Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has developed into a global pandemic since its first outbreak in the winter of 2019. An extensive investigation of SARS-CoV-2 is critical for disease control. Various recombinant monoclonal antibodies of human origin that neutralize SARS-CoV-2 infection have been isolated from convalescent patients and will be applied as therapies and prophylaxis. However, the need for dedicated monoclonal antibodies suitable for molecular pathology research is not fully addressed. Here, we produced six mouse anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike monoclonal antibodies that not only exhibit robust performance in immunoassays including western blotting, ELISA, immunofluorescence, and immunoprecipitation, but also demonstrate neutralizing activity against SARS-CoV-2 infection to VeroE6/TMPRSS2 cells. Due to their mouse origin, our monoclonal antibodies are compatible with the experimental immunoassay setups commonly used in basic molecular biology research laboratories, providing a useful tool for future research. Furthermore, in the hope of applying the antibodies of clinical setting, we determined the variable regions of the antibodies and used them to produce recombinant human/mouse chimeric antibodies.

The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a threat to global public health and economic development (1Li Q. Guan X.

Vaccine and therapeutic discovery efforts are paramount to restrict the spread of the virus. Passive immunization could have a major effect on controlling the virus pandemic by providing immediate protection, complementing the development of prophylactic vaccines (3Walker L.M. Burton D.R.

With the development of humanized mouse antibodies and subsequent generation of fully human antibodies by various techniques, monoclonal antibodies have become widely used in therapy and prophylaxis for cancer, autoimmune diseases, and viral pathogens (3Walker L.M. Burton D.R. Passive immunotherapy of viral infections: ‘super-antibodies’ enter the fray.Nat. Rev. Immunol. 2018; 18: 297-308Crossref PubMed Scopus (188) Google Scholar). Indeed, a humanized mouse monoclonal antibody neutralizing respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), palivizumab, is widely used in clinical settings prophylactically to protect vulnerable infants (6Connor E.M. Palivizumab, a humanized respiratory syncytial virus monoclonal antibody, reduces hospitalization from respiratory syncytial virus infection in hieh-risk infants.

In recent years, highly specific and often broadly active neutralizing monoclonal antibodies have been developed against several viruses (3Walker L.M. Burton D.R.

Chen E.C. et al.Potently neutralizing and protective human antibodies against SARS-CoV-2.Nature. 2020; 584: 443-449Crossref PubMed Scopus (654) Google Scholar). These antibodies can avoid the potential risks of human–anti-mouse antibody responses and other side effects (30Hansel T.T. Kropshofer H. Singer T. Mitchell J.A. George A.J. The safety and side effects of monoclonal antibodies.Nat. Rev. Drug Discov. 2010; 9: 325-338Crossref PubMed Scopus (751) Google Scholar). However, since they are recombinant human antibodies produced in HEK293 cell lines derived from human embryonic kidney, they have a disadvantage compared with conventional hybridoma-produced antibodies in terms of their lot-to-lot quality control and manufacturing costs (31Cohen J. The race is on for antibodies that stop the new coronavirus.Science. 2020; 368: 564-565Crossref PubMed Scopus (11) Google Scholar). Instead, monoclonal antibodies produced by hybridomas are secreted into the culture supernatant, thus their production is straightforward and of low cost, and their quality is stable. In addition to the impact of monoclonal antibodies on therapy and prophylaxis, they significantly impact the characterization of SARS-CoV-2. To overcome the long-term battle with the virus, we need a detailed understanding of the replication mechanisms underlying its life cycle, including viral entry, genome replication, budding from the cellular membrane, and interaction with host immune systems. These essential pieces of information are required for drug discovery, vaccine design, and therapy development. Despite the large number of neutralizing antibodies reported to inhibit infection, there is an overwhelming lack of data on a well-characterized antibody available for basic research techniques such as western blotting (WB), immunofluorescence, and immunoprecipitation to study the viral life cycle. Here, we established six monoclonal antibodies against the spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2. The trimeric spike glycoproteins of SARS-CoV-2 play a pivotal role in viral entry into human target cells the enzyme 2 as M. H. S. N. T. S. G. Wu A. M.A. C. S.
