RNAseq of Calu-3 epithelial cells treated with Cyclosporin A. RNAseq of Calu-3 epithelial cells treated with Cyclosporin A

Calu-3 cells are human lung cancer cells that serve as a model of respiratory epithelial cell model. Here, Calu-3 cells are used as a cell system for Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus and treated with Cyclosporin A To assess the effect of Cyclosporin A on the host cells, uninfected cells were treated with CsA or DMSO, RNA was extracted and compared against the DMSO treated control cells.
