Method: The
S gene mutation plasmids (plasmid 1, containing the HV69-70del,
K417N,
E484K,
N501Y,
D614G, and
P681H mutations, and plasmid 2, containing the
L452R,
E484Q, and
P681R mutations) of SARS-CoV-2 variants (Alpha, Beta, Iota, Epsilon, Gamma, and Delta) were synthesized by Sangon Biotech (Shanghai, China).
