Abstract excerpt
The COVID-19 pandemic showcased a coevolutionary race between the human immune system and SARS-CoV-2, during which the immune system generated neutralizing antibodies targeting the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein's receptor-binding domain (RBD), crucial for host cell invasion, while the virus evolved to evade antibody recognition. Here, we establish a synthetic coevolution system combining high-throughput screening of...
