    , bead-purified anti-PF4 antibody fraction and unbound fractions using ELISAs coated with individual PF4, SARS-CoV-2 spike S1 and S2 proteins (the Native Antigen Company, UK) at 4 μg/ml., purified anti-PF4 IgGs were then separated by SDS-PAGE; heavy- and light-chain bands excised for in-gel digestion with trypsin and chymotrypsin, respectively; and analysis of peptides performed in a state-of-the-art Thermo Orbitrap Fusion Lumos Tribrid mass spectrometer with peptide de novo sequencing and IMGT database matching performed by Peaks Studio XPro as detailed previously 15 with modifications.

    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.
