Description: Wild-type alphavirus expressing the reporter protein eGFP at very high levels with minimal effect on viral replication or virulence.

Strain History: TR339 is the consensus wild-type strain of Sindbis virus (SINV) derived from the prototype AR339 isolate (Culex spp. mosquitoes, Egypt, 1952). The genomic sequence is available in NCBI.

Passage History: Suckling mouse brain (8). References (1) and (2)

Production: Transfection of in vitro transcribed viral genomic RNA into baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells. No serial passages performed.

Biosafety Level: 2

Titer: At least 1 x 107 PFU/mL on BHK cells.

Format: 1.0 mL/vial. Clarified and filtered cell culture supernatant frozen at -80°C. Delivered on dry ice.

QA/QC:

  • Titer in PFU/mL by plaque assay
  • Genome equivalents/mL by qPCR
  • Whole-genome sequencing by NGS
  • Mycoplasma test by PCR
  • Sterility test for bacterial and fungal contamination
  • Endotoxin test <10 EU/mL
  • Documented expression of eGFP reporter protein
  • Documentation: Experimental conditions for QC tests, documentation of all reagents used.


Reporter Virus Construction: Reporter protein coding sequences were inserted between the capsid and PE2 loci and contain the 2A-like protease sequence from the Thosea asigna virus (TaV site) at the 3’ end. Upon polyprotein translation in infected cells, the capsid autoprotease domain and the TaV protease cleave the reporter protein from the capsid, resulting in reporter expression independent of incorporation into the virus particle. For additional information, see reference.

Shipping: As this product is a Sindbis virus strain, customers must submit a USDA APHIS permit VS 16-3 to Advanced Virology prior to order shipment. The permit and additional information are available at USDA APHIS Permits.
