Abstract
The newly emerged MERS-CoV infects human bronchial epithelial Calu-3 cells. Unlike SARS-CoV which exclusively infects and releases through the apical route, this virus can do so through either side of polarized Calu-3 cells. Infection results in profound apoptosis within 24 hrs irrespective of its production of titers that are lower than those of SARS-CoV. Together, our results provide new insights into the dissemination and pathogenesis of MERS-CoV and may indicate that differs markedly from SARS-CoV.
