    After an incubation at 37⍰°C for 24⍰h, 2.5 μL/well of detection reagent mixture of two labeled anti-ZIKV NS1 antibodies was added to assay plates.
    anti-ZIKV NS1
    suggested: None
    Experimental Models: Cell Lines
    SentencesResources
    SARS-CoV-2 cytopathic effect (CPE) assay: Vero-E6 cells previously selected for high ACE2 expression 27 (grown in EMEM, 10% FBS, and 1% Penicillin/Streptomycin) were cultured in T175 flasks and passaged at 95% confluency.
    Vero-E6
    suggested: None
    The plates were transported into the BSL-3 facility were a 25 μL aliquot of virus inoculated cells (4000 Vero E6 cells/well) was added to each well in columns 3-24.
    Vero E6
    suggested: None
    NS1 TR-FRET assay: HEK293 cells were maintained in EMEM medium with 10% fetal bovine serum, 1% pen/strep (Gibco, Cat. # 15140–122).
    HEK293
    suggested: None
    Software and Algorithms
    SentencesResources
    For activity-based models, only compounds that showed activity in at least 10% of the Sytravon, Genesis or MLS assay panel were kept for analyses.

    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.

    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 is not a substitute for expert review. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers) in the manuscript, and detects sentences that appear to be missing RRIDs. SciScore also checks to make sure that rigor criteria are addressed by authors. It does this by detecting sentences that discuss criteria such as blinding or power analysis. SciScore does not guarantee that the rigor criteria that it detects are appropriate for the particular study. Instead it assists authors, editors, and reviewers by drawing attention to sections of the manuscript that contain or should contain various rigor criteria and key resources. For details on the results shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
