Tissues harvested at necropsy from SARS-CoV-2 infected-AGMs (n=6)
were processed to determine viral loads by a) RT-qPCR and
b) plaque titration. Tissues from animals sacrificed at 5
dpi (n=3) were compared to those re-challenged at 35 dpi and sacrificed at
57/22 dpi (n=3). Abbreviations for tissues: ALN: Axillary lymph node, ILN:
inguinal lymph node, Liv: liver, Spl: spleen, Kid: kidney, Adr: adrenal
gland, RUL: right upper lung, RML: right middle lung, RLL: right lower lung,
LUL: left upper lung, LML: left middle lung, LLL: left lower lung, BFC:
brain frontal cortex, BS: brain stem, CSC: cervical spinal cord, MLN:
mandibular lymph node, smLN: submandibular lymph node, Ton: tonsil, Trac:
trachea, Hrt: heart, MsLN: mesenteric lymph node, Sto: stomach, Duo:
duodenum, Pan: pancreas, Ile: ileum, IleJxn: ileocecal junction, TC:
transverse colon, UB: urinary bladder, Gon: gonad, Ut/Pros: uterus/prostate,
NaMu: nasal mucosa, Conj: conjunctiva. The horizontal dashed line indicates
the LOD for the assay. Multiple two-tailed t-tests using the Bonferroni-Dunn
method: p= 0.0332 (*), 0.0021 (**), 0.0002 (***), <0.0001 (****).
Data are presented as mean values +/− SEM. Statistics were derived
from the mean of duplicate RT-qPCR reactions or wells of each tissue per
animal (n=6 biologically independent animals/samples per tissue in a single
experiment; n=3 animals per cohort (5 or 57/22 dpi).
