biostudies-literatureUnknown26(4)Guo HSARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.2.75 subvariant has evolved to a series of progeny variants carrying several additional mutations in the receptor-binding domain (RBD). Here, we investigated whether and how these single mutations based on BA.2.75 affect the neutralization of currently available anti-RBD monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with well-defined structural information. Approximately 34% of mAbs maintained effective neutralizing activities against BA.2.75, consistent with those against BA.2, BA.4/5, and BA.2.12.1. Single additional R346T, K356T, L452R, or F486S mutations further facilitated BA.2.75-related progeny variants to escape from broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) at different degree. Only LY-CoV1404 (bebtelovimab) displayed a first-class neutralization potency and breadth against all tested Omicron subvariants. Overall, these data make a clear connection between virus escape and antibody recognizing antigenic epitopes, which facilitate to develop next-generation universal bnAbs against emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants.iScience106283https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9969747biostudies-literatureAdditional mutations based on Omicron BA.2.75 mediate its further evasion from broadly neutralizing antibodies.PMC9969747Jiang JZhang ZGuo HGe XZhou BCheng LShen SFan QJu BfalseAdditional mutations based on Omicron BA.2.75 mediate its further evasion from broadly neutralizing antibodies.SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.2.75 subvariant has evolved to a series of progeny variants carrying several additional mutations in the receptor-binding domain (RBD).
