SARS-CoV-2 variants B.1.351 and P.1 escape from neutralizing antibodies.

TLDR
In this article, the authors show that SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 variants B.1.7 (UK), B.351 (South Africa), and P.1 (Brazil) harbor mutations in the viral spike (S) protein that may alter virus-host cell interactions and confer resistance to inhibitors and antibodies.

Structural Characterization of a Neutralizing Nanobody With Broad Activity Against SARS-CoV-2 Variants

TL;DR: The isolation and biological and structural characterization of a single-chain antibody (nanobody) from RBD-immunized alpaca are reported and structural characterizations and mutagenesis suggest that unlike most antibodies, the blockage by DL28 does not involve direct competition or steric hindrance.

Natural variations within the glycan shield of SARS-CoV-2 impact viral spike dynamics

TL;DR: In this article , the authors compare the site-specific glycosylation of a recombinant viral spike mimetic of the P.1 (Gamma) strain, which exhibits two additional N-linked glycan sites compared to the equivalent variant of the Wuhan strain.

Topical TMPRSS2 inhibition prevents SARS-CoV-2 infection in differentiated primary human airway cells

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used differentiated primary human airway epithelial cells maintained at the air-liquid interface (ALI) to test the impact of targeting TMPRSS2 on the prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

A pneumonia outbreak associated with a new coronavirus of probable bat origin

TL;DR: Identification and characterization of a new coronavirus (2019-nCoV), which caused an epidemic of acute respiratory syndrome in humans in Wuhan, China, and it is shown that this virus belongs to the species of SARSr-CoV, indicates that the virus is related to a bat coronav virus.
