Emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants diminishes the efficacy vaccines and antiviral monoclonal antibodies. Continued development immunotherapies vaccine immunogens resilient to viral evolution is therefore necessary. Using coldspot-guided antibody discovery, a screening approach that focuses on portions virus spike glycoprotein are both functionally relevant averse change, we identified human neutralizing antibodies highly conserved epitopes....
