    Snippet: The respiratory tract is the main target region that is affected by COVID-19 infection. Bulk RNA-Seq data from lung specimens showed low expression levels for ACE2 ( Fig. 1 ). Therefore, we performed an analysis of single cell RNA-Seq using a mouse tracheal dataset, representing a more proximal segment of the respiratory tract. Figure 3 shows the expression of ACE2 mRNA in identified cell types. The highest number of ACE2-positive cells included .....
    Document: The respiratory tract is the main target region that is affected by COVID-19 infection. Bulk RNA-Seq data from lung specimens showed low expression levels for ACE2 ( Fig. 1 ). Therefore, we performed an analysis of single cell RNA-Seq using a mouse tracheal dataset, representing a more proximal segment of the respiratory tract. Figure 3 shows the expression of ACE2 mRNA in identified cell types. The highest number of ACE2-positive cells included the goblet cells, ciliary epithelial cells, endothelial cells, and type I pneumocytes (AT1 cells). There were also sporadic positive cells in the club cell category.
