    Antibodies
    SentencesResources
    Plates were washed, incubated with anti-M13-HRP antibody (Sino Biological, catalog number 11973-MM05T-H) and developed with TMB substrate (Mandel, catalog number KP-50-76-03).
    anti-M13-HRP
    suggested: None
    In addition, we monitored infection using an ELISA-based method20 with the anti-S-protein antibody CR302225, followed by incubation with HRP-conjugated goat anti-Fc antibody (Invitrogen, catalog number A18817).
    anti-S-protein
    suggested: (PhosphoSolutions Cat# CoV2-5G8, RRID:AB_2868396)
    anti-Fc
    suggested: None
    Experimental Models: Cell Lines
    SentencesResources
    The IgG-virus mixture was transferred to 96-well tissue culture plates containing sub-confluent monolayers of Vero E6 cells in duplicate and incubated at 37 °C and 5% CO2.
    Vero E6
    suggested: None
    Software and Algorithms
    SentencesResources
    Sequence alignment and analysis: Sequences of binding peptides were imported into Geneious R9 software (Biomatters Ltd.).
    Geneious
    suggested: (Geneious, RRID:SCR_010519)
    Peptides were sorted based on the library from which they originated and aligned separately using the MUSCLE algorithm.
    MUSCLE
    suggested: (MUSCLE, RRID:SCR_011812)
    All data were analyzed using Prism software (GraphPad Prism 8.0).
    Prism
    suggested: (PRISM, RRID:SCR_005375)
    GraphPad
    suggested: (GraphPad Prism, RRID:SCR_002798)
    To build the model of two RGN10933 Fabs bound to the S-protein, the model of RGN10933 and RGN10987 bound to the RBD (PDB entry 6XDG) was imported into PyMol along with the data from PDB entry 7KMK.
    PyMol
    suggested: (PyMOL, RRID:SCR_000305)

    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).

    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.
