A Discernable Increase in the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 R.1 Lineage Carrying an E484K Spike Protein Mutation in Japan
2021
Abstract Three COVID-19 waves in Japan have been characterized by the presence of distinct PANGO lineages (B.1.1. 162, B.1.1.284, and B.1.1.214). Recently, in addition to the B.1.1.7 lineage, which shows 25% abundance, an R.1 lineage carrying the E484K mutation in the spike protein was found to show up to 40% predominance.
