B.1.1.7 and B.1.351 variants are highly virulent in K18-ACE2 transgenic mice and show different pathogenic patterns from early SARS-CoV-2 strains

2021-06-07

Abstract excerpt

SARS-CoV-2 continues to circulate globally resulting in emergence of several variants of concern (VOC), including B.1.1.7 and B.1.351 that show increased transmissibility and enhanced resistance to antibody neutralization. In a K18-hACE2 transgenic mouse model, we demonstrate that Both B.1.1.7 and B.1.351 are 100 times more lethal than the original SARS-CoV-2 bearing 614D. Mice infected with B.1.1.7 and B.1.351 ex...
