Notably, LP.8.1 and BA.3.2 showed the largest reduction, with 3.4-fold and 3.6-fold decreases in neutralization titer compared to JN.1, respectively; however, these differences did not reach statistical significance ( P = 0.122 for LP.8.1; P = 0.09 for BA.3.2) due to the limited sample size ( n = 7).
