   Experimental Models: Cell Lines
   Sentences	Resources
   SARS-CoV-2/Massachusetts/VPT1/2020 (MA/VPT1) was isolated in Vero E6 cells from a nasopharyngeal specimen collected in April 2020.	Vero E6 suggested: None
   MDCK-hCK cells were kindly provided by Y. Kawaoka (University of Wisconsin-Madison).	MDCK-hCK suggested: None
   MDCK-NBL2, Vero E6, CV-1, A549, CRFK, Mv1Lu, RD, Hep-2c, HeLa, and L20B cells were obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) or maintained at CDC’s Division of Scientific Resources	MDCK-NBL2 suggested: CLS Cat# 602280/p823_MDCK_(NBL-2, RRID:CVCL_0422) A549 suggested: None Hep-2c suggested: ECACC Cat# 85020207, RRID:CVCL_2940) HeLa suggested: None L20B suggested: None
   All 25 cell lines listed in Table 1 were obtained from Quidel Corporation (San Diego, CA) in pre-seeded 24-well plates except for CRFK and RhMK cells, which were obtained in T-75 flasks and seeded into 24-well plates in the lab one day prior to infection.	RhMK suggested: ATCC Cat# CRL-6317, RRID:CVCL_U238)
   Exogenous expression of ACE2 in MDCK cells: Constructs co-expressing full-length hACE2 or cACE2 with mCherry2 protein (CMV promoter-ACE2-IRES-mCherry2) were generated and transfected into MDCK-SIAT1 cells via electroporation with Lonza Nucleofector system (Lonza) using the manufacturer’s protocol with program A024.	MDCK suggested: None
   1.5×106 MDCK-SIAT1 cells were transfected with 10 μg DNA (pCMV-hACE2-IRES-mCherry2, pCMV-cACE2-IRES-mCherry2, or pCMV-IRES-mCherry2 empty control).	MDCK-SIAT1 suggested: ECACC Cat# 05071502, RRID:CVCL_Z936)
