Recently, a large number of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants continuously emerged and posed major threat to global public health. Among them, particularly, Omicron variant (B.1.1.529), first identified in November 2021, carried numerous mutations its spike protein (S), then quickly spread around the world. Currently, has expanded into more than one hundred sublineages, such as BA.1, BA.2, BA.2.12.1, BA.4 BA.5, which have already become globally dominant variants. Different from other concern (VOCs) SARS-CoV-2, sublineages exhibit increased transmissibility immune escape neutralizing antibodies generated through previous infection or vaccination, caused re-infections breakthrough infections.

Abstract The ongoing global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), has devastating impacts on the public health and economy. Rapid viral antigenic evolution led to continual generation new variants. Of special note is recently expanding Omicron subvariants that are capable immune evasion from most existing neutralizing antibodies (nAbs). This posed challenges for prevention treatment COVID-19. Therefore, exploring broad-spectrum antiviral agents combat emerging variants imperative. In sharp contrast massive accumulation mutations within SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD), S2 fusion subunit remained highly conserved among Hence, S2-based therapeutics may provide effective cross-protection against Here, we summarize developed inhibitors (e.g., nAbs, peptides, proteins, small-molecule compounds) candidate vaccines targeting elements in subunit. main focus includes all targetable elements, namely, peptide, stem helix, heptad repeats 1 (HR1-HR2) bundle.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which was caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has become a worldwide health crisis due to its transmissibility. SARS-CoV-2 infection results in illness and can lead significant complications affected individuals. These encompass symptoms such as coughing, distress, fever, infectious shock, distress (ARDS), even multiple-organ failure. Animal models serve crucial tools for investigating pathogenic mechanisms, immune responses, escape antiviral drug development, vaccines against SARS-CoV-2. Currently, various animal infection, nonhuman primates (NHPs), ferrets, hamsters, many different mouse models, have been developed. Each model possesses distinctive features applications.
