Also, similarly to primary monocytes and macrophages, the PMA-differentiated THP-1 cells restricted HCoV-OC43 replication, with no detection of production of infectious virus (Fig. 1B ) or viral antigens (data not shown). When HCoV-229E infection of human primary monocytes/macrophages was performed at a MOI of 1, infectious virus was under the detection limit at 3 dpi but viral antigens were still easily detected within the infected cells until at least 5 dpi (data not shown). When HCoV-229E infection of both primary monocytes and THP-1 cells was performed at a MOI of 0.1, the kinetics of infection was similar, as shown by infectious virus production ( Fig. 2A) and detection of viral antigens (Fig. 3A) . ./cache/cord-272458-72dybi7t.txt ./txt/cord-272458-72dybi7t.txt
