This study examines virological parameters of SARS-CoV-2 variants correlating with spike protein fusogenicity, finding strong links with S1/S2 cleavage efficiency and plaque size.
Tomokazu Tamura, Takashi Irie, Sayaka Deguchi…·Takasuke Fukuhara
The paper analyzes the virological characteristics of the SARS-CoV-2 XBB.1.5 variant, showing reduced pathogenicity and impaired MHC expression due to mutations in ORF8 and S.

This study investigates the virological characteristics of the SARS-CoV-2 BA.2.86 variant, finding it has higher reproduction number than EG.5.1 but lower pathogenicity and replication capacity compared to BA.2.
