Permissiveness of HHD-DR1.ACE2Hu1/2/3 mice to replication of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.1 or BA.5 sub-variants. HHD-DR1.ACE2Hu1/2/3 mice or B6.K18-hACE2IP-THV positive control mice were inoculated i.n. with 0.3 × 105 TCID50/mouse of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.1 or BA.5. A. Lung and B. brain viral RNA contents were determined by E-specific (top) or sub-genomic Esg-specific (bottom) qRT-PCR at 4 dpi with Omicron BA.1. C-D. Comparative quantification of hACE-2 mRNA in the lung and brain of individual B6.K18-hACE2IP-THV or HHD-DR1.ACE2Hu1/2/3 transgenic mice. E-F. Lung and brain viral RNA contents were determined by E-specific (top) or sub-genomic Esg-specific (bottom) qRT-PCR at 4 dpi with Omicron BA.5. Statistical significance was evaluated by one-way Anova (*= p < 0.05, **= p < 0.01). ND = Not determined.
