Abstract The unceasing circulation of SARS-CoV-2 leads to the continuous emergence novel viral sublineages. Here, we isolate and characterize XBB.1, XBB.1.5, XBB.1.9.1, XBB.1.16.1, EG.5.1.1, EG.5.1.3, XBF, BA.2.86.1 JN.1 variants, representing >80% circulating variants in January 2024. XBB subvariants carry few but recurrent mutations spike, whereas harbor >30 additional changes. These replicate IGROV-1 no longer Vero E6 are not markedly fusogenic. They potently infect nasal epithelial cells, with EG.5.1.3 exhibiting highest fitness. Antivirals remain active. Neutralizing antibody (NAb) responses from vaccinees BA.1/BA.2-infected individuals lower compared BA.1, without major differences between variants. An breakthrough infection enhances NAb against both BA.2.86 displays affinity ACE2 higher immune evasion properties BA.2.86.1. Thus, while distinct, evolutionary trajectory these combines increased fitness evasion.

In late 2022, various Omicron subvariants emerged and cocirculated worldwide. These variants convergently acquired amino acid substitutions at critical residues in the spike protein, including R346, K444, L452, N460, F486. Here, we characterize convergent evolution of properties one recent lineage concern, BQ.1.1. Our phylogenetic analysis suggests that these five are recurrently acquired, particularly younger lineages. Epidemic dynamics modelling increase viral fitness, a large proportion fitness variation within lineages can be explained by substitutions. Compared to BA.5, BQ.1.1 evades breakthrough BA.2 BA.5 infection sera more efficiently, as demonstrated neutralization assays. The pathogenicity hamsters is lower than BA.5. multiscale investigations illuminate evolutionary rules governing for known 2022.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron sublineages have escaped most receptor-binding domain (RBD)-targeting therapeutic neutralizing antibodies (NAbs), which proves that previous NAb drug screening strategies are deficient against the fast-evolving SARS-CoV-2. Better broad candidate selection methods needed. Here, we describe a rational approach for identifying RBD-targeting SARS-CoV-2 cocktails. Based on high-throughput epitope determination, propose drugs should target non-immunodominant RBD epitopes to avoid herd-immunity-directed escape mutations. Also, their interacting antigen residues focus sarbecovirus conserved sites and associate with critical viral functions, making antibody-escaping mutations less likely appear. Following these criteria, featured non-competing antibody cocktail, SA55+SA58, is identified from large collection of NAbs isolated SARS-CoV-2-vaccinated SARS convalescents. SA55+SA58 potently neutralizes ACE2-utilizing sarbecoviruses, including circulating variants, could serve as prophylactics offer long-term protection, especially individuals who immunocompromised or high-risk comorbidities.

Abstract Continued evolution of SARS-CoV-2 has led to the emergence several new Omicron subvariants, including BQ.1, BQ. 1.1, BA.4.6, BF.7 and BA.2.75.2. Here we examine neutralization resistance these as well their ancestral BA.4/5, BA.2.75 D614G variants, against sera from 3-dose vaccinated health care workers, hospitalized BA.1-wave patients, BA.5-wave patients. We found enhanced in all especially BQ.1 BQ.1.1 subvariants driven by a key N460K mutation, lesser extent, R346T K444T mutations, BA.2.75.2 subvariant largely its F486S mutation.

Abstract SARS-CoV-2 recombinant subvariant XBB.1.5 is growing rapidly in the United States, carrying an additional Ser486Pro substitution compared to XBB.1 and outcompeting BQ.1.1 other XBB sublineages. The underlying mechanism for such high transmissibility remains unclear. Here we show that exhibits a substantially higher hACE2-binding affinity XBB/XBB.1. Convalescent plasma samples from BA.1, BA.5, BF.7 breakthrough infection are significantly evaded by both XBB.1.5, with displaying slightly weaker immune evasion capability than XBB.1. Evusheld Bebtelovimab could not neutralize XBB.1/XBB.1.5, while Sotrovimab weakly reactive notably, SA55 still highly effective. fact showed comparable antibody but distinct suggests enhanced receptor-binding would indeed lead growth advantages. strong hACE2 binding of also enable its tolerance further escape mutations, which should be closely monitored.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) XBB lineages have achieved dominance worldwide and keep on evolving. Convergent evolution of the receptor-binding domain (RBD) L455F F456L is observed, resulting in variants with substantial growth advantages, such as EG.5, FL.1.5.1, XBB.1.5.70, HK.3. Here, we show that neutralizing antibody (NAb) evasion drives convergent F456L, while epistatic shift caused by enables subsequent convergence through ACE2 binding enhancement further immune evasion. evade RBD-targeting Class 1 public NAbs, reducing neutralization efficacy breakthrough infection (BTI) reinfection convalescent plasma. Importantly, single substitution significantly dampens receptor binding; however, combination forms an adjacent residue flipping, which leads to enhanced NAbs resistance affinity.
