Defining variant-resistant epitopes targeted by SARS-CoV-2 antibodies: A global consortium study

Abstract

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 spike protein is the basis of many vaccines and is a primary target of neutralizing antibodies after COVID-19 infection. The Coronavirus Immunotherapeutic Consortium (CoVIC), comprising 56 partners across the world, has analyzed a panel of 269 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and, on the basis of competition profiles, sorted 186 mAbs that target the receptor binding domain into seven communities. Hastie et al . went on to structurally analyze representative antibody binding and used pseudovirus neutralization assays to study the effect of spike mutations on antibody function, including the combinations of mutations found in certain variants of concern. These results are important to guide both treatment and prevention efforts. —VV
