SARS-CoV-2 vaccine breakthrough infections (VBI) by Omicron variant (B.1.1.529) and consequences in structural and functional impact.

This study investigated the efficacy of existing vaccines against hospitalization and infection due to the Omicron variant of COVID-19, particularly for those who received two doses of Moderna or Pfizer vaccines and one dose of Johnson & Johnson vaccine or who were vaccinated more than five months before. A total of 36 variants in Omicron's spike protein, targeted by all three vaccinations, have made antibodies less effective at neutralizing the virus. The genotyping of the SARS-CoV-2 viral sequence revealed clinically significant variants such as E484K in three genetic mutations (T95I, D614G, and del142-144). A woman showed two of these mutations, indicating a potential risk of infection after successful immunization, as recently reported by Hacisuleyman (2021). We examine the effects of mutations on domains (NID, RBM, and SD2) found at the interfaces of the spike domains Omicron B.1.1529, Delta/B.1.1529, Alpha/B.1.1.7, VUM B.1.526, B.1.575.2, and B.1.1214 (formerly VOI Iota). We tested the affinity of Omicron for ACE2 and found that the wild- and mutant-spike proteins were using atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. According to the binding free energies calculated during mutagenesis, the ACE2 bound Omicron spikes more strongly than the wild strain SARS-CoV-2. T95I, D614G, and E484K are three substitutions that significantly contribute to RBD, corresponding to ACE2 binding energies and a doubling of the electrostatic potential of Omicron spike proteins. The Omicron appears to bind to ACE2 with greater affinity, increasing its infectivity and transmissibility. The spike virus was designed to strengthen antibody immune evasion through binding while boosting receptor binding by enhancing IgG and IgM antibodies that stimulate human ß-cell, as opposed to the wild strain, which has more vital stimulation of both antibodies.

Monoclonal antibody designed for SARS-nCoV-2 spike protein of receptor binding domain on antigenic targeted epitopes for inhibition to prevent viral entry.

SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome, is caused by a novel coronavirus (COVID-19). This situation has compelled many pharmaceutical R&D companies and public health research sectors to focus their efforts on developing effective therapeutics. SARS-nCoV-2 was chosen as a protein spike to targeted monoclonal antibodies and therapeutics for prevention and treatment. Deep mutational scanning created a monoclonal antibody to characterize the effects of mutations in a variable antibody fragment based on its expression levels, specificity, stability, and affinity for specific antigenic conserved epitopes to the Spike-S-Receptor Binding Domain (RBD). Improved contacts between Fv light and heavy chains and the targeted antigens of RBD could result in a highly potent neutralizing antibody (NAbs) response as well as cross-protection against other SARS-nCoV-2 strains. It undergoes multipoint core mutations that combine enhancing mutations, resulting in increased binding affinity and significantly increased stability between RBD and antibody. In addition, we improved. Structures of variable fragment (Fv) complexed with the RBD of Spike protein were subjected to our established in-silico antibody-engineering platform to obtain enhanced binding affinity to SARS-nCoV-2 and develop ability profiling. We found that the size and three-dimensional shape of epitopes significantly impacted the activity of antibodies produced against the RBD of Spike protein. Overall, because of the conformational changes between RBD and hACE2, it prevents viral entry. As a result of this in-silico study, the designed antibody can be used as a promising therapeutic strategy to treat COVID-19.
