EXPERIMENTAL MODEL AND STUDY PARTICIPANT DETAILS Vero E6 cells (Vero C1008) were obtained from the German Primate Research Center Göttingen. Cells were maintained in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM with GlutaMAX TM , Gibco) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Merck), 50 units/mL penicillin, 50 μg/mL streptomycin (Gibco), 2 µg/mL tetracycline (Sigma) and 10 µg/mL ciprofloxacin (Bayer) at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2. Vero E6 cells were authenticated in 2021 by means of Cytochrome C Subunit I (COI) DNA Barcoding by the Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH (DSMZ). Furthermore, the cells were routinely tested to ensure they were negative for mycoplasma contamination, using the MycoAlert Assay Control Set (Lonza).
