1.OBJECTIVES
The pur pose of this study was to express and characterize the vaccine antig enencoded b y 
BNT162b2 .
2.INTRODUCTION
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COV ID-19) vaccine (BioNTech code number BNT162, Pfizer 
code number PF -07302048) is aninvestigational vaccine intended toprevent COVID -19, 
which is caused bysevere acute respiratory  syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS -CoV -2).
Coronavirus S is a major target o f virus neutralizing antibodie s and is a key  antigen for
vaccine development. S is a transmembrane gl ycoprotein responsible for receptor
recognition, attachment to the cell, and viral envelop e fusion with a host cel l membrane
resulting in genome release . While the membrane -proximal S2 is responsible for membrane 
fusion, the membrane -distal S1, with its receptor- binding domain (RBD), recognizes the host 
receptor, angiotensin converting enzy me 2 (ACE2) (Zhou et al, 2020). The RBD forms
membrane distal “heads” on the S trimer that are conn ected to the bod y by ahinge. In th e 
native S, the RBD alternates between an open (up) and closed (down) position. Although 
potent neutralizing epitopes have bee n described when the RBD is in the “heads down” 
closed conformati on, the “heads up” receptor ac cessible conformation exposes a potentially  
greater breadth of neutralizing antibody  targets ( Brouwer et al, 2020 ; Liu et al, 2020 ; 
Robbiani et al, 2020 ).
The gl ycoprotein encoded by  the vaccine candidate BNT162 b2 includes two amino acid 
substitutions to proline (P2 S) locking the transmemb rane protein in an antigenically  optimal 
prefusion conformation ( Pallesen et al, 2017 ; Wrapp et al, 2020 ).The P2 S antigen wa s 
expressed from DNA and characterized for structure and binding to hu man ACE2 and 
SAR S-CoV -2 neutralizing antibodies .

3.1.Flow Cytometry Analysis of Binding to Cell Surface -Expressed P2 S
Amodified pcDN A3.1 Zeo (+) construct encoding the P2 S antigen under control of a CAG
promoter was expressed in Expi293F cells as per the supplied Expifectamine 293 
Transfection Kit protocol .
Cells were collected 48 hr post transfection, washed with TBS buffer, and use d at 4- 5 x 104
for each condition. Cells were incubated fo r 1 hrat room tempe rature ( RT)inTBS + 4% 
BSA + 0.01 mg/mL  7-AAD to detect non -viable cells and with either (i) 1:100 FITC -labeled 
anti-6xHis plus 10 nM His -tagged human ACE2 peptidase domain (ACE2 -PD); (ii) 100 nM 
Alexa-488 labeled anti -Rabbit IgG Fab plus eit her 3 3 nM anti -SARS -CoV -2 Spik e RBD 
(αRBD, Sino Biological 40592 -T62), anti -SARS -Cov-2 Spike S1 ( αS1, Sino Biological 
40150 -R007), or anti -SARS Spike S2 ( αS2, Novus NB100 -56578); or (iii) 100 nM 
Alexa -488 labeled ant-Human IgG Fab plus either 33 nM CR3022 thera peutic antibody  
(αCR3022) (Yuan et al, 2020) , B38 neutralizing antibody  (αB38), or H4 neutralizing 
antibody  (αH4)(Wu et al, 2020). Cells were washed with TBS and then anal yzedin a 
V-bottom 96 -well plate using a Guava Eas yCyte HT flow cy tomet ry system.For each 
condition, three replicates were measured with 3000 events collected per replicate.
3.2.P2 S Expression and Purification
To express SARS -CoV -2 P2 S encoded by  BNT162b2 f or biophy sical characteri zation, a 
gene encoding the full length SARS -CoV -2spike (GenBank: MN908947) with two proli nes 
substituted at residues 986 and 987 (K986P and V987P) followed with a C-terminal HRV3 C 
protease site and a TwinStre p tag was cloned into a modified pcDNA3.1(+) vector with the 
CAG promoter. The TwinStrep -tagged P2 S was expressed in Expi293 Fcells.
Purification of the recombinant protein was based on a procedure described previously , with 
minor modifications ( Caiet al, 2020 ). Upon cell lysis, P2 S was solubilised in 1% NP -40 
detergent. The TwinStrep- tagged protein was then captured with StrepTactin Sep harose HP 
resin in 0.5% NP -40. P2 S was further purified b y size-exclusion chromatograph yand eluted 
as three distinct peaks in 0.02 % NP- 40 as previously  reported (Caiet al, 2020). A peak that
consists of int act P2 S migrating at around 150 kDa, as well as dissociated S1 and S2 
subunits (which co -migrate at just ab ove 75 kDa),was used in the str uctural characteri zation. 
Spontaneous dissociation of the S1 and S2 subunits occurs throughout the course of protein
purification, starting at the point of deterg ent-mediated protein extraction, so that P2 S 
preparations also cont ain d issoc iated S1 and S2 .
3.3.Binding Kinetics of P2 S to Immobilized Human ACE2 and a Neutralizing 
Monoclonal Antibody by Biolayer Interferomet ry
Binding of NP-40 solubili zed, purified P2 S to ACE2 -PD and human neutrali zing 
monoclonal antibody  B38 (Wu et al, 2020) wasmeasured b y biolay er interferometry at 25 °C 
on an Octet RED384 (FortéBio) . P2 S binding was measured in 25 mM Tris pH 7.5, 150 mM
NaCl, 1 mM EDTA and 0.02% NP -40. Avi -tagged hu man ACE2- PD was immobili zed on
streptavidin -coated sensors; B38 an tibody  was immobili zed on protein G -coated sensors. For

Page 7a P2 S concentration series, after initial baseline equilibration of 120 s econds , the sensors 
were dipped in a 10 µg/mL  solution of Avi- tagged ACE2 -PD or B3 8 mAb for 300 s econds to 
achieve captur e lev els of 1 nM using the thr eshold function. Then, after another 120 seconds 
of baseline, binding data were collected for 300 seconds o f association and 600 seconds of 
dissociation.
Biolay er interferometry  data were collected with Octet Dat a Acquisition software version 
10.0.0.87 and processed using FortéBio Data Analy sis software version 10.0. Data were 
reference subtracted and fit to a 1:1 binding model with R2value greater than 0. 95 to 
determine kinetics and affinity of binding using Oct et Data Anal ysis Software v10.0 
(FortéBio).
3.4.Cryo -EM of P2 S
For TwinStrep- tagged P2 S, 4 μL purified protein at 0.5 mg/mL were applied to gold 
Quanti foil R1.2/1.3 300 mesh grids freshl y overlaid wit h graphene oxide. The s ample was 
blotted using a Vitrobot Mark IV for 4 s econds with a force of - 2 before being plunge d into 
liquid ethane cooled b y liquid nitrogen. 27,701 micrographs were collected from tw o 
identically  prepared grids. Data were collected from each grid over a defocus range of - 1.2 to 
-3.4μm with a total electron dose of 50.32 and 50.12 e-/Å2, respectivel y, fractionated into 
40frames over a 6 -second exposure for 1.26 and 1.25 e-/Å2/frame . On-the-fly motion 
correction, CTF estimation, and particle picking and extraction with a box size of 450 pixels 
were performed in Warp (Tegunov & Cramer, 2019 ), during which super -resolution data 
were binned to give a pixel size of 0.87 Å. A total of 1,119 ,906 particles were extracted. All 
subsequent processing was performed in RELION 3.1- beta (Zivanov et al, 2018) . Particle 
heterogeneity  was filtered out with 2D and 3D classification, y ielding a set of 73,393 
particles, which refined to 3.6 Å with C3 sy mme try. 3D classification of this dataset without 
particle alignment separated out on e class with a single RBD up, representing 15,098 
particles. The remaining 58,295 par ticles, in the three RBD ‘down’ conformation, were 
refined to give a final model at 3.29 Å. The atomic model from PDB ID 6XR8
(Caiet al, 2020 )was rigid -body fitted i nto the map d ensity , then flexibly  fitted to the density  
using real -space refinement in Phenix (Adam set al, 2010) alternating with manual building 
in Coot (Emsley  et al, 2010 ). Data collection, 3D reconstruction an d model refinement 
statistics are l isted in Table 1.

Page 94.RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
To confirm surface expre ssion of untagged P2 S as well as the ability  of P2 S to bind to 
human ACE2, flow cytometry  experiments were perfor med on nonpermeabilized cells 
(Figure 1). Antibodies to the RBD, S1, and S2 were pre -incubated with Alexa -488 anti -IgG 
Fab for staining, and a nucleic acid dy e was used to separate live and dead ce lls. To confirm 
binding of human ACE2, P2 S- expressing cells were labeled with the extracellular domain of 
human ACE2 pre -incubated with a FITC- labeled antibody  against an aff inity tag on the 
ACE2. Finally , anti- RBD human neutralizing antibodies B38 and H4 isolated from a 
COVID -19 convalescent patient ( Wu et al, 2020) andthe anti- RBD therapeutic antibody  
CR3022 ( Yuan et al, 2020 ) were similarly  confirmed to bind the surface -expressed P2 S.
Figure 1.Binding to Cell Surface -Expresse d Recombinant P2 S
P2 S antigen was expressed in Expi293F cel ls, and surface express ion confirmed by staining with antibodies 
against the RBD, S1, and S2 regions of the full -length S protein . Human ACE2 peptidase domain as well as the 
therapeutic antibod y CR3022 and tw o neutralizin g antibodies isolated from a COVID -19 convalescent patient , 
B38 and H4, were further confirmed to bind to surface express P2 S. The nucleic acid dye 7 -AAD was used 
identify viable cells (lower quadrants in flow plots). Binding t o surface expressed P2 S over background in live 
cells is quant ified across replicates in the bar g raph.
For structural and bioph ysical characterization, P2 S was expressed in Expi293F cells from 
DNA that encodes the same amino acid sequence as BNT162b2 RNA, with the addition of a 
C-terminal TwinStrep tag for affinit y purification .Followi ng purificati on,as described in 
Methods, P2 S elute d as three distinct peaks in 0.02% NP -40 as previousl y reported 
(Caietal,2020 ). Protein from the first peak of a si ze exclu sion column, containing intact P2 
S and dissociated S1 and S2, was assay ed by biolayer interferometry ( Figure 2). The trimeric

0.95. Actual binding data (black) and the best fit of the data to a 1:1 binding model (green ).Apparent kinetic 
parameters are provided in the graphs.
Purified Twin Strep-tagged P2 S was characterized structurally using cry oEM. 2D 
classification of part icles from cry oEM data rev ealed a particle population that closely  
resembles the prefusion conformation of SARS -CoV -2 spike protein (Figure 3A). Processing 
and refinement of this dataset y ielded a high- quality  3D ma p with a nominal resolution of 
3.29 Å ( Figure 3B), into which a previousl y published atomi c model (PDB ID: 6VS B) was
fitted and rebuilt. The rebuilt model (Figure 3C) shows good agr eement with reported 
structures of prefusion full -length wild t ype S (Caiet al, 2020) and its ectodomain with P2 
mutations ( Wrapp et al, 2020 ). Three -dimensional classification of the data set (Figure 3D) 
showed a class of particle s that was in the one RBD ‘up’ (accessible for receptor binding), 
two RBD ‘down ’(closed) conformation and rep resented 20.4% of the trimeric molecules. 
The remainder were in the all R BD ‘down’ conformation. The RBD in the ‘up’ conformation 
was less well re solved tha n other parts of the structu re, suggesting conformational flexibility  
and a d ynamic equilibrium betw een RBD ‘up’ and RBD ‘down’ states as also suggested b y 
others ( Caiet al, 2020; Henderson et al, 2020).

We demonstrate that the BNT162b2 RNA sequence encodes a recombin ant P2 S that can 
authentically  present the ACE2 binding site and other epitopes targeted by  SARS -CoV -2 
neutralizing antibodies.
Binding of cell s urfac e expressed P2 S to human ACE2 rec eptor and a panel of h uman 
neutralizing mAbs was confirmed in cells usi ng flow cy tometry . Protein expressed from 
DNA with the BNT162b2- encoded P2 S amino acid sequence was confirmed to be in the 
prefusion conformation by cryo-EM. This analy sis showed that the antigenically  important 
RBD can assume the ‘up’ conformation, with the receptor binding site, rich in neutralizing 
epitopes, accessible in a proportion of the molec ules(Zost et al, 2020 ). The alternative states 
observ ed refl ect a dy namic equilibrium between RBD ‘up’ and ‘down’ p ositio ns
(Caietal,2020 ; Henderson et al, 2020) . Binding of expressed and purified P2 S to ACE2 and 
a neutralizing monoclonal antibody  further demonstrates its conformational and ant igeni c 
integrity.
