C144 (Fig. 2, B and C, and fig. S5A). In addition,
whereas binding of CT-P59 to B.1.351 and P.1
variants was minimally changed (37 to 100%),
neutralization was decreased 26- to 43-fold (Fig.
2, B and C). The remaining antibodies showed
minimal binding changes and a <3.6-fold differ-
ence in neutralization half-maximal inhibitory
concentration (IC 50 ) (Fig. 2, B and C, and fig.
S5A). An evaluation of the antibodies in our
panel against B.1.617.2 revealed minimal changes
in binding and neutralization for all antibodies
except REGN10987, A19-46.1, and LY-CoV555
(Fig. 2, B and C). As previously reported
( 14 , 39 Ð 42 ), REGN10987 binds B.1.617.2 spike
but has 22-fold less neutralization, and the

A Location of variant amino acid substitutions on SARS-CoV-2 spike protein
T a.a.
Fig. 2. SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibody binding and neutralization.
(A) Models of SARS-CoV-2 WA-1 spike protein (PDB: 6XM3) with the locations
of substitutions present in variants indicated as red dots. Also indicated is the
total number of amino acid substitutions and the number and locations of RBD
substitutions in VOC spike proteins. (B) Full-length spike proteins from the indicated
SARS-CoV-2 variants were expressed on the surface of transiently transfected
293T cells, and binding to indicated monoclonal antibodies was assessed by means
of flow cytometry. Antibody mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) binding signal was
adjusted according to spike protein expression level (fig. S4). Shown is the ratio of
the adjusted antibody MFI binding to the indicated spike expressing cells to the
adjusted MFI of the same antibody bound to D614G spike–expressing cells. The data
are expressed as a percentage. Shown is a representative experiment (n=2
replicates). (C) Lentiviruses pseudotyped with SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins from
D614G, B.1.1.7, B.1.351, P.1, B.1.617.2, or B.1.1.529 (BA.1) were incubated with serial
dilutions of the indicated antibodies, and IC 50 and IC 80 values were determined.
S309 was tested on 293 flpin-TMPRSS2-ACE2 cells, whereas all the other antibodies
were tested on 293T-ACE2 cells. Ranges are indicated with white (>10,000 ng/ml),
light blue (>1000 to≤10,000 ng/ml), yellow (>100 to≤1000 ng/ml), orange (>50 to
≤100 ng/ml), red (>10 to≤50 ng/ml), maroon (>1 to≤10 ng/ml), and purple
(≤1 ng/ml). n.d.‡, not determined because of incomplete neutralization that
plateaued at <80% (fig. S5B). Where available, generic names of antibodies
under therapeutic investigation are shown. Gray shading indicates antibodies that
previously or currently have received Emergency Use Authorization from the US
Food and Drug Administration. Generic names with an asterisk indicate therapeutic
antibody products with the same binding regions as those of the antibodies being
tested but containing amino acid changes in their Fc domains.
