    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.

    Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:

    Limitations Our study was limited by relatively small sample size. Although the Spike pseudotyping system has been shown to faithfully represent full length infectious virus, there may be determinants outside the Spike that influence antibody susceptibility either directly or indirectly in a live replication competent system. On the other hand live virus systems allow replication and therefore mutation to occur, and rigorous sequencing at multiple steps is needed. In addition, the cells used in such live virus systems are monkey cells engineered to overexpress receptors as in the case of our work. Finally, T cell responses are not accounted for in the present study.
