SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant virus isolates are highly sensitive to interferon treatment

2022-01-24

Abstract excerpt

Recently, we have shown that SARS-CoV-2 Omicron virus isolates are less effective at inhibiting the host cell interferon response than Delta viruses. Here, we present further evidence that reduced interferon-antagonising activity explains at least in part why Omicron variant infections are inherently less severe than infections with other SARS-CoV-2 variants. Most importantly, we here also show that Omicron varian...
