Immune Evasion by the Highly Mutated SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Variant
2022
Overview
The currently circulating SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant posed a big challenge for the ongoing pandemic prevention and control activities. The critical concern is whether the current vaccines and therapeutics are capable of fully controlling this variant. Omicron has several mutations mainly concentrated in the receptor-binding domain (RBD) which is the main target for neutralizing antibodies and vaccine-elicited sera, and it is reportedly evading immunity. However, the degree to which the Omicron evades immunity and its impact on the prevention and control activities requires recent and continuous scrutiny. Despite several reports are available, updated and recent discussions are important to tackle the ongoing pandemic especially due to the emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants. Therefore, new insights on designing effective preventive and control measures is utmost important. This review discusses the extent of immune evasion by the Omicron variant and forwards important directions which could have valuable contributions to design alternative strategies in fighting against SARS-Co-2 variants. Keywords: SARSC-CoV-2, variant of concern, VOC, Omicron variant, immune evasion, receptor-binding domain, RBD
