    Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is responsible for the current public health crisis with devastating consequences to our societies. This COVID-19 pandemic has become the most serious threat to global public health in recent history. Given the unprecedented economic and social impact that it is causing, identification of immunodominant epitopes from SARS-CoV-2 is of great interest, not only to gain better insight into the adaptive immune response, but also for the development of vaccines, treatments and diagnostic tools. In this review, we summarize the already published or preprinted reports on the experimental identification of B-cell linear epitopes of SARS-CoV-2 proteins. Six different epitopes leading to neutralizing antibodies have been identified. Moreover, a summary of peptide candidates to be used for diagnostic tools is also included.

    Abstract The early phase of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic was exacerbated by a diagnostic challenge of unprecedented magnitude. In the absence of effective therapeutics or vaccines, breaking the chain of transmission through early disease detection and patient isolation was the only means to control the growing pandemic. While polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods and rapid-antigen tests rose to the occasion, the analytical challenge of rapid and sequence-specific nucleic acid-sensing at a point-of-care or home setting stimulated intense developments. Herein we report a method that combines recombinase polymerase amplification and a DNA-templated reaction to achieve a dual readout with either fluorescence (microtiter plate) or naked eye (lateral flow assay: LFA) detection. The nucleic acid templated reaction is based on an S

    Abstract Common inflammatory disorders such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are non-invasively diagnosed or monitored by the biomarker calprotectin. However, current quantitative tests for calprotectin are antibody-based and vary depending on the type of antibody and assay used. Additionally, the binding epitopes of applied antibodies are not characterized by structures and for most antibodies it is unclear if they detect calprotectin dimer, tetramer, or both. Herein, we develop calprotectin ligands based on peptides, that offer advantages such as homogenous chemical composition, heat-stability, site-directed immobilization, and chemical synthesis at high purity and at low cost. By screening a 100-billion peptide phage display library against calprotectin, we identified a high-affinity peptide (K

    Abstract DNA-encoded library technologies enable the screening of synthetic molecules but have thus far not tapped into the power of Darwinian selection with iterative cycles of selection, amplification and diversification. Here we report a simple strategy to rapidly assemble libraries of conformationally constrained peptides that are paired in a combinatorial fashion (suprabodies). We demonstrate that the pairing can be shuffled after each amplification cycle in a process similar to DNA shuffling or mating to regenerate diversity. Using simulations, we show the benefits of this recombination in yielding a more accurate correlation of selection fitness with affinity after multiple rounds of selection, particularly if the starting library is heterogeneous in the concentration of its members. The method was validated with selections against streptavidin and applied to the discovery of PD-L1 binders. We further demonstrate that the binding of self-assembled suprabodies can be recapitulated by smaller (∼7 kDa) synthetic products that maintain the conformational constraint of the peptides.

    Abstract Selections from dynamic combinatorial libraries (DCL) benefit from the dynamic nature of the library that can change constitution upon addition of a selection pressure, such as ligands binding to a protein. This technology has been predominantly used with small molecules interacting with each other through reversible covalent interaction. However, application of this technology in biomedical research and drug discovery has been limited by the reversibility of covalent exchange and the analytical deconvolution of small molecule fragments. Here we report a supramolecular approach based on the use of a constant short PNA tag to direct the combinatorial pairing of fragment. This PNA tag yields fast exchange kinetics, while still delivering the benefits of cooperativity, and provides favourable properties for analytical deconvolution by MALDI. A selection from >6,000 assemblies of glycans (mono-, di-, tri-saccharides) targeting AFL, a lectin from pathogenic fungus, yielded a 95 nM assembly, nearly three orders of magnitude better in affinity than the corresponding glycan alone (41 µM).

    Abstract A novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is the source of a current pandemic (COVID-19) with devastating consequences in public health and economic stability. Using a peptide array to map the antibody response of plasma from healing patients (12) and heathy patients (6), we identified three immunodominant linear epitopes, two of which correspond to key proteolytic sites on the spike protein (S1/S2 and S2') known to be critical for cellular entry. We show biochemical evidence that plasma positive for the epitope adjacent to the S1/S2 cleavage site inhibits furin-mediated proteolysis of spike.
