Cell Fusion Assay. HTR8/SVneo and JAR cells were seeded 10h before transfection. Cells were then transfected with pCMV-SPIKEDelta-V5+pCMV-hACE2, pCMV-SPIKEDelta-V5+pcDNA3 or pCMV-GFP+pcDNA3. Representative images of green fluorescence protein (GFP) and immunostaining for SARS-CoV-2 -Spike in HTR8 (A) and JAR (D) taken using the Operetta high content screening microscope (PerkinElmer) with Olympus 20 x (NA-0.45) objective. Quantification of the total cells expressing Spike and the total number of syncytia per well in HTR8 (B) and JAR (E). mRNA expression levels by RT-qPCR of SARS-CoV2-Spike and hACE2 in HTR8 (C) and JAR (F).
