Importantly, and in agreement with the results observed in cells depleted of the type III IFN receptor, this increase in infectivity was also associated with an increase in infectious denovo virus particle production ( Fig. 3G ). All together, these results strongly support a model where the type III IFN mediated signaling controls SARS-CoV-2 infection in human intestinal epithelial cells. All together these results show that human colon organoids can support SARS-CoV-2 infection, replication and spread and that the type III IFN response plays a critical role in controlling virus replication. ./cache/cord-275690-83nrzfon.txt ./txt/cord-275690-83nrzfon.txt
