mediated function, as compared to antibodies generated during natural viral infection. Moreover, differences in the kinetics of IgG Fc structure formation and their engagement with immune receptors were observed between different age groups. These data highlight the heterogeneity of the IgG Fc response to SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination and suggest that they differently support long-lasting protection.

Class switch towards non-inflammatory, spike-specific IgG4 antibodies after repeated SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination [CITE-Seq]

Project description:RNA vaccines are efficient preventive measures to combat the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. High levels of neutralizing SARS-CoV-2-antibodies are an important component of vaccine-induced immunity. Shortly after the initial two mRNA vaccine doses, the IgG response mainly consists of the pro-inflammatory subclasses IgG1 and IgG3. Here, we report that several months after the second vaccination, SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies were increasingly composed of non-inflammatory IgG4, which were further boosted by a third mRNA vaccination and/or SARS-CoV-2 variant breakthrough infections. IgG4 antibodies among all spike-specific IgG antibodies rose on average from 0.04% shortly after the second vaccination to 19.27% late after the third vaccination. This induction of IgG4 antibodies was not observed after homologous or heterologous SARS-CoV-2 vaccination with adenoviral vectors. Single-cell sequencing and flow cytometry revealed substantial frequencies of IgG4-switched B cells within the spike-binding memory B-cell population (median 14.4%; interquartile range (ICR) 6.7-18.1%) compared to the overall memory B-cell repertoire (median 1.3%; ICR 0.9-2.2%) after three immunizations. Importantly, this class switch was associated with a reduced capacity of the spike-specific antibodies to mediate antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis and complement deposition. Since Fc-mediated effector functions are critical for antiviral immunity, these findings may have consequences for the choice and timing of vaccination regimens using mRNA vaccines, including future booster immunizations against SARS-CoV-2.

Breakthrough infections by SARS-CoV-2 variants boost cross-reactive hybrid immune responses in mRNA-vaccinated Golden Syrian Hamsters

Project description:Hybrid immunity (vaccination + natural infection) to SARS-CoV-2 provides superior protection to re-infection. We performed immune profiling studies during breakthrough infections in mRNA-vaccinated hamsters to evaluate hybrid immunity induction. Vaccine was dosed to induce binding antibody titers against ancestral spike, but not efficient virus neutralization of ancestral SARS-CoV-2 or variants of concern (VoCs). Vaccination reduced morbidity and controlled lung virus titers for ancestral virus and Alpha but allowed breakthrough infections in Beta, Delta and Mu-challenged hamsters. Vaccination primed for T cell responses that were boosted by infection. Infection back-boosted neutralizing antibody responses against ancestral virus and VoCs. Hybrid immunity resulted in more cross-reactive sera, reflected by smaller antigenic cartography distances. Transcriptomics post infection reflects both vaccination status and disease course, and suggests a role for interstitial macrophages in vaccine-mediated protection. Therefore, protection by vaccination, even in the absence of neutralizing antibodies, correlates with recall of broadly reactive B- and T-cell responses.

Defining neutralization and allostery by antibodies against COVID-19 variants

Project description:This project is aimed at characterizing the interactions of SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein and its variants with multiple full-length antibodies and monitoring the accompanying conformational dynamics. Different categories of antibodies are tested that recognize different domains of the Spike protein. The project aims at identifying the effects of weak, moderate and strong neutralizing antibodies on Spike protein and decipher their mechanisms of action. In addition to the direct binding effects, distal allosteric effects are also determined. A range of biophysical experiments, biochemical assays, and molecular dynamics simulations are used as orthogonal approaches. The rationale is to identify regions on the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein that acts as indicators for antibody binding and use these hotspots to develop better neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 and any future viral pandemics.

Proliferative Receptor Binding Domain (RBD)-specific CD4+ T cells correlate with neutralizing antibody levels after natural SARS-CoV-2 infection and are induced following vaccination

Project description:Long-term immunity to SARS-CoV-2 infection, comprising neutralizing antibodies and T cell-mediated immunity, in a very large majority of the population, is required to reduce the current pandemic. We have investigated in detail the association between memory CD4 and CD8 T cells in recovered COVID-19 subjects, and their levels of neutralizing antibodies.The results show that RBD-specific memory CD4 T cells were particularly variable, and up to half of recovered individuals lacked these CD4 T cells and had much lower neutralizing antibody titres. Conversely, study of additional subjects identified as having low neutralizing antibody titres had very low levels of RBD-specific CD4 T cells. Furthermore, at both the protein and transcriptomic levels, these low antibody subjects had spike-specific CD4 T cells with a higher proportion of an inhibitory phenotype, including Foxp3 and CTLA-4, and less effector phenotype with T-bet and cytotoxic granzymes and perforin. Vaccination led to an improvement in RBD-specific memory CD4 T cells and neutralizing antibody titres in these at-risk subjects. Our results suggest that epitopes within the RBD-region should be the particular target of booster vaccines.

Adenosine deaminase augments SARS-CoV-2 specific cellular and humoral responses in aged mouse models of immunization and challenge

Project description:Aged patients suffer disproportionately increased morbidity and mortality associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Despite numerous clinically available vaccines and therapeutics, aged patients remain at increased risk for COVID-19 morbidity. Furthermore, the aged patient population has suboptimal responses to SARS-CoV-2 vaccine antigens. Here, we characterize vaccine-induced responses to SARS-CoV-2 synthetic DNA vaccine antigens in 18-month-old mice and interrogate protection. Aged mice have altered cellular responses, including decreased IFNγ secretion and increased TNFα secretion as compared to young mice. Aged mice had significantly decreased binding and neutralizing antibodies in their serum compared to their young counterparts. Co-immunization with the plasmid-encoded molecular adjuvant adenosine deaminase-1 (pADA) enhanced cellular responses and expanded the breadth of humoral responses in aged mice. pADA co-delivery also altered the gene expression profiles of lymph node lymphocytes in aged animals. Upon challenge pADA co-immunization modestly decreased age-associated morbidity and mortality in ACE2 transgenic and mouse-adapted SARS-CoV-2 challenge models. These data support the use of aged mice as a model for age-associated decreased vaccine immunogenicity and infection-mediated morbidity and mortality in the context of SARS-CoV-2 and provide further support of the use of adenosine deaminase as a molecular adjuvant.
