    Antibodies
    SentencesResources
    The following primary antibodies were used: monoclonal mouse anti-S100 (DAKO Z0311,
    anti-S100
    suggested: (Agilent Cat# Z0311, RRID:AB_10013383)
    mouse monoclonal anti-SARS spike glycoprotein antibody (Abcam, ab272420, 1:100, pretreatment Citrate + MW) and polyclonal rabbit anti-OLIG2 (IBL, 18953, 1:150, pretreatment Tris-EDTA + MW).
    anti-SARS spike glycoprotein antibody ( Abcam , ab272420
    suggested: None
    anti-OLIG2
    suggested: (Immuno-Biological Laboratories Cat# 18953, RRID:AB_2267671)
    Briefly, primary antibodies were applied and developed either using the iVIEW DAB Detection Kit (Ventana Medical Systems) and the ultraView Universal Alkaline Phosphatase Red Detection Kit (Ventana Medical Systems) or by manual application of biotinylated secondary antibodies (Merck, RPN1001, RPN1004)

    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.
