    Briefly, 400 µl whole blood was stimulated with the SARS-CoV-2 S, N and M protein peptide pool or a pool of 300 Mtb-derived peptides (Mtb300, 2 µg/ml) (Lindestam Arlehamn et al., 2016) at 37°C for 5 hours in the presence of co-stimulatory antibodies against CD28 and CD49d (1µg/ml each; BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) and Brefeldin-A (10µg/ml, Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA)

    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.
