    Next, membranes were washed 3 times in PBS-T, incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-rabbit antibody (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) at 1:17,000 dilution for 1 h, washed again 3 times in PBS-T, incubated with SuperSignal West Dura reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and imaged using an Amersham Imager 680 (Cytiva, Tokyo, Japan). 2.4 Interaction of the spike protein and ACE2: The interaction between the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 S protein and ACE2 was evaluated using a COVID-19 Spike-ACE2 Binding Assay Kit II (RayBiotech Life, Peachtree Corners, GA, USA).

    After dilution, the virus solutions were serially diluted in 10-fold steps using serum-free DMEM and then inoculated onto VeroE6/TMPRSS2 cell monolayers in a 12-well plate.

    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.
