Reproducibility of SARS-CoV-2 infection in airway organoids
(A) Experimental scheme of SARS-CoV-2 infection (MOI = 0.3).
(B) Representative, confocal images (z stack) of SARS-CoV-2-infected (top and middle panels) and Mock-infected (bottom panel) whole-mounted organoids. Scale bars, 50 μm. For the top and bottom, all z stacks were combined into one z stack projection throughout the entire organoid image. Middle: 3 z stacks with in-focus acTUBA staining were combined into a z-projection and deconvolved to increase contrast.
(C) Gating layouts of Spectral flow for dsRNA (cells with replicating SARS-CoV-2).
(D) % of dsRNA+ in replicate experiments of the same DDO 72 h p.i. Dots show the mean value of each experiment with three replicates.
(E) % of dsRNA + cells (left) and the bar charts (right) showing the fraction of cell types infected by SARS-CoV-2-WA-1 (dsRNA+). Bar charts show the mean value of three independent experiments with three replicates each.
