Extended data Figure 2. Infectivity of Delta- and Omicron-positive nasopharyngeal swabs on Vero-TMPRSS2 and IGROV-1 cells.

Extended data Figure 2.

Nasopharyngeal swabs from either Delta or Omicron-infected individuals were cultivated on Vero-TMPRSS2 and IGROV-1 cells. Limiting dilution were performed to calculate viral infectivity titers. After 48h of culture, cells were stained using a pan-coronavirus anti-N antibody to visualize infection (AlexaFluor488 in green) and Hoechst to visualize nuclei (in blue). Both swabs have a RT-qPCR Cycle threshold (CT) of 16.4. Two representative individuals are displayed. Scale bar, 200 μm.
