Compared to other published datasets of SARS-CoV-2 infection models in Calu-3, J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f A549-ACE2, and primary (non-alveolar) normal human bronchial epithelium (NHBE) (Blanco-Melo et al., 2020) , iAT2s were able to uniquely capture the downregulation of AT2-specific programs, such as decreased surfactant gene expression and loss of lamellar body gene ontology (GO) terms (comparative gene set enrichment based on lung-related GO biological processes; Figure S3 ). ./cache/cord-301556-f3m9gwvo.txt ./txt/cord-301556-f3m9gwvo.txt
