Antibodies Sentences Resources Antigen-specific humoral immune responses: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the antigen-specific antibody production induced by the DNA vaccinations as previously described. antigen-specificsuggested: NoneAntibodies were detected with HRP-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (Southern Biotech, Birmingham, AL) after the enzymatic reaction was developed, the OD values were read at 450/620 nm by an ELISA plate reader (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). anti-mouse IgGsuggested: (Jackson ImmunoResearch Labs Cat# 015-620-003, RRID:AB_2337231)The Goat anti-Rabbit IgG-HRP (Invitrogen, 32460) and Rabbit anti-hACE2 antibody (Sino Biological, 10108-RP01) were used to detect the concentration of hACE2 binding with the RBD. anti-Rabbit IgG-HRPsuggested: Noneanti-hACE2suggested: NoneExperimental Models: Cell Lines Sentences Resources Seed SARS-CoV-2 (SARS-CoV-2/WH-09/human/2020) stocks and virus isolation studies were performed in Vero E6 cells, which are maintained in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM, Invitrogen, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 100 IU/mL penicillin, and 100 μg /mL streptomycin, and incubated at 36.5 °C, 5% CO2. Vero E6suggested: RRID:CVCL_XD71)The diluted samples were mixed with a virus suspension of 100 TCID50 in 96-well plates at a ratio of 1:1, followed by 2 h incubation at 36.5 °C in a 5% CO2 incubator. 1× 104 Vero cells were then added to the serum-virus mixture, and the plates were incubated for 3–5 days at 36.5 °C in a 5% CO2 incubator.

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.
Results from Barzooka: We found bar graphs of continuous data. We recommend replacing bar graphs with more informative graphics, as many different datasets can lead to the same bar graph. The actual data may suggest different conclusions from the summary statistics. For more information, please see Weissgerber et al (2015).
Results from JetFighter: We did not find any issues relating to colormaps.
