Production and Purification of Filovirus Glycoproteins

Abstract

Ebola (EBOV) and Marburg (MARV) viruses cause hemorrhagic fever disease in humans and non-human primates (NHPs) with case-fatality rates as high as 90%. The 2013-2016 Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak led to over 28,000 cases and 11,000 deaths and took an enormous toll on the economy of West African nations, in the absence of any vaccine or therapeutic options. Like EVD, there have been at least 6 outbreaks of MVD with ~88% case-fatality and the most recent cases emerging in Equatorial Guinea in February 2023. These outbreaks have spurred an unprecedented global effort to develop vaccines and therapeutics for EVD and MVD and led to an approved vaccine (ERVEBO™) and two monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapeutics for EBOV. In contrast to EVD, therapeutic options against Marburg and another Ebola-relative Sudan virus (SUDV) are lacking. The filovirus glycoprotein (GP), which mediates host cell entry and fusion, is the primary target of neutralizing antibodies. In addition to its pre- and post-fusion trimeric states, the protein is highly glycosylated making production of pure and homogeneous trimers on a large scale, a requirement for subunit vaccine development, a challenge. In efforts to address this roadblock, we have developed a unique combination of structure-based design, selection of expression system, and purification methods to produce uniform and stable EBOV and MARV GP trimers at scales appropriate for vaccine production.
