Abstract: Real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction assay detected SARS-CoV-2, which was subsequently identified to be an L452R variant.
Conclusion: Real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction assay (RT-PCR) was positive for SARS-CoV-2, which was subsequently shown to be an L452R variant.

Introduction: In India's second COVID-19 wave, the newest significant variants, Delta and Kappa, were discovered to share two mutations: E484Q and L452R.
Introduction: In the present studies, we have modelled the mutant structures of Spike protein-L452R, T478K and N501Y through in silico mutagenesis technique and evaluated their binding interactions with human ACE2 with respect to the native spike protein using protein-protein docking method.
Method: The interaction of ACE2 with the three mutant models of Spike (L452R, T478K and N501Y) were studied using High
The antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 Beta underscores the antigenic distance to other variants.
Result: For example, Beta-44, sensitive to L452R/T478K mutations, is perched adjacent to residue 478, while mAbs, Beta-20, -22, and -29 suggested to recognize an epitope related to residue 417 are tightly clustered atop this residue.
Result: MAb Beta-26 requires the Beta E484K mutation for potent neutralization but is also exquisitely sensitive to the L452R/T478K mutations found in Delta.
Result: We performed live virus neutralization assays using the following viruses, containing the indicated changes in the RBD: Victoria (an early Wuhan related strain), Alpha (N501Y), Beta (K417N, E484K, and N501Y), Gamma ( PMID: 34915409

Introduction: N439K, L452R, and Y453F showed an increase in ACE2 receptor binding ability.
Introduction: Currently, there are four variants of concerns: Alpha variant (B.1.1.7; RBD mutations: N501Y, A570D), Beta (B.1.351; RBD mutations: K417N, E484K, and N501Y), Gamma (P.1, B.1.1.28.1; RBD mutations: K417N/T, E484K, and N501Y) and Delta (B.1.617.2; RBD mutations: L452R, T478K).

Figure: L18F, E484K, N501Y, D614G, H655Y, and V1176F are associated with the Gamma variant of concern, and S13I, W152C, L452R are associated with the Epsilon variant of concern.
Figure: The substitution L452R is observed in the Epsilon variant of concern.
Figure: The substitutions L452R and S13I appeared separately before the emergence of the variant, while W152C did not.

Introduction: Along with the clade specific mutations, these variants have their own sets of characteristics mutations including several mutations in the S glycoprotein like Delta69-70, Delta144-145, N501Y, A570D, P681H, T716I, S982A, D1118H in the Alpha variant; D80A, D215G, Delta241-243, K417N, E484K, N501Y, A701V in the Beta variant; L18F, T20N, P26S, D138Y, R190S,
A comprehensive overview of identified mutations in SARS CoV-2 spike glycoprotein among Iranian patients.
Introduction: While most of alterations in the receptor binding domain (RBD) reduce infectivity, A475V, L452R, V483A, and F490L variants induce resistance to some neutralizing antibodies.

Discussion: L452R, T478K, N501Y and S477N have been the most frequently detected mutations in RDB.
In vitro data suggest that Indian delta variant B.1.617 of SARS-CoV-2 escapes neutralization by both receptor affinity and immune evasion.
Result: Anti-RBD IgG ELISA shows that antibodies induced by infection with wild-type Wuhan SARS-CoV-2 fail to recognize the RBD mutants L452R/E484Q (variant B.1.617) and E484K (variants P.1 and B.1.351), while recognition of RBDN440K is unaltered.
Result: Binding kinetics of RBD mutants to ACE2 show increased affinity due L452R/E484Q and E484K mutations.
Result: In contrast to direct binding of immune sera to RBD, inhibition of the RBD-ACE2 interaction was more severely affected and reduced for all mutations, most notably E484K<
Reduced sensitivity of the SARS-CoV-2 Lambda variant to monoclonal antibodies and neutralizing antibodies induced by infection and vaccination.
Introduction: The L452R mutation found in the Delta, Kappa, and Epsilon variants has been reported to enhance viral infectivity and fusogenicity while promoting viral replication.
Discussion: In addition, our previous studies revealed that escape of the L452R and E484 K mutants from mAbs frequently occurred in conjunction.
Discussion: Our previous study found that the L452R and F490L mutations can cause escape from mAb X593, consistent with the results of the L452Q and F490S mutations in the present study.
Discussion: Our previous study showed that both F490 and L452 are located at the binding site of mAb 9G11 to the RBD, and experimentally verified that F490L
