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.
Journal ArticleDOI

SARS-CoV-2 B.1.617.2 Delta variant replication and immune evasion.

TL;DR: The B.617.1.2 spike protein was able to mediate highly efficient syncytium formation that was less sensitive to inhibition by neutralizing antibody, compared with that of wild-type spike as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that the immunodominant SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) receptor binding motif (RBM) is a highly variable region of S and provide epidemiological, clinical, and molecular characterization of a prevalent, sentinel RBM mutation, N439K.
