Sea lamprey larvae (8–15 cm, 2–4 years of age) were collected from tributaries to Lake Michigan (Lamprey services, Michigan) and housed in sand-lined aquariums at 20°C. Larvae anesthetized with 0.1 g/l MS222 (Sigma) were given intracoelomic injections of antigens or mitogens (25 µg phytohemaglutinin (PHA)-L (Sigma)) prepared in 60 µl of sterile 0.67X PBS. Injections were administered on days 0 and 14, and tissues collected from lampreys euthanized with 1 g/l MS222 on day 28 (unless otherwise indicated). Blood was collected in 30 mM EDTA/0.67X PBS. Buffy coat leukocytes were separated from red blood cells by centrifugation at 50×g. Leukocytes were isolated from kidney, typhlosole, and gills by disrupting tissues between frosted glass slides.
For VLRA antibody production, four VLRA cDNAs isolated from lamprey lymphocytes were cloned in-frame with the constant region of human IgG1 (IgG1-Fc). The VLRA-IgG1-Fc fusion proteins were expressed in HEK-293T cells and purified from tissue culture supernatants by protein A (GE Healthcare) chromatography. Monoclonal anti-VLRA antibodies were produced by immunization of BALB/c mice with VLRA-IgG1-Fc proteins emulsified in TiterMax Gold adjuvant. Lymphocytes from the draining lymph nodes of immunized mice were fused with the Ag8.653 myeloma cell line using PEG-1500 (Roche). Three VLRA-specific hybridoma clones (9A6 (IgG1), 9B3 (IgG1) and 2A5 (IgG1)) were identified by ELISA with VLRA recombinant protein and immunoblotting of VLRA transfectants. Anti-VLRA polyclonal antisera were produced by immunization of rabbits with the VLRA-IgG1-Fc proteins (PickCell Laboratories BV, Netherlands).

The five peptides used in this study, HIV-10 (RGPGRAFVTI), SSI (SSIEFARL), SEI (SEIEFARL), TWH (TWHRYHLL), and TAY (TAYRYHLL), were synthesized by the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Microchemistry Core Facility, and were HPLC purified to >98% purity. Peptide immunization using the synthetic immune adjuvant TiterMax (CytRx Inc., Norcross, GA), referred to as pep/TM in the text, CTL restimulation, and 51Cr-release assays were performed as previously described (19 (link)). In brief, mice were immunized in the footpad with 10 μl of the pep/TM emulsion (mixed according to the manufacturer's instructions) containing 5 μg of the indicated peptide. 7 d later, spleen cells from the immunized mice were restimulated in vitro with syngeneic, irradiated (30 Gy), peptide-coated (1 μg/ml, 2 ml/spleen, 1 h at 37°C followed by three washes) cells. 5 d later, cytolytic activity was assessed in a standard 51Cr-release assay. Genetic immunization using DNA-coated gold particles was performed exactly as previously described using a gene gun provided by Powderject, Inc. (Middleton, WI) (20 (link)). 100 μg of DNA from the plasmids described in the previous section was mixed with 0.95–2.6-μm diameter gold particles, in the presence of 0.05–0.1 μM spermidine. CaCl2 (1.5 mM) was added in a dropwise fashion to this mixture during vortexing. After precipitation, the gold plasmid DNA complex was washed three times in 100% ethanol and 7 ml of ethanol was added to achieve a bead-loading rate of 0.5 mg of gold to 1.0 μg plasmid DNA per injection. This solution was instilled into plastic Tefzel tubing, the ethanol was gently drawn off, and the tube was purged under nitrogen gas at 400 ml/min for drying. The tube was then cut into 0.5-inch bullets. The gold particles in the “bullets” were injected into the skin of anesthetized mice using a helium-driven gene gun (Powderject, Inc.). The skin was shaved and depilated before injection (20 (link)). Four injections at 400 pounds/square inch were delivered to each mouse, one to each of the abdominal quadrants, for a total of 4 μg of plasmid DNA per mouse. 7 d later, spleen cells were restimulated and CTL activity was determined as described for pep/TM.

New Zealand white rabbits (Harlan Laboratories, Prattville, AL) were initially immunized with 100 µg of purified GST-TIP-1 protein premixed in a 1∶1 ratio by weight with Titermax adjuvant (CytRx Corporation, Los Angeles, CA). One month after the initial immunization, the animals were boosted with same amount of antigen twice with 2 weeks interval without the adjuvant. Blood samples were periodically taken for antibody titration and specificity analyses by ELISA or western blot. When the anti-TIP-1 antibody reached the designated high titer, the animals were sacrificed to collect the antiserum. The antiserum was purified by passage through protein A plus protein G columns (sigma) to purify IgGs. TIP-1 specific antibodies were prepared from the purified IgGs by tandem absorption with bacterial proteins and the purified GST protein-conjugated sepharose-4B (Sigma) to remove the IgGs that might bind proteins other than TIP-1. The final antibody was dialyzed against PBS and concentrated via Amicon centrifugal filters (Millipore, Billerica, MA). Specificity of the TIP-1 specific antibody was validated with whole cell staining and western blot analyses of whole cell lysates. All animal studies were conducted as approved (protocol ID: M/08/051 and M/08/592) by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) at Vanderbilt University.

Anti–human mAbs used for FACS analyses were as follows: mouse IgG1-FITC (isotype control), PE-conjugated anti-CD19 and -CD38, Cy-Chrome® (Cyc) and allophycoerythrin-conjugated anti-CD38 and biotinylated anti-CD80 (B7.1) and -CD86 (B7.2) (all obtained from BD PharMingen). FITC- and PE-conjugated anti-IgD and -IgG (Southern Biotech). Biotinylated mAbs were detected with Streptavidin-CyC (BD PharMingen). Purified mAbs used for T cell depletions, anti-CD3 (OKT-3), -CD4 (Leu3a) and -CD8 (OKT-8), were purchased from the mAb Core Facility at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC). The following mAbs were purified from bioreactor supernatants using standard protein G–Sepharose (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) or protein A–Sepharose (Sigma-Aldrich) affinity chromatography: Mags.DO5, MaP.DM1 (6 (link)), L243 (11 (link)), CerCLIP.1 (11 (link)), and 3D3 (12 (link)), and conjugated with FITC or biotin as described previously (13 ).
To produce anti-human DO mAbs, mice were immunized with affinity-purified DM–DO complexes (10 (link)) emulsified in Titer Max (CytRx Corp.) and screened for an immune response by ELISA. Splenocytes were fused to SP2/O-Ag14 cells, and culture supernatants from the hybridoma cells were screened by immunofluorescence using DO positive and negative B cells. One hybridoma secreted an mAb that recognized DO. This clone (Mags.DO5; IgG1), recognizes free DO in addition to DM–DO complexes.

The animal studies were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at the Institut Pasteur of Shanghai. The mice were kept in the SPF (specific pathogen free) animal facility with controlled temperature (20–26 °C), humidity (40–70%), and lighting conditions (12 h light/12 h dark cycle).
To generate MAbs, female BALB/c mice aged 6–8 weeks were each primed with 100 μg of RBD-mFc protein (Sino Biological) formulated with 0.5 mg of aluminum hydroxide adjuvant (Invivogen, USA) and 25 μg of CpG oligonucleotides (Sangon Biotech, China) via the i.p. route on day 0. The mice were boosted via the subcutaneous route on day 8 with RBD-mFc (50 μg/mouse) emulsified with Freund’s complete adjuvant (Sigma), and on day 13 with RBD-mFc (50 μg/mouse) emulsified with Titermax adjuvant (Sigma). On day 22, one mouse was injected with 75 μg of HEK 293F-expressed RBD protein in PBS in a tail vein. On day 26, splenocytes were isolated and fused with SP2/0 cells using polyethylene glycol 1450 (Sigma). Fused cells were then selected in a hypoxanthine, aminopterine, and thymidine (HAT; Sigma) medium. Eight days later, hybridoma supernatants were screened for their ability to bind to RBD protein and to block the ACE2-hFc/SARS-CoV-2 RBD binding by ELISA, as described below. ELISA-positive hybridoma cells were cloned by limiting dilution method and the resulting monoclonal cell lines were expanded. Purified MAbs were prepared from ascitic fluids using HiTrap™ Protein G HP column (GE Healthcare, USA).
