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.

Second Generation Antibodies Neutralize Emerging SARS-CoV-2 Variants of Concern

TL;DR: The second-generation antibodies developed showed excellent neutralization of an authentic SARS-CoV-2 virus representing strains circulating in Europe in spring 2020 and also the variants of concern B.1.7 and B. 1.351; the neutralizing properties were fully reproduced in chimeric mouse-human versions, which may represent a promising tool for COVID-19 therapy.
