Bat organoids elicited a more robust antiviral response to Poly(I:C) treatment. Bat and human intestinal organoids were sheared mechanically and treated with 10 μg/ml Poly(I:C) or mock-treated with DMSO. a, b Induction of IFNs (left) and ISGs (right) in bat intestinal organoids (a) and human intestinal organoids (b) at the indicated hours after Poly(I:C) treatment. Results show the log2-fold change of GAPDH-normalized expression level in the treated organoids relative to mock-treated organoids. Data represent the mean and s.d. of a representative experiment in organoids from a bat and human donor, n = 3. c Culture media from the treated or mock-treated human intestinal organoids at the indicated hours were applied to ELISA to measure concentrations of IFNL1 and IFNL3. Data represent the mean and s.d. of a representative experiment in one line of human organoids, n = 3. Two-tailed unpaired Student’s t test. d Poly(I:C) treated or mock-treated human intestinal organoids were collected at the indicated hours post-treatment and subjected to Western blot to detect human ISG15. e, f Bat and human intestinal organoids were sheared and incubated with 10 μg/ml Poly(I:C) Fluorescein in triplicate for 2 h and 6 h. The organoids were then dissociated and applied to flow cytometry to detect the percentage at 2 h post treatment (e) and mean fluorescence intensity (MFI, f) of Fluorescein-positive cells at 2 and 6 h post treatment. g, h Induction of TNF-a and IL6 (g) and IP10 (h) in bat and human intestinal organoids at the indicated hours after treatment. Results show the fold change of GAPDH-normalized expression level in Poly(I:C)-treated organoids relative to mock-treated organoids. Data represent the mean and s.d. of a representative experiment in organoids from a bat and human donor, n = 3
