A non-spike nucleocapsid R204P mutation in SARS-CoV-2 Omicron XEC enhances inflammation and pathogenicity

2025-05-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> The global circulation of SARS-CoV-2 in human populations has driven the emergence of Omicron subvariants, which have become highly diversified through recombination. In late 2024, SARS-CoV-2 Omicron XEC variant emerged from the recombination of two JN.1 progeny, KS.1.1 and KP.3.3, and became predominant worldwide. Here, we investigated virological features of the XEC variant. Epidemic dynamics m...
