Vero CCL-81 (ATCC), Huh7 (Procell, Wuhan, China), HepG2 (Procell), Hep3B217 (known as Hep 3B2.1-7, Procell), and BHK21 (Procell) were cultured in DMEM (Hyclone, Shanghai, China) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Gibco, Shanghai, China) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco). Li-7 (Procell), SNU182 (MeiSenCTCC, Hangzhou, China), SNU387 (MeiSenCTCC), and SNU761 (MeiSenCTCC) were cultured in RPMI 1640 (Hyclone, Shanghai, China) supplemented with 10% FBS (Gibco) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco). The PEDV-SD strain was isolated and stored in our laboratory. Recombinant rPEDV-EGFP was produced by transfecting infectious cDNA clones into BHK21 cells as previously described [16 (link)]. The viruses were titrated on the Vero CCL-81 cells by TCID50. Rabbit monoclonal antibody against PEDV N was purchased from Shanghai Ango Biotech.

Additionally, Vero-hACE2-TMPRSS2 cells were cultured in the presence of 5 μg/mL puromycin. The WA1/202 (2019n-CoV/USA_WA1/2020) isolate of SARS-CoV-2 was obtained from the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The B.1.1.7 and WA1/2020 E484K/N501Y/D614G viruses have been described previously (Chen et al., 2021 ; Xie et al., 2021a ). Infectious stocks were propagated by inoculating Vero CCL81 or Vero-hACE2-TMPRSS2 cells. Supernatant was collected, aliquoted, and stored at −80°C. All work with infectious SARS-CoV-2 was performed in Institutional Biosafety Committee-approved BSL3 and A-BSL3 facilities at Washington University School of Medicine using positive pressure air respirators and protective equipment.

Vero E6 (CRL-1586, American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), Vero CCL81 (ATCC), and Vero-furin cells47 were cultured at 37°C in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 10 mM HEPES pH 7.3, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 1× non-essential amino acids, and 100 U/ml of penicillin–streptomycin. The 2019n-CoV/USA_WA1/2019 isolate of SARS-CoV-2 was obtained from the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Infectious stocks were grown by inoculating Vero CCL81 cells and collecting supernatant upon observation of cytopathic effect; debris was removed by centrifugation and passage through a 0.22 μm filter. Supernatant was then aliquoted and stored at −80°C.

Propagation and Quantification of HSV Variants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HSV1/TF+ and HSV/TF− were propagated in TF-inducible human melanoma cells [24 (link)] and purified as previously described [23 (link)]. Comparable in vitro plaque forming units (PFU) per virus particle (VP) number was ensured [25 (link)]. Thus, each virus preparation had similar numbers of VP/mL and PFU/mL. This was achieved by introducing UV-inactivated virus into higher PFU/VP preparations. Viruses were purified by sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation, quality assured for lack of cellular debris and quantified to derive VP/mL by negative staining electron microscopy [25 (link)]. All cells were shown to be mycoplasma free. To derive the number of infectious viruses, plaque assays on African green monkey kidneys cells (Vero, CCL-81; ATCC, Manassas, VA) were conducted, as previously described [23 (link)].

Vero E6 (CRL-1586, American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), Vero CCL81 (ATCC), and HEK293 cells were cultured at 37°C in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 10 mM HEPES pH 7.3, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 1X non-essential amino acids, and 100 U/ml of penicillin–streptomycin
SARS-CoV-2 strain 2019 n-CoV/USA_WA1/2020 was obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (a gift from Natalie Thornburg). The virus was passaged once in Vero CCL81 cells and titrated by focus-forming assay (FFA) on Vero E6 cells. The recombinant luciferase-expressing full-length SARS-CoV-2 reporter virus (2019 n-CoV/USA_WA1/2020 strain) has been reported previously (Zost et al., 2020 (link)), and the D614G variant will be described elsewhere (R. Baric, manuscript in preparation). All work with infectious SARS-CoV-2 was performed in Institutional Biosafety Committee approved BSL3 and A-BSL3 facilities using appropriate positive pressure air respirators and protective equipment.

Vero E6 (CRL-1586, American Type Culture [ATCC]), Vero CCL81 (CCL-81, ATCC), and HEK293T (CRL-3216 ATCC) were maintained at 37°C in 5% CO2 in Dulbecco’s minimal essential medium (DMEM) containing 10% (vol/vol) heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS), 10 mM HEPES pH 7.3, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 1× non-essential amino acids, and 100 U/mL of penicillin-streptomycin. Vero-furin cells were obtained from T. Pierson (NIH) and have been described previously39 . Expi293F cells (ThermoFisher Scientific, A1452) were maintained at 37°C in 8% CO2 in Expi293F Expression Medium (ThermoFisher Scientific, A1435102). ExpiCHO cells (ThermoFisher Scientific, A29127) were maintained at 37°C in 8% CO2 in ExpiCHO Expression Medium (ThermoFisher Scientific, A2910002). Mycoplasma testing of Expi293F and ExpiCHO cultures was performed on a monthly basis using a PCR-based mycoplasma detection kit (ATCC, 30-1012K).

Human epidermoid cancer cell line (HEp-2, CCL-23) and African green monkey kidney epithelial cell line (Vero, CCL-81), originally obtained from ATCC (Manassas, VA, USA), were purchased from Cell Bank of Chinese Academy Sciences (Shanghai, China). Human lung adenocarcinoma epithelial cell line (A549, CCL-185) was purchased from the ATCC. The cells were cultured in DMEM (Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium, high glucose, Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA), supplemented with 10% heat inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS), L-glutamine, nonessential amino acids, and sodium pyruvate at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2. Human RSV strain A2 was propagated in A549 cells as previously described45 (link). Because RSV retains a close association with the host cell membrane and has a tendency to aggregate during centrifugation procedures, the stock of crude supernatant was used after a titer was determined.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
