Hunt on for future Covid mutations that cause treatments to lose potency – The Guardian
UK genetics consortium to monitor changes in virus to spot resistance to antibodies
Scientists are to increase surveillance for new coronavirus mutations amid concerns that future strains of the virus could develop at least partial resistance to antibody treatments and Covid-19 vaccines.
There is no evidence that the mutations seen so far could help the virus evade vaccines or treatments now in development, but genetic analysis of circulating strains suggests that partially-resistant variants can emerge and spread among humans.
