Protein description

Potential applications of soluble spike proteins
Potential applications of soluble spike proteins

The SARS-CoV-2 (2019-nCoV) Spike RBD (receptor binding domain) has been identified as the key viral element allowing the virus docking to the target cells. RDB is recognized by the ACE2 surface membrane receptor [1-3]. RBD is a candidate for subunit prophylactic vaccines against SARS-CoVs [4, 5]. RBD is also at the center of therapeutic approaches, such as the development and testing of small peptide inhibitors or soluble ACE2 to block the SARS-CoV-2 entry into target cells [6].
Spike-RBD-Fc was generated by fusing the C-terminus of SARS-CoV-2 Spike RBD [R319-F541] to a human IgG1 Fc region.
The SARS-CoV-2 viral sequence used is from the Wuhan-Hu-1 (D614) isolate.
This protein has been produced in CHO cells and purified by affinity chromatography (See Details and Specifications for more information).

Applications

  • Vaccination studies: using combinations of Spike protein antigens and adjuvants
  • Antibody screening: finding anti-Spike antibodies that can neutralize the SARS-CoV-2 infection
  • Inhibitor screening: finding small molecules, or antibodies able to block the SARS-CoV-2 RBD interaction with the ACE2 receptor
  • ACE2 cellular expression screening: in primary isolated cells or transfected cells

ELISA detection of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike-RBD-Fc fusion protein with the Anti-SARS-CoV-Spike human IgM. Anti-SARS-CoV-Spike hIgM antibody (5 μg/ml) was coated on ELISA plates overnight. A 3-fold serial dilution of Spike-RBD-Fc (red  curve) or of CTLA4-hFc control protein (grey curve) was realized for the capture step. An HRP-labelled anti-hFc antibody (1/1000 dilution) and the HRP substrate OPD (o-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride) were used for the detection step. Absorbance was read at 490 nm.
