Peripheral blood samples from convalescent COVID-19 subjects were obtained with informed consent under the approval of the University of Washington Institutional Review Board (Gale Lab; 00009810) and isolated as previously described (Rodda et al., 2021 (link)). Briefly, peripheral blood mononuclear cells were thawed, washed, and stained with a decoy tetramer and then RBD tetramer; bound cells were magnetically enriched (Miltenyi Biotec) and stained with surface antibodies. Single tetramer-positive B cells were index-sorted using a FACS Aria II and collected in 96-well plates containing SMART-Seq v4 capture buffer (Takara Bio) for BCR sequencing.
