Antibody evasion and receptor binding of SARS-CoV-2 RW.1.1
Kristin Daniel, Hsiang Hong, Chien-Yu Huang…·Ian A. Mellis
This study evaluates antibody evasion and ACE2 receptor engagement of SARS-CoV-2 variant RW.1.1, finding reduced receptor binding but no increased serum resistance compared to other variants.

SARS-CoV-2 BA.3.2.2 is more evasive of neutralization by sera from young children
Madeline Wu, Hsiang Hong, Yicheng Guo…·Ian A. Mellis
This study finds that young children have lower neutralizing antibody titers against BA.3.2.2 compared to adults, despite similar titers against dominant variants, suggesting age-related differences in susceptibility.
