The uronic acid content of the PE fraction was measured according to Blumenkrantz and Asboe-Hansen (1973) . Briefly, 100 μl extracts were incubated in glass tubes with 500 μl 98% H 2 SO 4 containing 0.0125 M Na 2 B 4 O 7 ⋅10 H 2 O for 5 min at 100 ℃. After cooling, 10 μl of m-Hydroxydiphenyl (0.15%) was added and after 20 min incubation at room temperature, the absorbance at 520 nm was measured using the BioTek Gen5 Plate Reader (BioTek, USA). Galacturonic acid (Sigma) was used to construct the calibration curve. Total polysaccharide contents of HC1 and HC2 fractions were measured according to the phenol sulfuric acid method of Dubois et al. (1956) and Shi et al. (2015) . Briefly, 100 μl extracts were firstly incubated with 500 μl 98% H 2 SO 4 and 5 μl 80% phenol in glass tubes at room temperature for 15 min, then were incubated at 100 ℃ for another 15 min. After cooling, the absorbance at nm was measured by the BioTek Gen5 Plate Reader (BioTek, USA). Glucose was used to construct the calibration curve.

Mouse and rabbit IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 spike or Ncap were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) using precoated ELISA plates (IEQ-CoV-S-RBD-IgG and IEQ-CoV-N-IgG; RayBiotech), according to the manufacturer’s instructions, at RT. Briefly, plasma samples were diluted in sample buffer (RayBiotech), added to antigen-coated wells in triplicates, and incubated at RT for 2 h on a shaker (200 rpm). Commercially available antibody against spike (catalog number S1N-S58; Acro Biosystems) or Ncap (catalog number NUN-S47; Acro Biosystems) was used as a positive control. Plates were washed 3 times with wash buffer and incubated for 1 h at RT with HRP-conjugated goat anti-mouse secondary antibodies (dilution of 1:5,000) (catalog number 115-035-003; Jackson ImmunoResearch) or anti-rabbit antibodies (dilution of 1:5,000) (catalog number 111-035-003; Jackson ImmunoResearch) diluted in assay buffer (RayBiotech). After 3 washes, the plates were developed using the TMB substrate (RayBiotech). After a 15-min incubation, the reaction was stopped by the addition of a stop solution, and the absorbance at 450 nm was recorded using a BioTek Gen5 plate reader (Agilent). Endpoint titers were calculated as the dilution that emitted an optical density (OD) exceeding 4 times that for the PBS control group.

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.
