Association of E484K spike protein mutation with SARS-CoV-2 infection in vaccinated persons---Maryland, January - May 2021.

TLDR
Among 9,048 people infected with SARS-CoV-2 between January-May- 2021 in Maryland, in regression-adjusted analysis, the spike protein mutation E484K was disproportionately prevalent among persons infected after full vaccination against COVID-19 as compared to infected persons who were not fully vaccinated as discussed by the authors.
Abstract
Among 9,048 people infected with SARS-CoV-2 between January-May, 2021 in Maryland, in regression-adjusted analysis, SARS-CoV-2 viruses carrying the spike protein mutation E484K were disproportionately prevalent among persons infected after full vaccination against COVID-19 as compared to infected persons who were not fully vaccinated (aOR 1.96, 95% CI, 1.36 to 2.83).

COVID-19 Variant Detection with a High-Fidelity CRISPR-Cas12 Enzyme

TL;DR: In this article , a rapid COVID-19 variant DETECTR assay incorporating loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) followed by CRISPR-Cas12 based identification of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) gene was presented.

A case series of SARS-CoV-2 reinfections caused by the variant of concern Gamma in Brazil

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe 25 cases of SARS-CoV-2 reinfection confirmed by real-time RT-PCR twice within months apart in Brazil and demonstrate that the VOC Gamma was associated with reinfections during the second Brazilian epidemic wave in 2021 and raised concern about the potential infectiousness of reinfected subjects.

The (apparent) antibody paradox in COVID-19

TL;DR: The role of antibodies in COVID-19 remains to be fully defined as discussed by the authors , however, it is increasingly clear that the virus triggers an inappropriate host inflammatory reaction in patients experiencing severe disease.

Receptor binding domain proteins of SARS‐CoV‐2 variants produced in Nicotiana benthamiana elicit neutralizing antibodies against variants of concern

TL;DR: The results showed that three doses of the RBD‐Fc vaccine significantly enhanced the immune response against all tested SARS‐CoV‐2 variants, and these proof‐of‐concept results will be helpful for the development of plant‐derived RBD-Fc‐based vaccines against Sars‐Cov‐2 and its variants.

Increased resistance of SARS-CoV-2 variant P.1 to antibody neutralization.

TL;DR: The P.1 trimer adopts exclusively a conformation in which one of the receptor-binding domains is in the "up" position, which is known to facilitate binding to the entry receptor ACE2.
