Description: This virus is a chimeric alphavirus containing the non-structural proteins of Sindbis virus (SINV) strain TR339 and the structural proteins from Western equine encephalitis virus (WEEV) strain McMillan. This product allows the study of WEEV McMillan in a non Select Agent BSL-2 laboratory setting.
Strain History: TR339 is the consensus wild-type strain of SINV derived from the prototype AR339 isolate (Culex spp. mosquitoes, Egypt, 1952). The genomic sequence is available in NCBI. WEEV strain McMillan was isolated from an infected human in Ontario, Canada in 1941. The genomic sequence is available in NCBI.
Passage History:
- SINV TR339: Mosquito and suckling mice (unknown), CEF (unknown), BHK (unknown). References (1), (2) and (3).
- WEEV McMillan: Mouse (2), Suckling Mouse Brain (1), Vero (2). Reference (1).
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 1x10^7 PFU/mL on BHK cells. For lot titer, see the Certificate of Analysis below.
Format: Clarified and filtered cell culture supernatant frozen at -80°C. Delivered on dry ice.
QA/QC:
- Titer in PFU/mL by plaque assay
- Genome copy number/mL by qPCR
- Whole-genome sequencing by NGS
- Mycoplasma test by PCR
- Sterility test for bacterial contamination
- Endotoxin test <10 EU/mL
- Documentation: Cell culture growth and passage, experimental conditions for QC tests, documentation of all reagents used.
