Spike mutation D614G alters SARS-CoV-2 fitness and neutralization susceptibility
2020-09-10
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>A spike protein mutation D614G became dominant in SARS-CoV-2 during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the mutational impact on viral spread and vaccine efficacy remains to be defined. Here we engineer the D614G mutation in the SARS-CoV-2 USA-WA1/2020 strain and characterize its effect on viral replication, pathogenesis, and antibody neutralization. The D614G mutation significantly enhance...
