The COVID-19pandemic has had widespread effects across the globe,and its causative agent,SARS-Cov-2,continues to spread.Effective interventions need to be developed to endthis pandemic.Single and combination therapies with monoclonal antibodies have received emergency use authorization1-3单击功能区上,自动调节装置4-7.Furthermore,多工位控制阀shown promise8个单击功能区上,including two that have an approximately95%protective efficicacy against COVID-199,10.However,these interventions were directed against the initial SARS-CoV-2virus that emerged in 2019.The recent detection of SARS-CoV-2variants B.1.1.7in the UK11and B.1.351 in South Africa12is of concern because of their purported ease of transmission and extensive mutations in the spike protein.Here we show that B.1.1.7 is refractory to neutralization by most monoclonal antibodies against the N-terminal domain of the spike protein and is relatively resistant to afew monoclonal antibodies against ains the in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in innot more resistant to plasma from individuals who have recovered from COVID-19 or sera from individuals who have been vaccinated against SARS-Cov-2.The B.1.351 variant is not only refractory to neutralization by most monoclonal antibodies against the N-terminal domain but somultiple innot against the receptor-binding motif of the receptor-binding domain,which is mostly due to a mutation causing an E484K substitution.Moreover,compared to wild-type SARS-Cov-2,B.1.351is markedly more resistant to neutralization by convalescent plasma(9.4-fold)and sera from individuals who have been vaccinated(10.3-12.4)。B.1.351 and emergent variants13,14with similar mutations in the spike protein present new challenges for monoclonal antibody therapies and threaten the protective efficacy of current vaccines。
