To assess the correct confirmation of the chimeric S1 incorporated into CORAVAX, we first analyzed the binding of the recombinant human ACE-2 receptor-Fc chimera (human IgG) protein (Fig. 2a) and a SARS-COV-2 receptor binding domain (RBD) directed mouse monoclonal antibody (Fig. 2b) . After blocking, the membrane was incubated overnight with a human monoclonal 4C12 specific for the RABV glycoprotein (hybridoma kindly provided by Dr. Scott Dessain) or rabbit serum against the S1 subunit of SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein (Invitrogen, ThermoFisher Scientific, Cat# PA5-81798) at a dilution of 1:1000 in PBS containing 5% BSA. The cells were then stained for 2 h at RT with mouse polyclonal antiserum against the S1 subunit of SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein and a human monoclonal antibody 4C12 against RABV glycoprotein (2 µg/ ml). ./cache/cord-354685-oggtmum4.txt ./txt/cord-354685-oggtmum4.txt
