Convalescence from prototype SARS-CoV-2 protects Syrian hamsters from disease caused by the Omicron variant
2021-12-26
Abstract excerpt
The mutation profile of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant poses a concern for naturally acquired and vaccine-induced immunity. We investigated the ability of prior infection with an early SARS-CoV-2, 99.99% identical to Wuhan-Hu-1, to protect against disease caused by the Omicron variant.
