2 Figure 1 Two nested RT-PCR tests designed for the detection of SARS-CoV in NPSs. Lane 1 and lane 3: negative control samples; lane 2 and lane 4: NPS specimens. Primer pairs are IN6/IN7 and F2/R1 used in lane 1 and lane 2, and F2/R1 and F3/R2 used in lane 3 and lane 4. M indicates 50-bp DNA ladder.

3 Figure 2 Western immunoblotting of ACE-2, the SARS-CoV spike protein receptors, in PBMC from HCWs. The basal expression of ACE-2 was not different between HCWs with or without SARS-CoV infection. The expression of ACE-2 was not affected by culturing in 40°C for 24 h. RT(-) = negative for both nested RT-PCRs; RT(+) = positive for only the second nested RT-PCR, SARS = HCWs with SARS; actin was used as an internal control. Vero-E6 = positive control.
