摘 要:In a recent study in Science,Bowen et al.1 report that mutations in Omicron sublineage’s spike protein enhance ACE2 binding,impair fusogenicity,and dampen the neutralizing activity of antibodies after vaccination or *** data describe how Omicron and especially the BA.5 variant evade neutralizing antibody responses and argue for using mRNA booster vaccination to increase immunity.
