As SARS–CoV–2 is a lethal airborne virus, it must be handled in high-containment Biosafety Level 3 (BSL–3) laboratories that require strict airflow, ventilation and decontamination procedures. The pseudotyping plasmids of this invention provide a secure platform for exploring SARS–CoV–2 dynamics without the need for high-risk handling of live virus and ensure a controlled environment for scientists to study SARS–CoV–2 more expeditiously in standard Biosafety Level 2 (BSL–2) laboratories. The plasmids can be used for diverse SARS– CoV–2 research applications, including the study of newly emerging or potential future variants of interest. This technology is available for licensing for commercial development in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR part 404, as well as for further development and evaluation under a research collaboration. National Institutes of Health Potential Commercial Applications • Research material that can be used in the development of neutralization assays National Institutes of Health 15599 Competitive Advantages • Expedite SARS–CoV–2 related experiments by enabling them to be conducted in laboratories with a lower Biosafety Level (BSL–2) than that required for handling SARS–CoV–2 (BSL–3) Development Stage • Research material.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Technology description follows: SUMMARY: SARS–CoV–2 Spike Fused to Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Description of Technology: The emergence of the SARS–CoV–2 virus and its immune-escaping variants have led to global COVID–19 pandemic/ endemic, underscoring the urgent need for effective vaccines with strong and durable immune responses. Researchers at the Vaccine Research Center (VRC) of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) used a novel approach to SARS–CoV–2 vaccine development by leveraging hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), which has a proven track record of safety and efficacy in hepatitis B vaccines. They designed fusion protein constructs comprised of HBsAg linked by a series of glycine-serine residues to the prefusion stabilized spike protein of SARS–CoV–2. These constructs can selfassemble into nanoparticles in mammalian cells and bind monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that are specific to different domains of the SARS–CoV–2 spike. The nanoparticles elicit potent and durable immune responses including neutralizing antibody E:\FR\FM\04MRN1.SGM 04MRN1
