SARS-CoV-2 RBD specific total antibody responses were determined using Sf9 insect cells SARS-CoV-2 spike protein RBD (GenScript, NJ, USA) as coating antigen and goat anti-mouse IgG HRP conjugate antibody (Jackson ImmunoResearch, Westgrove, PA, USA) as the detection antibody. The endpoint titers were determined by following the method, as described previously [16 (link)]. The cells secreting mouse IFN-γ by SARS-CoV-2-specific cells were evaluated using an ELISpot test for mouse IFN-γ (Mabtech, Stockholm, Sweden) by following the protocol as described previously [16 (link)], and the results are given in terms of spot-forming cells (SFCs)/106 splenocytes.
