Discussion: Further follow-up will be needed to confirm whether the specific Nab titer against D614G is maintained or not.
Discussion: The neutralizing titer against D614G significantly decreased in sera of 6-8 months post onset compared to those of 1-3 months post onset ( Figure 3B ).
Discussion: The purpose of this study was to examine the longevity of Nab activity of COVID-19 convalescent sera against D614G, and their neutralizing breadth against B.1.1.7, P.1, and B.1.351.
Discussion: These observations suggested that all participants in this study were likely to be infected with D614G.
Discussion: This reason might be that weak immune-response against SARS-CoV-2 lead to the low Nab titers of 'patients without pneumonia' against PMID: 35296517

RT-LAMP assay for rapid detection of the R203M mutation in SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant.
Introduction: Delta variants have a number of characteristic mutations in their spike protein, including single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) resulting in T19R, R158G, L452R, T478 K, D614G, P681R, and D950N, which are usually chosen as the detection targets of the molecular diagnostics for Delta genotyping.

Fusogenicity and neutralization sensitivity of the SARS-CoV-2 Delta sublineage AY.4.2.
Introduction: The spike protein of Delta contains 9 mutations, when co
Method: The D614G spike plasmid was generated by introducing the mutation into the Wuhan reference strain via Q5 site-directed mutagenesis (NEB).
Result: As previously reported, the D614G and Alpha spike variants were less fusogenic than the Delta spike (Figure 2a, b, Figure S2).
Result: We previously reported using this assay that the spike protein of Alpha had the highest affinity to ACE2, followed by Delta and then by D614G.
Result: We thus analyzed the fusogenic activity of the AY.4.2 spike and compared it to the D614G, Alpha and Delta spikes.

Abstract: Their genotyping performed on RNA extracts highlighted the presence of del69/70, N501Y, A570D, and 1841A > G (D614G) sequence variants, all indicative of VOC 202012/01-lineage B.1.1.7, suggesting a common source of infection.
Result: The genotyping performed first by Real-time PCR and then confirmed by direct sequencing proved the presence of del69/70, N501Y, A570D, and 1841A > G (D614G) variants, indicative of VOC 202,012/01-lineage B.
