Risk of rapid evolutionary escape from biomedical interventions targeting SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.

Risk of rapid evolutionary escape from biomedical interventions targeting SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.

The spike protein receptor-binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 is the molecular target for many vaccines and antibody-based prophylactics aimed at bringing COVID-19 under control. Such a narrow molecular focus raises the specter of viral immune evasion as a potential failure mode for these biomedical...
