Host Organism : Production Host: BSC-40 (ATCCCRL-2761) Alternate Host(s): MRC-5, BS-C-1, HeLa, LLC-MK2
Incubation : 1-3 days at 31 C with 5% CO2
Effect : Cytopathic effects in culture include enlargement and rounding of cells, followed by death and sloughing
Store at : -70 C or lower
Comments : Selected after mutagenesis with nitrosoguanidine and replication in the presence of bromodeoxyuridine. The non-permissive incubation temperature is 39.5 C. This mutant was assigned to Dales EM category B, indicating that it induces foci of a fibrous viroplasmic matrix substance in infected cells. The mutation was assigned by complementation analysis (Lackner, et al, 2003) to Vaccinia map location J4 [70405]
