Gene Synthesis> | The sequence encoding the RBD of the SARS-CoV-2 prototype (wild type spike residues 319-541) was also synthesized (GenScript). After 5 days, the cell supernatant containing mAbs was harvested, loaded onto protein A resin (GenScript), and eluted with glycine buffer at pH 3.0. | Get A Quote |

SARS-CoV-2 variants have evolved a variety of critical mutations, leading to antigenicity changes and immune escape. The recent emerging SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant attracted global attention due to its significant resistance to current antibody therapies and vaccines. Here, we profiled the mutations of Omicron and other various circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants in parallel by computational interface analysis and in vitro experimental assays. We identified critical mutations that lead to antigenicity changes and diminished neutralization efficiency of a panel of 14 antibodies due to diverse molecular mechanisms influencing the antigen-antibody interaction. Our study identified that Omicron exhibited extraordinary ... More
