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 1 mL per vial
Storage Conditions
-70°C or colder
Comments
FBS used to culture Chlamydia must be prescreened to verify that the serum does not contain antibodies to Chlamydia or other factors that would interfere with growth.
LGV II strain 434 was initially accessioned as an egg passaged preparation (VR-902) and subsequently adapted to cell culture at ATCC and reaccessioned as VR-902B. Dilute high titer stocks to avoid cell toxicity.
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) at ATCC on the McCoy cell line (ATCC® CRL-1696™) used as the host has shown the presence of Mus Musculus mobilized endogenous polytropic provirus and Murine leukemia virus.
Effect on Host
Inclusion bodies visualized by fluorescent staining with genus or species specific conjugated monoclonal antibodies.
Recommended Host
McCoy cells (ATCC CRL-1696)
Growth Conditions
Temperature: 36°C to 37°C
Recommendations For Infection: For best results cells should be 24 to 48 hours old and 80-90% confluent (not 100% confluent).
Incubation: 3 days, a 5% CO2 in air atmosphere is recommended.
Name of Depositor
J Schachter, adapted at ATCC
Source
Bubo from human with LGV
