Abstract excerpt
Immunocompromised individuals with prolonged SARS-CoV-2 infections are recognized reservoirs for viral evolution and the emergence of immune escape variants. We investigated intra-host evolutionary dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 under distinct immune pressures exerted by plasma from kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). Wild-type (WT) SARS-CoV-2 (B.6.6) and Omicron subvariants (BA.5.2 and XBB.1.5.57) were serially...
