Abstract

Background: Infections by several DNA viruses can severely impact outcomes in paediatric immunocompromised patients. Current testing, which is generally limited to singleplex qPCR assays, can miss both common and rarer viruses if they are not targeted. Objectives: To evaluate the performance of the Galileo Viral Panel (Galileo), a sample-to-result shotgun metagenomics platform for the detection and quantification of 12 DNA viruses, compared to standard of care qPCR assays. Study design: A clinical performance evaluation was carried out using 43 prospectively collected EDTA plasma samples positive for one or more DNA viruses. Agreement between assays was assessed by overall, positive, and negative percent agreement, as well as quantitative agreement by linear regression and Bland-Altman analysis. Results: Overall positive percent agreement was 84% (95% CI: 76%-90%), and negative percent agreement was 95% (95% CI: 92%-97%). There was a high correlation between Galileo and qPCR for ADV, CMV, EBV, and VZV (R2 = 0.91) and a mean difference by Bland Altman of -0.43 log10 IU or cp/ml (95% limits of agreement, -1.37 to 0.51). In addition, there was a high correlation between Galileo Signal Score and qPCR for TTV (R2 = 0.85). Conclusion: We observed high qualitative and quantitative agreement between qPCR and Galileo. Galileo identified additional viruses that were not tested with routine qPCR and could impact clinical outcomes.

Abstract

Summary: We report severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike ΔH69/V70 in multiple independent lineages, often occurring after acquisition of receptor binding motif replacements such as N439K and Y453F, known to increase binding affinity to the ACE2 receptor and confer antibody escape. In vitro, we show that, although ΔH69/V70 itself is not an antibody evasion mechanism, it increases infectivity associated with enhanced incorporation of cleaved spike into virions. ΔH69/V70 is able to partially rescue infectivity of spike proteins that have acquired N439K and Y453F escape mutations by increased spike incorporation. In addition, replacement of the H69 and V70 residues in the Alpha variant B.1.1.7 spike (where ΔH69/V70 occurs naturally) impairs spike incorporation and entry efficiency of the B.1.1.7 spike pseudotyped virus. Alpha variant B.1.1.7 spike mediates faster kinetics of cell-cell fusion than wild-type Wuhan-1 D614G, dependent on ΔH69/V70. Therefore, as ΔH69/V70 compensates for immune escape mutations that impair infectivity, continued surveillance for deletions with functional effects is warranted.

Abstract

Global dispersal and increasing frequency of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein variant D614G are suggestive of a selective advantage but may also be due to a random founder effect. We investigate the hypothesis for positive selection of spike D614G in the United Kingdom using more than 25,000 whole genome SARS-CoV-2 sequences. Despite the availability of a large dataset, well represented by both spike 614 variants, not all approaches showed a conclusive signal of positive selection. Population genetic analysis indicates that 614G increases in frequency relative to 614D in a manner consistent with a selective advantage. We do not find any indication that patients infected with the spike 614G variant have higher COVID-19 mortality or clinical severity, but 614G is associated with higher viral load and younger age of patients. Significant differences in growth and size of 614G phylogenetic clusters indicate a need for continued study of this variant., Graphical Abstract, Highlights • Increasing frequency of SARS-CoV-2 D614G is consistent with a selective advantage • Phylodynamic analyses do not show significantly different growth of D614G clusters • There is no association of D614G replacement with greater severity of infection • The D614G replacement is associated with higher viral loads and younger patient age, Analysis of the spread and frequency of SARS-CoV-2 D614G in the United Kingdom suggests a selective advantage for this strain that is associated with higher viral loads in younger patients but not higher COVID-19 clinical severity or mortality.
