Abstract excerpt
The recent emergence of novel SARS-CoV-2 variants has threatened the efforts to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. The emergence of these "variants of concern" has increased immune escape and has supplanted the ancestral strains. The novel variants harbored by the B.1.617 lineage (kappa and delta) carry mutations within the receptor-binding domain of spike (S) protein (L452R + E484Q and L452R + T478K), the region...
