    Antibodies
    SentencesResources
    Experimental model and subject details: Measurement of antibody levels against RBD and Spike protein: To measure the levels of antibodies against RBD and Spike protein, a fluorescent-bead-based multiplex immunoassay (MIA) was developed as previously described by (Fröberg et al., 2021).
    MIA
    suggested: None
    After incubation, we fixed the cells with 10% formaldehyde and stained the cells with polyclonal rabbit anti-SARS-CoV antibody (Sino Biological) and a secondary peroxidase-labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG (Dako).
    anti-SARS-CoV
    suggested: None
    anti-rabbit IgG
    suggested: None
    Experimental Models: Cell Lines
    SentencesResources
    After 1 hour incubation, we transferred the mixtures on to Vero-E6 cells and incubated for 8 hours.
    Vero-E6
    suggested: None
    Software and Algorithms
    SentencesResources
    Mean Fluorescent Intensities (MFI) were converted to arbitrary units (AU/ml) by interpolation from a log-5PL-parameter logistic standard curve and log-log axis transformation, using Bioplex Manager 6.2 (Bio-Rad Laboratories) software.

    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.
