    The anti-spike glycoprotein antibody-coated surfaces were stored under PBS for up to 5 days at 4 °C.
    anti-spike glycoprotein
    suggested: None
    Handling virion sample in the AFM: An aliquot (20 μl) of purified SARS-CoV-2 sample was pipetted onto the anti-spike antibody-coated substrate surface and incubated at 37 °C for 30 minutes.
    anti-spike antibody-coated substrate surface
    suggested: None
    Experimental Models: Cell Lines
    SentencesResources
    Sample preparation: SARS-CoV-2 was isolated from the oropharyngeal swab of a laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patient in Hungary and passed two times in VeroE6 cell line (European Collection of Authenticated Cell Culture, Salisbury, U.K.) in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland) supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum (EuroClone, Pero, Italy) and Cell Culture Guard (PanReac AppliChem, Darmstadt, Germany).
    VeroE6
    suggested: JCRB Cat# JCRB1819, RRID:CVCL_YQ49)

    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.
