Immune evasion, infectivity, and fusogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 BA.2.86 and FLip variantsThe SARS-CoV-2 BA.2.86 variant is less resistant to neutralization by bivalent vaccine-induced antibodies compared to FLip and other XBB variants but more resistant to mAb S309. BA.2.86 shows higher fusogenicity and infectivity in CaLu-3 cells compared to that in 293T-ACE2 cells.The SARS-CoV-2 BA.2.86 variant is less resistant to neutralization by bivalent vaccine-induced antibodies compared to FLip and other XBB variants but more resistant to mAb S309.
