    Please note, not all rigor criteria are appropriate for all manuscripts.

    Table 1: Rigor

    EthicsIRB: Participant Selection: This protocol was approved by the University of Arizona Institutional Review Board and activated in January 2021.
    Consent: Participants scheduled for vaccine appointments at Banner University Medical Center North site were approached with the IRB approved consent and sequentially enrolled.
    Sex as a biological variableCell pellets were resuspended in 1 mL of X-VIVO 15 media with Gentamicin and Phenol Red (VWR #12001-988) containing 5% male human AB serum (Sigma #H4522-100ML), and incubated in 24-well plates overnight at 37°C with 5% CO2.
    Randomizationnot detected.
    Blindingnot detected.
    Power Analysisnot detected.
    Cell Line Authenticationnot detected.

    Antibodies
    SentencesResources
    Plates were then washed and incubated for 1hr in 1% PBS and milk containing anti-human Pan-Ig HRP conjugated antibody (Jackson ImmunoResearch catalog 109-035-064) at a concentration of 1:2000 for 1 h.
    anti-human Pan-Ig HRP
    suggested: None
    Plates were emptied, washed 5 times with 200 μl/well of PBS (Fisher Scientific Hyclone PBS #SH2035), and incubated for 2 hours at room temperature with 100 μl/well PBS containing 0.5% fetal calf serum and 1 μg/ml detection antibody (7-B6-1-biotin).
    7-B6-1-biotin
    suggested: None
    Experimental Models: Cell Lines
    SentencesResources
    Virus neutralization assays: SARS Coronavirus 2, Isolate USA-WA1/2020 (BEI NR-52281) was passaged once on Vero (ATCC #CCL-81) cells at a multiplicity of infection of 0.01 for 48 hours.
    Vero
    suggested: ATCC Cat# CCL-81, RRID:CVCL_0059)
    S1 and RBD tetramers were validated by staining 293T cells as a negative control or 293T-hACE2-expressing cells72 (BEI Resources NR-52511) as a positive control.
    293T
    suggested: None
    Software and Algorithms
    SentencesResources
    Tetramer reagents were assembled by mixing 100μg/ml C-terminal Avitagged RBD or S1 (AcroBiosystems) with 100μg/ml streptavidin-PE (eBiosciences) or streptavidin-BV421 (Biolegend), respectively, at a 5:1 molar ratio in which 1/10 the final volume of streptavidin was added every 5 minutes.
    AcroBiosystems
    suggested: (ACRObiosystems, RRID:SCR_012550)
    Data were analyzed using FlowJo software.
    FlowJo
    suggested: (FlowJo, RRID:SCR_008520)
    All analyses were performed in GraphPad Prism 9 and the R programming language version 4.0.5.
    GraphPad Prism
    suggested: (GraphPad Prism, RRID:SCR_002798)

    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.
