Comments |
Live, attenuated vaccine strain. Thermosensitive compared with other wild type strains. Depositor screened by Neurovirulence safety test, and result was compliant. |
Effect on Host |
CPE, refractile rounding and degenration |
Recommended Host |
MRC-5 cells (ATCC® CCL-171™) |
Growth Conditions |
Temperature: 37°C
Recommendations for Infection: Plate cells 16-24 hours prior to infection and infect when cultures are 80-90% confluent. Remove medium and inoculate with a small volume of virus (e.g. 1 mL per 25 cm2) diluted to provide an optimal MOI (e.g. 0.01). Adsorb 1-2 hours at 37°C in a humidified x% CO2 atmosphere. End adsorption by adding virus growth medium. Replace virus growth medium at one day post-inoculation to remove DMSO from the culture.
Harvest by removing culture medium and adding cell dissociation buffer. Dilute in freeze medium containing a final concentration of 7% DMSO and preserve with a controlled-rate freeze (1°C/minute).
Incubation: 3-4 days at 37°C in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere, until CPE is progressed through 60% of the monolayer. |
