Two new SARS-CoV-2 lineages with the N501Y mutation in the receptor-binding domain of the spike protein spread rapidly in the United Kingdom. We estimated that the earlier 501Y lineage without amino acid deletion Δ69/Δ70, circulating mainly between early September and mid-November, was 10% (6-13%) more transmissible than the 501N lineage, and the 501Y lineage with amino acid deletion Δ69/Δ70, circulating since late September, was 75% (70-80%) more transmissible than the 501N lineage.
两种具有受体结合域 N501Y 突变的新型 SARS-CoV-2 谱系在英国迅速传播。我们估计,早期的没有氨基酸缺失 Δ69/Δ70 的 501Y 谱系,主要在 9 月初至 11 月中旬之间传播,比 501N 谱系的传染性高 10%(6-13%),而自 9 月下旬以来传播的具有氨基酸缺失 Δ69/Δ70 的 501Y 谱系,比 501N 谱系的传染性高 75%(70-80%)。
