Altered infectivity, cell-cell fusion, and immune evasion of SARS-CoV-2 BA.3.2 and LP.8.1 variants.

Journal of virology - 23 Jun 2026

Li Pei, Zheng Yi-Min, Liu Shan-Lu

Abstract excerpt

The continued evolution of SARS-CoV-2 has yielded highly immune-evasive Omicron subvariants that challenge existing population immunity. In late 2024, a novel subvariant designated BA.3.2 emerged independently from the BA.3 lineage, carrying over 50 spike mutations, and representing a distinct evolutionary branch with unclear biological properties. Here, we characterize the BA.3.2 spike-mediated entry,...
