    Antibodies
    SentencesResources
    Anti-His-tag antibodies were loaded to a SA sensor chip by NHS to capture the His-tag labeled S trimer.
    Anti-His-tag
    suggested: None
    His-tag labeled S trimer.
    suggested: None
    Experimental Models: Cell Lines
    SentencesResources
    The antibodies were in vitro expressed using HEK293 cells, and the binding specificities were quantity by ELISA against the Spike protein and the RBD protein, as described previously.
    HEK293
    suggested: CLS Cat# 300192/p777_HEK293, RRID:CVCL_0045)
    Pre-mixed Huh-7 cells were added to all wells and incubated for 24 h at 37 °C and supplied with 5% CO2.
    Huh-7
    suggested: None
    The Fabs of BD-236, BD-604, and BD-629 were obtained by transient transfection in HEK293F cells using polyethylenimine (Polysciences) when the cell density reached 1 million cells/mL.
    HEK293F
    suggested: RRID:CVCL_6642)
    Software and Algorithms

    The structural models were then manually adjusted in Coot (Emsley et al., 2010) and refined using Phenix.
    Coot
    suggested: (Coot, RRID:SCR_014222)
    Movies were recorded on a K2 Summit direct electron detector (Gatan) using the SerialEM software (Mastronarde, 2005), in the super-resolution mode at a nominal magnification of 130,000, with an exposure rate of 7.1875 e-/Å2 per second.
    SerialEM
    suggested: (SerialEM, RRID:SCR_017293)

    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.
