Study reveals SARS-CoV-2 variant is less sensitive to inhibition by antibodies

SARS-CoV-2 is still a major threat to humankind. The constant emergence of variants makes the threat made by the virus difficult to estimate. The SARS-CoV-2 variant B.1.617 spread in India and gave rise to the Delta variant, B.1.617.2, which is now dominant in numerous countries.
