Documentation

ATCC determines the biosafety level of a material based on our risk assessment as guided by the current edition of Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is your responsibility to understand the hazards associated with the material per your organization’s policies and procedures as well as any other applicable regulations as enforced by your local or national agencies.

ATCC highly recommends that appropriate personal protective equipment is always used when handling vials. For cultures that require storage in liquid nitrogen, it is important to note that some vials may leak when submersed in liquid nitrogen and will slowly fill with liquid nitrogen. Upon thawing, the conversion of the liquid nitrogen back to its gas phase may result in the vial exploding or blowing off its cap with dangerous force creating flying debris. Unless necessary, ATCC recommends that these cultures be stored in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen rather than submersed in liquid nitrogen.

Detailed product information

Characteristics

Comments
Live attenuated virus derived from serial passage of plaque-purified FIPV 79-1146, a strain isolated by J. Evermann.  Intranasal administration of passage 80 protects adult cats from challenge by virulent virus.  Cross reacts with canine coronavirus, TGE virus of swine and human coronavirus 229E.

This item has been treated with Mycoplasma Removal Agent (MRA) to remove Mycoplasma at the ATCC. The previous item number was ATCC® VR-2201™.

Handling information

Host
Effects
cell rounding; cell sloughing; CPE
Complete medium
Leibovitz's L-15 (ATCC® 30-2008™) + 10% FBS (ATCC® 30-2020™)
Temperature
34°C
Atmosphere
95% Air, 5% CO2
Incubation
1-3 days at 34°C in air atmosphere, humidified, until CPE is progressed through 80% of the monolayer.
Recommendation for infection
For best results, infection should be performed on an 80-90% 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 0.01-0.1 recommended). Wash monolayer one time with PBS or serum free medium prior to inoculation. Adsorb virus dilution for 1-2 hours at 34°C in air atmosphere, humidified, rocking every 20-30 minutes to redistribute inoculum. End adsorption by adding virus growth medium.
