    Antibodies
    SentencesResources
    After the incubation, the cells were fixed and stained with polyclonal rabbit anti-SARS-CoV antibody (Sino Biological).
    anti-SARS-CoV
    suggested: None
    Antigen-specific antibodies were detected using peroxidase-labeled rabbit anti– human IgG (Dako, https://www.agilent.com) and TMB as a substrate.
    Antigen-specific
    suggested: None
    Experimental Models: Cell Lines
    SentencesResources
    Serum Samples: Protein expression: The spike ectodomains of SARS-CoV-2 (residues 1–1,213; strain Wuhan-Hu-1; GenBank: QHD43416.1), SARS-CoV (residues 1–1,182; strain CUHK-W1; GenBank: AAP13567.1) and MERS-CoV (residues 1-1262; strain EMC; GenBank: YP_009047204.1) were expressed in HEK-293T cells with a C-terminal trimerization motif and Strep-tag using the pCAGGS expression plasmid.
    HEK-293T
    suggested: CCLV Cat# CCLV-RIE 1018, RRID:CVCL_0063)
    Likewise, the SARS-CoV-2 S1 subunit or its subdomains (S;S1, residues 1-682; S1A, residues 1-294; RBD, residues 329-538; GenBank: QHD43416.1) were expressed in 293T cells as described in (Chunyan Wang et al., submitted manuscript;
    293T
    suggested: NCBI_Iran Cat# C498, RRID:CVCL_0063)
    Following incubation, the mixtures were added on Vero-E6 cells and incubated at 37°C for 1 more hour.
    Vero-E6
    suggested: None
    The PRNT for the German sera was done as described previously using Vero E6 cells (Wölfel et al submitted manuscript, doi:https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.03.05.20030502) (10).
    Vero E6
    suggested: None
    Software and Algorithms
    SentencesResources
    Antigen-specific antibodies were detected using peroxidase-labeled rabbit anti– human IgG (Dako, https://www.agilent.com) and TMB as a substrate.
    https://www.agilent.com
    suggested: (Agilent Technologies, RRID:SCR_013575)
    Statistical Analysis: The correlations between antibody responses detected by different ELISAs were and those detected by PRNT, as the gold standard for CoV serology, were analyzed using GraphPad Prism version 8 (https://www.graphpad.com).
    GraphPad Prism
    suggested: (GraphPad Prism, RRID:SCR_002798)

    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.
