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.

Antibody neutralization to SARS-CoV-2 and variants after 1 year in Wuhan, China

- 01 Jan 2022 - 
TL;DR: In this article , the sera from 248 COVID-19 convalescents around 1 year post-infection in Wuhan, the earliest known epicenter, was tested and the results suggest that SARS-CoV-2 can elicit long-lasting immunity but this is escaped by the emerging variants.

Monoclonal antibody targeting the conserved region of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein to overcome viral variants

TL;DR: The data suggest that a mAb recognizing the S2 region of the spike protein will be a potential universal therapeutic mAb for COVID-19, and the linear epitope of the mAb is identified, which is not mutated in any variant of concern.

Rapid and qualitative identification of SARS-CoV-2 mutations associated with variants of concern using a multiplex RT-PCR assay coupled with melting analysis

TL;DR: In this article , the Simplexa® SARS-CoV-2 Variants Direct assay was used to detect mutation patterns of Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Omicron variants with 100% specificity and 94% sensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of the systemic and mucosal immune response induced by COVID-19 and the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine for SARS-CoV-2

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that BNT162b2 vaccinated individuals generate relevant neutralizing antibodies, which begin to decrease within three months after immunization and show lower neutralizing potential to VOCs as compared to the original Wuhan virus strain.

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.
