Abstract excerpt
The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 circulating amongst highly immunized populations is anticipated to induce immunological pressures, potentially compromising existing immunity. This study investigates vaccine-induced immunity's impact on within-host diversity of Omicron variants and evaluates sub-consensus mutations at spike protein antigenic sites. Next-generation sequencing assessed the within-host diversity of...
