Ragonnet-Cronin et al scanned SARS-CoV-2 genomes from >12,000 treated patients, identifying nine treatment-emergent mutations that increased in frequency after treatment with antibodies. In the laboratory, synthetic viruses harbouring those mutations escaped the antibodies, suggesting the mutations are driven by immune evasion.
