Spike Protein-independent Attenuation of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Variant in Laboratory Mice

2022-02-08

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Despite being more transmissible, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron variant was found to cause milder diseases in laboratory animals, often accompanied by a lower viral load compared to previous variants of concern. This study revealed the structural basis for a robust interaction between the receptor binding domain of the Omicron spike protein and mouse ACE...
