Nonself Mutations in the Spike Protein Suggest an Increase in the Antigenicity and a Decrease in the Virulence of the Omicron Variant of SARS-CoV-2

2022-01-03

Abstract excerpt

Despite extensive worldwide vaccination, the current COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 continues. The Omicron variant is a recently emerged variant of concern and is now taking over the Delta variant. To characterize the potential antigenicity of the Omicron variant, we examined the distributions of SARS-CoV-2 nonself mutations (in reference to the human proteome) as 5 amino acid stretches of short constituen...
