Pseudotyped Δ-G/CHIKV-E-NLucP rVSV
rVSVΔG/CHIKV-E-NLucP is a recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus in which the native glycoprotein has been replaced with the Chikungunya envelope (E) (S27 strain).
The resulting virus interacts and enters cells through the Chikungunya Envelope, but once fusion has occurred, replicates using the VSV machinery. The virus also encodes nano-luciferasePEST to enable easy quantification of viral replication. Supplied virus has been passaged two times on Vero cells after the original recovery from the molecular clone.
It is the responsibility of the principal investigator to seek Institutional Biosafety Safety Committee approval for recombinant DNA, transgenic animal or infectious agent use within their laboratory spaces and maintain an Institutional Biosafety Safety Committee approval during the time period these materials are used.

| Product Type: | Virus |
| Biosafety Level: | BSL2 |
| Vector Information: | Virus was generated by transfecting the molecular clone pVSV-d-G/CHIKV-E-NLucP plasmid along with VSV N, P, and L into BHK-T7 cells. Virus was then amplified on Vero cells. The virus encodes nano-luciferase-PEST (NLucP) which enables viral replication to be monitored with luciferase assays. The NLucP is not secreted, so cell lysates should be monitored. |

| Inoculation Conditions: | Produce stocks at low MOI (0.01) and harvest when >80% of the culture shows signs of cytopathic effect |
