From: Low dose inocula of SARS-CoV-2 Alpha variant transmits more efficiently than earlier variants in hamsters

Fig. 5

M0 THP1 cells were treated with filtered, virus-free conditioned media supernatants (prepared from Calu-3 cells infected with different variants as indicated) at dilution 0.1x (1:10 dilution with DMEM) and 1x (no dilution) for 2 or 6 h. Expression of immune genes were then measured by qPCR analysis. Data shown are mean ±SD, n = 3, statistical comparison are made by Student’s t test.
