The impact of clade B lineage 5 MERS coronaviruses spike mutations from 2015 to 2023 on virus entry and replication competence

Ray T. Y. So, Kenrie P. Y. Hui, John CW Ho, Kaman K. M. Lau, Ziqi Zhou, Michael C. W. Chan, Leo L. M. Poon, Malik J. S. Peiris

This study examines how mutations in the spike protein of clade B lineage 5 MERS-CoV from 2015 to 2023 affect virus entry and replication, finding reduced entry and replication in 2019 variants but not in 2023 ones.
