Abstract excerpt
In November 2023, SARS-CoV-2 XBB descendants, including EG.5.1 (XBB.1.9.2.5.1), the currently predominant lineage, are circulating worldwide according to Nextstrain. EG.5.1 has a characteristic amino acid substitution in the spike protein (S), S:F456L, which contributes to its escape from humoral immunity. EG.5.1 has further evolved, and its descendant lineage harboring S:L455F (i.e., EG.5.1+S:L455F) emerged and w...
