Description

Novel coronavirus N protein and S1 antigen-encoding mRNA molecule combined bionic virus structural vaccine and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biological medicine, and in particular relates to a novel coronavirus N protein and S1 antigen encoding mRNA molecule combined bionic virus structural vaccine and a preparation method thereof.
Background
In the research and development and application of various SARS-CoV-2 virus vaccine, mRNA vaccine is prepared in artificial synthesis mode, and can express endogenous virus antigen in cell, so that it can activate natural immune system to start the antiviral immune reaction of body, and its immune effect is obviously superior to that of other inactivated vaccine and polypeptide vaccine. Previous studies have shown that this vaccine has the advantage of delivering replicative or non-autonomously replicative mRNA molecules, which may rely on intracellular translation expression systems, into the cytoplasm through a nanolipid delivery system (lipid nanoparticles DELIVERING SYSTEM), expressing antigen proteins, and in the process, first activating the innate immune response system by binding to the pattern recognition receptors (pattern recognition receptor, PRR) of the innate immune system within the cell through different forms of exogenously introduced mRNA molecules and expressed antigen proteins, thereby recruiting antigen presenting cells including dendritic cells, macrophages within the tissue through immune signaling molecules released by the cells, phagocytosing antigens expressed by mRNA molecules in these cells, and thereby presenting the treated antigens to the T cell system, activating the acquired immune response. Based on the fact that this complete process of activating innate/adaptive immunity by the mRNA molecule expression process produces a good immune response, it is shown that mRNA vaccines have the potential to mimic the viral infection process and elicit an immune response. However, it is notable that since the lipid delivery system used in mRNA vaccines is designed to achieve mRNA delivery by fusing with different cell membranes in a non-specific manner, it has the characteristics of lower entry efficiency and non-specific entry into a variety of cells compared to the entry of viruses into cells by binding their membrane surface proteins to cell surface specific receptors.
Based on this, by analyzing the structure of SARS-CoV-2 virus, the characteristic of virus surface spike protein as neutralizing antigen and the characteristic of binding with DC-SIGN receptor on the surface of dendritic cell and macrophage besides ACE2 receptor are fully utilized, so that the virus-like structure VLS (virus-like-structure vaccine) vaccine is constructed, which is formed by coating mRNA molecule by lipid carrier and carrying S1 protein on the surface, and patent is granted (publication No. CN 116139108A). However, based on the in-depth analysis of the structure of SARS-CoV-2 virus and the related analysis of the antigen profile and immunoprotection response of the virus during infection of the host, one trend is that in the analysis of the immune response against the Covid-19 population, in addition to the important recognition of the S antigen by the immune system and the generation of corresponding neutralizing antibodies to block infection of the virus, the nucleocapsid structural protein N antigen of the virus was also found to be an important antigenic molecule capable of eliciting specific T cell responses of the immune system. This response is often associated with the host formation of a killer T cell response that controls viral proliferation. None of the antigens used in the existing mRNA vaccines contemplate the use of an N antigen component.
