Rationally designed multimeric nanovaccines using icosahedral DNA origami for display of SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain

Abstract Multivalent antigen display on nanoparticles can enhance the immunogenicity of nanovaccines targeting viral moieties, such as the receptor binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2. However, particle morphology and size of current nanovaccines are significantly different from those of SARS-CoV-2....

description Abstract Multivalent antigen display on nanoparticles can enhance the immunogenicity of nanovaccines targeting viral moieties, such as the receptor binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2. However, particle morphology and size of current nanovaccines are significantly different from those of SARS-CoV-2. Additionally, surface antigen patterns are not controllable to enable the optimization of B cell activation. Herein, we employ an icosahedral DNA origami (ICO) as a display particle for RBD nanovaccines, achieving morphology and diameter like the virus (91 ± 11 nm). The surface addressability of DNA origami permits facile modification of the ICO surface with numerous RBD antigen clusters (ICO-RBD) to form various antigen patterns. Using an in vitro screening system, we demonstrate that the antigen spacing, antigen copies within clusters and cluster number parameters of the surface antigen pattern all impact the ability of the nanovaccines to activate B cells. Importantly, the optimized ICO-RBD nanovaccines evoke stronger and more enduring humoral and T cell immune responses in female mouse models compared to soluble RBD antigens, and the multivalent display broaden the protection range of B cell responses to more mutant strains. Our vaccines activate similar humoral immunity, observable stronger cellular immunity and more memory immune cells compared to trimeric mRNA vaccines.
