In monkeys, following intranasal inoculation with 10 6 TCID 50 of SARS-CoV, the virus was isolated from throat and nasal swabs, and the viral genome was detected in rectal swabs collected between 2 and 7 days postinoculation (p.i.). Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2, a receptor for SARS-CoV 2 antigen-positive cells were observed in the virus-infected area and were repairing swelled type II alveolar epithelium in the lung of monkeys ( Figure 1A , B, and C). In BALB/c mice, the virus was detected in nasal and lung washes on days 3 and 5 after intranasal inoculation with 10 6 TCID 50 of SARS-CoV. In these experimental animals, ACE2 antigen-positive cells were observed in the virus-infected area and were repairing swelled type II alveolar epithelium (Table 1 ). ./cache/cord-263350-i02z0hgx.txt ./txt/cord-263350-i02z0hgx.txt
