In Brazil/ a variant called P.1 was first identified in the summer of 2020. This variant has many mutations that may lead to higher transmissibility and infectivity. The Spike (P.1) (SARS-CoV-2) Pseudotyped Lentiviruses were produced with SARS-CoV-2 Variant Spike (Genbank #QHD43416.1 with P.1 mutations (L18F/ T20N/ P26S/ D138Y/ R190S/ K417T/ E484K/ N501Y/ D614G/ H655Y/ T1027I) as the envelope glycoproteins instead of the commonly used VSVG. These pseudovirions contain the firefly luciferase gene driven by a CMV promoter/ therefore/ the spike-mediated cell entry can be measured via luciferase activity. The Spike (P.1) (SARS-CoV-2) pseudotyped lentivirus can be used to measure the activity of neutralizing antibody against SARS-CoV-2 (P.1) variant using a Biosafety Level 2 facility.
