Vaccinia virus

VR-2153 ^™

Vaccinia virus strain vTF7-3 [Wr] is propagated in BS-C-1 cells (ATCC CCL-26). This strain was constructed in vitro by transfecting vaccinia virus-infected cells with pTF703 cells (ATCC 67202) and was deposited by the National Institutes of Health. It expresses bacteriophage T[7] RNA polymerase.

This product requires a VS 16-6A permit, which can be downloaded at the USDA website here. Please submit the completed permit form to [email protected] with your ATCC sales order number and/or your purchase number noted in the subject line and body of the email.

BSL 2

ATCC determines the biosafety level of a material based on our risk assessment as guided by the current edition of Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is your responsibility to understand the hazards associated with the material per your organization’s policies and procedures as well as any other applicable regulations as enforced by your local or national agencies.

ATCC highly recommends that appropriate personal protective equipment is always used when handling vials. For cultures that require storage in liquid nitrogen, it is important to note that some vials may leak when submersed in liquid nitrogen and will slowly fill with liquid nitrogen. Upon thawing, the conversion of the liquid nitrogen back to its gas phase may result in the vial exploding or blowing off its cap with dangerous force creating flying debris. Unless necessary, ATCC recommends that these cultures be stored in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen rather than submersed in liquid nitrogen.

General

Specific applications: Expresses bacteriophage T[7] RNA polymerase.

Characteristics

Comments: Cells which have been infected with this construct can be transfected by plasmids which contain a gene targeted for expression inserted between a T7 promoter and T7 terminator.

Expresses bacteriophage T[7] RNA polymerase.

Recombinant virus constructed in vitro.

Expression of the T7 RNA polymerase is directed by the P7.5 promoter which includes early and late regulatory signals.

Constructed by transfecting vaccinia virus-infected cells with pTF703 (ATCC 67202).
Mycoplasma contamination: Not detected
Technical information: ATCC Technical Services does not have technical information on patent deposits that are not produced or characterized by ATCC.
