Immune Evasion, Cell-Cell Fusion, and Spike Stability of the SARS-CoV-2 XEC Variant: Role of Glycosylation Mutations at the N-terminal Domain

This study examines how glycosylation mutations in the NTD of the SARS-CoV-2 XEC variant affect neutralizing antibody responses, cell-cell fusion, and spike stability.

Neutralization and Stability of JN.1-derived LB.1, KP.2.3, KP.3 and KP.3.1.1 Subvariants

This study evaluates neutralization, infectivity, and stability of JN.1-derived SARS-CoV-2 subvariants, finding that DelS31 mutation in the NTD reduces nAb titers, impairs infectivity, and increases spike stability.

Characteristics of JN.1-derived SARS-CoV-2 subvariants SLip, FLiRT, and KP.2 in neutralization escape, infectivity and membrane fusion

This study evaluates neutralization resistance, infectivity, and membrane fusion of JN.1-derived SARS-CoV-2 subvariants SLip, FLiRT, and KP.2, identifying key mutations affecting antibody sensitivity and spike function.
