Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how different SARS-CoV-2 variants, particularly Omicron, respond to vaccine-induced antibodies and their infectivity levels compared to earlier strains like Delta and hCoV-19.
- - Findings reveal that Omicron variants BA.1 and BA.2 show higher infectivity and reduced sensitivity to neutralizing antibodies from a third dose of the Pfizer-BNT162b2 vaccine, while certain mutations in the spike protein affect cell fusion capabilities but not neutralization efficiency.
- - The research highlights that while mutations in the spike protein influence viral fusion and syncytia formation, the overall response to the third vaccine dose indicates significant protection against severe outcomes.
