Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The COVID-19 pandemic has witnessed the rapid evolution of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, resulting in the emergence of multiple variants with mutations in critical regions of the spike protein, notably in the receptor binding domain. These mutations can lead to immune evasion and breakthrough (BT) infections, even in the vaccinated individuals. While previous studies have documented various mutations, there is a...
