A recombinant receptor-binding domain of MERS-CoV in trimeric form protects human dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (hDPP4) transgenic mice from MERS-CoV infection
文摘

A trimeric MERS-CoV protein (RBD-Fd) was constructed by fusing viral RBD with foldon trimerization motif.

RBD-Fd bound strongly to dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4), the receptor of MERS-CoV, and RBD-specific neutralizing antibodies.

RBD-Fd induced robust and long-term neutralizing antibodies, cross-neutralizing MERS pseudovirus of divergent strains.

RBD-Fd potently protected hDPP4 transgenic mice from lethal MERS-CoV challenge.
