   Cells were incubated on ice for 30-45 min in FACS buffer (PBS1X-5% FCS) containing a 1/250 dilution of Alexa 488-conjugated anti-Spike antibody (GTX632604 conjugated using the Zenon Alexa Fluor 488 Mouse IgG Labeling Kit, ThermoFisher) and washed 4 times in FACS buffer.	anti-Spike suggested: (GeneTex Cat# GTX632604, RRID:AB_2864418)
   , RIG-I (Covalab mab10110), MDA-5 (Ozyme D74E4), and MAVS (ProteinTech 14341-1-AP), followed by secondary horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-mouse or anti-rabbit immunoglobulin antibodies and chemiluminescence Clarity or Clarity max substrate (Bio-Rad).	RIG-I suggested: None MDA-5 suggested: (Cell Signaling Technology Cat# 5321, RRID:AB_10694490) anti-mouse suggested: None anti-rabbit immunoglobulin suggested: None
   Experimental Models: Cell Lines
   Sentences	Resources
   Caco-2 and Calu-3 cells were obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC); HEK-Blue™ IFN-α/β and IFN-γ cells were obtained from InvivoGen; 293T, MDCK, A549, Vero E6 cells were gifts from Michael Malim’s lab, Wendy Barclay’s lab, and from the CEMIPAI facility, respectively.	Caco-2 suggested: None MDCK suggested: None Vero E6 suggested: RRID:CVCL_XD71)
   A549 and Caco-2 cells stably expressing ACE2 and TMPRSS2 were generated by transduction with either RRL.sin.cPPT.SFFV/IRES-puro.WPRE, RRL.sin.cPPT.SFFV/IRES-neo.WPRE, RRL.sin.cPPT.SFFV/IRES-hygro.WPRE or RRL.sin.cPPT.SFFV.	A549 suggested: NCI-DTP Cat# A549, RRID:CVCL_0023)
   Cas9 activity was checked using the XPR_047 assay (a gift from David Root, Addgene 107145) and was 79.5% and >83.4%, respectively, for Cas9-expressing A549-ACE2 and Calu-3 cells.	Calu-3 suggested: KCLB Cat# 30055, RRID:CVCL_0609)
   Lentiviral production and infection: Lentiviral vector stocks were obtained by polyethylenimine (PEI; for LentiGuides) or Lipofectamine 3000 (Thermo Scientific; for ACE2 and TMPRSS2 lentiviral vectors)-mediated multiple transfection of 293T cells in 6-well plates with vectors expressing Gag-Pol, the miniviral genome, the Env glycoprotein at a ratio of 1:1:0.5.	293T suggested: None
