We tested the efficacy of coronavirus like particles VLPs for protecting mice against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus SCoV infection Coexpression of SCoV S protein and E M and N proteins of mouse hepatitis virus in 293T or CHO cells resulted in the efficient production of chimeric VLPs carrying SCoV S protein Balb c mice inoculated with a mixture of chimeric VLPs and alum twice at an interval of four weeks were protected from SCoV challenge as indicated by the absence of infectious virus in the lungs The same groups of mice had high levels of SCoV specific neutralizing antibodies while mice in the negative control groups which were not immunized with chimeric VLPs failed to manifest neutralizing antibodies suggesting that SCoV specific neutralizing antibodies are important for the suppres sion of viral replication within the lungs Despite some differences in the cellular composition of inflammatory infiltrates we did not observe any overt lung pathology in the chimeric VLP treated mice when compared to the negative control mice Our results show that chimeric VLP can be an effective vaccine strategy against SCoV infection 2007 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved

high It is not known if the virus will be reintroduced into the human population but ancestral coro naviruses are widely distributed in bats and are thought to have adapted to civets and then to

coronavirus antibodies recognize S protein 1 13 itisnot that most of the current SCoV vaccine candidates either the S protein subunit itself or those carrying S 14 19 Furthermore prophylactic administration monoclonal antibodies directed at the SCoV S protein pro animals against subsequent SCoV challenge 20 23 studies point out that neutralizing antibodies that rec SCoV S protein are sufficient to prevent or decrease morbidity and mortality associated with SCoV infec by primarily suppressing replication of the challenge Coronavirus like particles VLPs are produced from the coexpressing the S M and E proteins 24 expres of the latter two proteins are sufficient for VLP 24 M protein plays a central role in virus while S protein is assembled into coronavirus through S protein M protein interaction 25 28 interactions of the M protein with the RNA pack signal of the viral RNA 29 and with N protein drive incorporation of the helical nucleocapsid which consists of the viral genome and N pro into virus particles Vaccinia virus and or alphavirus have been used to express coronavirus proteins enable generation of VLPs 33 35 while we have production of SCoV VLPs from 293T cells that are with four eukaryotic pCAGGS based expres plasmids each of which encodes SCoV S M N and proteins 36 Others have also reported production of VLP from insect cells 37 38 and mammalian cells During our studies of coronavirus assembly we found efficient production of chimeric VLPs carrying SCoV S and murine coronavirus mouse hepatitis virus or M N and E proteins from cells

alone or they left untreated Mice were inoculated on day 0 and as in the body of the paper a second injection was on day 28 in most experiments SCoV was inoculated into the nares of mice 40H9262l that were lightly anes with isoflurane IsoFlo Abbott Laboratories North IL Mice that were inoculated with 1 10 6 TCID 50 SCoV at day 0 to provide post infection immunity did not a second inoculation In most of our experiments mice were challenged by intranasal i n inoc of 1 10 6 TCID 50 of SCoV at day 56 and they were at day 58 while in some experiments mice were with SCoV at day 28 and they were euthanized day 30 Day 2 post inoculation was chosen because of that peak titer occurs at that time 23 and this was in our laboratory itration of SCoV specific neutralizing antibodies were anesthetized with isoflurane and then bled from retro orbital sinus plexus After heat inactivation at C for 30min sera were stored at 4 C The assay for virus neutralizing antibodies was performed on serial diluted samples of each serum beginning at a dilution 1 5 using 2 FBS DMEM as the diluent in 96 well tissue plates Falcon 3072 the final volume of the serially samples in each well was 60H9262l After addition of TCID 50 of SCoV in 60H9262l into each well the samples were for 45 60min at room temperature Then 100H9262l these mixtures containing 100 TCID 50 of SCoV were trans into duplicate wells of confluent Vero E6 cells grown 96 well microtiter plates After 72h incubation when the control wells exhibited advanced virus induced CPE neutralizing capacity of individual serum samples was by determining the presence or absence of virus CPE SCoV specific neutralizing antibody titers were as the reciprocal of the last dilution of serum that inhibited virus induced CPE of lungs histology and virus titration wo days post SCoV challenge mice were euthanized and lungs were removed Lung lobes including right mid lobe right lower lobe accessory lobe and left lobe were and placed in 10 buffered formalin for subse histological examination and immunohistochemistry as described previously 41 For virus titration the lobes of the lungs were weighed and frozen at 80 C before being homogenized in PBS 10 FBS solution 800 K G Lokugamage et al using the TissueLyser Qiagen Retsch Haan Germany The homogenates were then centrifuged and SCoV titers in the clarified fluid were determined in a TCID 50

Serum neutralizing antibody titers and lung SCoV titers in the mice immunized once with chimeric VLPs For assessing the usefulness of chimeric VLPs as a SCoV vac cine candidate we first tested the effects of immunization of mice with chimeric VLPs on serum neutralizing antibody production and inhibition of SCoV replication in the lung Six to 8 week old female Balb c mice were inoculated i m once with a mixture of 2H9262g of chimeric VLPs prepared from 293T staining for evaluating histopathology and detecting antigen respectively 41 analysis using a statistical program Instat version 3

value of 1 8 the minimal detection limit being log 10 g lung and undetectable virus specific neutralizing were assigned a value of 10 and characterization of chimeric VLPs e have previously reported the successful production of VLPs from 293T cells cotransfected with four pCAGGS plasmids each of which encodes SCoV S M N or E 36 without using exogenous viruses for protein In the study reported here we varied the amount each plasmid for cotransfection and were able to gener approximately 1 3H9262g of SCoV VLPs from 2 10 7 293T Colloidal Coomassie blue staining and Western blot identified SCoV S N and M proteins in the purified VLPs Fig 1A Likewise transfection of four pCAGGS plasmids each of which encoded MHV S E M or N resulted in production of MHV VLPs Fig 1A After we obtained approximately 22 3H9262g of purified VLPs from 2 10 7 293T cells demonstrating that the of MHV VLP production was substantially better that of SCoV VLP production Because M and E pro drive VLP assembly and release 24 and coronavirus protein is incorporated into VLPs through M S interaction these data indicated that MHV M and E pro resulted in more efficient VLP production than did SCoV and E proteins We next tested whether coexpression of SCoV S protein MHV E N and M protein could result in the effi production of chimeric VLPs which would contain high of the SCoV S protein If SCoV S protein with MHV M protein then the robust VLP pro machinery driven by MHV M and E proteins could in efficient chimeric VLP production Chimeric VLP indeed occurred from 293T cells that were with plasmids each of which expressed SCoV protein MHV N protein MHV M protein or MHV E pro Fig 1A Colloidal Coomassie blue staining and Western analysis of purified chimeric VLP showed the presence SCoV S
