Isolation and characterization of single domain antibodies from banded houndshark (Triakis scyllium) targeting SARS-CoV-2 spike RBD protein

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on human health for three years. To combat the spread of the virus, researchers have accelerated the development of neutralizing antibodies, including exploring alternative formats such as single-domain antibodies. In this study, researchers identified variable new antigen receptors (VNARs) in a banded houndshark that showed high binding affinities and neutralizing activity against SARS-CoV-2. This suggests that banded houndsharks could be a potential animal model for developing VNAR-based therapeutics or diagnostics for future pandemics.

VNAR development through antigen immunization of Japanese topeshark (Hemitriakis japanica)

Hiroyuki Takeda et al.

Summary: This study investigated the use of the Japanese topeshark as an immune animal for the development of VNAR antibodies. By injecting Venus fluorescent protein into the sharks, the levels of antigen-specific IgM and IgNAR antibodies in the blood were significantly increased. Phage-display and yeast-display libraries were constructed using RNA from immunized shark splenocytes, and multiple antigen-specific VNAR antibodies were obtained. These antibodies exhibited high affinity and plasticity, and retained their binding activity even after high-temperature or reducing-agent treatment. Deep sequencing analysis revealed distinct enrichment bias in the CDR3-coding sequences between libraries. Overall, the Japanese topeshark shows promise for the development of VNAR antibodies.
