    Table 2: Resources

    Experimental Models: Cell Lines
    SentencesResources
    Cell lines: HEK293T cells overexpressing WT human ACE-2 (Integral Molecular, USA) were used as target in pseudovirus-based neutralization assay.
    HEK293T
    suggested: CCLV Cat# CCLV-RIE 1018, RRID:CVCL_0063)
    Expi293F cells (Thermo Fisher Scientific) are a HEK293 cell derivative adapted for suspension culture that were used for SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus production.
    HEK293
    suggested: CLS Cat# 300192/p777_HEK293, RRID:CVCL_0045)
    Then, 2×104 HEK293T/hACE2 cells treated with DEAE-Dextran (Sigma-Aldrich) were added.
    HEK293T/hACE2
    suggested: RRID:CVCL_A7UK)
    Recombinant DNA
    SentencesResources
    Material availability: The plasmids pcDNA3.4 SARS-CoV-2.SctΔ19 are available upon request to the lead contact.
    pcDNA3.4
    suggested: RRID:Addgene_131198)
    DETAILS: Pseudovirus generation and neutralization assay: HIV reporter pseudoviruses expressing SARS-CoV-2 S protein and Luciferase were generated. pNL4-3.Luc.R-.
    pNL4-3.Luc
    suggested: None
    E-was obtained from the NIH AIDS Reagent Program.58 SARS-CoV-2.SctΔ19 was generated (GeneArt) from the full protein sequence of SARS-CoV-2 spike with a deletion of the last 19 amino acids in C-terminal,59 human-codon optimized and inserted into pcDNA3.4-TOPO.
    pcDNA3.4-TOPO
    suggested: None
    Software and Algorithms
    SentencesResources
    The KING cohort included individuals with a documented positive RT-qPCR result from nasopharyngeal swab and/or a positive serological diagnostic test.
    KING
    suggested: (KING, RRID:SCR_009251)
    The values were normalized, and the ID50 (reciprocal dilution inhibiting 50% of the infection) was calculated by plotting and fitting the log of plasma dilution vs. response to a 4-parameters equation in Prism 9.0.2 (GraphPad Software, USA)
    GraphPad
    suggested: (GraphPad Prism, RRID:SCR_002798)
    Statistical analyses were performed using R-3.6.3 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing) and Prism 9.0.2 (GraphPad Software)
    Prism
    suggested: (PRISM, RRID:SCR_005375)

    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).


    Results from LimitationRecognizer: An explicit section about the limitations of the techniques employed in this study was not found. We encourage authors to address study limitations.

    Results from TrialIdentifier: No clinical trial numbers were referenced.

    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.
