Fig. 4: Infection with SARS-CoV-2 elicited antiviral and pro-inflammatory transcriptional programmes, which were significantly weaker than with H1N1 infection.

a–c Gene expression analysis by qPCR of infected bronchial epithelial cells. Data are shown as median + confidence interval. d Spearman correlation between viral titres and gene expression of IFNB1 or TNF of paediatric and adult cells infected with SARS-CoV-2 or H1N1. Correlation coefficients and p values are shown for each treatment individually (purple, SARS-CoV-2; teal, H1N1).
