    Experimental Models: Cell Lines
    SentencesResources
    In brief, different SARS-CoV-2 pseudotyped viruses were generated through co-transfection of 293T cells with 2 plasmids, pSARS-CoV-2 S and pNL4-3Luc_Env_Vpr, carrying the optimized SARS-CoV-2 S gene and a human immunodeficiency virus type 1 backbone, respectively.
    293T
    suggested: None
    The plasma-virus mixtures were then added into pre-seeded HEK293T-hACE2 cells.
    HEK293T-hACE2
    suggested: RRID:CVCL_A7UK)

    Software and Algorithms
    SentencesResources
    For intracellular staining, cells were fixed and permeabilized with BD Cytofix/Cytoperm (BD Biosciences) prior to staining with the mAbs against cytokines with Pern/Wash buffer (BD Biosciences)
    BD Cytofix/Cytoperm
    suggested: None
    Stained cells were acquired by FACSAriaIII Flow Cytometer (BD Biosciences) inside a BSL-3 laboratory and analyzed with FlowJo software (v10.6) (BD Bioscience).

    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.
