Antibody Optimization Library for Coronavirus

Provided herein are methods, compositions, and systems for the optimization of antibodies for coronavirus. In some embodiments, the antibodies are optimized for SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, CoV-229E, HCoV-NL63, HCoV-OC43, or HCoV-HKU1. In some embodiments, the antibodies are optimized for SARS-CoV-2. In some embodiments, the antibodies are optimized for a receptor that binds to the coronavirus. In some embodiments, the receptor of the coronavirus is ACE2 or dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4). In some embodiments, the antibodies are optimized based on interactions between the coronavirus and the receptor that binds the coronavirus. In some embodiments, the antibodies are optimized for angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). In some embodiments, the antibodies are optimized based on interactions between SARS-CoV-2 and ACE2.

Antibodies are in some instances optimized by the design of in-silico libraries comprising variant sequences of an input antibody sequence (FIG. 1). Input sequences 100 are in some instances modified in-silico 102 with one or more mutations or variants to generate libraries of optimized sequences 103. In some instances, such libraries are synthesized, cloned into expression vectors, and translation products (antibodies) evaluated for activity. In some instances, fragments of sequences are synthesized and subsequently assembled. In some instances, expression vectors are used to display and enrich desired antibodies, such as phage display. Selection pressures used during enrichment in some instances includes, but is not limited to, binding affinity, toxicity, immunological tolerance, stability, receptor-ligand competition, or developability. Such expression vectors allow antibodies with specific properties to be selected (“panning”), and subsequent propagation or amplification of such sequences enriches the library with these sequences Panning rounds can be repeated any number of times, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or more than 7 rounds. Sequencing at one or more rounds is in some instances used to identify which sequences 105 have been enriched in the library.

Described herein are methods and systems of in-silico library design. For example, an antibody or antibody fragment sequence is used as input. In some instances, the antibody sequence used as input is an antibody or antibody fragment sequence that binds SARS-CoV-2. In some instances, the input is an antibody or antibody fragment sequence that binds a protein of SARS-CoV-2. In some instances, the protein is a spike glycoprotein, a membrane protein, an envelope protein, a nucleocapsid protein, or combinations thereof. In some instances, the protein is a spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2. In some instances, the protein is a receptor binding domain of SARS-CoV-2. In some instances, the input sequence is an antibody or antibody fragment sequence that binds angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). In some instances, the input sequence is an antibody or antibody fragment sequence that binds an extracellular domain of the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2).

A database 102 comprising known mutations or variants of one or more viruses is queried 101, and a library 103 of sequences comprising combinations of these mutations or variants are generated. In some instances, the database comprises known mutations or variants of SARS-CoV-like coronaviruses, SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV, or combinations thereof. In some instances, the database comprises known mutations or variants of the spike protein of SARS-CoV-like coronaviruses, SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV, or combinations thereof.

In some instances, the heavy chain sequence comprises varied CDR regions. In some instances, the light chain sequence comprises varied CDR regions. In some instances, known mutations or variants from CDRs are used to build the sequence library. Filters 104, or exclusion criteria, are in some instances used to select specific types of variants for members of the sequence library. For example, sequences having a mutation or variant are added if a minimum number of organisms in the database have the mutation or variant. In some instances, additional CDRs are specified for inclusion in the database. In some instances, specific mutations or variants or combinations of mutations or variants are excluded from the library (e.g., known immunogenic sites, structure sites, etc.). In some instances, specific sites in the input sequence are systematically replaced with histidine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, or combinations thereof. In some instances, the maximum or minimum number of mutations or variants allowed for each region of an antibody are specified. Mutations or variants in some instances are described relative to the input sequence or the input sequence's corresponding germline sequence.

The term “sequence identity” means that two polynucleotide sequences are identical (i.e., on a nucleotide-by-nucleotide basis) over the window of comparison. The term “percentage of sequence identity” is calculated by comparing two optimally aligned sequences over the window of comparison, determining the number of positions at which the identical nucleic acid base (e.g., A, T, C, G, U, or I) occurs in both sequences to yield the number of matched positions, dividing the number of matched positions by the total number of positions in the window of comparison (i.e., the window size), and multiplying the result by 100 to yield the percentage of sequence identity.

The term “homology” or “similarity” between two proteins is determined by comparing the amino acid sequence and its conserved amino acid substitutes of one protein sequence to the second protein sequence. Similarity may be determined by procedures which are well-known in the art, for example, a BLAST program (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool at the National Center for Biological Information).

Highly Parallel Nucleic Acid Synthesis

Provided herein is a platform approach utilizing miniaturization, parallelization, and vertical integration of the end-to-end process from polynucleotide synthesis to gene assembly within nanowells on silicon to create a revolutionary synthesis platform. Devices described herein provide, with the same footprint as a 96-well plate, a silicon synthesis platform is capable of increasing throughput by a factor of up to 1,000 or more compared to traditional synthesis methods, with production of up to approximately 1,000,000 or more polynucleotides, or 10,000 or more genes in a single highly-parallelized run.

With the advent of next-generation sequencing, high resolution genomic data has become an important factor for studies that delve into the biological roles of various genes in both normal biology and disease pathogenesis. At the core of this research is the central dogma of molecular biology and the concept of “residue-by-residue transfer of sequential information.” Genomic information encoded in the DNA is transcribed into a message that is then translated into the protein that is the active product within a given biological pathway.

Another exciting area of study is on the discovery, development and manufacturing of therapeutic molecules focused on a highly-specific cellular target. High diversity DNA sequence libraries are at the core of development pipelines for targeted therapeutics. Gene variants are used to express proteins in a design, build, and test protein engineering cycle that ideally culminates in an optimized gene for high expression of a protein with high affinity for its therapeutic target. As an example, consider the binding pocket of a receptor. The ability to test all sequence permutations of all residues within the binding pocket simultaneously will allow for a thorough exploration, increasing chances of success. Saturation mutagenesis, in which a researcher attempts to generate all possible mutations or variants at a specific site within the receptor, represents one approach to this development challenge. Though costly and time and labor-intensive, it enables each variant to be introduced into each position. In contrast, combinatorial mutagenesis, where a few selected positions or short stretch of DNA may be modified extensively, generates an incomplete repertoire of variants with biased representation.

To accelerate the drug development pipeline, a library with the desired variants available at the intended frequency in the right position available for testing—in other words, a precision library, enables reduced costs as well as turnaround time for screening. Provided herein are methods for synthesizing nucleic acid synthetic variant libraries which provide for precise introduction of each intended variant at the desired frequency. To the end user, this translates to the ability to not only thoroughly sample sequence space but also be able to query these hypotheses in an efficient manner, reducing cost and screening time. Genome-wide editing can elucidate important pathways, libraries where each variant and sequence permutation can be tested for optimal functionality, and thousands of genes can be used to reconstruct entire pathways and genomes to re-engineer biological systems for drug discovery.

In a first example, a drug itself can be optimized using methods described herein. For example, to improve a specified function of an antibody, a variant polynucleotide library encoding for a portion of the antibody is designed and synthesized. A variant nucleic acid library for the antibody can then be generated by processes described herein (e.g., PCR mutagenesis followed by insertion into a vector). The antibody is then expressed in a production cell line and screened for enhanced activity. Example screens include examining modulation in binding affinity to an antigen, stability, or effector function (e.g., ADCC, complement, or apoptosis). Exemplary regions to optimize the antibody include, without limitation, the Fc region, Fab region, variable region of the Fab region, constant region of the Fab region, variable domain of the heavy chain or light chain (V_H or V_L), and specific complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) of V_H or V_L.

Nucleic acid libraries synthesized by methods described herein may be expressed in various cells associated with a disease state. Cells associated with a disease state include cell lines, tissue samples, primary cells from a subject, cultured cells expanded from a subject, or cells in a model system. Exemplary model systems include, without limitation, plant and animal models of a disease state.

To identify a variant molecule associated with prevention, reduction or treatment of a disease state, a variant nucleic acid library described herein is expressed in a cell associated with a disease state, or one in which a cell a disease state can be induced. In some instances, an agent is used to induce a disease state in cells. Exemplary tools for disease state induction include, without limitation, a Cre/Lox recombination system, LPS inflammation induction, and streptozotocin to induce hypoglycemia. The cells associated with a disease state may be cells from a model system or cultured cells, as well as cells from a subject having a particular disease condition. Exemplary disease conditions include a bacterial, fungal, viral, autoimmune, or proliferative disorder (e.g., cancer). In some instances, the variant nucleic acid library is expressed in the model system, cell line, or primary cells derived from a subject, and screened for changes in at least one cellular activity. Exemplary cellular activities include, without limitation, proliferation, cycle progression, cell death, adhesion, migration, reproduction, cell signaling, energy production, oxygen utilization, metabolic activity, and aging, response to free radical damage, or any combination thereof

Substrates

Provided herein are substrates comprising a plurality of clusters, wherein each cluster comprises a plurality of loci that support the attachment and synthesis of polynucleotides. In some instances, substrates comprise a homogenous array surface. For example, the homogenous array surface is a homogenous plate. The term “locus” as used herein refers to a discrete region on a structure which provides support for polynucleotides encoding for a single predetermined sequence to extend from the surface. In some instances, a locus is on a two dimensional surface, e.g., a substantially planar surface. In some instances, a locus is on a three-dimensional surface, e.g., a well, microwell, channel, or post. In some instances, a surface of a locus comprises a material that is actively functionalized to attach to at least one nucleotide for polynucleotide synthesis, or preferably, a population of identical nucleotides for synthesis of a population of polynucleotides. In some instances, polynucleotide refers to a population of polynucleotides encoding for the same nucleic acid sequence. In some cases, a surface of a substrate is inclusive of one or a plurality of surfaces of a substrate.

In some instances, the materials are chemical resistant and heat resistant to support chemical or biochemical reactions, for example polynucleotide synthesis reaction processes. In some instances, a substrate comprises flexible materials. For flexible materials, materials can include, without limitation: nylon, both modified and unmodified, nitrocellulose, polypropylene, and the like. In some instances, a substrate comprises rigid materials. For rigid materials, materials can include, without limitation: glass; fuse silica; silicon, plastics (for example polytetrafluoroethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polycarbonate, and blends thereof, and the like); metals (for example, gold, platinum, and the like). The substrate, solid support or reactors can be fabricated from a material selected from the group consisting of silicon, polystyrene, agarose, dextran, cellulosic polymers, polyacrylamides, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and glass. The substrates/solid supports or the microstructures, reactors therein may be manufactured with a combination of materials listed herein or any other suitable material known in the art.

Surface Architecture

Provided herein are substrates for the methods, compositions, and systems described herein, wherein the substrates have a surface architecture suitable for the methods, compositions, and systems described herein. In some instances, a substrate comprises raised and/or lowered features. One benefit of having such features is an increase in surface area to support polynucleotide synthesis. In some instances, a substrate having raised and/or lowered features is referred to as a three-dimensional substrate. In some cases, a three-dimensional substrate comprises one or more channels. In some cases, one or more loci comprise a channel. In some cases, the channels are accessible to reagent deposition via a deposition device such as a material deposition device. In some cases, reagents and/or fluids collect in a larger well in fluid communication one or more channels. For example, a substrate comprises a plurality of channels corresponding to a plurality of loci with a cluster, and the plurality of channels are in fluid communication with one well of the cluster. In some methods, a library of polynucleotides is synthesized in a plurality of loci of a cluster.

Provided herein are substrates for the methods, compositions, and systems described herein, wherein the substrates are configured for polynucleotide synthesis. In some instances, the structure is configured to allow for controlled flow and mass transfer paths for polynucleotide synthesis on a surface. In some instances, the configuration of a substrate allows for the controlled and even distribution of mass transfer paths, chemical exposure times, and/or wash efficacy during polynucleotide synthesis. In some instances, the configuration of a substrate allows for increased sweep efficiency, for example by providing sufficient volume for a growing polynucleotide such that the excluded volume by the growing polynucleotide does not take up more than 50, 45, 40, 35, 30, 25, 20, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1%, or less of the initially available volume that is available or suitable for growing the polynucleotide. In some instances, a three-dimensional structure allows for managed flow of fluid to allow for the rapid exchange of chemical exposure.

Provided herein are substrates for the methods, compositions, and systems described herein, wherein the substrates comprise structures suitable for the methods, compositions, and systems described herein. In some instances, segregation is achieved by physical structure. In some instances, segregation is achieved by differential functionalization of the surface generating active and passive regions for polynucleotide synthesis. In some instances, differential functionalization is achieved by alternating the hydrophobicity across the substrate surface, thereby creating water contact angle effects that cause beading or wetting of the deposited reagents. Employing larger structures can decrease splashing and cross-contamination of distinct polynucleotide synthesis locations with reagents of the neighboring spots. In some cases, a device, such as a material deposition device, is used to deposit reagents to distinct polynucleotide synthesis locations. Substrates having three-dimensional features are configured in a manner that allows for the synthesis of a large number of polynucleotides (e.g., more than about 10,000) with a low error rate (e.g., less than about 1:500, 1:1000, 1:1500, 1:2,000, 1:3,000, 1:5,000, or 1:10,000). In some cases, a substrate comprises features with a density of about or greater than about 1, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190, 200, 300, 400 or 500 features per mm².

A well of a substrate may have the same or different width, height, and/or volume as another well of the substrate. A channel of a substrate may have the same or different width, height, and/or volume as another channel of the substrate. In some instances, the diameter of a cluster or the diameter of a well comprising a cluster, or both, is between about 0.05-50, 0.05-10, 0.05-5, 0.05-4, 0.05-3, 0.05-2, 0.05-1, 0.05-0.5, 0.05-0.1, 0.1-10, 0.2-10, 0.3-10, 0.4-10, 0.5-10, 0.5-5, or 0.5-2 mm. In some instances, the diameter of a cluster or well or both is less than or about 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.1, 0.09, 0.08, 0.07, 0.06, or 0.05 mm. In some instances, the diameter of a cluster or well or both is between about 1.0 and 1.3 mm. In some instances, the diameter of a cluster or well, or both is about 1.150 mm. In some instances, the diameter of a cluster or well, or both is about 0.08 mm. The diameter of a cluster refers to clusters within a two-dimensional or three-dimensional substrate.

In some instances, the height of a well is from about 20-1000, 50-1000, 100-1000, 200-1000, 300-1000, 400-1000, or 500-1000 um. In some cases, the height of a well is less than about 1000, 900, 800, 700, or 600 um.

In some instances, a substrate comprises a plurality of channels corresponding to a plurality of loci within a cluster, wherein the height or depth of a channel is 5-500, 5-400, 5-300, 5-200, 5-100, 5-50, or 10-50 um. In some cases, the height of a channel is less than 100, 80, 60, 40, or 20 um.

In some instances, the diameter of a channel, locus (e.g., in a substantially planar substrate) or both channel and locus (e.g., in a three-dimensional substrate wherein a locus corresponds to a channel) is from about 1-1000, 1-500, 1-200, 1-100, 5-100, or 10-100 um, for example, about 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20 or 10 um. In some instances, the diameter of a channel, locus, or both channel and locus is less than about 100, 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20 or 10 um. In some instances, the distance between the center of two adjacent channels, loci, or channels and loci is from about 1-500, 1-200, 1-100, 5-200, 5-100, 5-50, or 5-30, for example, about 20 um.

Surface Modifications

Provided herein are methods for polynucleotide synthesis on a surface, wherein the surface comprises various surface modifications. In some instances, the surface modifications are employed for the chemical and/or physical alteration of a surface by an additive or subtractive process to change one or more chemical and/or physical properties of a substrate surface or a selected site or region of a substrate surface. For example, surface modifications include, without limitation, (1) changing the wetting properties of a surface, (2) functionalizing a surface, i.e., providing, modifying or substituting surface functional groups, (3) defunctionalizing a surface, i.e., removing surface functional groups, (4) otherwise altering the chemical composition of a surface, e.g., through etching, (5) increasing or decreasing surface roughness, (6) providing a coating on a surface, e.g., a coating that exhibits wetting properties that are different from the wetting properties of the surface, and/or (7) depositing particulates on a surface.

In some cases, the addition of a chemical layer on top of a surface (referred to as adhesion promoter) facilitates structured patterning of loci on a surface of a substrate. Exemplary surfaces for application of adhesion promotion include, without limitation, glass, silicon, silicon dioxide and silicon nitride. In some cases, the adhesion promoter is a chemical with a high surface energy. In some instances, a second chemical layer is deposited on a surface of a substrate. In some cases, the second chemical layer has a low surface energy. In some cases, surface energy of a chemical layer coated on a surface supports localization of droplets on the surface. Depending on the patterning arrangement selected, the proximity of loci and/or area of fluid contact at the loci are alterable.

In some instances, a substrate surface, or resolved loci, onto which nucleic acids or other moieties are deposited, e.g., for polynucleotide synthesis, are smooth or substantially planar (e.g., two-dimensional) or have irregularities, such as raised or lowered features (e.g., three-dimensional features). In some instances, a substrate surface is modified with one or more different layers of compounds. Such modification layers of interest include, without limitation, inorganic and organic layers such as metals, metal oxides, polymers, small organic molecules and the like.

In some instances, resolved loci of a substrate are functionalized with one or more moieties that increase and/or decrease surface energy. In some cases, a moiety is chemically inert. In some cases, a moiety is configured to support a desired chemical reaction, for example, one or more processes in a polynucleotide synthesis reaction. The surface energy, or hydrophobicity, of a surface is a factor for determining the affinity of a nucleotide to attach onto the surface. In some instances, a method for substrate functionalization comprises: (a) providing a substrate having a surface that comprises silicon dioxide; and (b) silanizing the surface using, a suitable silanizing agent described herein or otherwise known in the art, for example, an organofunctional alkoxysilane molecule. Methods and functionalizing agents are described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,474,796, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.

In some instances, a substrate surface is functionalized by contact with a derivatizing composition that contains a mixture of silanes, under reaction conditions effective to couple the silanes to the substrate surface, typically via reactive hydrophilic moieties present on the substrate surface. Silanization generally covers a surface through self-assembly with organofunctional alkoxysilane molecules. A variety of siloxane functionalizing reagents can further be used as currently known in the art, e.g., for lowering or increasing surface energy. The organofunctional alkoxysilanes are classified according to their organic functions.

Polynucleotide Synthesis

Methods of the current disclosure for polynucleotide synthesis may include processes involving phosphoramidite chemistry. In some instances, polynucleotide synthesis comprises coupling a base with phosphoramidite. Polynucleotide synthesis may comprise coupling a base by deposition of phosphoramidite under coupling conditions, wherein the same base is optionally deposited with phosphoramidite more than once, i.e., double coupling. Polynucleotide synthesis may comprise capping of unreacted sites. In some instances, capping is optional. Polynucleotide synthesis may also comprise oxidation or an oxidation step or oxidation steps. Polynucleotide synthesis may comprise deblocking, detritylation, and sulfurization. In some instances, polynucleotide synthesis comprises either oxidation or sulfurization. In some instances, between one or each step during a polynucleotide synthesis reaction, the device is washed, for example, using tetrazole or acetonitrile. Time frames for any one step in a phosphoramidite synthesis method may be less than about 2 min, 1 min, 50 sec, 40 sec, 30 sec, 20 sec and 10 sec.

Polynucleotide synthesis using a phosphoramidite method may comprise a subsequent addition of a phosphoramidite building block (e.g., nucleoside phosphoramidite) to a growing polynucleotide chain for the formation of a phosphite triester linkage. Phosphoramidite polynucleotide synthesis proceeds in the 3′ to 5′ direction. Phosphoramidite polynucleotide synthesis allows for the controlled addition of one nucleotide to a growing nucleic acid chain per synthesis cycle. In some instances, each synthesis cycle comprises a coupling step. Phosphoramidite coupling involves the formation of a phosphite triester linkage between an activated nucleoside phosphoramidite and a nucleoside bound to the substrate, for example, via a linker. In some instances, the nucleoside phosphoramidite is provided to the device activated. In some instances, the nucleoside phosphoramidite is provided to the device with an activator. In some instances, nucleoside phosphoramidites are provided to the device in a 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100-fold excess or more over the substrate-bound nucleosides. In some instances, the addition of nucleoside phosphoramidite is performed in an anhydrous environment, for example, in anhydrous acetonitrile. Following addition of a nucleoside phosphoramidite, the device is optionally washed. In some instances, the coupling step is repeated one or more additional times, optionally with a wash step between nucleoside phosphoramidite additions to the substrate. In some instances, a polynucleotide synthesis method used herein comprises 1, 2, 3 or more sequential coupling steps. Prior to coupling, in many cases, the nucleoside bound to the device is de-protected by removal of a protecting group, where the protecting group functions to prevent polymerization. A common protecting group is 4,4′-dimethoxytrityl (DMT).

Following coupling, phosphoramidite polynucleotide synthesis methods optionally comprise a capping step. In a capping step, the growing polynucleotide is treated with a capping agent. A capping step is useful to block unreacted substrate-bound 5′-OH groups after coupling from further chain elongation, preventing the formation of polynucleotides with internal base deletions. Further, phosphoramidites activated with 1H-tetrazole may react, to a small extent, with the O6 position of guanosine. Without being bound by theory, upon oxidation with I₂/water, this side product, possibly via O6-N7 migration, may undergo depurination. The apurinic sites may end up being cleaved in the course of the final deprotection of the polynucleotide thus reducing the yield of the full-length product. The O6 modifications may be removed by treatment with the capping reagent prior to oxidation with I₂/water. In some instances, inclusion of a capping step during polynucleotide synthesis decreases the error rate as compared to synthesis without capping. As an example, the capping step comprises treating the substrate-bound polynucleotide with a mixture of acetic anhydride and 1-methylimidazole. Following a capping step, the device is optionally washed.

In some instances, following addition of a nucleoside phosphoramidite, and optionally after capping and one or more wash steps, the device bound growing nucleic acid is oxidized. The oxidation step comprises the phosphite triester is oxidized into a tetracoordinated phosphate triester, a protected precursor of the naturally occurring phosphate diester internucleoside linkage. In some instances, oxidation of the growing polynucleotide is achieved by treatment with iodine and water, optionally in the presence of a weak base (e.g., pyridine, lutidine, collidine). Oxidation may be carried out under anhydrous conditions using, e.g. tert-Butyl hydroperoxide or (1S)-(+)-(10-camphorsulfonyl)-oxaziridine (CSO). In some methods, a capping step is performed following oxidation. A second capping step allows for device drying, as residual water from oxidation that may persist can inhibit subsequent coupling. Following oxidation, the device and growing polynucleotide is optionally washed. In some instances, the step of oxidation is substituted with a sulfurization step to obtain polynucleotide phosphorothioates, wherein any capping steps can be performed after the sulfurization. Many reagents are capable of the efficient sulfur transfer, including but not limited to 3-(Dimethylaminomethylidene)amino)-3H-1,2,4-dithiazole-3-thione, DDTT, 3H-1,2-benzodithiol-3-one 1,1-dioxide, also known as Beaucage reagent, and N,N,N′N′-Tetraethylthiuram disulfide (TETD).

In order for a subsequent cycle of nucleoside incorporation to occur through coupling, the protected 5′ end of the device bound growing polynucleotide is removed so that the primary hydroxyl group is reactive with a next nucleoside phosphoramidite. In some instances, the protecting group is DMT and deblocking occurs with trichloroacetic acid in dichloromethane. Conducting detritylation for an extended time or with stronger than recommended solutions of acids may lead to increased depurination of solid support-bound polynucleotide and thus reduces the yield of the desired full-length product. Methods and compositions of the disclosure described herein provide for controlled deblocking conditions limiting undesired depurination reactions. In some instances, the device bound polynucleotide is washed after deblocking. In some instances, efficient washing after deblocking contributes to synthesized polynucleotides having a low error rate.

Methods for the synthesis of polynucleotides typically involve an iterating sequence of the following steps: application of a protected monomer to an actively functionalized surface (e.g., locus) to link with either the activated surface, a linker or with a previously deprotected monomer; deprotection of the applied monomer so that it is reactive with a subsequently applied protected monomer; and application of another protected monomer for linking. One or more intermediate steps include oxidation or sulfurization. In some instances, one or more wash steps precede or follow one or all of the steps.

Methods for phosphoramidite-based polynucleotide synthesis comprise a series of chemical steps. In some instances, one or more steps of a synthesis method involve reagent cycling, where one or more steps of the method comprise application to the device of a reagent useful for the step. For example, reagents are cycled by a series of liquid deposition and vacuum drying steps. For substrates comprising three-dimensional features such as wells, microwells, channels and the like, reagents are optionally passed through one or more regions of the device via the wells and/or channels.

Methods and systems described herein relate to polynucleotide synthesis devices for the synthesis of polynucleotides. The synthesis may be in parallel. For example, at least or about at least 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 650, 700, 750, 800, 850, 900, 1000, 10000, 50000, 75000, 100000 or more polynucleotides can be synthesized in parallel. The total number polynucleotides that may be synthesized in parallel may be from 2-100000, 3-50000, 4-10000, 5-1000, 6-900, 7-850, 8-800, 9-750, 10-700, 11-650, 12-600, 13-550, 14-500, 15-450, 16-400, 17-350, 18-300, 19-250, 20-200, 21-150, 22-100, 23-50, 24-45, 25-40, 30-35. Those of skill in the art appreciate that the total number of polynucleotides synthesized in parallel may fall within any range bound by any of these values, for example 25-100. The total number of polynucleotides synthesized in parallel may fall within any range defined by any of the values serving as endpoints of the range. Total molar mass of polynucleotides synthesized within the device or the molar mass of each of the polynucleotides may be at least or at least about 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 100, 250, 500, 750, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000, 10000, 25000, 50000, 75000, 100000 picomoles, or more. The length of each of the polynucleotides or average length of the polynucleotides within the device may be at least or about at least 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 100, 150, 200, 300, 400, 500 nucleotides, or more. The length of each of the polynucleotides or average length of the polynucleotides within the device may be at most or about at most 500, 400, 300, 200, 150, 100, 50, 45, 35, 30, 25, 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10 nucleotides, or less. The length of each of the polynucleotides or average length of the polynucleotides within the device may fall from 10-500, 9-400, 11-300, 12-200, 13-150, 14-100, 15-50, 16-45, 17-40, 18-35, 19-25. Those of skill in the art appreciate that the length of each of the polynucleotides or average length of the polynucleotides within the device may fall within any range bound by any of these values, for example 100-300. The length of each of the polynucleotides or average length of the polynucleotides within the device may fall within any range defined by any of the values serving as endpoints of the range.

Methods for polynucleotide synthesis on a surface provided herein allow for synthesis at a fast rate. As an example, at least 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200 nucleotides per hour, or more are synthesized. Nucleotides include adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine, uridine building blocks, or analogs/modified versions thereof. In some instances, libraries of polynucleotides are synthesized in parallel on substrate. For example, a device comprising about or at least about 100; 1,000; 10,000; 30,000; 75,000; 100,000; 1,000,000; 2,000,000; 3,000,000; 4,000,000; or 5,000,000 resolved loci is able to support the synthesis of at least the same number of distinct polynucleotides, wherein polynucleotide encoding a distinct sequence is synthesized on a resolved locus. In some instances, a library of polynucleotides is synthesized on a device with low error rates described herein in less than about three months, two months, one month, three weeks, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 days, 24 hours or less. In some instances, larger nucleic acids assembled from a polynucleotide library synthesized with low error rate using the substrates and methods described herein are prepared in less than about three months, two months, one month, three weeks, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 days, 24 hours or less.

In some instances, methods described herein provide for generation of a library of nucleic acids comprising variant nucleic acids differing at a plurality of codon sites. In some instances, a nucleic acid may have 1 site, 2 sites, 3 sites, 4 sites, 5 sites, 6 sites, 7 sites, 8 sites, 9 sites, 10 sites, 11 sites, 12 sites, 13 sites, 14 sites, 15 sites, 16 sites, 17 sites 18 sites, 19 sites, 20 sites, 30 sites, 40 sites, 50 sites, or more of variant codon sites.

In some instances, the one or more sites of variant codon sites may be adjacent. In some instances, the one or more sites of variant codon sites may not be adjacent and separated by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more codons.

In some instances, a nucleic acid may comprise multiple sites of variant codon sites, wherein all the variant codon sites are adjacent to one another, forming a stretch of variant codon sites. In some instances, a nucleic acid may comprise multiple sites of variant codon sites, wherein none the variant codon sites are adjacent to one another. In some instances, a nucleic acid may comprise multiple sites of variant codon sites, wherein some the variant codon sites are adjacent to one another, forming a stretch of variant codon sites, and some of the variant codon sites are not adjacent to one another.

Referring to the Figures, FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary process workflow for synthesis of nucleic acids (e.g., genes) from shorter nucleic acids. The workflow is divided generally into phases: (1) de novo synthesis of a single stranded nucleic acid library, (2) joining nucleic acids to form larger fragments, (3) error correction, (4) quality control, and (5) shipment. Prior to de novo synthesis, an intended nucleic acid sequence or group of nucleic acid sequences is preselected. For example, a group of genes is preselected for generation.

Once large nucleic acids for generation are selected, a predetermined library of nucleic acids is designed for de novo synthesis. Various suitable methods are known for generating high density polynucleotide arrays. In the workflow example, a device surface layer is provided. In the example, chemistry of the surface is altered in order to improve the polynucleotide synthesis process. Areas of low surface energy are generated to repel liquid while areas of high surface energy are generated to attract liquids. The surface itself may be in the form of a planar surface or contain variations in shape, such as protrusions or microwells which increase surface area. In the workflow example, high surface energy molecules selected serve a dual function of supporting DNA chemistry, as disclosed in International Patent Application Publication WO/2015/021080, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.

In situ preparation of polynucleotide arrays is generated on a solid support and utilizes single nucleotide extension process to extend multiple oligomers in parallel. A deposition device, such as a material deposition device 201, is designed to release reagents in a step wise fashion such that multiple polynucleotides extend, in parallel, one residue at a time to generate oligomers with a predetermined nucleic acid sequence 202. In some instances, polynucleotides are cleaved from the surface at this stage. Cleavage includes gas cleavage, e.g., with ammonia or methylamine.

The generated polynucleotide libraries are placed in a reaction chamber. In this exemplary workflow, the reaction chamber (also referred to as “nanoreactor”) is a silicon coated well, containing PCR reagents and lowered onto the polynucleotide library 203. Prior to or after the sealing 204 of the polynucleotides, a reagent is added to release the polynucleotides from the substrate. In the exemplary workflow, the polynucleotides are released subsequent to sealing of the nanoreactor 205. Once released, fragments of single stranded polynucleotides hybridize in order to span an entire long range sequence of DNA. Partial hybridization 205 is possible because each synthesized polynucleotide is designed to have a small portion overlapping with at least one other polynucleotide in the pool.

After hybridization, a PCA reaction is commenced. During the polymerase cycles, the polynucleotides anneal to complementary fragments and gaps are filled in by a polymerase. Each cycle increases the length of various fragments randomly depending on which polynucleotides find each other. Complementarity amongst the fragments allows for forming a complete large span of double stranded DNA 206.

After PCA is complete, the nanoreactor is separated from the device 207 and positioned for interaction with a device having primers for PCR 208. After sealing, the nanoreactor is subject to PCR 209 and the larger nucleic acids are amplified. After PCR 210, the nanochamber is opened 211, error correction reagents are added 212, the chamber is sealed 213 and an error correction reaction occurs to remove mismatched base pairs and/or strands with poor complementarity from the double stranded PCR amplification products 214. The nanoreactor is opened and separated 215. Error corrected product is next subject to additional processing steps, such as PCR and molecular bar coding, and then packaged 222 for shipment 223.

In some instances, quality control measures are taken. After error correction, quality control steps include for example interaction with a wafer having sequencing primers for amplification of the error corrected product 216, sealing the wafer to a chamber containing error corrected amplification product 217, and performing an additional round of amplification 218. The nanoreactor is opened 219 and the products are pooled 220 and sequenced 221. After an acceptable quality control determination is made, the packaged product 222 is approved for shipment 223.

In some instances, a nucleic acid generate by a workflow such as that in FIG. 2 is subject to mutagenesis using overlapping primers disclosed herein. In some instances, a library of primers are generated by in situ preparation on a solid support and utilize single nucleotide extension process to extend multiple oligomers in parallel. A deposition device, such as a material deposition device, is designed to release reagents in a step wise fashion such that multiple polynucleotides extend, in parallel, one residue at a time to generate oligomers with a predetermined nucleic acid sequence 202.

Computer Systems

Any of the systems described herein, may be operably linked to a computer and may be automated through a computer either locally or remotely. In various instances, the methods and systems of the disclosure may further comprise software programs on computer systems and use thereof. Accordingly, computerized control for the synchronization of the dispense/vacuum/refill functions such as orchestrating and synchronizing the material deposition device movement, dispense action and vacuum actuation are within the bounds of the disclosure. The computer systems may be programmed to interface between the user specified base sequence and the position of a material deposition device to deliver the correct reagents to specified regions of the substrate.

The computer system 300 illustrated in FIG. 3 may be understood as a logical apparatus that can read instructions from media 311 and/or a network port 305, which can optionally be connected to server 309 having fixed media 312. The system, such as shown in FIG. 3 can include a CPU 301, disk drives 303, optional input devices such as keyboard 315 and/or mouse 316 and optional monitor 307. Data communication can be achieved through the indicated communication medium to a server at a local or a remote location. The communication medium can include any means of transmitting and/or receiving data. For example, the communication medium can be a network connection, a wireless connection or an internet connection. Such a connection can provide for communication over the World Wide Web. It is envisioned that data relating to the present disclosure can be transmitted over such networks or connections for reception and/or review by a party 322 as illustrated in FIG. 3.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating a first example architecture of a computer system 400 that can be used in connection with example instances of the present disclosure. As depicted in FIG. 4, the example computer system can include a processor 402 for processing instructions. Non-limiting examples of processors include: Intel Xeon™ processor, AMD Opteron™ processor, Samsung 32-bit RISC ARM 1176JZ(F)-S v1.0™ processor, ARM Cortex-A8 Samsung S5PC100™ processor, ARM Cortex-A8 Apple A4™ processor, Marvell PXA 930™ processor, or a functionally-equivalent processor. Multiple threads of execution can be used for parallel processing. In some instances, multiple processors or processors with multiple cores can also be used, whether in a single computer system, in a cluster, or distributed across systems over a network comprising a plurality of computers, cell phones, and/or personal data assistant devices.

As illustrated in FIG. 4, a high speed cache 404 can be connected to, or incorporated in, the processor 402 to provide a high speed memory for instructions or data that have been recently, or are frequently, used by processor 402. The processor 402 is connected to a north bridge 406 by a processor bus 408. The north bridge 406 is connected to random access memory (RAM) 410 by a memory bus 412 and manages access to the RAM 410 by the processor 402. The north bridge 406 is also connected to a south bridge 414 by a chipset bus 416. The south bridge 414 is, in turn, connected to a peripheral bus 418. The peripheral bus can be, for example, PCI, PCI-X, PCI Express, or other peripheral bus. The north bridge and south bridge are often referred to as a processor chipset and manage data transfer between the processor, RAM, and peripheral components on the peripheral bus 418. In some alternative architectures, the functionality of the north bridge can be incorporated into the processor instead of using a separate north bridge chip. In some instances, system 400 can include an accelerator card 422 attached to the peripheral bus 418. The accelerator can include field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) or other hardware for accelerating certain processing. For example, an accelerator can be used for adaptive data restructuring or to evaluate algebraic expressions used in extended set processing.

Software and data are stored in external storage 424 and can be loaded into RAM 410 and/or cache 404 for use by the processor. The system 400 includes an operating system for managing system resources; non-limiting examples of operating systems include: Linux, Windows™, MACOS™, BlackBerry OS™, iOS™, and other functionally-equivalent operating systems, as well as application software running on top of the operating system for managing data storage and optimization in accordance with example instances of the present disclosure. In this example, system 400 also includes network interface cards (NICs) 420 and 421 connected to the peripheral bus for providing network interfaces to external storage, such as Network Attached Storage (NAS) and other computer systems that can be used for distributed parallel processing.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a network 500 with a plurality of computer systems 502a, and 502b, a plurality of cell phones and personal data assistants 502c, and Network Attached Storage (NAS) 504a, and 504b. In example instances, systems 502a, 502b, and 502c can manage data storage and optimize data access for data stored in Network Attached Storage (NAS) 504a and 504b. A mathematical model can be used for the data and be evaluated using distributed parallel processing across computer systems 502a, and 502b, and cell phone and personal data assistant systems 502c. Computer systems 502a, and 502b, and cell phone and personal data assistant systems 502c can also provide parallel processing for adaptive data restructuring of the data stored in Network Attached Storage (NAS) 504a and 504b. FIG. 5 illustrates an example only, and a wide variety of other computer architectures and systems can be used in conjunction with the various instances of the present disclosure. For example, a blade server can be used to provide parallel processing. Processor blades can be connected through a back plane to provide parallel processing. Storage can also be connected to the back plane or as Network Attached Storage (NAS) through a separate network interface. In some example instances, processors can maintain separate memory spaces and transmit data through network interfaces, back plane or other connectors for parallel processing by other processors. In other instances, some or all of the processors can use a shared virtual address memory space.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram of a multiprocessor computer system using a shared virtual address memory space in accordance with an example instance. The system includes a plurality of processors 602a-f that can access a shared memory subsystem 604. The system incorporates a plurality of programmable hardware memory algorithm processors (MAPs) 606a-f in the memory subsystem 604. Each MAP 606a-f can comprise a memory 608a-f and one or more field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) 610a-f. The MAP provides a configurable functional unit and particular algorithms or portions of algorithms can be provided to the FPGAs 610a-f for processing in close coordination with a respective processor. For example, the MAPs can be used to evaluate algebraic expressions regarding the data model and to perform adaptive data restructuring in example instances. In this example, each MAP is globally accessible by all of the processors for these purposes. In one configuration, each MAP can use Direct Memory Access (DMA) to access an associated memory 608a-f, allowing it to execute tasks independently of, and asynchronously from the respective microprocessor 602a-f. In this configuration, a MAP can feed results directly to another MAP for pipelining and parallel execution of algorithms.

The above computer architectures and systems are examples only, and a wide variety of other computer, cell phone, and personal data assistant architectures and systems can be used in connection with example instances, including systems using any combination of general processors, co-processors, FPGAs and other programmable logic devices, system on chips (SOCs), application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), and other processing and logic elements. In some instances, all or part of the computer system can be implemented in software or hardware. Any variety of data storage media can be used in connection with example instances, including random access memory, hard drives, flash memory, tape drives, disk arrays, Network Attached Storage (NAS) and other local or distributed data storage devices and systems.

In example instances, the computer system can be implemented using software modules executing on any of the above or other computer architectures and systems. In other instances, the functions of the system can be implemented partially or completely in firmware, programmable logic devices such as field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) as referenced in FIG. 4, system on chips (SOCs), application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), or other processing and logic elements. For example, the Set Processor and Optimizer can be implemented with hardware acceleration through the use of a hardware accelerator card, such as accelerator card 422 illustrated in FIG. 4.

Unless otherwise stated, all parts and percentages are on a weight basis.

EXAMPLES

The following examples are given for the purpose of illustrating various embodiments of the disclosure and are not meant to limit the present disclosure in any fashion. The present examples, along with the methods described herein are presently representative of preferred embodiments, are exemplary, and are not intended as limitations on the scope of the disclosure. Changes therein and other uses which are encompassed within the spirit of the disclosure as defined by the scope of the claims will occur to those skilled in the art.

Example 1: Functionalization of a Device Surface

A device was functionalized to support the attachment and synthesis of a library of polynucleotides. The device surface was first wet cleaned using a piranha solution comprising 90% H₂SO₄ and 10% H₂O₂ for 20 minutes. The device was rinsed in several beakers with DI water, held under a DI water gooseneck faucet for 5 min, and dried with N2. The device was subsequently soaked in NH₄OH (1:100; 3 mL:300 mL) for 5 min, rinsed with DI water using a handgun, soaked in three successive beakers with DI water for 1 min each, and then rinsed again with DI water using the handgun. The device was then plasma cleaned by exposing the device surface to O₂. A SAMCO PC-300 instrument was used to plasma etch O₂ at 250 watts for 1 min in downstream mode.

The cleaned device surface was actively functionalized with a solution comprising N-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)-4-hydroxybutyramide using a YES-1224P vapor deposition oven system with the following parameters: 0.5 to 1 torr, 60 min, 70° C., 135° C. vaporizer. The device surface was resist coated using a Brewer Science 200× spin coater. SPR™ 3612 photoresist was spin coated on the device at 2500 rpm for 40 sec. The device was pre-baked for 30 min at 90° C. on a Brewer hot plate. The device was subjected to photolithography using a Karl Suss MA6 mask aligner instrument. The device was exposed for 2.2 sec and developed for 1 min in MSF 26A. Remaining developer was rinsed with the handgun and the device soaked in water for 5 min. The device was baked for 30 min at 100° C. in the oven, followed by visual inspection for lithography defects using a Nikon L200. A descum process was used to remove residual resist using the SAMCO PC-300 instrument to O2 plasma etch at 250 watts for 1 min.

The device surface was passively functionalized with a 100 μL solution of perfluorooctyltrichlorosilane mixed with 10 μL light mineral oil. The device was placed in a chamber, pumped for 10 min, and then the valve was closed to the pump and left to stand for 10 min. The chamber was vented to air. The device was resist stripped by performing two soaks for 5 min in 500 mL NMP at 70° C. with ultrasonication at maximum power (9 on Crest system). The device was then soaked for 5 min in 500 mL isopropanol at room temperature with ultrasonication at maximum power. The device was dipped in 300 mL of 200 proof ethanol and blown dry with N₂. The functionalized surface was activated to serve as a support for polynucleotide synthesis.

Example 2: Synthesis of a 50-Mer Sequence on an Oligonucleotide Synthesis Device

A two dimensional oligonucleotide synthesis device was assembled into a flowcell, which was connected to a flowcell (Applied Biosystems (ABI394 DNA Synthesizer”). The two-dimensional oligonucleotide synthesis device was uniformly functionalized with N-(3-TRIETHOXYSILYLPROPYL)-4-HYDROXYBUTYRAMIDE (Gelest) was used to synthesize an exemplary polynucleotide of 50 bp (“50-mer polynucleotide”) using polynucleotide synthesis methods described herein.

The sequence of the 50-mer was as described.

CTCTAGACTTCGGCAT##TTTTTTTTTT3′,

where # denotes Thymidine-succinyl hexamide CED phosphoramidite (CLP-2244 from ChemGenes), which is a cleavable linker enabling the release of oligos from the surface during deprotection.

The synthesis was done using standard DNA synthesis chemistry (coupling, capping, oxidation, and deblocking) according to the protocol in Table 2 and an ABI synthesizer.

The phosphoramidite/activator combination was delivered similar to the delivery of bulk reagents through the flowcell. No drying steps were performed as the environment stays “wet” with reagent the entire time.

The flow restrictor was removed from the ABI 394 synthesizer to enable faster flow. Without flow restrictor, flow rates for amidites (0.1M in ACN), Activator, (0.25M Benzoylthiotetrazole (“BTT”; 30-3070-xx from GlenResearch) in ACN), and Ox (0.02M I2 in 20% pyridine, 10% water, and 70% THF) were roughly ˜100 uL/sec, for acetonitrile (“ACN”) and capping reagents (1:1 mix of CapA and CapB, wherein CapA is acetic anhydride in THF/Pyridine and CapB is 16% 1-methylimidizole in THF), roughly ˜200 uL/sec, and for Deblock (3% dichloroacetic acid in toluene), roughly ˜300 uL/sec (compared to ˜50 uL/sec for all reagents with flow restrictor). The time to completely push out Oxidizer was observed, the timing for chemical flow times was adjusted accordingly and an extra ACN wash was introduced between different chemicals. After polynucleotide synthesis, the chip was deprotected in gaseous ammonia overnight at 75 psi. Five drops of water were applied to the surface to recover polynucleotides. The recovered polynucleotides were then analyzed on a BioAnalyzer small RNA chip.

Example 3: Synthesis of a 100-Mer Sequence on an Oligonucleotide Synthesis Device

The same process as described in Example 2 for the synthesis of the 50-mer sequence was used for the synthesis of a 100-mer polynucleotide (“100-mer polynucleotide”; 5′ CGGGATCCTTATCGTCATCGTCGTACAGATCCCGACCCATTTGCTGTCCACCAGTCATGCTAGC CATACCATGATGATGATGATGATGAGAACCCCGCAT##TTTTTTTTTT3′, where # denotes Thymidine-succinyl hexamide CED phosphoramidite (CLP-2244 from ChemGenes) on two different silicon chips, the first one uniformly functionalized with N-(3-TRIETHOXYSILYLPROPYL)-4-HYDROXYBUTYRAMIDE and the second one functionalized with 5/95 mix of 11-acetoxyundecyltriethoxysilane and n-decyltriethoxysilane, and the polynucleotides extracted from the surface were analyzed on a BioAnalyzer instrument.

All ten samples from the two chips were further PCR amplified using a forward (5′ATGCGGGGTTCTCATCATC3′) and a reverse (5′CGGGATCCTTATCGTCATCG3′) primer in a 50 uL PCR mix (25 uL NEB Q5 mastermix, 2.5 uL 10 uM Forward primer, 2.5 uL 10 uM Reverse primer, 1uL polynucleotide extracted from the surface, and water up to 50 uL) using the following thermalcycling program:

98° C., 30 sec

98° C., 10 sec; 63° C., 10 sec; 72° C., 10 sec; repeat 12 cycles

72° C., 2 min

The PCR products were also run on a BioAnalyzer, demonstrating sharp peaks at the 100-mer position. Next, the PCR amplified samples were cloned, and Sanger sequenced. Table 3 summarizes the results from the Sanger sequencing for samples taken from spots 1-5 from chip 1 and for samples taken from spots 6-10 from chip 2.

TABLE 3
Sequencing results
	Spot		Error rate	Cycle efficiency
	1	1/763	bp	99.87%
	2	1/824	bp	99.88%
	3	1/780	bp	99.87%
	4	1/429	bp	99.77%

	8	1/1769	bp	99.94%
	9	1/854	bp	99.88%
	10	1/1451	bp	99.93%

Thus, the high quality and uniformity of the synthesized polynucleotides were repeated on two chips with different surface chemistries. Overall, 89% of the 100-mers that were sequenced were perfect sequences with no errors, corresponding to 233 out of 262.

Table 4 summarizes error characteristics for the sequences obtained from the polynucleotides samples from spots 1-10.

Example 4: Panning and Screening for Identification of Antibodies for SARS-CoV-2 and ACE2

This example describes identification of antibodies for SARS-CoV-2 and ACE2.

Phage displayed scFv, VHH, and Fab libraries were panned for binding to biotinylated SARS-CoV-2 S1 and human ACE2. FIG. 7 shows a schema of the panning strategy. Biotinylated antigen was bound to streptavidin coated magnetic beads at a density of 100 pmol antigen per mg of beads (Thermo Fisher #11206D). Phage libraries were blocked with 5% BSA in PBS. Following magnetic bead depletion for 1 hour at room temperature (RT), the beads were removed, and phage supernatant was transferred to 1 mg of antigen-bound beads in 1 ml PBS and incubated at RT with rotation for 1 hour. Non-binding clones were washed away by addition of 1 ml PBST, increasing the number of washes with each panning round. Trypsin was used to elute the phage bound to the antigen-bead complex. Phage were amplified in TG1 E. coli for the next round of selection. This selection strategy was repeated for four rounds, with successively lower amounts of antigen per round. Following all four selection rounds, 400 clones from each of round 2, 3, and 4 were selected for phage expression and phage ELISA screening. Data from the panning is seen in Table 5.

To test for binding to SARS-CoV-2 S1 and ACE2, phage were expressed from each picked colony by KO7 superinfection in 384 well microtiter plates. Phage containing supernatant was blocked by 1:1 addition of 4% non-fat milk (NFM). Assay plates were prepared by passive immobilization of 0.4 μg antigen in 384-well Maxisorp plates (Thermo Fisher #464718) and then blocked with 4% NFM. Following 3× wash in PBST, blocked phage supernatant was incubated for 1 hour at RT. After 3× wash in PBST, 0.3 μg/ml anti-M13-HRP (Sino Biological #11973-MM05T-H) was aliquoted for 1 hour incubation at room temperature. Binding of phage-displayed antibody was determined by absorbance at 450 nm with 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (Thermo Fisher #34029). Phage that bound to antigen with 3× over background of human Fc protein were identified as potential binders for sequencing analysis. DNA was amplified by rolling circle amplification from glycerol stocks of each clone and submitted for Sanger sequencing (Genewiz) to capture the VH and VL domains. FIGS. 8A-8D shows phage ELISA data from round 4 of SARS-CoV-2 S1 (subunit 1) protein panning for antibody 1 (FIGS. 8A-8B) and antibody 2 (FIGS. 8C-8D). FIGS. 9A-9D shows phage ELISA data from round 4 of ACE2 protein panning for antibody 3 (FIGS. 9A-9B) and antibody 4 (FIGS. 9C-9D).

SARS-CoV-2 variants were tested for specificity using a phage ELISA as described above. The antigens used included Acro COVID S1 (S1N-C82E8), COVID S1 RBD Fc fusion (Antigen 1), and COVID S1 RBM Fc fusion (Antigen 2). Data from the phage ELISA is seen in Table 6A. Table 6A shows screening ELISA mean, fold over background (column A), specificity ELISA, fold over background (column B), and specificity ELISA, percent binding relative to binding to Acro S1 (column C). As seen in Table 6A, nearly all receptor binding domain (RBD) specific clones show good binding to full length subunit 1 (S1) and produced S1 RBD Fc. None of the S1 RBD variants were found to bind to S1 RBM Fc.

Example 5. SARS-CoV-2 and ACE Variants

SARS-CoV-2 and ACE variant antibodies were tested for specificity and affinity.

Recombinant S1 Protein (Acros Biosystems Cat. No. S1N-S52H5) was passively immobilized on a 384 well ELISA plate and blocked with BSA. The S1 Panel antibodies were diluted from 50 nM to 0.0076 nM and incubated with the blocked plate. Antibody binding was detected using Goat-anti-Human-HRP secondary and developed with HRP substrate (list here). The absorbance signal was plotted as % of maximal binding and fitted to determine the EC50 of each antibody using GraphPad Prism.

Exemplary data for affinity of SARS-CoV-2 variant 2-6 is seen in FIGS. 11A-11B. The binding of SARS-CoV-2 panel of antibodies was measured as seen in FIG. 12 and Tables 7A-7F below.

Data for competition ELISA for a first set of SARS-CoV-2 S1 RBD and ACE2 variant antibodies is seen in FIGS. 13A-13B and FIG. 14A. SARS-CoV-2 variant antibodies with high potency in order of potency included variant 2-2, Acro mAb (1.5333), variant 2-5, variant 1-12, and variant 2-9. ACE variant antibodies with high potency in order of potency included variant 4-52, variant 4-17, variant 4-39, Acro mAb (1.533), variant 4-54, and variant 3.5. Data for competition ELISA for a second set of ACE2 variant antibodies is seen in FIG. 14B. Variant antibodies with high potency in order of potency included variant 4-101, variant 4-140, variant 4-121, variant 4-118, and Acro mAb (2.76 nM). FIGS. 14C-14D show the SARS-CoV-2 variant antibodies show potent neutralization.

Inhibition assays were also performed as seen in FIG. 15.

SARS-CoV-2 variant antibodies were assayed for Vero inhibition using FACS. Briefly, Vero cells stripped with Cell Stripper (˜20 minutes with 90% viability after removal). Cells were plated at 0.1×10⁶ cells per well. Stock solution of the variant antibodies were at 200 nM titrated 1:3. SARS-CoV-2 S protein RBD, SPD-C5259 were made up at 6 ug/mL. Variant antibody titrations were mixed 1:1 with 6 ug/mL S protein (50 uL IgG: 50 uL S protein). 100 uL of the mixture were added to cells and then incubated on ice for 1 hour. The cells were washed 1× followed by addition of 50 uL of goat anti-mouse secondary made up at 1:200. The cells were then incubated on ice for 1 hour in the dark, washed three times, and the plates were then read. Data for SARS-CoV-2 variant antibodies is seen in FIGS. 16A-16D, FIGS. 17A-17D, and Tables 8 and 9. As seen in the data, several variant antibodies blocked labeled S1 RBD from binding to ACE2 on the Vero cells including variants 2-8, 2-5, 2-2, 2-4, and 1-63.

The variant antibodies were also measured in binding against other coronaviruses. Data shows that the variant antibodies do not bind significantly to S1 HCoV-229E (Sino), S1 HCoV-HKU1 (Sino), S1 HCoV-NL63 (Sino), or S1 HCoV-OC43 (Sino) (data not shown).

The data shows that the SARS-CoV-2 and ACE2 variant antibodies have high specificity and affinity to their antigen targets with affinities in the picomolar to nanomolar range.

Example 6. SARS-CoV-2 S1 Variants

VHH-Fc antibodies targeting S1 were titrated 1:3 starting at 200 nM and mixed 1:1 with SARS-COV2-S1 RBD (mouse IgG2Fc tag). The RBD/VHH-Fc complex was added to Vero E6 cells expressing endogenous ACE2 receptor and incubated. Cells were subsequently washed and an anti-mouse secondary was used to measure binding of S1 RBD to ACE2, thus assessing the inhibition of S1. Over 60 clones demonstrated potent inhibition. Data is seen in FIGS. 18A-18C and Tables 11 and 12.

Example 8. In Vivo Evaluation of Variant Coronavirus Immunoglobulins

This Example assesses the variant coronavirus immunoglobulins in a Syrian hamster model (immunosuppressed) of COVID-19 disease.

8-10 week-old female Syrian hamsters were immunosuppressed using cyclophosphamide (140 mg/kg day 3 days before challenge and then 100 mg/kg every 4 days by i.p. route). Eleven groups of six hamsters per group were injected with antibody on day −1 relative to challenge by the intraperitoneal route (i.p.). On Day 0 all hamster were challenged with 1,000 PFU SARS CoV-2 Washington isolate by the intranasal route and weighed daily. % Weight change relative to starting weight was calculated. Pharyngeal swabs were collected on Days −1, 1, 4, 7, 9. Day 9 lungs were collected and homogenized for viral load. Groups are shown in Table 17.

TABLE 17
Groups

6-36                       PBS/2.5 mL
NA = not applicable

Animals injected intraperitonealy (i.p.) with the Negative Control antibody lost weight starting losing significant amounts of weight between Days 5 and 6 and continued to decline until the end of the experiment on Day 9. The maximum mean weight loss of the group was −11.7%. In contrast, animals injected with positive control human convalescent plasma maintained weight within −3.2% of their weight on Day 0 indicating this plasma protected against disease manifested by weight loss (FIG. 21A).

Groups of six animals were injected i.p. with 10, 5, or 1 mg/kg of monoclonal antibody 6-63 diluted in PBS. All groups maintained their weight at or above starting weight indicating the antibody protected against disease resulting weight loss (FIG. 21B).

Groups of six animals were injected i.p. with 10, 5, or 1 mg/kg of monoclonal antibody 6-3 diluted in PBS. The 1 and 10 mg/kg groups maintained their weight at or above starting weight at all time points. The 5 mg/kg group weight dipped slightly below the convalescent control on Days 7-9 but clearly was different from the Negative Control antibody. Together, these data indicate the antibody decreased weight loss associated with disease (FIG. 21C).

Groups of six animals were injected i.p. with 10, 5, or 1 mg/kg of monoclonal antibody 6-36 diluted in PBS. The 10 and 5 mg/kg groups maintained their weight at levels similar to the positive control at all time points. The 1 mg/kg group weight dropped significantly similar to the Negative Control. These data indicate antibody 6-36 at 1 mg/kg is insufficient to provide benefit, but a 5-fold or greater dose is adequate to reduce disease as determined by weight loss (FIG. 21D).

FIG. 3421E shows data from the variant antibodies grouped by dose. FIG. 21F shows graphs of percent weight change for antibodies 6-3, 6-63, and 1-20.

In wild type hamsters, virus is typically cleared by Day 7. However, in the cyclophosphamide model, viral levels are not suppressed unless there is intervention (e.g. protective antibodies administered) or the cyclophosphamide is discontinued to allow immune response and clearance. In this experiment the positive control human convalescent serum eliminated virus from the lungs from all except one hamster. In contrast, all but one of the hamsters injected with negative control antibody still had infectious virus in the lungs. Interestingly, hamsters prophylactically treated (24 hour previous to exposure) with any of the three antibodies at the highest dose (10 mg/kg) had infectious virus in the lungs of at least half the animals assessed 9 days later. Paradoxically, 6-63 and 6-3 at the lower doses (5 and 1 mg/kg) had animals with relatively less infectious virus in the lungs. 4 of 6 animals injected with 1-20 at 5 mg/kg dose animals had no detectable virus in the lungs. When the doses of that antibody was reduced to 1 mg/kg, all but one animal had infectious virus. Data is seen in FIGS. 21G-21H.

Lung pathology inflammation and edema scores from three animals were added per group and plotted (FIG. 21I). These were the same lungs used to score ISH. The convalescent sera positive control median score was 2 and the negative control was 4. The only groups with a median score lower than the negative control group were 1 and 5 mg/kg 6-63, 10 and 5 mg/kg 6-3, and 5 mg/kg 1-20. The highest median pathology scores were the 1 and 10 mg/kg 1-20 groups. The lowest median pathology score was the 5 mg/kg 6-63 group.

Example 9. VSV-Pseudotype Neutralization Analysis of Antibodies for SARS-CoV-2 B.135 (South African Strain)

Antibodies described herein were tested in a VSV-pseudotype neutralization assay for SARS-CoV-2 B.135 (South African strain).

Briefly, aerial semi-log dilutions of all test antibodies (TA) and control were prepared and mixed with the VSV-pseudotype virus in a 1:1 ratio for 1 h at RT followed by incubation over Vero cells (ATCC® CCL-81™) seeded at 60,000 cells per well at 37° C. The cells were lysed the following day and luciferase activity was measured to assess the potency of each TA to block viral entry into the Vero cells. All samples will be run in triplicate. Data analysis is conducted using XLFit and Graphpad Prism. The testing concentrations and plate plan are seen in Table 18A.

Example 11. Antibody Cocktails for Treating SARS-CoV-2 in Syrian Hamsters

This Example demonstrates pre- and post-exposure efficacy of antibody cocktails in Syrian hamsters.

Methods

In this study the hamsters were transiently immunosuppressed using cyclophosphamide. As a strategy to de-risk selecting viruses with neutralization escape mutations a cocktail of a nanobody (nAb) and a monoclonal antibody (MAb) known to bind different spike protein epitopes were combined and used. The combined dose was 20 mg/Kg in this proof-of-concept experiment. The cocktail consisted of 10 mg/Kg of VHH nanobody 6-63 and 10 mg/Kg of monoclonal antibody 1-20. An equal number of male and female animals were used in each group.

Seventy-eight hamsters were used for this experiment according to Table 18B. On Day 0, animals were exposed via intranasal (IN) instillation to 1,000 pfu of SARS-CoV-2 virus in 50 μL volume. The volume was distributed between both nares. To transiently immunosuppress, all animals were treated with cyclophosphamide starting on Day −3 (140 mg/kg dose) followed by additional doses (100 mg/kg) on Days 1, 5, and 9.

On the indicated day post exposure, MAb/nAb cocktail or c7D11 was administered via the intraperitoneal (IP) route. On Day 0 blood samples were collected from Group I for hematology to confirm immunosuppression. Group I was also the control for any adverse effects of cyclophosphamide treatment on the hamsters. Clinical scores and individual animal weights were recorded daily. Pharyngeal swabs and other key events were determined. Animals in Groups A-I were euthanized on day 14 and lungs were collected for virology and pathology. Group J animals were used for a serial pathology component of this study. Two animals from Group J (2 male and 2 female) were euthanized starting on Day 1 and then each day up to and including Day 6.

Results

Cyclophosphamide treatment in uninfected animals does not result in weight loss. Control animals (CYP Controls, Group I), that were treated with CYP but not challenged gained weight overtime.

Negative control antibody c7D11 at 20 mg/kg, Group H, does not protect against disease associated weight loss. Hamsters in Group H lost weight starting on Day 6 (FIG. 24A). Weight loss continued until Day 10 when it leveled off Animals were still below 10% of their starting weight on the last day of the experiment (Day 14).

The cocktail administered one day prior to exposure protected against weight loss. Hamsters in Group A maintained their weight and stayed within 1% of starting weight (FIG. 24A). This confirmed that treatment with neutralizing antibodies before exposure was sufficient to protect against significant weight loss.

Post-exposure treatment of CYP hamster model of COVID19 produces variable weight loss effects/patterns. A onetime treatment of a cocktail containing 1-20 and 6-63 at final dose of 20 mg/Kg was administered on Days 1 (B), 2 (C), 3 (D), 4 (E), 5 (F), and 6 (G). The percent weight change relative to Day 0 are shown in FIG. 24A. Arrows and dotted vertical lines indicate the day of treatment specific for the treatment regimen being compared. The same data is shown collectively in FIG. 24B. Note that there were two animals in Group B (Day 1) that dropped weight atypically during the experiment and one animal succumbed on Day 12. That animal had a necrotic/hemorrhaging testicle due to an apparent torsion event and was excluded from analysis. No assignable cause was identified for the second animal so that animal was not excluded from analysis. Statistical analysis was performed to compare both the CYP Control (Group I) and the negative control antibody (c7d11, Group H) to all other groups. The significance between groups at individual timepoints and differences in area under the curve (AOC) were determined. Treatment with the cocktail one day after exposure (Group B) results were confounded by the outlier animal There was not a significant differences in AOC between Group B and Group H suggesting no protection; however, there was also no significant difference in the AOC between Group A and Group I indicating Group B weight loss was not significantly different from the CYP control group that was not exposed. Treatment with the cocktail two days after exposure (Group C) clearly protected. There was significant differences in AOC between Group C and Group H; and no significant difference in the AOC between Group C and Group I. Treatment after three days (Day 3 Group D) did not result in a significant difference in AOC between Group D and H. However, treatment on day 4 or 5 after exposure (Groups E and F, respectively) did significant reduce the AOC relative to Group H. Treatment on day 6 (Group G) was similar to treatment on day 3 where no significant difference in AOR between Group G and H. Although there was no significance in the AOC for the Day 6 treatment group, the last three timepoints weight loss was significantly less than the negative control group. Interestingly, groups administered antibody on Days 3, 4, 5, or 6 started to gain weight starting on Day 9 whereas the negative control antibody treated animals did not. This suggests that there was a benefit of all cocktail treatment even at as late as 6 days post-exposure.

Infectious virus in lungs (Day 14/15). In wild type hamsters, virus is typically cleared by Day 7. However, in the cyclophosphamide model virus is not suppressed unless there is intervention (e.g. protective antibodies administered) or the cyclophosphamide is discontinued to allow immune response and clearance. Here, our controls demonstrate that unexposed hamsters were negative for virus (Cyp Cont), whereas all hamsters exposed to virus and treated with an off-target monoclonal antibody (Neg Cont) had more than 10,000 pfu of virus per gram of lung tissue. Most of the hamsters treated with the Cocktail one day prior or one day post virus exposure had detectable levels of virus in lung samples collected on Day 14 (Groups A and B). However, almost all of the hamsters treated with antibody ≥2 day after exposure had undetectable levels of antibody in their lungs. There was only a single animal exception in the Day 2, 3, 4 and 6 treated groups. All of the hamsters treated on Day 5 had lungs that were free of infectious virus. See FIG. 24C.

Sequential Sampling. Hamsters immunosuppressed and exposed to virus on Day 0 were sampled overtime to monitor the infection. Infectious virus was detected in the lungs of 3 of 4 hamsters on Day 1. Levels of infectious virus then increased more than 4 logs by Day 2. Levels of virus then leveled off and stayed between 7-9 log 10 through the last sampling timepoint (Day 6) analyzed to-date. Thus, animals administered the cocktail after Day 1 likely had very high levels of infectious virus present in their lungs before treatment with the antibody. See FIG. 24D.

CONCLUSION

The data demonstrates that when administered at or before Day 2 relative to virus exposure, the combination of antibody and nanobody at 20 mg/kg was sufficient to provide convincing benefit as determined by the disease parameters analyzed. When treated after Day 2, animals still developed weight loss but recovered in approximately 4 days. Two weeks after virus exposure, more infectious virus was detected in the lungs of hamsters receiving antibody early (Day −1 or 1) than day 2 or later. Day 2 (or later) treatment of exposed animals occurred at a time when viral burden in the lungs was already remarkably high. CYP, by itself, does not induce weight loss or clinical signs of disease.

Example 12. Immunity Conferred by SARS-CoV-2 and ACE2 Antibodies

Antibodies described in Examples 4-6 are used to confer immunity in a subject. A subject is passively immunized with a SARS-CoV-2 or ACE2 antibody. The subject is then exposed to SARS-CoV-2 after immunization with the SARS-CoV-2 or ACE2 antibody. Exposure can be within a few days or within a few months. The subject can also receive the SARS-CoV-2 or ACE2 antibody immediately following exposure with SARS-CoV-2. Although the subject is exposed to SARS-CoV-2, the subject has developed an immunity against SARS-CoV-2 and infection is prevented.
