Sentence |
denotes |
One h following transduction cells were extensively washed and media was replaced. |
T457 |
586-700 |
Sentence |

Sentence |
denotes |
The following day, ppVSV-SARS-2-S/GFP particles were transduced into target cells for 60 min, particles pseudotyped with VSV-G, Lassa virus GP, or no glycoprotein were included as controls. |
T461 |
1045-1265 |
Sentence |
denotes |
24 h following transduction, transduced cells were released from the plate with trypsin, fixed with 4% formaldehyde, and GFP-positive virus-transduced cells were quantified using flow cytometry (Bectin Dickson BD-LSRII). |
T462 |
1266-1502 |
Sentence |
denotes |
To quantify the ability of various SARS-CoV-2 S mutants to mediate fusion, effector cells (HEK293T) were transiently transfected with the indicated pcDNAintron-SARS-2-S expression vector or measles virus H and F (Brindley et al., 2014). |
T463 |
1503-1623 |

T464 |
1624-1856 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Target cells naturally expressing the receptor ACE2 (Vero) or ACE2 negative cells (HEK293T) were transfected with pTM1-luciferase, which encodes for firefly luciferase under the control of a T7 promoter (Brindley and Plemper, 2010). |
