Characteristics
Comments
ATCC VR-1819 was treated for Mycoplasma sp. at the ATCC by three passages with media supplemented with an antibiotic (Mycoplasma Removal Agent – Bio-Rad catalog BUF035). The original item number was ATCC VR-25.
Handling information
Host
BHK-21 [C-13] (ATCC CCL-10)
Effects
CPE; cell degeneration; cell rounding
Complete medium
EMEM (ATCC 30-2003) + 10% FBS (ATCC 30-2020)
Temperature
37°C
Atmosphere
95% Air, 5% CO2
Incubation
5-12 days at 37°C in a humidified 5% CO2atmosphere, until CPE is progressed through 80% of the monolayer.
Recommendation for infection
For best results, infection should be performed on a 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). Wash monolayer with PBS or serum free medium prior to inoculation. Adsorb virus dilution for 2-3 hours at 37°C in a humidified 5% CO2atmosphere, rocking every 20-30 minutes to redistribute inoculum. End adsorption by adding virus growth medium.
