SARS-CoV-2 infection in immunosuppression evolves sub-lineages which independently accumulate neutralization escape mutations
28 Dec 2023
Abstract excerpt
One mechanism of variant formation may be evolution during long-term infection in immunosuppressed people. To understand the viral phenotypes evolved during such infection, we tested SARS-CoV-2 viruses evolved from an ancestral B.1 lineage infection lasting over 190 days post-diagnosis in an advanced HIV disease immunosuppressed individual. Sequence and phylogenetic analysis showed two evolving sub-lineages, with...
