Vero cells, derived from the kidneys of female green monkeys, were obtained from World Health Organization (WHO) (WHO, RCB 10‐87). Vero E6 was purchased from American Type Culture Collection (VERO C1008, Vero 76, clone E6, Vero E6). NutriVero FLEX‐20 and NutriVero Flex‐10 are serum‐free, animal component‐free medium. FLEX‐20 was specially designed for serum‐free adapter WHO, RCB 10‐87 Vero cells, Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM), fetal bovine serum (FBS), nonessential amino acids (NEAAs), l‐alanine‐l‐glutamine, penicillin/streptomycin (pen/strep) antibiotics, recombinant trypsin‐EDTA solution, trypan blue solution, and phosphate‐buffered saline (PBS) were purchased from Biological Industries, Israel (05‐069‐1A, 05‐068‐1A, 01‐055‐1A, 04‐121‐1A, 01‐340‐1B, 03‐022‐1B, 03‐031‐1C, 03‐079‐1A, 03‐102‐1B, and 02‐020‐1A, respectively). OptiPRO SFM was purchased from Gibco (12309‐019). Fibra‐Cel carriers were purchased from Eppendorf (New Brunswick Scientific; M1292‐9984). Alamar blue was purchased from Promega (CellTiter‐blue, G808). Calcein AM was purchased from Sigma‐Aldrich (C1359). Tragacanth was purchased from Merck (G1128).

Lentiviral Production of SARS-CoV-2 Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEK293T cells (ATCC, Manassas, VA) were seeded in 10 cm cell culture plates at a density of 4 × 106 cells/plate. The cells were maintained in 293T medium composed of DMEM high glucose (4.5 g/l; Merck, Rahway, NJ) supplemented with 10 % fetal bovine serum (FBS; Biological Industries), 1× NEAA (Biological Industries), and 2 mM L-alanine–L-glutamine (Biological Industries, Israel). Lentiviral stocks, pseudo-typed with VSV-G, were produced in HEK293T cells as previously described (Kutner et al., 2009 (link)). Briefly, each of the pLVX plasmids containing the SARS-CoV-2 genes or EGFP for control were cotransfected with third-generation lentivirus helper plasmids at equimolar ratio; 48 hr later, the lentivirus-containing medium was collected and supernatant was clarified by centrifugation (500 g, 5 min) and filtration (0.45 µm, Millex-HV, Merck Millipore, Burlington, MA). All virus stocks were aliquoted and stored at –80 °C until thawed for subsequent use.

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.
