Protein structure analysis of the interactions between SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and the human ACE2 receptor: from conformational changes to novel neutralizing antibodies

Ivan Mercurio et al.

Summary: The recent COVID-19 pandemic has led to a global health emergency and calls for the scientific community to identify new tools for diagnosis and treatment. In silico analysis has provided insights into conformational changes of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and potential antibodies that could target it to prevent virus invasion into human cells. This analysis also offers guidance for developing new vaccines and treatments based on targeting the spike protein.

Recognition of the SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain by neutralizing antibodies

Meng Yuan et al.

Summary: Since the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, researchers from diverse biomedical and biological disciplines have collaborated to study the novel pandemic virus SARS-CoV-2. The focus has been on the antibody response to SARS-CoV-2, crucial for vaccine and therapeutic development. Most of the neutralizing antibodies for SARS-CoV-2 target the spike protein receptor binding domain (RBD).

Complete Mapping of Mutations to the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Receptor-Binding Domain that Escape Antibody Recognition

Allison J. Greaney et al.

Summary: Antibodies targeting the SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor-binding domain (RBD) are key in neutralizing antibody responses, and a deep mutational scanning method was used to assess the impact of all amino-acid mutations in the RBD on antibody binding with 10 human monoclonal antibodies. The study identified the clustered escape mutations in different surfaces of the RBD that correspond to structurally defined antibody epitopes, showing that even antibodies targeting the same surface can have distinct escape mutations.

Identification of SARS-CoV-2 spike mutations that attenuate monoclonal and serum antibody neutralization

Zhuoming Liu et al.

Summary: The study found that antibodies targeting the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein have escape mutations, different monoclonal antibodies have unique resistance profiles, some mutants are resistant to multiple antibodies while some variants can escape neutralization by convalescent sera. Comparing antibody-mediated mutations with circulating SARS-CoV-2 sequences revealed substitutions that may weaken neutralizing immune responses in some individuals, warranting further investigation.

Estimated transmissibility and impact of SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.1.7 in England

Nicholas G. Davies et al.

Summary: A new variant of SARS-CoV-2 has emerged in England, with a higher reproduction number and potential for large resurgences of COVID-19 cases. Without stringent control measures, it is projected that COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths in England for the first 6 months of 2021 will exceed those in 2020. The variant has spread globally and exhibited similar transmission increases in Denmark, Switzerland, and the United States.

Therapeutic activity of an inhaled potent SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing human monoclonal antibody in hamsters

Michael S. Piepenbrink et al.

Summary: The fully human monoclonal antibody 1212C2, derived from an IgM memory B cell of a COVID-19 patient, shows high affinity for the Spike protein receptor binding domain and effectively neutralizes SARS-CoV-2. When delivered intraperitoneally in hamsters, it demonstrates in vivo prophylactic and therapeutic activity in reducing viral burden and lung pathology in the respiratory tract.
