SARS-CoV-2 variant biology: immune escape, transmission and fitness

Alessandro G. Carabelli et al.

Summary: The emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs) in late 2020 marked a major change in the virus's adaptation to humans, resulting in increased transmission rates and ability to evade immune responses. These VOCs, designated Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Omicron, rapidly became dominant globally, outcompeting previous variants. The success of VOCs can be attributed to the altered properties of the virus and changes in antigenicity, influenced by both vaccination and prior infection.

Evolution of the SARS-CoV-2 omicron variants BA.1 to BA.5: Implications for immune escape and transmission

Lok Bahadur Shrestha et al.

Summary: The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 is a major public health concern due to its high infectivity and antibody evasion. It has rapidly become the dominant variant worldwide and has evolved through several variants. The evolution of Omicron is thought to be influenced by zoonotic spillage, infection in immunocompromised individuals, and undiagnosed spread in the community. Current research suggests that Omicron is more infectious than the original Wuhan-Hu-1 and Delta variants, but less severe in terms of its impact on lung tissue. Vaccines have shown reduced effectiveness against Omicron, but booster shots can improve efficacy. Broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibodies have limited effectiveness against Omicron, with some exceptions. New variants, such as BA.4 and BA.5, are emerging and are reported to be more transmissible and resistant to immunity generated by previous variants and monoclonal antibodies.

Recurrent SARS-CoV-2 mutations in immunodeficient patients

Sam A. J. Wilkinson et al.

Summary: Long-term severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections in immunodeficient patients are an important source of variation for the virus but are understudied. This study aims to rectify this and study the genomics of this patient group. Spike gene receptor-binding domain and N-terminal domain (NTD) were identified as mutation hotspots, and numerous mutations associated with variants of concern were observed to emerge recurrently. Additionally, a mutation in the envelope gene, T30I, was determined to be the second most frequent recurrently occurring mutation in persistent infections. Many recurrent mutations in immunodeficient individuals are associated with ACE2 affinity, immune escape, or viral packaging optimization.

Summary: This study analyzed the neutralizing effects of serum samples from COVID-19 patients and individuals vaccinated with SARS-CoV-2 vaccines on coronaviruses transmitted by bats and pangolins. The researchers found that one bat coronavirus strain (RaTG13) exhibited higher neutralizing activity and lower affinity for binding to the human ACE2 receptor. This study provides insights into how pre-existing immunity to SARS-CoV-2 may protect against related sarbecoviruses.

SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.5: Evolving tropism and evasion of potent humoral responses and resistance to clinical immunotherapeutics relative to viral variants of concern

Anupriya Aggarwal et al.

Summary: The study reveals that all Omicron variants significantly evade neutralizing antibodies from a range of vaccination and/or convalescent responses. The potency of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies is also reduced and varies across Omicron lineages. The key difference of the BA.5 variant from other Omicron sub-variants is the reversion to using the well-known ACE2-TMPRSS2 pathway, which was efficiently utilized by pre-Omicron lineages. Monitoring the impact of these changes on transmission and disease severity is crucial for ongoing tracking and management of Omicron waves globally.

Impact of circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants on mRNA vaccine-induced immunity

Carolina Lucas et al.

Summary: This study found that individuals previously infected with the virus had higher antibody titres post-vaccination compared to those who were uninfected, but both groups reached comparable levels of neutralization responses to the ancestral strain after the second vaccine dose. Comprehensive analysis of 16 locally circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants revealed varying degrees of reduction in neutralization capacity associated with specific mutations in the spike gene, suggesting vaccine boosters as a relevant future strategy to counteract the impact of emerging variants on antibody neutralizing activity.

Within-host evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in an immunosuppressed COVID-19 patient as a source of immune escape variants

Sebastian Weigang et al.

Summary: In a longitudinal case study, researchers demonstrate that SARS-CoV-2 variants with reduced sensitivity to neutralizing antibodies can evolve within persistently infected immunosuppressed patients. The study suggests that immunocompromised patients may serve as a potential source for the emergence of harmful variants, although immune control against these variants can still be achieved in some cases through the generation of neutralizing antibodies upon lowering immunosuppressive treatment.
