This study evaluates the effectiveness of LP.8.1-targeted mRNA vaccines in boosting neutralizing antibodies and reducing immune imprinting from ancestral SARS-CoV-2 strains.

This study compares antibody evasion and receptor binding of SARS-CoV-2 subvariants, finding that LP.8.1.1 has high ACE2 affinity, while NB.1.8.1 and XFG show greater antibody evasion.

This study assesses whether 2025 COVID-19 vaccines need updating by testing neutralizing antibody titers against emerging variants in individuals vaccinated with KP.2-based mRNA vaccines.

This study evaluates KP.2-based monovalent mRNA vaccines and finds they robustly boost neutralizing antibodies against current SARS-CoV-2 variants, including KP.3.1.1 and XEC.

This study examines how recurrent spike mutations in SARS-CoV-2 JN.1 sublineages affect immune evasion, ACE2 affinity, and infectivity, identifying growth advantages in specific sublineages.
