The ARPE-19 human retinal pigment epithelial cell line (American Type Culture Collection [ATCC], Manassas, VA)17 (link) was cultured in 1:1 Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM):F12 medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific-GIBCO, Grand Island, NY) supplemented with heat-inactivated 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; GE Healthcare-Hyclone, Logan, UT) at 37°C and 5% CO2 in air. Phenotype of cells was verified by confirming the presence of 69 retinal pigment epithelial cell signature transcripts, which are expressed by the ARPE-19 cell line,18 (link) in the RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) transcriptional profile of EBOV- and mock-infected cells (Gene Expression Omnibus [GEO] Accession Number GSE100839). Ebola virus (Zaire ebolavirus, EBOV variant Mayinga) was amplified in Vero C1008 cells (European Collection of Authenticated Cell Cultures [ECACC], Salisbury, UK), cultured with DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS at 37°C and 5% CO2 in air, and titrated by end-point dilution of culture supernatant in fresh Vero C1008 cell monolayers.
