Huh7.5 (cancerous Human hepatocytes, RRID:CVCL_7927), HEK293T (transformed human embryonic kidney cells RRID:CVCL_0063), A549, NIH-3T3 (spontaneously immortalized NIH Swiss mouse embryonic fibroblasts, RRID:CVCL_0594), MCA-RH 7777 (cancerous buffalo rat hepatocytes, RRID:CVCL_0444), FEA (spontaneously immortalized cat embryonic fibroblasts, RRID:CVCL_UG17), CRFK (spontaneously immortalized cat kidney epithelial cells, RRID:CVCL_2426), and Vero (spontaneously immortalized green monkey kidney epithelium, RRID:CVCL_0059) cells were maintained in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM; Gibco #41965–039) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal calf serum (Sigma-Aldrich #F75424), and 100 μg/mL of normocin (InvivoGen #ant-nr-2) and grown in cell culture flasks at 37°C in a humidified incubator containing 5% CO2. I/1Ki (boa constrictor kidney cells)[83 (link)] and I/1Ki-Δ (referred to as I/1Ki-SDeV in this paper) [13 (link)] were maintained in Minimal Essential Medium Eagle (MEM; Gibco #31095–029) supplemented with 20% heat-inactivated fetal calf serum (Sigma-Aldrich #F75424), and 100 μg/mL of normocin (InvivoGen #ant-nr-2), and grown in cell culture flasks at 30°C in a humidified incubator containing 5% CO2. All cell lines used in the study were mycoplasma-free and were checked regularly for mycoplasma contamination.
