    Antibodies
    SentencesResources
    The plate was washed three times using wash buffer (TBS containing 0.2% Tween 20), then 50 μL of horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary Goat Anti-Human secondary antibody at 1:40,000 dilution in 3% milk was added for 40 minutes at 37°C.
    Anti-Human
    suggested: None
    For measuring isotype specific antibody, only the respective goat antihuman HRP conjugated IgG, IgM, or IgA was used.
    antihuman HRP conjugated IgG
    suggested: None
    For measuring isotype specific antibody, only the respective goat anti-human IgG, IgM, or IgA was used (Cat #109-035-008, 109-035-043, 109-035-011, Jackson ImmunoResearch).
    only the respective goat anti-human IgG
    suggested: None
    anti-human IgG
    suggested: (Jackson ImmunoResearch Labs Cat# 109-035-008, RRID:AB_2337579)
    Meso-scale multiplex surrogate neutralization assay: A multiplexed Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) immunoassay (MSD, Rockville, MD) was used to measure the ACE-2 blocking antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 reference strain and circulating variants (B.1.1.7, P1, B.1.351) using the MSD V-PLEX SARS-CoV-2 Panel 7 (ACE2) kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
    ACE2
    suggested: None
    To describe the magnitude and spread of full spike and RBD binding IgG, IgM, and IgA titers, we generated jittered dot plots stratified by antibody isotype, time of sampling (post dose 1 and post dose 2), and prior exposure to SARS-CoV-2.
    SARS-CoV-2
    suggested: None
    Crossreactivity between WIV04 and three SARS-CoV-2 variants (B.1.1.7, B.1.351, and P.1), and crossreactivity between SARS-CoV-2 and other endemic human coronaviruses was compared using stratified description of antibody titers and kinetics following each vaccine dose.
    B.1.351
    suggested: None
    Experimental Models: Cell Lines
    SentencesResources
    The halo-tagged SARS-CoV-2 NTD antigen (16–305 amino acids, Accession: P0DTC2.1) was designed and expressed in mammalian Expi293 cells as described for RBD antigens.
    Expi293
    suggested: RRID:CVCL_D615)
    Following incubation, serum-virus complexes were added to the plated Vero E6 cells and incubated for 48 hours at 37C with 5% CO2.
    Vero E6
    suggested: None
    Recombinant DNA
    SentencesResources
    The bacterial expression construct for full-length SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid was a gift from Nicolas Fawzi (Addgene plasmid # 157867; http://n2t.net/addgene:157867; RRID:Addgene_157867)69.
    detected: RRID:Addgene_157867)

    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.
