2022-05-17
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> The rising case numbers of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.4, BA.5, and BA.2.12.1 subvariants has generated serious concern about the course of the pandemic. Here we examine the neutralization resistance, infectivity, processing, and fusogenicity of spike from the BA.4/5 and BA.2.12.1 SARS-CoV-2 variants compared with other Omicron subvariants and Delta. Critically, we found that the new Omicron subvar...
