Figure 5

Binding of fluorescent SARS-CoV-2 spike-AF647 in ACE2 positive cells in a panel of human tissues. Representative confocal fluorescent images (n ≥ 2 independent donors, stained in duplicate) of human tissue fixed in 4% formaldehyde and treated with ACE2poly (left column, visualised in green) and 1 µM spike-AF647 (centre column, visualised in red). Merged images (right column, overlay) also include Hoechst 33342 nuclear marker (visualised in blue). Scale bars are as indicated in figure. Tissues shown include: (a) Kidney cortex; (b) Kidney medulla; (c) Left ventricle heart tissue, showing cardiomyocytes; (d) Lung tissue, showing an airway structure; (e) Liver bile duct; (f) Liver hepatocytes.
