Madin-Darby canine kidney cells (MDCK) (ATCC CCL-34), human lung adenocarcinoma epithelial cells (A549) (ATCC CCL-185), human embryonic kidney HEK293T cells (293T) (ATCC CRL-3216), and Lewis lung carcinoma LL/2 (LLC1) cells (ATCC CRL-1642) of C57BL were purchased. The 293T-IAV-Luc cell line is constructed by our previous study [70 (link)]. The cells were maintained in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM, Gibco) supplemented with 10% (v/v) heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS, Lonsera, 711-001S, www.lonsera.cn), 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 ug/mL streptomycin at 37°C in an atmosphere containing 5% CO2. The influenza A/WSN/1933 (WSN), influenza A/California/2009/04 (CA04), and influenza A/Puerto Rico/8/1934 (PR8) strains were propagated in MDCK cells. A/Darwin/6/2021/H3N2, A/chicken/Hebei/LC/2008(H9N2) (HB08) strain and Sendai virus (SeV) was propagated in 9-day-old SPF chicken embryonated eggs purchased from Beijing Vital River Animal Technology Co., Ltd. (licensed from Charles River) at 37°C for 72 h.
