New in vivo study data!

Twist recently conducted pre-clinical studies aimed at understanding the protective nature of our antibody leads in vivo against COVID-19. The data show that TB202-3 and TB202-63, both single-domain VHH “nanobodies” protect against weight loss at the lowest dose of 1 mg/kg in preclinical hamster challenge models. In addition, TB181-36, an IgG antibody discovered through Twist’s collaboration with Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC), was found to protect against weight loss at 5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg.

Twist Biopharma COVID Antibodies Program

Twist Biopharma has developed a set of antibodies that targets the SARS-CoV-2 Spike
Protein with high binding affinity and specificity.  Several antibodies also show the ability to
block S1 binding to ACE2.

We have also developed a set of antibodies targeting the extracellular domain of the ACE2
receptor. These antibodies have high binding affinity and have been demonstrated to inhibit
the binding of the S1 protein to ACE2 in vitro.  

All antibodies are fully human and are either hIgG1, IgG2, or IgG1 VHH Fc making them ideal
as potential candidates for both diagnostic and therapeutic uses.

Twist Anti-SARS-CoV-2 S1 Antibodies

Twist Biopharma’s human antibodies that target the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein have a potential dual-purpose and could be developed either for virus neutralization or detection in therapeutic and diagnostic applications, respectively.

 

Binding curves of the antibody clones to SARS-CoV-2 S1 monomer and trimer
 

Affinity data for individual antibody clones binding of SARS-CoV-2 Spike Glycoprotein S1 or S1 trimer protein. Each clone is indicated with a different color (see legend).


Competition assay
 

The S1 antibodies were tested in a cell-based S1-ACE2 competition assay to determine if they showed the ability to block the binding of labeled S1 protein to cells expressing the ACE2 receptor. As shown in the figure below, several antibodies block labeled S1 RBD from binding to ACE2 on the Vero cells: TB182-03, TB182-04, TB182-06, TB182-13 and TB181-63

Twist Human Anti-ACE2 Antibodies

The human anti-ACE2 receptor antibodies exhibit high affinity to the ACE2 receptor indicating that they have the potential to be developed as blocking or competitive antibodies for therapeutic applications.

Kinetic Data
 

The anti-ACE2 antibodies exhibit very high specificity and affinity to their antigen targets with affinities in the picomolar to nanomolar range. The table below lists Fc-capture and direct capture (DC) data from this assay.

 


Cell Binding Data
 

The entire panel shows varying degrees of specific binding to VERO E6 cells as shown in the table below, and an example of the flow cytometry data for a single clone is also shown. S1 Fc fusion protein and S1 RBD Fc fusion (expressed in-house) were added as positive controls for ACE2 binding.


Competition Assay
 

To assess each antibody clone’s ability to interfere with the binding of the S1 protein to ACE2, serial dilutions of ACE2 were added to biotinylated ACE2 protein. The mixture was then added to SARS-CoV-2 S protein RBD immobilized on an ELISA plate and detected with streptavidin-HRP. Background was subtracted from data points prior to log transformation and curve fitting. IC50 values for all antibody clones are presented in the table.
