SARS-CoV-2 variant biology: immune escape, transmission and fitness

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors summarize the literature on the relative transmissibility and antigenicity of SARS-CoV-2 variants, the role of mutations at the furin spike cleavage site and of non-spike proteins, the potential importance of recombination to virus success, and SARS CoV2 evolution in the context of T cells, innate immunity and population immunity.

The Spike of Concern-The Novel Variants of SARS-CoV-2.

TL;DR: A review of spike mutations can be found in this paper, where the D614G mutation is the hallmark of all variants, as it promotes viral spread by increasing the number of open spike protomers in the homo-trimeric receptor complex.

mRNA-1273 and BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccines elicit antibodies with differences in Fc-mediated effector functions

TL;DR: Findings suggest that subtle variation in immune responses induced by the BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 vaccines may confer differential protection, and insights are provided into potential differences in protective immunity conferred by these vaccines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Understanding T cell responses to COVID-19 is essential for informing public health strategies

TL;DR: Durable T cell responses to SARS-CoV-2 antigens after infection or vaccination improve immune-mediated viral clearance and can significantly inform public health policies and interventions.

SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell immunity in cases of COVID-19 and SARS, and uninfected controls.

TL;DR: Infection with betacoronaviruses induces multi-specific and long-lasting T cell immunity against the structural N protein, and SARS-CoV-2-reactive T cells were found in individuals who had recovered from SARS or COVID-19 and in unexposed donors, although with different patterns of immunoreactivity.
