Purified and Avi-tagged SARS-CoV-2 Wuhan-Hu-1 RBD and NTD were biotinylated using the Biotin-Protein Ligase-BIRA kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Avidity) as described before (Robbiani et al., 2020 (link)). Ovalbumin (A5503-1G; Sigma-Aldrich) was biotinylated using the EZ-Link Sulfo-NHS-LC-Biotinylation kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Biotinylated ovalbumin was conjugated to streptavidin-BB515 (564453; BD). RBD was conjugated to streptavidin-PE (554061; BD Biosciences) and streptavidin-AF647 (405237; Biolegend; Robbiani et al., 2020 (link)). NTD was conjugated to streptavidin-BV421 (405225; Biolegend) and streptavidin-BV711 (563262; BD Biosciences).
