In the present study, we found that field isolates of HCoV-OC43 and HCoV-HKU1 could be isolated using HBTE-ALI cell culture, and we then used these clinical isolates to assess whether the mode of virus entry found in HCoV-229E was also in play in other HCoVs. For isolation of HCoVs, nasal swabs were collected from outpatients who showed respiratory infection as a cardinal symptom when assessed at a hospital in Tokyo, Japan. To evaluate the entry routes of clinical isolates of HCoVs, viruses were inoculated onto HBTE-ALI in the presence of EST or camostat (10 μM) and the amounts virus that entered were estimated by detecting subgenomic mRNAs using real-time RT-PCR (Fig. 2) . ./cache/cord-313091-ksrxsdpp.txt ./txt/cord-313091-ksrxsdpp.txt
