Isolation, sequence, infectivity and replication kinetics of SARS-CoV-2

A. Banerjee, J. A. Nasir, P. Budylowski, L. Yip, P. Aftanas, N. Christie, A. Ghalami, K. Baid, A. R. Raphenya, J. A. Hirota, M. S. Miller, A. J. McGeer, M. A. Ostrowski, R. A. Kozak, A. G. McArthur, , S. Mubareka

The paper isolates SARS-CoV-2 from two patients, sequences the virus, and tests its infectivity in human immune cells, finding that PBMCs are not permissive to infection.
