Fig. 1. Neutralization of Omicron lineage strains by mAbs.
a One protomer of the SARS-CoV-2 spike trimer (PDB: 7C2L) is depicted with BA.2 variant amino acid substitutions labelled and shown as red spheres. The N-terminal domain (NTD), RBD, RBM, and S2 are colored in yellow, green, magenta, and blue, respectively. All mutated residues in the BA.2 RBD relative to WA1/2020 are indicated in b, and the BA.2 RBD bound by mAbs S309 (orange, PDB: 6WPS) (b), AZD8895 (green, PDB: 7L7D) (c), and AZD1061 (purple, PDB:7L7E) (d) are shown. BA.2 mutations in the respective epitopes of each mAb are shaded red, whereas those outside the epitope are shaded green. e Multiple sequence alignment showing the epitope footprints of each mAb on the SARS-CoV-2 RBD (orange, S309; green, AZD8895; purple, AZD1061). The WA1/2020 RBD is shown in the last row with relative variant sequence changes indicated. Red circles below the sequence alignment indicate hACE2 contact residues on the SARS-CoV-2 RBD43. Structural analysis and depictions were generated using UCSF ChimeraX44. f–i Neutralization curves in Vero-TMPRSS2 cells with the indicated SARS-CoV-2 strain and mAb. The average of three to four experiments performed in technical duplicate are shown. j–m Comparison of EC50 values for the indicated mAb against D614G, BA.1, BA.1.1, and BA.2 viruses. Data are the average of three experiments, error bars indicate standard error of the mean (SEM), and the dashed line indicates the upper limit of detection (one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s test; ns, not significant, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001). n Summary of the EC50 values for each mAb against the indicated SARS-CoV-2 strain. o Summary of the fold-change in EC50 values for each mAb against the indicated Omicron strain relative to SARS-CoV-2 D614G.
