Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed herein is a composition including a recombinant nucleic acid sequence that encodes an antibody to a Middle East Respiratory Syncytial Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) viral antigen. Also disclosed herein is a method of generating a synthetic antibody in a subject by administering the composition to the subject. The disclosure also provides a method of preventing and/or treating an MERS-CoV virus infection in a subject using said composition and method of generation.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A nucleic acid molecule encoding one or more synthetic antibodies, wherein the nucleic acid molecule comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of: a) a nucleotide sequence encoding an anti-Middle East Respiratory Syncytial Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) synthetic antibody comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2; and b) a nucleotide sequence encoding a fragment of an anti-MERS-CoV synthetic antibody comprising at least one selected from an anti-MERS dMAB heavy chain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:5 and an anti-MERS dMAB light chain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:7. 2. The nucleic acid molecule of claim 1 , wherein the one or more synthetic antibodies binds to a MERS-CoV antigen. 3. The nucleic acid molecule of claim 1 , further comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a cleavage domain. 4. The nucleic acid molecule of claim 1 , comprising a nucleotide sequence at least 90% identical to at least one nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:3, SEQ ID NO:4 and SEQ ID NO:6. 5. The nucleic acid molecule of claim 1 , wherein the nucleotide sequence encodes a leader sequence. 6. The nucleic acid molecule of claim 1 , wherein the nucleic acid molecule comprises an expression vector. 7. A composition comprising the nucleic acid molecule of claim 6 . 8. A composition comprising the nucleic acid molecule of claim 6 , further comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.
