Title: EPITOPE-BASED SARS VACCINE
Abstract: This invention provides a vaccine for the infectious severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), which comprises antigenic epitopes from the pathogenic coronavirus. The antigenic epitopes were determined from the complementary antibodies in the plasma of convalescent SARS patients through phage display epitope mapping. These immunodominants consit of short peptide fragments distributed on various viral proteins, which includes, the spike protein, the nucleocapsid protein, the replicase 1a, and the unknown proteins 3a and 9b. Complementary antibodies targeting the immunodominant site on the spike protein effectively neutralize the coronavirus in vitro. This epitope-based vaccine avoids potential immunopathologic effects found in vaccines for other human or animal diseases since the epitopes induced safe and benificial humoral antibodies in convalescent SARS patients.
