Corning high-binding assay plates were coated with recombinant sCoV2-RBD or sCoV-RBD protein (1 μg/ml) at 4 °C overnight and blocked with 5% skim milk at 37 °C for 2 h. Serially diluted antibodies were added at a volume of 100 μl per well for incubation at 37 °C for 2 h. The anti-human IgG Fab2 HRP-conjugated antibody was diluted 1:5000 and added at a volume of 100 μl per well for incubation at 37 °C for 1 h. The plates were washed 3–5 times with PBST (0.05% Tween-20) between incubation steps. TMB substrate was added 100 μl per well for color development for 3 min and 2 M H2SO4 was added 50 μl per well to stop the reaction. The OD 450 nm was read by a SpectraMax microplate reader. The data points were plotted by GraphPad Prism8, and the EC50 values were calculated using a three-parameter nonlinear model.
