Abstract excerpt
SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOC) acquired mutations in the spike (S) protein, including E484K, that confer resistance to neutralizing antibodies. However, it is incompletely understood how these mutations impact viral entry into host cells. Here, we analyzed how mutations at position 484 that have been detected in COVID-19 patients impact cell entry and antibody-mediated neutralization. We report that...
