  • PubMed Abstract: 

    The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has led to over 750 million infections and 6.8 million deaths worldwide since late 2019. Due to the continuous evolution of SARS-CoV-2, many significant variants have emerged, creating ongoing challenges to the prevention and treatment of the pandemic. Therefore, the study of antibody responses against SARS-CoV-2 is essential for the development of vaccines and therapeutics. Here we perform single particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure determination of a rabbit monoclonal antibody (RmAb) 9H1 in complex with the SARS-CoV-2 wild-type (WT) spike trimer. Our structural analysis shows that 9H1 interacts with the receptor-binding motif (RBM) region of the receptor-binding domain (RBD) on the spike protein and by directly competing with angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), it blocks the binding of the virus to the receptor and achieves neutralization. Our findings suggest that utilizing rabbit-derived mAbs provides valuable insights into the molecular interactions between neutralizing antibodies and spike proteins and may also facilitate the development of therapeutic antibodies and expand the antibody library.
