When the new coronavirus infects a cell, the spike protein on the surface of the virus binds to ACE2 on the cell surface. Drugs that block this binding will prevent viral infection.
- ACE2 extracellular domain
- SARS-CoV-2 spike protein RBD/rabbit Fc tag
- Biotinylated SARS-CoV-2 spike protein RBD and rabbit Fc tag
- Neutralizing antibodies
We have also started selling a monoclonal antibody ( anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike protein monoclonal antibody (mouse)
) that is specific and has high affinity to the receptor binding domain of the spike protein S1 domain . This is a neutralizing antibody that inhibits the binding of the receptor binding domain to ACE2.
- We also offer mutant strains.
SARS-CoV-2 spike protein RBD/rabbit Fc tag
Biotinylated SARS-CoV-2 spike protein RBD and rabbit Fc tag
Background
Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), also known as ACE homolog, is an integral membrane protein that is highly homologous to ACE. ACE2 was known as one of the factors that work in the renin-angiotensin system, which is involved in blood pressure regulation. Recently, it has been revealed that when the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 infects human cells, it binds to ACE2 present in the cell membrane and is then taken into the cell, and ACE2 is also thought to be a receptor for the novel coronavirus. (1) A highly sensitive binding assay is provided by immobilizing
human ACE2 protein with His tag (product number: HAK-ACE2_UL-1) on a 96-well plate and adding SARS-CoV-2 spike protein RBD with rabbit Fc tag (product number: HAK-SPD_UL-1) or biotinylated SARS-CoV-2 spike protein RBD with rabbit Fc tag (product number: HAK-SPD_bio-1), which is a fusion protein in which the receptor binding domain of the viral protein is bound to rabbit Fc, and detecting with an HRP-labeled secondary antibody or streptavidin.
Neutralizing antibodies
Using a unique antibody screening method using exosomes expressing the full-length spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, we obtained a monoclonal antibody that inhibits the binding of the spike protein to ACE2. Furthermore, we determined the structure of the variable region, and expressed and purified a chimeric antibody with the human constant region (IgG1) in animal cells. Both antibodies showed strong binding inhibitory activity using binding assay reagents.

Usage Example
- Inhibition of binding between spike protein and ACE2
- Biotin-labeled receptor binding domain protein diluted to 500ng/mL and anti-SARS-CoV-2 virus spike protein antibody (this product) (3.1, 9.1, 27.4, 82.3, 247, 741, 2222, 6667, 20000ng/mL) as a binding inhibitor were added to a 96-well microplate with ACE2 protein immobilized, and the reaction was allowed to proceed for 2 hours at room temperature. As a comparison antibody, a commercially available anti-SARS-CoV-2 virus spike protein monoclonal antibody from another company was used.
After reaction with each antibody, the plate was washed, and HRP-labeled streptavidin and a color-developing substrate were added and reacted. After adding a stop solution, the absorbance of each well was measured. As a result, both antibodies inhibited the binding of the spike protein receptor-binding domain to ACE2, but the IC50 values of this product and the competitor's antibody were 23.6 ng/mL and 1270 ng/mL, respectively, demonstrating that the inhibitory activity of this product was 53.8 times stronger than that of the competitor's antibody (Figure 8).
