The Omicron variant is highly resistant against antibody-mediated neutralization: Implications for control of the COVID-19 pandemic
xing feng,Etienne-Emile Baulieu +1 more
TLDR
In this paper , the authors reported that the Omicron spike was resistant against most therapeutic antibodies but remained susceptible to inhibition by sotrovimab, and that double immunization with BNT162b2 might not adequately protect against severe disease induced by this variant.About:
