Researchers developed a novel method to screen publically available raw whole genome sequencing data of SARS-CoV-2 and identify mutations of interest more rapidly.
New research discusses the role of mutations in the receptor-binding domain of the spike protein in the generation of antibody resistance and loss of vaccine efficacy.
As SARS-CoV-2 variants continue to emerge, it is becoming more and more necessary to understand how best to respond to said variants. This white paper from Sino Biological discusses their efforts to combat the emergence of these variants.
To gain a better understanding of the antigenic properties of Mu and A.2.5 Spikes, Canadian scientists evaluated their capacity to interact with ACE2 and performed binding and neutralization assays with plasma from vaccinated individuals.
This randomized trial assesses the effect of a single dose of subcutaneous casirivimab and imdevimab antibody combination vs placebo on 28-day progression to sy
