Comments
This item was isolated in cell culture by three passages in HEp-2 cells This strain belongs to subtype B
Effect on Host
CPE, refractile cell rounding and syncytia
Recommended Host
HEp-2 (ATCC® CCL-23™)
Growth Conditions
Temperature: 37°C
Recommendations for Infection: For best results, infection should be performed on a 70-80% confluent, 18-48 hour old cellular monolayer. Prepare dilution of virus in minimum amount of volume (e.g. 1 mL per 25 cm2), optimized for propagation (e.g. MOI 0.1-0.5 recommended). Wash monolayer with PBS or serum free medium prior to inoculation. Adsorb virus dilution for 1-2 hours at 37°C in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere, rocking every 20-30 minutes to redistribute inoculum. End adsorption by adding virus growth medium. Incubation: 4-6 days at 37°C in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere, until CPE is progressed through 80% of the monolayer.
