    Antibodies
    SentencesResources
    During the screening, a full medical history was recorded for each participant, and blood was drawn to test for: HIV, HCV, hepatitis B, VDRL, full blood count, kidney and liver function, pregnancy (through rapid test in women of childbearing age); to measure the background of IgG anti-RBD, blocking antibodies of ACE2-RBD interaction, viral neutralization test and to explore cellular immunity.
    anti-RBD
    suggested: None
    Seroconversion rates for IgG antibodies anti-RBD (≥4-fold increase in antibody concentration over pre-immunization levels) were calculated, as well as frequency of participants with in vitro inhibitory antibody titers >70%.
    IgG
    suggested: None
    Software and Algorithms
    SentencesResources
    Statistical analyses were done using SPSS version 25.0; EPIDAT version 4.1 and Prism GraphPad version 6.0.

    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.
