Antibodies Sentences Resources The SARS-CoV-2 challenge was performed in a biosafety level 3 facility according to the Guidelines for Animal Experiments performed at NIID. 2.4. Estimation of SARS-CoV-2 S-specific antibody responses: SARS-CoV-2 S-specific antibodies were estimated using ELISA. SARS-CoV-2 S-specificsuggested: NoneIgG antibodies were detected using biotin-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG antibody (Jackson Immunoresearch, West Grove, PA), followed by alkaline phosphatase-conjugated streptavidin (Invitrogen, CA, USA). anti-mouse IgGsuggested: NoneThe S-specific IgG antibody titer was defined as the reciprocal of the highest dilution of the test sample, giving a higher absorbance than the cut-off value obtained as 2-fold mean absorbance of serial dilutions of control naive mouse serum set in each plate. S-specific IgGsuggested: NoneQuantification of S-specific IgG1 or IgG2a antibodies in the serum and IgA antibodies in nasal or lung washes was performed as previously described [23]. IgG1suggested: NoneIgG2asuggested: NoneChimeric human-mouse monoclonal IgG1, IgG2a, and IgA antibodies bearing variable regions of the S-specific human monoclonal antibody S309 [33] were used as standard antibodies for quantification. IgAsuggested: NoneHorseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated polyclonal anti-mouse IgG1 antibody (Bethyl Laboratories, Montgomery, TX), anti-mouse IgG2a antibody (Bethyl Laboratories), or polyclonal anti-mouse IgA antibody (Bethyl Laboratories) were used as detection antibodies. anti-mouse IgG1suggested: Noneanti-mouse IgG2asuggested: Noneanti-mouse IgAsuggested: NoneBriefly, in plates pre-coated with anti-mouse IFN-γ, IL-4, or IL-5 antibodies, 3 × 105 cells harvested from the spleen or cervical lymph nodes were incubated for 16 h in the presence of a peptide pool derived from the S protein of SARS-CoV-2 (a mixture of PepTivator SARS-CoV-2 Prot_S, S1, and S+; Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany). anti-mouse IFN-γsuggested: NoneIL-4suggested: NoneIL-5suggested: NoneAfter washing the cells with PBS, biotin-conjugated anti-IFN-γ, IL-4, or IL-5 detection antibodies were added and incubated at RT for 2 h, followed by incubation with ALP-conjugated streptavidin at RT for 1 h. anti-IFN-γsuggested: NoneOne million cells were stained with FVD506 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) for dead cell removal and blocked with anti-mouse CD16/CD32 monoclonal antibody (BD Pharmingen, San Jose, CA). anti-mouse CD16/CD32suggested: NoneExperimental Models: Cell Lines Sentences Resources Briefly, 50uL of QHmusX (100TCID50) and 50uL of heat-inactivated serum serially diluted by two-fold were mixed and incubated in 96-well microtiter plates for 1h at 37□, followed by the addition of 100 µL of VeroE6-TMPRSS2 cells (JCRB1819, Japanese Collection of Research Bioresources Cell Bank) [35, 36]. VeroE6-TMPRSS2suggested: JCRB Cat# JCRB1819, RRID:CVCL_YQ49)Experimental Models: Organisms/Strains Sentences Resources Immunization and sampling: Female BALB/c mice (20-24 weeks old) (Japan SLC Inc., Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, Japan) were maintained in specific pathogen-free facilities. BALB/csuggested: NoneSoftware and Algorithms Sentences Resources Horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated polyclonal anti-mouse IgG1 antibody (Bethyl Laboratories, Montgomery, TX), anti-mouse IgG2a antibody (Bethyl Laboratories), or polyclonal anti-mouse IgA antibody (Bethyl Laboratories) were used as detection antibodies. Bethyl Laboratoriessuggested: (Bethyl, RRID:SCR_013554)Spots formed by cytokine-secreting cells were counted and analyzed using ELISpot reader S6 Universal with ImmunoSpot 7.0 software (Cellular Technology, Ltd., Shaker Heights, OH). 2.7. ImmunoSpotsuggested: NoneSamples were analyzed with CantoII (BD Biosciences), and data were analyzed using FlowJo software version 10.8.0 (Tree Star Inc., Ashland, OR). 2.8. Quantification of SARS-CoV-2 subgenomic RNA: Total RNA was extracted from 125 µL of nasal or lung wash using ISOGEN-LS (Nippon gene, Toyko, Japan) and purified using a Maxwell RSC 48 Instrument (Promega, Madison, WI) with a Maxwell RSC miRNA Plasma and Serum Kit (Promega). BD Biosciencessuggested: (BD Biosciences, RRID:SCR_013311)FlowJosuggested: (FlowJo, RRID:SCR_008520)Statistical analysis: Data analysis and visualization were performed using GraphPad Prism 7.0 software (GraphPad Software Inc., San Diego, CA). GraphPadsuggested: (GraphPad Prism, RRID:SCR_002798)Results from OddPub: We did not detect open data. We also did not detect open code.
