    Antibodies
    SentencesResources
    Detection of antibodies specific to SARS-CoV-2: Levels of anti-S and anti-RBD IgM, IgA and IgG antibodies were determined by ELISA as previously described6.
    anti-S
    suggested: None
    anti-RBD IgM , IgA and IgG
    suggested: None
    Quantification and Statistical analysis: Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparisons between groups in anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels, neutralization titers and numbers of specific memory B and T cells.
    anti-SARS-CoV-2
    suggested: None
    Experimental Models: Cell Lines
    SentencesResources
    Production of SARS-CoV-2 RBD and S proteins: RBD-His protein was expressed in Expi293 cells and purified on Ni-NTA resin (#88221, Thermo Fisher) followed by size-exclusion chromatography on a Superdex 200 gel filtration column in PBS.51 S1-S2-His (referred as S) protein from Wuhan-Hu-1 strain and RBD from variants (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta) were expressed baculovirus-free in High Five insect cells52 and purified on HisTrap excel column (Cytiva) followed by preparative size exclusion chromatography on 16/600 Superdex 200 pg column (Cytiva)53,54.
    Expi293
    suggested: RRID:CVCL_D615)
    Software and Algorithms
    SentencesResources
    High-binding Corning Half area plates (Corning #3690) were coated overnight at 4°C with purified S or RBD protein derived from wild-type virus (1.7 μg/ml for IgM and IgG; 2.0 μg/ml for IgA) in PBS.
    IgG
    suggested: (DSHB Cat# LEP100 IgG, RRID:AB_528124)
    Results of ELISpot and FluoroSpot assays were evaluated using an IRIS-reader and analyzed by the IRIS software version 1.1.9 (Mabtech AB).
    IRIS
    suggested: None
    All analyses and data plotting were performed using GraphPad or R version 3.6.1.
    GraphPad
    suggested: (GraphPad Prism, RRID:SCR_002798)

    Results from OddPub: We did not detect open data. We also did not detect open code. Researchers are encouraged to share open data when possible (see Nature blog).


    Results from LimitationRecognizer: An explicit section about the limitations of the techniques employed in this study was not found. We encourage authors to address study limitations.

    Results from TrialIdentifier: No clinical trial numbers were referenced.


    Results from Barzooka: We did not find any issues relating to the usage of bar graphs.


    Results from JetFighter: We did not find any issues relating to colormaps.


    Results from rtransparent:

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
