Reduced neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.7 variant by convalescent and vaccine seraThe SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.7 variant is not neutralized as easily as the original form of the virus. Some public antibodies cannot neutralize B.1.1.7, due to altered light chain contacts with residue 501. However, B.1.1.7 does not show widespread escape from monoclonal antibodies, natural antibody responses, or vaccines.The SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.7 variant is not neutralized as easily as the original form of the virus.
