The peptide microarray containing eight S proteins and tiled peptides representing the SARS-CoV-2 S protein was prepared as described in our previous work 19 (link), 40 (link). The array was assembled in an incubation tray and blocked with 5% (w/v) milk in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 0.05% (v/v) Tween-20 (PBST) for 30 min at room temperature before antibody detection. After aspirating the blocking solution, the 1:200 diluted serum was added to the array and incubated at room temperature for 20 min. After washing three times with PBST, the array was then incubated for 20 min with a Cy3 labelled donkey anti-human IgG(H+L) antibody (Jackson ImmunoResearch, USA) (2 μg/mL). Finally, the array was washed with PBST and deionized water, disassembled from the tray and dried with vacuum pump. The slide was scanned at 532 nm using a GenePix 4300A microarray scanner (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA). The median fluorescent signal intensity of each spot with background subtraction was extracted using GenePix Pro7 software (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA). The raw data for each peptide of the S protein were normalized to the z-score. The immunogenic peptides were defined as those with a z-score >1.96. Epitope identification via epitope mapping was performed as described in our previous work 60 (link).

After washing again, the array was then incubated for 60 min with Cy5-labeled ACE2 (50 ng/mL). Finally, the array was washed with PBST and water, dissembled from the tray, and dried via centrifugation for 2 min at 2,000 rpm. The array was scanned with a GenePix 4300A microarray scanner (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) at a 10 μm resolution using a laser at 635 nm with 100% power/ PMT Gain 900. The median fluorescent signal intensity with background subtraction was extracted using GenePix Pro7 software (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA). The neutralizing antibody titer of serum is expressed by the effective concentration (EC50). EC50 is the dilution of sera that inhibits 50% S-ACE2 binding in the mSAIS assay. EC50 was calculated using the GraphPad Prism software 8.3 based on the fluorescent signal intensity.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
