Emerging SARS-CoV-2 Variant B.1.1.7 Reduces Neutralization Activity of Antibodies Against Wild-Type SARS-CoV-2
2021-06-25
Abstract excerpt
Abstract: Spike-specific antibodies contribute significantly to the neutralizing activity against SARS-CoV-2 and are important for the therapeutic effect of convalescent plasma. B.1.1.7 is a recently emerged variant of SARS-CoV-2 that has several mutations in the gene encoding for the spike-protein. To assess the potential effect these mutations could have on the neutralizing efficacy of antibodies, we evaluated 9...
