The pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) continues to sweep the globe with devastating consequences on human lives and world economy. As an RNA virus, SARS-CoV-2 has a relatively high mutation rate and is rapidly evolving. Thus, new SARS-CoV-2 variants continued to emerge, 5 of which were designated by the World Health Organization (WHO) as variants of concern (VOCs), Alpha (B. 1.1. 7), Beta (B. 1.351), Gamma (P. 1), Delta (B. 1.617. 2), and, recently, Omicron (B. 1.1. 529). 1 First identified in Botswana and South Africa in November 2021, the original Omicron, BA. 1, then spread to every corner of the world and quickly replaced the previously dominant Delta strain to become the most prevalent SARS-CoV-2 circulating variant across the world. BA. 1 is reported to escape most therapeutic monoclonal antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. 2 Consistently, sera from convalescent donors and vaccinated individuals contain very low to undetectable levels of neutralizing antibodies against BA. 1. 3 Therefore, new therapeutic agents are urgently needed. By phage display technique, antibody libraries generated from RNAs extracted from peripheral lymphocytes of fully or booster-vaccinated individuals in our research group were constructed. The recombinant wild-type (WT) receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) glycoprotein was used as the target protein to screen the phage antibody library for potential hits. A panel of highaffinity binders to the RBD in single chain variable fragment (scFv) format were identified and two high-affinity candidate scFvs were converted into and expressed as two fullsize IgG1 antibodies, XK01 and XK02. XK01 and XK02 bound strongly to the WT SARS-CoV-2 RBD with half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) values of 0.012 and0.018 μg/mL, respectively, as measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), suggesting both monoclonal antibodies have a higher binding avidity than that of ACE2 (EC50 Z 0.048 μg/mL)(Fig. 1 AeC). To verify this result and further evaluate the binding affinity, we monitored realetime association and dissociation of XK01 and XK02 binding to the WT SARS-CoV-2 RBD (RBDWT) by surface plasmon resonance (SPR). XK01 and XK02 exhibited tight binding to RBDWT with equilibrium dissociation constants (KD) of 93 nM for XK01 and of 109 nM for XK02, respectively, both of which are superior to that of ACE2 with RBDWT (KD Z 348 nM)(Fig. 1 DeF). Based on the data obtained by ELISA and SPR, both XK01 and XK02 monoclonal antibodies probably have potential neutralization efficacy against SARS-CoV-2. As expected, both antibodies showed potent neutralizing activities against virus pseudotyped with the WT SARS-CoV-2 S with half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of 0.098 μg/mL for XK01 and 0.072 μg/mL for XK02, respectively (Fig. 1 G, H).In the case of BA. 1, the binding kinetics of the Omicron SARS-CoV-2 RBD (RBDBA. 1) to the ACE2 receptor was measured by SPR, which showed that RBDBA. 1 bound potently to ACE2. The KD values of RBDBA. 1 with ACE2 were 245 nM for XK01 and 438 nM for XK02, respectively (Fig. 1 I, J), indicating the binding affinity of both antibodies for RBDBA. 1 was higher than that of the ACE2 receptor (KD Z 527 nM)(Fig. 1 K). Notably, this observation is very similar to that is observed for RBDWT. Unexpectedly, both monoclonal antibodies showed no loss but increased potency of neutralization against BA. 1 S pseudotyped virus with IC50 values of 0.011 μg/mL for XK01 and 0.024 μg/mL for XK02, respectively (Fig. 1 L, M). Soon after the emergence and …
