  "summary": "The continued evolution of SARS-CoV-2 is shaped by changes in antibody evasion and receptor engagement that influence viral fitness. RW.1.1, an emerging descendant of XFJ carrying five additional spike substitutions, has recently increased in frequency in North America. Here, we characterized the serum antibody evasion, monoclonal antibody sensitivity, and ACE2 receptor engagement of RW.1.1.…",
