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.

CHARM: COVID-19 Health Action Response for Marines–Association of antigen-specific interferon-gamma and IL2 responses with asymptomatic and symptomatic infections after a positive qPCR SARS-CoV-2 test

TL;DR: Assessment of T cell responses against S, N and M proteins in symptomatic and asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infected participants helps support the central role of Th1-biased cell mediated immunity IFN-γ and IL2 responses, particularly to the N protein, in controlling COVID-19 symptoms, and justify T cell-based CO VID-19 vaccines that include the N and S proteins.

Long-term immune protection against SARS-CoV-2 escape variants upon a single vaccination with murine cytomegalovirus expressing the spike protein

TL;DR: In this article , a single dose of a murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV)-based vaccine, which expresses the spike (S) protein of the virus circulating early in the pandemic, protects highly susceptible K18hACE2 mice from clinical symptoms and death upon challenge with a lethal dose of D614G SARS-CoV-2.1.

Heterologous SARS-CoV-2 spike protein booster elicits durable and broad antibody responses against the receptor-binding domain

TL;DR: In this paper , longitudinal analysis reveals more sustained SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor-binding domain (RBD)-binding IgG titers with the breadth to antigenically distinct variants by the S-268019-b spike protein booster compared to the BNT162b2 mRNA homologous booster.

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.
