Abstract excerpt
The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants, such as 501Y.V2, with immune evasion mutations in the spike has resulted in reduced efficacy of several COVID-19 vaccines. However, the efficacy of the Ad26.COV2.S vaccine, when tested in South Africa after the emergence of 501Y.V2, was not adversely impacted. We therefore assessed the binding and neutralization capacity of n=120 South African sera (from Day 29, post-vaccinati...
