We produced MDCK-Spike by stably transducing parental MDCK-SIAT1 cells with cDNA expressing full-length SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein. This cell membrane-bound full-length spike carries trimer-stabilizing proline mutations (986KV987 to 986PP987) and substitutions at the S1-S2 furin cleavage site (682RRAR685 to 682GSAG685), which indicates that the spike would display the prefusion conformation. MDCK-H3 cells were stained in the control experiment. Anti-influenza H3 MAb BS-1A was included as an antibody control. Each experiment was repeated twice (n = 2). The binding percentage was presented as mean ± standard error of the mean.
