Immunostaining was performed to visualize SARS-CoV-2 N protein in hamster lung tissues as previously described [31 (link)]. In-house rabbit antiserum against SARS-CoV-2 N protein and goat anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) were used as primary and secondary antibodies, respectively. The nuclei of cell were stained by 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) nucleic acid stain from Thermo Fisher Scientific. Images were acquired with a Carl Zeiss (Dublin, CA, USA) LSM880 system.
