产品名称: | Human gammaherpesvirus 4 (HHV-4) |
---|---|
商品货号: | TS133862 |
Classification: | Herpesviridae, Lymphocryptovirus |
Deposited As: | Epstein-Barr virus |
Agent: | Human gammaherpesvirus 4 (HHV-4) |
Strain: | B95-8 |
Common Name: | Epstein-Barr virus |
Applications: | (1984), the B95-8 cells used to produce this strain of EBV are infected with and may also shed an uncharacterized type D retrovirus. |
Biosafety Level: | 2
Biosafety classification is based on U.S. Public Health Service Guidelines, it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that their facilities comply with biosafety regulations for their own country. |
Product Format: | frozen 5 x 1 mL vials |
Storage Conditions: | -70°C or colder |
Comments: | A 1 mL aliquot of this EBV preparation is capable of transforming B-lymphocytes from a preparation of normal human lymphocytes when co-cultivated with a feed layer culture (such as ATCC® 55-X™). VR-1492 is the designation for the ATCC® set of five 1 mL vials of VR-1491. VR-1491 is EBV virus shed in the supernatant of persistently infected and transformed B95-8 cells. The EBV virus itself is of human origin. The B95-8 cells used to produce this strain of EBV are infected with and may also shed an uncharacterized type D retrovirus.
Quality control testing is done by transformation assay instead of TCID 50 |
Effect on Host: | EBV transforms/immortalizes human and other primate B-lymphocytes. Indicators of transformed cells include cone-shaped cells, cells with spike-like projections, and small clusters of healthy cells. |
Recommended Host: | B95-8 cells |
Growth Conditions: | Temperature: 37°C
Recommendations for Infection:xa0Incubate in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere until indicators of successful transformation appear.
Incubation: 10-25 days |
Name of Depositor: | G Miller |
Special Collection: | NCRR Contract |
Source: | Human lymphoblastoid cell line (883L) derived from a patient with transfusion-induced infectious mononucleosis. |
