According to the currently available data, there are positive cases of this strain. There are 32 in the UK and 35 in Denmark. It is a transition with the more famous English version and transversal mutations for Brazil and South Africans. According to the Scottish University report the one that is most concerned is the E484K as it will significantly change the structure Protein spike.

The one the virus uses to bind human cells.

Mutation will create infection Capable of developing antibodies As shown by the surge in impressions recorded in Manaus, the Novavax vaccine has lower efficacy in South Africa (49.4% against the usual 89.3%). At the moment it is not yet clear whether this variant, such as the British found earlier, can cause more infectious or more or less severe disease.

“We still don’t know how well it will spread, but will it succeed It can be assumed that immunity will be attenuated by any previous vaccines or infections.Said Professor Simon Clarke, lecturer in cell microbiology at the University of Reading. He explained that any strain carrying the E484K mutation should be tested, as it would appear Antagonize antibodies And thus make the herd immunity more distant.
