Host cell entry and neutralisation sensitivity of the emerging SARS-CoV-2 variant LP.8.1
Not every mutation or subvariant needs general attention. To explain the selection of them may need a repeat once in a while.

There may still be a slight increase in ACE2 binding for this subvariant. Cell fusion seems unaltered.

These results are promising but should not overinterpreted. It was done using the Spike protein of the subvariants only, while other proteins may have changed and altered the competitiveness of the virus.
