    Review 2: "Infectivity and immune escape of the new SARS-CoV-2 variant of interest Lambda"

    This preprint describes gain-of-function properties for mutations defining the Lambda variant and the effectiveness of the CoronaVac vaccine against this variant. Reviewers consider the data reliable and require minor revision to clarify methodology.

    Experimental Models: Cell Lines
    SentencesResources
    Different amounts of pseudotyped viruses (as determined by the levels of the HIV-1 p24 protein) were used to infect HEK-ACE2 cells and 48 hours later, firefly luciferase activity was measured using the Luciferase Assay Reagent (Promega) in a Glomax 96 Microplate luminometer (Promega).
    HEK-ACE2
    suggested: None
    HEK293T cells (not expressing ACE2) incubated with the pseudotyped virus (lineage A) were used as a negative control.
    HEK293T
    suggested: CCLV Cat# CCLV-RIE 1018, RRID:CVCL_0063)
    Recombinant DNA
    SentencesResources
    Briefly, HIV-1-based SARS-CoV-2 pseudotypes were produced in HEK293T cells by transfecting the pNL4.3-ΔEnv-Luc together with the corresponding pCDNA-SARS-CoV-2 Spike coding vector in a 1:1 molar ratio.
    pNL4.3-ΔEnv-Luc
    suggested: None
    pCDNA-SARS-CoV-2
    suggested: None
    Software and Algorithms
    SentencesResources
    The percentage of neutralization for each dilution was calculated and the ID50 of each sample was calculated using GraphPad Prism version 9.0.1.

    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.
