Spike mutation D614G alters SARS-CoV-2 fitness

Jessica A. Plante et al.

Summary: The D614G substitution in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein enhances viral replication and infectivity in human lung epithelial cells, primary airway tissues, and hamsters. This variant may increase transmission in the upper respiratory tract and doesn't seem to significantly reduce vaccine efficacy. Further research on therapeutic antibodies targeting the circulating G614 virus is recommended.

REGN-COV2, a Neutralizing Antibody Cocktail, in Outpatients with Covid-19

D. M. Weinreich et al.

Summary: Recent data indicate that complications and death from Covid-19 may be related to high viral loads. In this trial involving nonhospitalized patients, a cocktail of two neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (REGN-COV2) reduced viral load, with a greater effect in patients with no immune response or high viral load at baseline. Safety outcomes were similar between REGN-COV2 dose groups and the placebo group.

S. F. Lumley et al.

Summary: In a longitudinal study of seropositive and seronegative health care workers undergoing asymptomatic and symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 testing, the presence of anti-spike or anti-nucleocapsid IgG antibodies was associated with a substantially reduced risk of SARS-CoV-2 reinfection in the ensuing 6 months.

The Upper Respiratory Tract of Felids Is Highly Susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Nadine Krueger et al.

Summary: Domestic and predatory cats are highly susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection, with strong viral replication observed in nasal mucosa and trachea, primarily in epithelial cells. Lower efficiency of replication was found in lung tissue. High ACE2 levels in the nose and trachea suggest a correlation with susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 in felines.

The Rhinolophus affinis bat ACE2 and multiple animal orthologs are functional receptors for bat coronavirus RaTG13 and SARS-CoV-2

Pei Li et al.

Summary: Bat coronavirus RaTG13 shares high genome similarity with SARS-CoV-2 and uses human ACE2 for entry. Various animal ACE2s, including Rhinolophus affinis bat ACE2, can act as entry receptors for SARS-CoV-2 and RaTG13. Mutagenesis analysis identified critical residues in spike proteins for recognition of host ACE2. These findings contribute to understanding coronavirus entry, host range, and virus-host coevolution.

SARS-CoV-2 501Y.V2 variants lack higher infectivity but do have immune escape

Qianqian Li et al.

Summary: The 501Y.V2 variants of SARS-CoV-2 with multiple mutations are rapidly spreading from South Africa to other countries, showing reduced susceptibility to neutralizing antibodies and potential compromise of monoclonal antibodies and vaccines. Enhanced infectivity in murine ACE2-overexpressing cells suggests the possibility of transmission to mice.

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.

SARS-CoV-2 Rapidly Adapts in Aged BALB/c Mice and Induces Typical Pneumonia

Yufei Zhang et al.

Summary: This study showed that aged BALB/c mice infected with SARS-CoV-2 exhibited rapid viral replication leading to pneumonia, while young mice quickly cleared the virus with no pathological changes in the lungs. Aged mice also had stronger cytokine responses, particularly interleukin 6 and interferon gamma, compared to young mice. The research further demonstrated the potential of using aged BALB/c mice as a model for understanding SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis and testing vaccines and antiviral agents.

Association of SARS-CoV-2 Seropositive Antibody Test With Risk of Future Infection

Raymond A. Harvey et al.

Summary: Understanding the impact of serum antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 on infection susceptibility is crucial for identifying at-risk populations and vaccine deployment. Results of the study suggest that individuals with positive antibody test results initially had a higher likelihood of positive NAAT results, but this likelihood decreased significantly over time, indicating that seropositivity may be associated with protection from infection, though the duration of this protection remains uncertain and may decrease over time.

Summary: The study identifies 41 human monoclonal antibodies that recognize the N-terminal domain of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and exhibit strong neutralizing activity. These antibodies inhibit cell-to-cell fusion, activate effector functions, and protect animals from virus challenge, highlighting the importance of NTD-specific neutralizing antibodies for protective immunity and vaccine development. Several SARS-CoV-2 variants with mutations in the NTD supersite suggest ongoing selective pressure on the virus.

SARS-CoV-2 mutations acquired in mink reduce antibody-mediated neutralization

Markus Hoffmann et al.

Summary: Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from humans to farmed mink and back raises concerns of genetic variants with potential increased threat to human health. Mutations in the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 from mink allow efficient entry into human cells and inhibition by ACE2, while mutation Y453F reduces neutralization by certain antibodies authorized for COVID-19 therapy. Antibody responses induced by infection or specific treatments might not offer adequate protection against SARS-CoV-2 variants from mink.

Immune correlates of protection by mRNA-1273 vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 in nonhuman primates

Kizzmekia S. Corbett et al.

Summary: In nonhuman primates (NHPs), vaccination with mRNA-1273 induces dose-dependent antibody responses, leading to a significant reduction in viral replication post SARS-CoV-2 challenge. Replication of the virus correlates strongly with antibody levels and neutralizing activity, with lower levels required in the lower airway than in the upper airway. Passive transfer of mRNA-1273-induced IgG is sufficient to provide protection, indicating that humoral immune responses induced by mRNA-1273 vaccine are effective against SARS-CoV-2 in NHPs.
