Abstract excerpt
Monoclonal antibodies targeting the Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 are effective against COVID-19 and might mitigate future pandemics. However, their efficacy is challenged by the emergence of antibody-resistant virus variants. We developed a method to efficiently identify such resistant mutants based on selection from mutagenized virus pools. By inducing mutations with the active compound of Molnupiravir,...
