Infection of sensory neurons by SARS-CoV-2 variants delta and omicron
(A) SARS-CoV-2 genes expression in hiPSC-sensory neurons exposed to mock, heat-inactivated or active WA1/2020 SARS-CoV-2 or the delta and omicron variants.
(B) SARS-CoV-2 genes expression in HEK293T cells exposed to mock, heat-inactivated or active SARS-CoV-2 strain WA1/2020 and variants delta and omicron.
(C) Heatmap of average gene expression for the top 20 most differentially expressed genes between SARS-CoV-2-positive (SARS pos.) and -negative (SARS neg.) hiPSC-sensory neurons and 293T cells upon exposure to WA1/2020 SARS-CoV-2 or the delta or omicron variants.
