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.

SARS-CoV-2: An Overview of Virus Genetics, Transmission, and Immunopathogenesis.

TL;DR: The immune response developed during SARS-CoV-2 infection is demonstrated with special reference to the interplay between immune cells and their role in disease progression and establishing intervention approaches to reduce the likelihood of future CoVs spillover from the natural reservoirs is a priority.

A bivalent nanoparticle vaccine exhibits potent cross-protection against the variants of SARS-CoV-2

TL;DR: In this paper , a bivalent nanoparticle vaccine that displays the receptor binding domains (RBDs) of the D614G and B.1.351 strains was developed to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Single-Domain Antibodies Efficiently Neutralize SARS-CoV-2 Variants of Concern

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors isolated a panel of single-domain antibodies that specifically bind to the receptor-binding domain of SARS-CoV-2 S glycoprotein and used three of the selected antibodies exhibiting most robust neutralization potency to generate dimeric molecules.

Plastic Antibodies Mimicking the ACE2 Receptor for Selective Binding of SARS‐CoV‐2 Spike

TL;DR: In this paper , an epitope from the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein comprising 17 amino acids was used as a template during the imprinting process, and the interactions between the epitope template and organosilane monomers used for the polymer synthesis were predicted via molecular docking simulations.

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.
