Comparative analysis of SARS-CoV-2 virus growth in Vero E6 WT and STAT1^−/−cells. (a) RT-qPCR quantification of gc/ml using SARS-COVID-19 primers targeting N1 and N2. (b) PFU quantitation at Days 0 or 10 post-infection of Vero E6 WT and STAT1^−/− cells. Samples A6 and A7 were NP swabs from congregate care patients and a stock SARS-CoV-2 virus preparation was used as a positive (+ve) control. Data were pooled from two independent experiments, each with duplicate or triplicate technical replicates. The results are presented as means. Symbols represent individual technical repeats for each sample.
