    Antibodies
    SentencesResources
    Secondary antibody was diluted in 1% BSA in PBS-T as follows: anti-human IgG-HRP 1:2000 (Invitrogen 31413)
    anti-human IgG-HRP
    suggested: None
    Experimental Models: Cell Lines
    SentencesResources
    For S protein production, Mexi293E cells were grown in 6 well cell culture plates.
    Mexi293E
    suggested: None
    The virus was amplified in Vero-76 cells in viral growth media vDMEM (Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (Wisent Bioproducts (Cat # 319-005-CL)), 2% fetal calf serum (Wisent Bioproducts (Cat # 090-150)), 5 mL 100x Penicillin (10,000 U/mL)/Streptomycin (10,000 ug/mL), and 2 mg/mL TPCK-trypsin) at VIDO, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
    Vero-76
    suggested: None
    Neutralization Assay: Vero cells (ATCC® CRL-1587) were seeded into 96-well tissue culture plates (Corning) at 20,000 cells per well and incubated overnight at 37°C in a 5% CO2 chamber.
    Vero
    suggested: None
    The plasma-virus mixture was added to plated Vero 76 cells and incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 chamber for 1 h for virus absorption.
    Vero 76
    suggested: None
    Software and Algorithms
    SentencesResources
    Statistical Analysis: Results were analysed using GraphPad Prism8.
    GraphPad
    suggested: (GraphPad Prism, RRID:SCR_002798)

    Results from OddPub: We did not detect open data. We also did not detect open code. Researchers are encouraged to share open data when possible (see Nature blog).

    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.
