Recombinant Human Antibody (D25) is capable of binding to RSV, expressed in HEK 293 cells. Expressed as the combination of a heavy chain (HC) containing VH from anti-RSV mAb and CH1-3 region of human IgG1 and a light chain (LC) encoding VL from anti-RSV mAb and CL of human kappa light chain. Exists as a disulfide linked dimer of the HC and LC hetero-dimer under non-reducing condition.
Figure 1 Internalization of Fab fragments.
RSV-infected HEp-2 cells were incubated with RSV F-specific MAbs D25, AM14, 5C4, and MPE8 or corresponding monomeric Fab fragments at the same concentration for 90 min to induce internalization. Afterwards the cells were fixed, permeabilized, and stained with AF488 human anti-goat IgG or AF488 chicken anti-mouse IgG (green). Nuclei were visualized with DAPI (blue). The amount of internalized vesicles was quantified in 50 positive cells.

Figure 2 N426D disrupts binding of AM14 to prefusion F. Relative binding of D25, 101F, MPE8 and AM14 to cell surface-expressed prefusion F (grey) or prefusion F containing the AM14 escape mutation, N426D (white) was measured by flow cytometry. Data were normalized to motavizumab binding. Binding of D25, 101F and MPE8 to N426D was comparable to wild-type prefusion F, whereas AM14 binding to N426D was reduced four-fold.

Tang, Wei, et al. "Mechanism of cross-resistance to fusion inhibitors conferred by the K394R mutation in respiratory syncytial virus fusion protein." Journal of Virology 95.20 (2021): 10-1128.
This study investigates the mechanism of cross-resistance to fusion inhibitors conferred by the K394R mutation in the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) fusion protein. The researchers employed a dual-luciferase protocol to discover LF-6, a small-molecule inhibitor that targets the RSV fusion glycoprotein. They found that the K394R mutation not only conferred resistance to LF-6 but also to other RSV fusion inhibitors, including those in clinical development. This mutation destabilizes the F protein and enhances its membrane fusion activity, increasing viral resistance. The study highlights the need for alternative strategies to combat RSV infections, given the resistance risks posed by the K394R mutation.
In this research, Creative Biolabs provided crucial reagents that facilitated the experiments. Specifically, the D25 monoclonal antibody (Cat# PABL-322) and Motavizumab (Cat# TAB-709) were used for detecting RSV F protein in various assays, including the immunofluorescence and cell-surface triggering assays. These antibodies were essential for accurately identifying the effects of mutations on the RSV F protein and assessing the resistance mechanisms. The products from Creative Biolabs significantly contributed to the detailed analysis and validation of the findings related to the K394R mutation and its impact on RSV fusion inhibitor resistance.

This study focused on the development and evaluation of an RSV F nanoparticle vaccine targeting human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which is a major cause of severe respiratory infections in various vulnerable populations, including newborns and the elderly. The RSV F nanoparticle vaccine was designed to induce a broad polyclonal antibody response against multiple neutralizing epitopes on the fusion (F) protein of RSV. These antibodies were shown to neutralize both wild-type RSV and palivizumab-resistant mutant strains in animal models, particularly in cotton rats. The vaccine's efficacy was enhanced with the use of an aluminum phosphate adjuvant, which significantly increased the antibody avidity and protection against RSV challenges.
Creative Biolabs contributed to this study by providing the monoclonal antibody D25 (Cat#: PABL-322), which was used for competitive binding assays to characterize the antibody responses elicited by the RSV F nanoparticle vaccine. The D25 antibody specifically targets antigenic site Ø on the pre-fusion F conformation of the RSV F protein. The inclusion of this antibody was crucial for demonstrating that the vaccine-induced antibodies could bind to conserved epitopes on both pre-fusion and post-fusion F conformations, supporting the vaccine's potential to provide broad protection against RSV.
