Characterization and Function of Glycans on the Spike Proteins of SARS-CoV-2 Variants of Concern

ABSTRACT SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs) pose a great challenge to viral prevention and treatment owing to spike (S) protein mutations, which enhance their infectivity and capacity for immune evasion. However, whether these S protein mutations affect glycosylation patterns and thereby influenc...
