| - | The pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has remained a medical threat due to the evolution of multiple variants that acquire resistance to vaccines and prior infection. Therefore, it is imperative to discover monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that neutralize a broad range of SARS-CoV-2 variants. A stabilized spike glycoprotein was used to enrich antigen-specific B cells from an individual with a primary Gamma variant infection. Five mAbs selected from those B cells showed considerable neutralizing potency against multiple variants, with COVA309-35 being the most potent against the autologous virus, as well as Omicron BA.1 and BA.2, and COVA309-22 having binding and neutralization activity against Omicron BA.4/5, BQ.1.1, and XBB.1. When combining the COVA309 mAbs as cocktails or bispecific antibodies, the breadth and potency were improved. In addition, the mechanism of cross-neutralization of the COVA309 mAbs was elucidated by structural analysis. Altogether these data indicate that a Gamma-infected individual can develop broadly neutralizing antibodies. | ||
