Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Recently, highly transmissible SARS-CoV-2 variants B.1.617.1 (Kappa), B.1.617.2 (Delta) and B.1.618 were identified in India with mutations within the spike proteins. The spike protein of Kappa contains four mutations E154K, L452R, E484Q and P681R, and Delta contains L452R, T478K and P681R, while B.1.618 spike harbors mutations Δ145-146 and E484K. However, it remains unknown whether these varian...
