Replication of bovine- and mink-derived H5N1 viruses in mammalian cell lines with and without raw milk supplementation. Viral replication levels expressed as log 10 TCID50 equivalents per mL from RT-qPCR targeting the influenza A matrix gene in MDCK, A549, MDBK, Vero, and MV1 cells at 24 h post-infection (MOI = 0.01) with bovine H5N1 (A/dairy cattle/Kansas/5/2024) or mink H5N1 (A/Mink/Spain/3691-8_22VIR10586-10/2022). Cells were incubated in standard medium (without milk) or raw milk–milk-supplemented medium (with milk). Data represent individual technical replicates ( n = 3). Viral loads were calculated using a validated standard curve correlating Ct values to known viral titers (R 2 = 0.9779, linear range 10 2 –10 8 TCID50/mL). Results represent RNA levels as log 10 TCID50 equivalents; correlation with infectious virus production requires validation.

Optimizing hCoV-OC43 NG-ns12.9 ds-circDNA transfection and co-cultivation for infectious NG virus production. ( A ) The N protein promotes virus production from CPER-derived ds-circDNAs. HEK293T cells were co-transfected with an FL hCoV-OC43 NG-ns12.9 ds-circDNA along with an hCoV-OC43 N expression vector (pCOC42) or a control vector (pFLAG-CMV-5.1) and then co-cultivated with HCT-8 for 8 days. The numbers of NG + HCT-8 cells were counted and averaged from 10 random microscopic fields on days 6, 7, and 8 (D6–D8) post-transfection. ( B ) A representative microscopic field showing the NG + HCT-8 cells co-transfected by an FL hCoV-OC43 NG-ns12.9 ds-circDNA with an hCoV-OC43 N expression vector (pCOC42) or a control vector pFLAG-CMV-5.1 on D6 and D8. ( C, D ) Fetal bovine serum (FBS), but not new calf serum (NCS), is required for efficient virus production in HCT-8 cells. HEK293T cells were co-transfected with an FL hCoV-OC43 NG-ns12.9 ds-circDNA along with an N expression vector pCOC42 and maintained in DMEM supplemented with 2% FBS overnight. The transfected cells were then co-cultivated by the addition of HCT-8 cells with cell passage every 3 days for a total of 10 days in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS or 10% NCS. The number of NG + HCT-8 cells was counted and averaged from 10 random microscopic fields on D8–D10 ( C ). Significantly more NG + HCT-8 cells were shown from the cells with an FL NG-ns12.9 ds-circDNA on D8–D10 when growing in the DMEM containing 10% FBS when compared with 10% NCS ( D ). ( E ) hCoV-OC43 induced visible and well-defined cytopathic effect (CPE) in both LLC-MK2 and Mv1Lu cells. The monolayer of LLC-MK2 or Mv1Lu cells in ~70% confluence was infected with WT hCoV-OC43 (100 µL supernatant of infected HCT-8 cells). One representative microscopic field is shown for each cell type. ( F ) Mv1Lu cells are more sensitive than LLC-MK2 cells for hCoV-OC43 infection and plaque formation. Plaque assays of LLC-MK2 and Mv1Lu cells were infected with 100 µL of each diluent after serial 10-fold dilutions of WT hCoV-OC43 virus and overlayed with semisolid media (1× DMEM, 0.5% methylcellulose and 10% FBS) for 8 days. The plaques were fixed for 30 min by 3.7% formaldehyde solution and stained with 1% crystal violet.

The Mv1Lu cells were infected by 100 µL of each diluent after serial 10-fold dilutions of the collected HCT-8 culture supernatant collected on D6 described above ( C ). Virus titers are calculated as fluorescent-forming units (FFU/mL) (right bar graph), showing a higher titer of hCoV-OC43 NG-ns12.9 virus (1.2 × 10 6 FFU/mL) than hCoV-OC43 NG-Δns2 virus (4.0 × 10 4 FFU/mL).

The visible virus plaques of hCoV-OC43 NG-Δns2 and hCoV-OC43 NG-ns12.9 on D8 in Mv1Lu cells were visualized by crystal violet staining.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Positional NG insertion into the hCoV-OC43 genome to determine hCoV-OC43 replication and synthesis direction of viral sgRNAs. ( A ) Agarose gel electrophoresis of CPER-derived hCoV-OC43 ds-circDNAs (black arrow) of NG-Δns2 (lane 1) and NG-ns12.9 (lane 2). See for details. ( B and C ) Visualization and quantification of NG + HCT-8 cells after co-cultivation with HEK293T cells transfected with CPER-derived hCoV-OC43 NG-Δns2 or NG-ns12.9 ds-circDNAs. HEK293T cells were transfected with individual FL ds-circDNA products along with an hCoV-OC43 N protein expression vector pCOC42 and then co-cultivated by addition of HCT-8 cells for the indicated days. ( B ) Representative microscopic images on D6 showing NG + HCT-8 cells from the NG-Δns2 or NG-ns12.9 ds-circDNA. ( C ) Numbers of NG + cells quantified from 10 random microscopic fields on D5 and D6, showing more NG + cells (**, P < 0.01, Student’s t -test) for the NG-ns12.9 ds-circDNA than that of the NG-Δns2 ds-circDNA. ( D ) Northern blot analysis of hCoV-OC43 RNA from HCT-8 cells in co-cultivation with HEK293T cells transfected by CPER-derived NG-Δns2 ds-circDNA (lane 1) or NG-ns12.9 ds-circDNA (lane 2) or infected by wild-type (lane 3) viruses. Total RNA extracted from the D6 cells was analyzed by Northern blot using a 32 P-labeled probe antisense to the hCoV-OC43 N ORF. The sgRNAs containing inserted NG are labeled in green. ( E, F ) Virus titration of the HCT-8 cell culture supernatant collected on D8 co-cultivation by using methylcellulose-overlay fluorescent foci ( E ) and plaque ( F ) assays in Mv1Lu cells. ( E ) Representative images of fluorescent foci on D8 of infected Mv1Lu cells (left panel). The Mv1Lu cells were infected by 100 µL of each diluent after serial 10-fold dilutions of the collected HCT-8 culture supernatant collected on D6 described above ( C ). Virus titers are calculated as fluorescent-forming units (FFU/mL) (right bar graph), showing a higher titer of hCoV-OC43 NG-ns12.9 virus (1.2 × 10 6 FFU/mL) than hCoV-OC43 NG-Δns2 virus (4.0 × 10 4 FFU/mL). ( F ) Titration of hCoV-OC43 NG-Δns2 and NG-ns12.9 virus titers by plaque assays using Mv1Lu cells infected by 100 µL of each diluent after serial 10-fold dilutions of the HCT-8 culture supernatant collected on D6 of the cell co-cultivation. The visible virus plaques of hCoV-OC43 NG-Δns2 and hCoV-OC43 NG-ns12.9 on D8 in Mv1Lu cells were visualized by crystal violet staining.

Determination of virus infectivity and replication capacity of hCoV-OC43 NG-Δns2 and NG-ns12.9 virions by de novo virus infection of HCT-8 and Mv1Lu cells. ( A and B ) hCoV-OC43 NG-Δns2 and NG-ns12.9 virions exhibit equal infectivity to HCT-8 cells. HCT-8 cells were infected in parallel with 0.01 MOI of hCoV-OC43 NG-Δns2 or NG-ns12.9 virions titrated, as described in . NG + HCT-8 cells were quantified from five random microscopic fields at days 1, 2, and 3 post infection (D1–D3) of the indicated virus. ( A ) No difference in NG + HCT-8 cells from infection with the NG-Δns2 to NG-ns12.9 virions. ( B ) Selectively shown are one representative fluorescent image each from the HCT-8 cells infected with the NG-Δns2 or NG-ns12.9 virions at D3 post-infection. ( C and D ) hCoV-OC43 NG-Δns2 and NG-ns12.9 virions from the infected HCT-8 cell culture supernatant exhibit equal replication capacity with similar virus titers in Mv1Lu cells. The supernatant from the HCT-8 cells infected by 0.01 MOI of NG-Δns2 or NG-ns12.9 virions was collected on D3 post infection and, after serial 10-fold dilutions, 100 µL of each diluent was used to infect Mv1Lu cells, and titration of viral infectivity was carried out by the methylcellulose-overlay fluorescent foci assay ( C ). Virus titers for NG-Δns2 and NG-ns12.9 virions were calculated as fluorescent-forming units (FFU/mL) shown in a bar graph with NG-Δns2, 1.5 × 10 4 FFU/mL and NG-ns12.9, 2.0 × 10 4 FFU/mL ( D ).
