Figure Lengend Snippet: Isolation of MjHKU4r-CoV-1 and elucidation of its cell-entry mechanism (A) Transmission electron microscopy analysis of MjHKU4r-CoV-1 virions. Scale bars, 50 nm. (B) Cytopathic effect in Caco-2 cells at 48 h.p.i. with MjHKU4r-CoV-1 or mock infected (left, scale bars, 400 μm), and immunofluorescence assay (IFA) with an antibody against the Tylonycteris bat coronavirus HKU4 NP (right, scale bars, 200 μm). Red, NP; blue, nuclei. (C) Caco-2 cells were infected with MjHKU4r-CoV-1 at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 1 or 0.01. Viral titers and viral RNA copies at indicated time points were determined by TCID 50 assay and qRT-PCR, respectively. (D–G) Viral infection in Huh-7 cells with or without hDPP4 expression. Wild-type (WT) or DPP4 -knockout Huh-7 (KO) cells were infected with MjHKU4r-CoV-1 or MERS-CoV for 24 h. IFA was performed (D, scale bars, 200 μm) and quantified by high content screening (E), and viral titer (F) and RNA copy number (G) were determined in the supernatant. (H–K) Viral infection in KO cells after hDPP4 re-introduction. IF staining in Huh-7 KO cells transfected with hDPP4 expression plasmid or empty vector (H, scale bars, 200 μm) quantified by high content screening (I), and viral titer (J) and RNA copies (K) were determined in the supernatant at the indicated times. Data are presented as means and standard errors of the means (SEMs) of at least triplicate measurements in (E–G and I–K). Statistical significance was assessed using a two-tailed Student’s t -test in (E and I) and two-way ANOVA in (F, G, J, and K). See also Figure S4 .
Article Snippet: For the detection of hDPP4 protein in Huh-7 cells, the membrane was incubated with goat anti-hDPP4 polyclonal antibody (R&D, 0.3 μg/mL) and detected with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated rabbit anti-goat IgG (Proteintech, 1:5,000).
