Plates were precoated with 5 µg/mL of hACE2 receptor overnight and washed with phosphate-buffered saline with 0.05% Tween (PBS-T) buffer and blocked with TBS Startblock blocking buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Histidine-tagged S-RBD-Rhizavidin was threefold serially diluted and added to coated wells for 2 h at RT. Following washing, 100 µL of anti His-HRP (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) was added to the plate. Plates were incubated for 1 h at RT, while SureBlue TMB Microwell Peroxidase Substrate (VWR, Radnor, PA, USA) equilibrated to RT. After a final wash, 100 µL TMB substrate was added to wells and development was stopped with 100 µL of 1N hydrochloric acid after 10 min at RT. The ELISA plates were read at an absorbance of 450 nm on a SpectraMax i3x Plate Reader using Softmax Pro 7.0.

Ninety-six-well plates were coated with 100 μL SARS-CoV-2 S protein (2 μg mL−1) overnight at 4 °C. Plates were washed with phosphate-buffered saline with 0.05% Tween (PBS-T) buffer and blocked with TBS Startblock blocking buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Histidine-tagged hACE2 and hDPP4 receptors were threefold serially diluted (5–0.0001 μg mL−1) and added to coated wells for 2 h at room temperature. The plates were washed with PBS-T. Optimally diluted (1:4000) horseradish peroxidase (HRP) conjugated mouse anti-histidine was added and color developed by addition of and 3,3ʹ,5,5ʹ-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) peroxidase substrate (T0440-IL, Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA). Plates were read at an OD of 450 nm with a SpectraMax Plus plate reader (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) and data analyzed with SoftMax software. EC50 values were calculated by 4-parameter fitting using GraphPad Prism 7.05 software (San Diego, CA, USA).

An ELISA was used to determine anti-SARS-CoV-2 S IgG titers. Briefly, 96-well microtiter plates (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Rochester, NY, USA) were coated with 1.0 µg mL−1 of SARS-CoV-2 S protein. Plates were washed with PBS-T and blocked with TBS Startblock blocking buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Mouse, baboon, or human serum samples were serially diluted (10−2 to 10−8) and added to the blocked plates before incubation at room temperature for 2 h. Following incubation, plates were washed with PBS-T and HRP-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (1:5000) or goat anti-human IgG (1:2000) (Southern Biotech, Birmingham, AL, USA) added for 1 h. Plates were washed with PBS-T and TMB peroxidase substrate (T0440-IL, Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) was added. Reactions were stopped with TMB stop solution (ScyTek Laboratories, Inc. Logan, UT). Plates were read at OD 450 nm with a SpectraMax Plus plate reader (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) and data analyzed with SoftMax software. EC50 values were calculated by 4-parameter fitting using SoftMax Pro 6.5.1 GxP software. Individual animal anti-SARS-CoV-2 S IgG titers and group GMTs and 95% confidence intervals (±95% CI) were plotted using GraphPad Prism 7.05 software.

Plates were washed with PBS-T and 3,3’,5,5’-tetramethylbenzidine peroxidase substrate (TMB, T0440-IL, Sigma, St Louis, MO, USA) was added. Reactions were stopped with TMB stop solution (ScyTek Laboratories, Inc. Logan, UT). Plates were read at OD 450 nm with a SpectraMax®Plus plate reader (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA), and data were analyzed with SoftMax® (Molecular Devices, Corp.) software. Data shown in the graph are the average of triplicate wells. EC50 values were calculated by 4-parameter fitting using SoftMax Pro 6.5.1 GxP software. Individual animal anti-SARS-CoV-2 rS IgG titers and group geometric mean titers (GMT) and 95% confidence interval (± 95% CI) were plotted GraphPad® Prism 7.05 software (Graphpad Software LLC).

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.
