  • Neutralizing antibody titres against certain SARS-CoV-2 variants, such as B.1.351 (Beta) and B.1.617.2 (Delta), were lower than those against the parental strain WA1/2020.

    “As previously reported for other vaccines29–33, the neutralizing antibody titres against certain SARS-CoV-2 variants, such as the B.1.351 (Beta) and B.1.617.2 (Delta) variants, were lower than those against the parental strain WA1/2020.”

    From Optimization of non-coding regions for a non-modified mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (2022) · cites this paper as [31]

    In the main text (page not specified), the paper reports lower neutralizing titers against B.1.351 in serum from mRNA-1273 recipients, using the original Wuhan-Hu-1 isolate as a reference. It does not report results for B.1.617.2 (Delta) or name WA1/2020 as the comparator. (LLM, conf=0.88)

  • The impact of B.1.1.7 mutations on neutralizing antibody titers is moderate.

    “In general, the impact of B.1.1.7 mutations on neutralizing antibody titers is moderate.15, 16, 17, 18,20,24”
  • Mutations in B.1.351 and P.1 variants are associated with the more pronounced loss of neutralizing capacity.

    “In contrast, mutations in B.1.351 and P.1 variants are associated with the more pronounced loss of neutralizing capacity.15,16,22,23,25”
  • Reduced sensitivity to vaccine-elicited nAbs has been reported for other B.1.351 variants.

    “Reduced sensitivity to vaccine-elicited nAbs has been reported for other B.1.351 variants (66, 83, 84).”
  • B.1.351 was the most resistant to neutralization by convalescent or vaccinee sera, with 6- to 15-fold less neutralization activity for sera from individuals immunized with vaccines based on the WA1 strain.

    “In multiple studies, B.1.351 was the most resistant to neutralization by convalescent or vaccinee sera, with 6- to 15-fold less neutralization activity for sera from individuals immunized with vaccines based on the virus strain first described in January 2020 (Wuhan-Hu-1, spike also called WA1) (2–9).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
