Each cell line additionally expresses one part of the NanoLuc luciferase HiBiT or LgBiT that on their own do not emit light, but when brought together, quickly self-complement due to their high affinity for each other to reconstitute a fully functional NanoLuc HiBiT technology, Promega. When co-incubated, these two cell lines are able to form syncytia through their cell membrane fusion facilitated by the spike-ACE2 interaction, in turn allowing rapid and spontaneous complementation of the cytoplasmic NanoLuc fragments and giving rise to ultra-bright bioluminescence in the presence of a specific substrate Fig. 1. Similar to classical viral neutralization assays, pre-incubation with neutralizing antibodies blocking the spike-ACE2 interaction prevents syncytia formation, which can be titrated and quantified by measuring the reduced light emission in comparison to cells that were not treated with neutralizing antibodies Fig. 1A and C.Fig. 1. Cell fusion assay based on high-affinity NanoLuc complementation HiBiT A Schematic representation of the assay set-up. LgBiT and spike-expressing HEK293T cells are mixed with HiBiT- and ACE2-expressing Vero E6 cells and co-incubated overnight. Upon spike interaction with ACE2, cell membranes merge, forming a multinucleated syncytium and enabling complementation of both NanoLuc fragments, eventually leading to light emission upon substrate addition. Pre-incubation of spike-expressing cells with neutralizing antibodies will prevent the spikeâACE2 interaction and limit syncytia formation. Multiple sera can be tested simultaneously in 96- or 384-well format, enabling high-throughput screening of samples. B Representative microscopy pictures, illustrating syncytium formation between Vero E6 cells expressing an mKOrange-tagged membrane marker and HEK293T cells expressing a NeonGreen cytoplasmic marker. DAPI-stained nuclei are depicted in blue. C Representative picture of a 96-well plate after substrate addition taken with an ordinary mobile phone camera Huawei p20 Pro. The intense blue bioluminescent signal emitted by the NanoLuc is well visible even with the naked eye. No light is emitted from wells where cells did not efficiently form syncytia, indicative of the presence of neutralizing A Figure was created using the material, vectors and protocols described below, this âSARScytiumâ assay can easily and reproducibly be performed using transiently transfected cells, where one cell line is transfected with viral spike and LgBiT, whereas the other cell line is transfected with HiBiT and ACE2 Fig. 1A. The approach using transient transfections allows for high versatility and flexibility of the assay with easy and fast adaptability to spike variants. This can be of particular interest given that the antibody neutralization profile considerably varies between the different spike variants and the high probability of emergence of new variants Duarte et al., 2022; Harvey et al., 2021. Alternatively, cells stably expressing the required proteins can be used. This accounts especially for ACE2, where a variety of cells stably expressing ACE2 are commercially available, such as Vero E6 cells that endogenously express ACE2, or HEK or HeLa cells exogenously overexpressing ACE2 together or not with the protease TMPRSS2 that serves as a co-factor for SARS-CoV-2 infection and is implicated in spike priming on the full chapterURL coronavirus infections of the lower respiratory tract and their preventionN. Petrovsky, in The Microbiology of Respiratory System Infections, 20163 Recombinant spike protein vaccinesA major advance in vaccine development was the identification that the SARS virus spike S protein mediates cell entry via its ability to bind angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 and CD209L, thereby triggering virus endocytosis into target A human monoclonal antibody binding the S protein N-terminal domain was shown to be able to block infection, thereby identifying S protein as a major target of SARS virus neutralizing Consistent with this, monkeys could be protected against SARS infection by intranasal immunization with a S protein-encoding live parainfluenza S protein was also shown to be the target of CD4 and CD8 T cell responses suggesting these may also be important to SARS A recombinant S protein vaccine was manufactured using an insect cell expression system but was found to be considerably less immunogenic that inactivated whole virus vaccine, requiring âŒ100 times more antigen to achieve the same level of Attempts to improve the immunogenicity of S protein vaccine by formulation with alum adjuvant again resulted in severe lung eosinophilic immunopathology in response to SARS virus infection, marking this as another potentially unsafe This confirmed that the problem of lung eosinophilic immunopathology was not just confined to inactivated or nucleocapsid protein vaccines but was a more general problem of vaccines made from any SARS virus full chapterURL VaccinesJaap W. Back, Johannes Langedijk, in Advances in Immunology, 20122 Stabilizing AntigensThe detailed structural knowledge on many neutralization sites, the location of some conserved exposed surfaces on the native viral spike, and the general architecture and dynamics of the labile structure reveals some clues of how to stabilize the spike in order to induce such broadly neutralizing way of using the structural knowledge for a recombinant protein-based vaccine is to engineer, modify, or stabilize the labile spike in such a way that the recombinant soluble protein mimics the prefusion native trimer that can cross-react with all the broadly neutralizing antibodies and remains stable in a vaccine adjuvant. Several approaches have been applied successfully to stabilize the case the immunogen is based on the soluble envelope protein, the deletion of the membrane anchor destabilizes the trimer which can be compensated by inclusion of heterologous trimerization domains Yang et al., 2000. Additionally, the prefusion conformation can be stabilized by preventing the FP from swinging out and the gp120 head to detach. A straightforward solution to fix the FP in its prefusion position and obstruct the refolding of gp41 into the stable postfusion conformation is to prevent the cleavage of the precursor gp160 into mature gp120âgp41 heterodimer Yang et al., 2000. Alternatively, to increase the chance of maintaining the FP in its native, probably buried, position, gp120 and gp41 can be covalently linked by the introduction of an intermolecular disulfide bridge Binley et al., 2000; Yang et al., 2000. Although it has been possible to engineer a disulfide with trial and error, high-resolution detail of the structure would permit rational introduction of stabilizing disulfide bonds that connect the heterodimer. Disulfide bridges have also been used for the intramolecular stabilization of the flexible regions within the subunits Dey et al., 2009; Zhou et al., 2007. Constructing a heat-stable foot-and-mouth disease vaccine by disulfide engineering came within reach when the crystal structure of the viral capsid was solved Mateo et al., 2008 and also the atomic-level resolution of the complete prefusion spike of HIV will undoubtedly contribute to structure-based design of inter- and intramolecular disulfides without going through the arduous path of trial and full chapterURL East Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus MERS-CoV InfectionJaffar A.

The viral hemaglutinin VP8* contains at least four virus-neutralizing epitopes and antibodies directed against these epitopes probably block virus attachment.

Rey, in Advances in Virus Research, 201710 Hantavirus Gn Is Homologous to Alphavirus E2Class II viral fusion proteins function together with an accompanying protein, which is released first from the same polyprotein precursor and can interact cotranslationally and in cis with the fusion protein, helping avoid premature activation in the secretory pathway. The evolution of both proteins is closely related because of structural and functional constraints. The glycoprotein complex in Alphaviruses is produced as an immature p62-E1 heterodimer, which trimerises to form the viral spikes. Furin maturation of immature p62 into mature E3-E2 proteins primes the viral spikes in the Golgi apparatus and renders E1 fusion competent. The structures of the immature p62-E1 heterodimer and mature E3âE2âE1 heterotrimers were described Voss et al., 2010, showing that E2 is folded in three distinct globular domains termed A, B, and C, organized around a central âÎČ-ribbonâ structure with characteristic âarchsâ Figs. 2D and 5B. The E1 TMIR is buried in between domains A and B of E2, and domain C contacts domain III of E1 near the viral membrane. Together with domain A, domain C is involved in threefold contacts stabilizing the trimeric 5. Comparison of the crystal structures of Puumala virus hGn A and Chikungunya virus E2 B. The structures are color-coded by domains domain A in blue, domain B in green, and domain C in cyan. The central domain is colored magenta for the region of the ÎČ-ribbon going from domain A to B, and yellow for the connection from domain B to C. C and D topology diagrams of domains A and B panels C and D, respectively. Chikungunya virus E2 domains are shown on the left and Hantavirus hGn on the right. Although there is an important insertion between strands at different locations between strands B and C in E2 and between C and D in hGn, the topological arrangement of the ÎČ-strands in the A domains in E2 and hGn is the same but the A strand in purple has switched ÎČ-sheets. In the case of domain B, the topology is identical. In hGn, domain A corresponds to residues 27â182, and domain B to residues 294â368. There is an insertion augmenting the region corresponding to the ÎČ-ribbon connector, which is represented in gray. The way the polypeptide chain exits domain A and enters the ÎČ-ribbon through an âarchâ Voss et al., 2010 panels A and B is also conserved between E2 and hGn. The structure of hGn was obtained in the absence of hGc, and it is conceivable that domains A and B may have collapsed against each other without hGc. In the Chikungunya virus E2/E1 heterodimer, the domains are arranged around the rod-like E1, as represented in Fig. 2D. Only a structure of an hGn/hGc heterodimer can resolve this bunyaviruses, the mechanism to avoid premature fusion in the secretory pathway is not understood, and the lack of an internal cleavage site in Gn suggests that the maturation mechanism must be different to that reported for alphaviruses and flaviviruses. The structure of the N-terminal two-thirds of Gn from Puumala hantavirus hGn, the first structure of a bunyavirus Gn protein was recently determined using X-ray crystallography Li et al., 2016 and docked into a 16 Ă resolution cryoelectron tomography cryo-ET map of Tula hantavirus, thereby providing the first partial glimpse of the hantavirus ultrastructural organization. The structure showed that hGn has two domains folded as a ÎČ-sandwich, which in spite of having insertions in different locationsâwhich is the likely reason why current automated servers for structural comparisons do not detect the structural homologyâexhibit the same topology of the corresponding domains termed A and B in alphavirus E2 Fig. 5. Moreover, the two ÎČ-sandwich domains are connected in a very similar way by a central ÎČ-ribbon structure with ÎČ-arches. Furthermore, secondary structure predictions for the absent C-terminal third domain of Gn suggest that it is also ÎČ-sheet-rich, with a size similar to that domain C of alphavirus E2 Fig. 5.In addition, the organization of the alphavirus and hantavirus spikes also shows similarities. The mature alphavirus particles are organized in an icosahedral capsid with triangulation number T = 4. They contain 80 trimeric spikes formed of E2 and E1 protomers. Docking the atomic model from the crystal structure of the E2/E1 heterodimer into cryo-EM reconstructions of alphavirus particles has shown that E2 forms homotrimers at the center of each spike, making all of the intraspike contacts, whereas E1 is peripheral and establishes quasi twofold homocontacts with E1 between adjacent spikes on the virion. The organization of the hantaviral particles is similar. The virions are pleomorphic in shape but are decorated by patches of spikes that form local high-order lattices with quasi fourfold symmetry. The cryo-ET reconstruction combined with docking the crystal structure of PUUV Gn into the segmented density has allowed to assign densities to Gn and Gc. The hantaviral spike is composed of two different regions, an elongated peripheral stalk that crosslinks diagonally different spikes and a central region located around the quasi fourfold axis of the tetrameric spikes. The model proposed suggests that Gn would be placed at the center of the spike, forming homotetramers, and accounting for most of the intraspike contacts and Gc would be placed peripherally, forming homodimers, and linking together adjacent spikes. This organization thus has important similarities with that of the alphaviruses, in spite of the differences between trimer vs tetramer full chapterURL Cellular and Molecular Biology of HIV-1 Broadly Neutralizing AntibodiesBarton F.

Surface gp160 precursor molecules are cleaved by cellular furin proteases, and the mature Env spike consists of a trimer of noncovalently associated gp120 and gp41 subunits Figure 1. HIV-1 Env mediates virusâcell fusion through three major steps. First, it engages host cell CD4, the primary HIV-1 receptor. This interaction results in an activated intermediate conformation that engages a secondary chemokine receptor, usually CCR5 and sometimes CXCR4. In the third step, the gp41 subunit rearranges into a six-helix bundle that causes hemifusion of the viral and cell surface membranes Figure 2 [41].

Model for the mechanism of envelope Env CD4- or coreceptor-triggered activation of the Env spike forms an activated intermediate in which the N-terminal gp41 helices are vulnerable to neutralizing ligands. The prehairpin intermediate is formed upon insertion of the fusion peptide into the target cell membrane and dissociation of gp120, leading to the formation of the six-helix bundle state and subsequent fusion between viral and target cell Ref. [41].Numerous bnAbs have been isolated from individuals identified within cohorts with plasma neutralizing activity against diverse strains. BnAbs recognize one of at least four highly conserved yet vulnerable regions of Env the membrane proximal external region MPER of gp41 [18,20,42], a peptide-glycan epitope involving the V1V2 domain V1V2 glycan [16,22], a gp120 outer-domain glycan or peptide-glycan region V3 glycan [43,44], and the CD4 binding site CD4bs region of gp120 [19,23â25,45,46] Table 1. Recently, a fifth bnAb epitope composed of both the gp41 and gp120 subunits of Env has been defined [46a,46b,46c,46d]. Importantly, advances in cryoelectron microscopy and crystal structures have provided new insights into the native prefusion structure and the conformation of the HIV-1 Env spike [52â54]. Together with the detailed atomic level structures of bnAbs bound to their cognate epitopes, these Env trimeric structures provide tools that facilitate structure-based vaccine design [55â58].TABLE 1.

Kwong, in Handbook of Cell Signaling Second Edition, 2010Recognition in the Context of a Humoral Immune ResponseAn understanding of the parameters governing HIV-1 receptor interactions would be incomplete without an understanding of the context in which this recognition occurs. While all recognitions pit specific versus non-specific interactions, HIV-1 receptor recognition occurs in the context of a persistent infection. To bind receptor while simultaneously eluding neutralization by the humoral immune system, gp120 has evolved sophisticated strategies of evasion Figure [17, 36â38].Figure Mechanisms of humoral immune trimeric structure of gp120 is depicted in the orientation obtained by optimization of quantifiable surface parameters [40], which is in close agreement with placement based on electron tomogram characterization of HIV-1 viral spikes [41]. The orientation shown depicts the trimer from the viewpoint of the target cell membrane. Core gp120 is depicted with a black Cα worm for inner domain; light gray Cα worm for bridging sheet; gray Cα worm for outer domain; all atom representation for carbohydrate; and semitransparent surfaces for V1/V2-variable loop. Oligomeric shielding of the inner domain by neighboring protomers is apparent, as is the extensive carbohydrate masking of the outer domain surface. The potential shielding of the CD4 binding site by the V1/V2-variable loop is shown with primary mechanisms protect the envelope glycoprotein surface not involved in receptor recognition sequence variation, oligomerization, carbohydrate masking, variable loops, and conformational change. The small size of the HIV genome, coupled to high rates of replication error and recombination, facilitates rapid antigenic escape. Oligomerization uses proteinâprotein interfaces to block access to conserved epitopes. This protects protein surfaces in both the gp120âgp120 interface as well as the gp120âgp41 interface. Antibodies directed against these surfaces are usually non-neutralizing and recognize only separate gp120 or gp41 components, not the oligomeric gp120/gp41 viral masking involves covering exposed protein surfaces with a dense array of N-linked glycans. Because N-linked glycans are derived from host biochemical pathways, they are interpreted as âselfâ by the immune system and do not elicit antibodies. In addition, glycans sterically inhibit access to underlying protein surfaces. Epitopes protected by carbohydrate masking are thus immunologically âsilentâ [37].In terms of the potentially vulnerable receptor-binding surfaces, the virus must recognize receptor, while at the same time eluding an ever-adapting immune response. The surfaces on gp120 that interact with cellular receptors are not only larger than the typical antibody footprint 600 Ă 2, but also must be functionally conserved and receptor surfaces are partially protected by variable loops. These loops have little structural restraint, and sequence variation can occur at a rate roughly 1,000,000 times faster than the human genome [39]. The CD4 binding site is protected by the V1/V2-variable loop. This loop emanates from the bridging sheet, is approximately 70 amino acids in length, and contains several sites of N-linked glycosylation. Both by steric occlusion and by antigenic variation, the loop shields the CD4 binding site from antibody most conserved exposed surface on gp120 is the bridging sheet, which interacts with both CD4 and co-receptor [17, 23]. HIV hides the conserved bridging sheet through another innovative means, that of conformational change [38]. The bridging sheet is not formed until cell-surface CD4 induces the appropriate structural reorganization in gp120. Such conformational masking serves not only to reduce the elicitation of antibodies against the bridging sheet, but also to prevent neutralization. Within the oligomeric viral spike, quaternary interactions oppose the conformational changes induced by CD4. This opposition decreases the binding efficiency of antibodies that recognize surfaces formed only in the CD4-bound state of gp120. The degree of opposition is controlled by variable loop elements involved in quaternary contact [18]. Extensive variation within these loops allows this opposition to be modulated. With primary isolates, humoral pressures select the degree of opposition to permit only highly avid binding. Because such avidity is available for cell-surface receptors, but not for most antibodies, conformational masking allows HIV-1 to resist neutralization while simultaneously permitting receptor of the HIV-1 receptor interactions illustrates some of the unique features associated with viral receptor recognition. Not only is there the problem of specific binding to receptors; there is also the complementary problem of avoiding specific recognition by the immune system. Compressed into the 500 amino acids of the HIV-1 gp120 are complex mechanisms of evasion and recognition. HIV-1 receptor recognition thus provides an example of a system driven to an extraordinary level of sophistication by the incredible evolutionary speed of HIV-1 opposed by the equally remarkable adaptive capabilities of the immune full chapterURL Delivery System IIRoy Curtiss3rd, in Mucosal Immunology Fourth Edition, 2015New Developments in Antigen Delivery and DisplayGalen et al. 2004 have developed use of the S. Typhi cytolysin A hemolysin as a means to export protective antigens out of the vaccine cells into the supernatant. This was demonstrated using the B. anthracis PA antigen induction of a significantly higher level of immunity after immunization of mice than observed when the PA was not secreted. Baillie et al. 2008 compared delivery of the B. anthracis PA antigen using the HlyA hemolysin and ClyA export system from the licensed S. Typhi Ty21a vaccine using immunization of mice. Delivery of PA via the ClyA system was superior, and the investigators found that the recombinant Ty21a vaccine was very effective in priming a significant immune response to PA administered parenterally at a later and Schifferli 2003, 2007 compared delivery of TGEV spike epitopes as fusion to a subunit of the P987 fimbriae versus using the MisL autotransporter by several attenuated S. Typhimurium strains. Although antibody titers to the S epitopes were higher for the MisL display system, the neutralizing antibody titers were higher for the P987 fimbrial presentation system. Thus, the presentation must have influenced conformation since the MisL fusion construct was synthesized at a times higher level than the P987 fusion T5SS have been investigated for some time as a means to export and present antigens on the cell surface see Curtiss, 2005. All systems have a transmembrane ÎČ-barrel and an external domain that may or may not be cleaved for release by a protease such as OmpT. One can preclude this release by deleting some of the basic amino acids in the hinge region. The Hbp autotransporter studied by Jong et al. 2012 for secretion and display of heterologous antigens in attenuated S.

Viney, in Encyclopedia of Materials Science and Technology, Viral Spike ProteinThe structural characteristics of virus coats capsids are highly relevant to virus propagation, and are therefore the subject of intensive study. The coat must contain and protect the nucleic acid genetic contents, be resilient against impact, be capable of broaching the outer wall of a target cell, and provide a secure pathway for conducting nucleic acid into the target. Hollow spikes on the capsid fulfill the latter two roles, from which it has been deduced that they must have unusually high strength and stiffness in axial compression. Because compressive strength and stiffness have been a long-term but elusive goal of polymer science, the hierarchical structure of spike proteins deserves careful attention.a Cross-ÎČ-sheetsViral spike protein contains several repeats of relatively short ÎČ-strand-forming amino acid sequences. The chain folds back and forth to assemble a ÎČ-sheet, stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonds Fig. 2. Because the long axis of the sheet is transverse rather than parallel to the molecular backbone, the structure in this case is known as a cross-ÎČ-sheet. Some silks, the egg stalks of green lacewing flies, are also reinforced by cross-ÎČ-sheet crystals.b Higher-order structureThe structure varies significantly between different virus types. For both rotavirus and human adenovirus, there is evidence that three cross-ÎČ-sheets interact to form a hollow trimeric box beam that resists buckling in compression. Structural characterization is hampered by the small size of individual spikes length⩜30 nm and width⩜5 nm. Hydrophobic bonding is presumed to be important in stabilizing their structure, since 70% of the amino acid residues are hydrophobic in representative engineered model polymers, based on multiple consecutive copies of the principal repeated sequence in native adenovirus spike protein, can self-assemble into a liquid crystalline phase in solution. However, trimeric box beams have not been found in the hierarchical microstructure of fibers spun from this phase. The spun fibers are formed under significantly off-equilibrium conditions, and should not be expected to have the same internal structure as the native spikes.c PropertiesIn tensile tests conducted on dry fiber, the breaking strength is ⌠GPa, the stiffness âŒ4 GPa, and the elongation to failure ⌠30%. Given the evidence that the native spikes rely on hydrophobic bonding to maintain their structure, the properties of analog fibers as measured in air are likely to be inferior compared to results obtained in waterâeven if the detailed microstructure of the native material could be reproduced. In other words, the natural material is designed to work in an aqueous medium, and attempts to mimic its properties must take this reality into full chapterURL nanomaterials for infectious diseasesArchita Jha, Yashwant Pathak, in Nanotheranostics for Treatment and Diagnosis of Infectious Diseases, HydrogelThe SARS-CoV-2 Virus spike proteins contain a receptor-binding domain RBD for attachment and entry into the host cell. Recombinant RBD can induce a neutralizing antibody response that can bind to the SARS-Cov-2 RBD thus inhibiting the infection cycle [70]. Being cost-effective and amenable to large-scale manufacturing, subunit vaccines containing the recombinant RBD antigen provide beneficial value in global vaccine distribution efforts. Injectable polymer-nanoparticle PNP hydrogel structures with de-risked adjuvants CpG and Alum provide efficient vaccine delivery methods with enhanced immunogenicity of RBD. The hydrogel along with alum is beneficial and allows for a controlled and slow release of the vaccine over a span of 10â18 days, eliminating the need for booster shots. Additionally, polymer-nanoparticles hydrogels allow for the loading of various components of the vaccine such as the RBD, alum, and CpG to be co-delivered. The IgG antibody titers, utilized as markers for the immune response by RBD and adjuvants in PNP hydrogels, were 60 times greater than utilizing other adjuvants or RBD by itself [71].

Each cell line additionally expresses one part of the NanoLuc luciferase HiBiT or LgBiT that on their own do not emit light, but when brought together, quickly self-complement due to their high affinity for each other to reconstitute a fully functional NanoLuc HiBiT technology, Promega. When co-incubated, these two cell lines are able to form syncytia through their cell membrane fusion facilitated by the spike-ACE2 interaction, in turn allowing rapid and spontaneous complementation of the cytoplasmic NanoLuc fragments and giving rise to ultra-bright bioluminescence in the presence of a specific substrate Fig. 1. Similar to classical viral neutralization assays, pre-incubation with neutralizing antibodies blocking the spike-ACE2 interaction prevents syncytia formation, which can be titrated and quantified by measuring the reduced light emission in comparison to cells that were not treated with neutralizing antibodies Fig. 1A and C.Fig. 1. Cell fusion assay based on high-affinity NanoLuc complementation HiBiT A Schematic representation of the assay set-up. LgBiT and spike-expressing HEK293T cells are mixed with HiBiT- and ACE2-expressing Vero E6 cells and co-incubated overnight. Upon spike interaction with ACE2, cell membranes merge, forming a multinucleated syncytium and enabling complementation of both NanoLuc fragments, eventually leading to light emission upon substrate addition. Pre-incubation of spike-expressing cells with neutralizing antibodies will prevent the spikeâACE2 interaction and limit syncytia formation. Multiple sera can be tested simultaneously in 96- or 384-well format, enabling high-throughput screening of samples.

The approach using transient transfections allows for high versatility and flexibility of the assay with easy and fast adaptability to spike variants. This can be of particular interest given that the antibody neutralization profile considerably varies between the different spike variants and the high probability of emergence of new variants Duarte et al., 2022; Harvey et al., 2021. Alternatively, cells stably expressing the required proteins can be used. This accounts especially for ACE2, where a variety of cells stably expressing ACE2 are commercially available, such as Vero E6 cells that endogenously express ACE2, or HEK or HeLa cells exogenously overexpressing ACE2 together or not with the protease TMPRSS2 that serves as a co-factor for SARS-CoV-2 infection and is implicated in spike priming on the full chapterURL coronavirus infections of the lower respiratory tract and their preventionN.

Syed Sayeem Uddin Ahmed, in Recent Advancements in Microbial Diversity, SARS virusesACE2 angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 acts as the SARS viral spike glycoprotein binding receptor, allowing the virus to adhere to host cells and then internalize and replicate Hoffmann et al., 2020; Liu et al., 2020; Yan et al., 2020. However, respiratory tract macrophages and DCs, all essential immune system cells, express ACE2 Keidar et al., 2005. As shown by the influenza, herpes, and Zika viruses, viral infections induce monocytic-enhanced proinflammatory signaling molecules and antiviral responses Nikitina, Larionova, Choinzonov, & Kzhyshkowska, 2018. It has recently been suggested that increased development of proinflammatory macrophages in a subset of COVID-19 patients contributes to an increase in the production of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, like CXCL10, which causes cytokine storms. This has been found mostly in subjects with a low prognosis Vaninov, 2020; Yang et al., 2020. In general, short-lived monocytes/macrophages will significantly restrict viral replication. Nevertheless, this does not rule out the likelihood of these cells acting as a permissive mechanism and/or a viral reservoir Nikitina et al., 2018. The fact that these cells are the first line of protection against viral infection lends credence to this theory. However, viral infection has the potential to transform these cells into long-living macrophages M and facilitate their migration into tissues where they become infected resident cells. Finally, since SARS viruses, like SARS-CoV-2, use ACE2 as a tight, high-affinity binding site Hoffmann et al., 2020; Liu et al., 2020; Yan et al., 2020. ACE2-expressing pulmonary macrophages can permeate pulmonary invasion during SARS infection. Indeed, we previously demonstrated that monocytes and macrophages release ACE2 Keidar et al., 2005.Interestingly, macrophages also release furin and TMPRSS2, two enzymes implicated in the interaction of the SARS virusâs attachment and effusion sites Bertram et al., 2010; Gagnon et al., 2013 and ADAM 17, which acts as sheddase of ACE2 Nikolaidis et al., 2010. In the presence of both viral binding and activation components, the virus will potentially replicate in human macrophages and DCs, causing abnormal development of proinflammatory cytokines/chemokines, as is the case with MERS-CoV Zhou, Chu, Chan, & Yuen, 2015. Some experiments, on the other hand, have ruled out SARS-CoV viral replication in human macrophages Yilla et al., 2005. Despite abortive infection, which is described as infection without replication, SARS-CoV infection of human macrophages resulted in the expression of proinflammatory chemokines but not antiviral cytokine output Lee et al., 2009; Tseng, Perrone, Zhu, Makino, & Peters, 2005.

Back, Johannes Langedijk, in Advances in Immunology, 20122 Stabilizing AntigensThe detailed structural knowledge on many neutralization sites, the location of some conserved exposed surfaces on the native viral spike, and the general architecture and dynamics of the labile structure reveals some clues of how to stabilize the spike in order to induce such broadly neutralizing way of using the structural knowledge for a recombinant protein-based vaccine is to engineer, modify, or stabilize the labile spike in such a way that the recombinant soluble protein mimics the prefusion native trimer that can cross-react with all the broadly neutralizing antibodies and remains stable in a vaccine adjuvant. Several approaches have been applied successfully to stabilize the case the immunogen is based on the soluble envelope protein, the deletion of the membrane anchor destabilizes the trimer which can be compensated by inclusion of heterologous trimerization domains Yang et al., 2000. Additionally, the prefusion conformation can be stabilized by preventing the FP from swinging out and the gp120 head to detach. A straightforward solution to fix the FP in its prefusion position and obstruct the refolding of gp41 into the stable postfusion conformation is to prevent the cleavage of the precursor gp160 into mature gp120âgp41 heterodimer Yang et al., 2000. Alternatively, to increase the chance of maintaining the FP in its native, probably buried, position, gp120 and gp41 can be covalently linked by the introduction of an intermolecular disulfide bridge Binley et al., 2000; Yang et al., 2000. Although it has been possible to engineer a disulfide with trial and error, high-resolution detail of the structure would permit rational introduction of stabilizing disulfide bonds that connect the heterodimer. Disulfide bridges have also been used for the intramolecular stabilization of the flexible regions within the subunits Dey et al., 2009; Zhou et al., 2007. Constructing a heat-stable foot-and-mouth disease vaccine by disulfide engineering came within reach when the crystal structure of the viral capsid was solved Mateo et al., 2008 and also the atomic-level resolution of the complete prefusion spike of HIV will undoubtedly contribute to structure-based design of inter- and intramolecular disulfides without going through the arduous path of trial and full chapterURL Cellular Phagocytosis and Its Impact on Pathogen ControlStefan S. Weber, Annette Oxenius, in Antibody Fc, 2014Targeting of Viruses to FcRsViral infection of target cells in the absence of virus-specific antibodies is in general dependent on the interaction between viral spike proteins and corresponding receptors on target cells, thereby conferring a specific tropism of individual viruses to their target cells. Antibody-opsonized virus particles, however, may gain access to additional FcR-expressing target cells. Uptake of opsonized virus particles into FcR-bearing phagocytes via FcR-dependent phagocytosis may have different outcomes for the infection process and for the ensuing spread and control of the virus infection. While very little is known about the exact intracellular fate of opsonized virus particles and how this relates to their infectivity in phagocytes, most available data indicate that FcR-mediated uptake into phagocytes does not interfere with intracellular viral replication. However, in situations when opsonizing antibodies have direct neutralizing effects on the fusion or uncoating process of the virus, and when this property is maintained under acidic conditions as present in late phagosomes/lysosomes,106â108 FcR-mediated uptake of opsonized viruses might restrict replication within phagocytes.

During the viral entry, the N-heptad repeat NHR and C-heptad repeat CHR of GP41 switch to a six-helix bundle 6-HB structure which binds to the human cell membrane and drives the viral fusion into the human cells.
