Soon after the emergence and global spread of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron lineage BA.1, another Omicron lineage, BA.2, began outcompeting BA.1. The results of statistical analysis showed that the effective reproduction number of BA.2 is 1.4-fold higher than that of BA.1. Neutralization experiments revealed that immunity induced by COVID vaccines widely administered to human populations is not effective against BA.2, similar to BA.1, and that the antigenicity of BA.2 is notably different from that of BA.1. Cell culture experiments showed that the BA.2 spike confers higher replication efficacy in human nasal epithelial cells and is more efficient in mediating syncytia formation than the BA.1 spike. Furthermore, infection experiments using hamsters indicated that the BA.2 spike-bearing virus is more pathogenic than the BA.1 spike-bearing virus. Altogether, the results of our multiscale investigations suggest that the risk of BA.2 to global health is potentially higher than that of BA.1.

SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.2 刺突的病毒学特征

在 SARS-CoV-2 Omicron 谱系 BA.1 出现并在全球传播后不久,另一个 Omicron 谱系 BA.2 开始与 BA.1 展开竞争。统计分析结果表明,BA.2的有效繁殖数比BA.1高1.4倍。中和实验表明,广泛应用于人群的 COVID 疫苗诱导的免疫力对 BA.2 无效,类似于 BA.1,并且 BA.2 的抗原性与 BA.1 的抗原性明显不同。细胞培养实验表明,与 BA.1 刺突相比,BA.2 刺突在人鼻上皮细胞中具有更高的复制效率,并且在介导合胞体形成方面更有效。此外,使用仓鼠进行的感染实验表明,BA.2 刺突病毒比 BA.1 刺突病毒更具致病性。共,
