PCV2 CC12 (GenBank No.: JQ955679) was isolated previously and stored in our lab [25 (link)].
Cells were plated in 6-well plates at 37 °C for 12 h to reach 70–80% confluency, followed by infection with PCV2 at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 1 for 1 h. Then, cells were washed with PBS twice and cultured in fresh DMEM containing 10% FBS for the indicated time.
