Biosafety Level:2
Shipped: frozen
Permits/Forms: In addition to the MTA mentioned above, other ATCC and/or regulatory permits may be required for the transfer of this ATCC material. Anyone purchasing ATCC material is ultimately responsible for obtaining the permits. Please click here for information regarding the specific requirements for shipment to your location.
Host Organism : CV-1 cells (ATCCCCL-70); Rat2 cells (ATCCCRL-1764; BSC40 cells primate cell lines; Vero cells (ATCCCCL-81); HeLa cells (ATCCCCL-2); chicken chorioallantoic membrane; rat 2 (TK-) cells
Incubation : Temperature: 36.0°C Duration: incubate at 36C
Effect : Yes, in vitro effects: Cytopathic effects (cell rounding, syncytium formation)
Comments : Raccoon poxvirus CDC # V71-I-85A was plaque purified three times then plasmid pKB3-JE-13 (ATCC40280) was transfected to cause insertion of CVS rabies glycoprotein cDNA in the thymidine kinase gene, inactivating it. Plaque titration is on CV-1, BSC40 or Rat2 cells. Adsorb virus for 2 hours at 36C, overlay with DMEM + 2% FBS (liquid overlay is OK) incubate for 72 hours, stain monolayer with 0.01% crystal violet in 10% formalin, rinse with PBS.
