Extended Data Fig. 6. Gross and histopathologic findings of young and aged male and female Rhesus macaques experimentally exposed to COVID19 – 3 dpi.

Extended Data Fig. 6

Young male Rhesus macaque. Lung was grossly unremarkable (a). Aged male Rhesus macaque. Lung. The dorsal aspect of the lungs was mottled red (*) (b). Aged male Rhesus macaque. Lung. Sub gross image showing extensive areas of consolidation (*) (c). Aged male Rhesus macaque. Lung. Moderate interstitial pneumonia with scattered type II pneumocytes (arrow), neutrophils (arrowhead), and intra-alveolar fibrin deposition (*) (d). Aged female Rhesus macaque. Lung. Mild interstitial pneumonia with scattered syncytial cells (arrow), neutrophils (arrowhead), and expansion of alveolar walls by fibrosis (bracket) (e). Young female Rhesus macaque. Lung. Vasculitis. Vascular wall disrupted by infiltrates of mononuclear cells and lesser neutrophils. Vessel lumen marked by (*) (f). Young female Rhesus macaque. Lung. Mild interstitial pneumonia. Alveolar spaces contain neutrophils and cellular debris (necrosis, arrow) (g). Young female Rhesus macaque. Lung. Mild interstitial pneumonia. Alveolar spaces (*) contain neutrophils and eosinophilic fluid (edema) (h). Young female Rhesus macaque. Lung. Bronchiolitis. Bronchiolar wall expanded by infiltrates of lymphocytes and macrophages (bracket) (i). Young male Rhesus macaque. Lung. Bronchitis. Bronchial wall expanded by infiltrates of eosinophils that expand and disrupt the epithelium and smooth muscle (bracket) (j). Young female Rhesus macaque. Lung. Bronchitis. Bronchial lumen contains macrophages (arrowhead), cellular debris, and syncytial cells (arrow) (k). Aged female Rhesus macaque. Lung. Area of bronchiolar associated lymphoid tissue (BALT) (*) (l). All slides were stained with H&E. Multiple random fields across all sections from all macaques (n=4, Supplementary Table 7) were analyzed.
