Reduction of immune cell infiltration and broncho-interstitial pneumonia by PT150 treatment. Overall hypercellularity within lung tissue, resulting in pathological broncho-interstitial pneumonia, was determined using ROI delineations on hematoxylin and eosin-stained sections for all groups: days 3, 5 and 7 post-infection. (A–C) SARS-CoV-2 + vehicle; (D–F), SARS-CoV-2 + 30 mg/Kg/day PT150; (G–I), SARS-CoV-2 + 100 mg/Kg/day PT150; B, Control + vehicle. (J), Quantification of the total area of the lung tissue affected with broncho-interstitial pneumonia was conducted using automated focal point determination within ROIs following manual thresholding (K). Pseudo colored grayscale images of H&E sections are depicted in blue, overlaid with ROI’s detected by intensity thresholding in red. *p<0.01, ***p<0.001, ****p<0.0001; N=6 hamsters/group.
