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.

Technical information
ATCC Technical Services does not have technical information on patent deposits that are not produced or characterized by ATCC. Additional information can be found in the corresponding patent available from the patent holder or with the U.S. and/or international patent office.

Handling information

Host
MA-104 Clone 1 (ATCC CRL-2378.1)
Effects
cell rounding; cell sloughing; CPE
Complete medium
EMEM (ATCC 30-2003) + 2 µg/mL Trypsin
Temperature
37°C
Atmosphere
95% Air, 5% CO2
Incubation
1-7 days
Recommendation for infection
Plate cells 24 hours prior to infection and infect when cultures are 80-90% confluent. Pre-treat ATCC VR-2018 with 10 μg/mL of trypsin for 30 minutes in a 37°C water bath. Remove medium and inoculate with a small volume of virus (eg, 1 mL per 25 cm2) diluted to provide an optimal MOI (eg, 0.1). Adsorb 1-2 hours at 37°C in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere while continuously rocking. End adsorption by adding virus growth medium.
