Functional characterization of spike RBD mutations in SARS-CoV-2 Omicron-derived subvariants KP.3.1.1, LP.8.1, and NB.1.8.1.

Journal of microbiology (Seoul, Korea) - 1 Apr 2026

Abstract excerpt

Following the global spread of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron (B.1.1.529), its subvariants KP.3.1.1, LP.8.1, and NB.1.8.1 disseminated worldwide. By April 2025, the epidemiological landscape of these subvariants had become distinct, with LP.8.1 emerging as the predominant variant, KP.3.1.1 persisting as a co-circulating variant under monitoring (VUM), and NB.1.8.1 exhibiting a significant increase in prevalence. Despite...
