Journal ArticleDOI

Structure, Function, and Antigenicity of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Glycoprotein.

TL;DR: It is demonstrating that cross-neutralizing antibodies targeting conserved S epitopes can be elicited upon vaccination, and it is shown that SARS-CoV-2 S uses ACE2 to enter cells and that the receptor-binding domains of Sars- coV- 2 S and SARS S bind with similar affinities to human ACE2, correlating with the efficient spread of SATS among humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cross-neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 by a human monoclonal SARS-CoV antibody.

TL;DR: Several monoclonal antibodies that target the S glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2, which was identified from memory B cells of an individual who was infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS- coV) in 2003, and one antibody (named S309) potently neutralization, which may limit the emergence of neutralization-escape mutants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mapping Neutralizing and Immunodominant Sites on the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Receptor-Binding Domain by Structure-Guided High-Resolution Serology.

TL;DR: It is found that both the magnitude of Ab responses to SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) and nucleoprotein and nAb titers correlate with clinical scores, and the immunodominance of the receptor-binding motif will guide the design of COVID-19 vaccines and therapeutics.
