Abstract

The majority of studies on SARS-CoV-2 vaccine-elicited immunity and immune evasion have focused on single vaccines corresponding to those distributed in high-income countries. However, in low- and middle-income countries, vaccine deployment has been far less uniform.

    Additionally, SARS-CoV-2 infection was evaluated in all participants by detection of anti-N antibodies in plasma by ELISA (Elecsys Anti-SARS-CoV-2. Roche, Cat No 09203095190).
    anti-N
    suggested: None
    A purified human monoclonal antibody against SARS-CoV-2 Spike, C144, diluted 1:20 in 2% BSA/PBS and serially diluted, was used as a positive control.

    50μl of reporter lysis buffer (Promega) was added to the beads and antibody-captured NanoLuc luciferase activity measured using the Nano-Glo Luciferase Assay System (Promega) with the Glomax Navigator (Promega).

    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).


    Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
    This information could also guide the use of vaccines that are not widely used in wealthier nations and broaden options when confronting inequity in vaccine distribution, production limitations as well as hesitancy issues.

    Results from TrialIdentifier: No clinical trial numbers were referenced.


    Results from Barzooka: We did not find any issues relating to the usage of bar graphs.


    Results from JetFighter: We did not find any issues relating to colormaps.

    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.
