A study of antibodies from SARSCoV2 Beta variant-infected patients revealed that while some antibodies bind both Beta & wild-type virus, others are Beta-specific. The results emphasize the antigenic complexity defining antibody immunity against SARS-CoV-2

We thank all study participants who devoted samples and time to our research, Dr. Kim Stahlberg and Meilan Zuo for patient recruitment, Stefanie Bandura, Matthias Sillmann, Doreen Brandl, Patricia Tscheak, and Sabine Engl for excellent technical assistance, and Dr. Marcel A. Müller and Dr. Daniela Niemeyer for support with BSL3 work. We acknowledge BIAFFIN GmbH & Co.
