Atlas of SARS-CoV-2 Antiviral Defenses

Very recommendable! Impressive research! The science of virology received such a booster shot from the global pandemic! We have probably seen rapid and significant advances in such a short time like never before with the appearance of a new pathogen.

"The researchers created an atlas that charts how 152 different antibodies attack a major piece of the SARS-CoV-2 machinery, the spike protein as it has evolved since 2020. The research identifies antibodies that are able to neutralize the newer strains, while identifying regions of the spike protein that have become more resistant to attack.  

The work can help illuminate strategies for broadly protective COVID-19 booster vaccines. ..."
