Surface electrostatic shift on spike protein decreased antibody activities against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant - 03/07/22

Highlights |
• | Antibodies against S2 subunit showed higher activity than the antibodies against RBD. |
• | Glycosylation-removing treatments weekly increased antibody activities. |
• | For the original strain, epitopes distribute on electrically neutral areas, which are positively charged in the Omicron strain. |
• | When pH was adjusted to 5.0, antibody titers against Omicron increased exponentially. |
