Institutional Review Board Statement IACUC: Ethics and biosafety statement: All animal experiments were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of Rocky Mountain Laboratories, NIH and carried out by certified staff in an Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC) International accredited facility, according to the institution’s guidelines for animal use, following the guidelines and basic principles in the NIH Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, the Animal Welfare Act, United States Department of Agriculture and the United States Public Health Service Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. Randomization Twelve animals were randomly assigned to two groups and inoculated as described previously with a total dose of 2.6×106 TCID50 of SARS-CoV-2 strain nCoV-WA1-2020 via intranasal, oral, ocular and intratracheal routes. Blinding The animals were observed twice daily for clinical signs of disease using a standardized scoring sheet as described previously10; the same person, who was blinded to the group assignment of the animals, assessed the animals throughout the study. Power Analysis not detected. Sex as a biological variable The efficacy of therapeutic remdesivir treatment was tested in two groups of six adult rhesus macaques (3 males and 3 females each; 3.6-5.7kg). Cell Line Authentication not detected. Table 2: Resources
Experimental Models: Cell Lines Sentences Resources VeroE6 cells were maintained in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 1 mM L-glutamine, 50 U/ml penicillin and 50 μg/ml streptomycin. VeroE6suggested: JCRB Cat# JCRB1819, RRID:CVCL_YQ49)Software and Algorithms Sentences Resources Remaining reads were mapped to the SARS-CoV-2 2019-nCoV/USA-WA1/2020 genome (MN985325.1) using Bowtie2 version 2.2.915 with parameters --local --no-mixed -X 1500. Bowtie2suggested: (Bowtie 2, RRID:SCR_016368)PCR duplicates were removed using picard MarkDuplicates (Broad Institute) and variants were called using GATK HaplotypeCaller version 4.1.2.016 with parameter - ploidy 2. GATKsuggested: (GATK, RRID:SCR_001876)Statistical analysis: Statistical analyses were performed using GraphPad Prism software version 8.2.1. GraphPad Prismsuggested: (GraphPad Prism, RRID:SCR_002798)Results from OddPub: Thank you for sharing your data.
