Clinical laboratories continue to report positive COVID-19 tests for individuals that have been vaccinated and even previously infected with the same variant of the coronavirus Researchers across the globe continue to study the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and its many variants. Their goals are to curb the spread of the disease and develop new therapies and treatments for optimal patient outcomes. Now, a study conducted by scientists at the University of Missouri (UM) provides deeper insight into...

University of Missouri Research Team Identifies 46 Mutations Specific to the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Variant That Could lead to Improved Clinical Laboratory Tests, Treatments, and Vaccines

Many of the mutations were found at sites on the spike protein where antibodies bind, which may explain why the Omicron variant is more infectious than previous variants Scientists at the University of Missouri (UM) now have a better understanding of why the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant is more infectious than previous variants and that knowledge may lead to improved antivirals and clinical laboratory tests for COVID-19. As the Omicron variant of the coronavirus spread across the globe,...
