Complete mediumEMEM (ATCC® 30-2003™) + 2% FBS (ATCC® 30-2020™)
Temperature37°C
Atmosphere95% Air, 5% CO2
Incubation2-4 days at 37°C in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere, until CPE is progressed through 80% of the monolayer.Recommendation for infectionPlate cells 18-24 hours prior to infection and infect when cultures are 80-90% confluent. Remove medium and inoculate with a small volume of virus (e.g. 1 mL per 25 cm2) diluted to provide an optimal MOI (e.g. 0.1). Adsorb 1-2 hours at 37°C in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere. End adsorption by adding virus growth medium.Handling notesStrain fully sequenced by depositorKey abbreviations°C, Degrees Celsius
