VSV-Pseudovirus_Sudan Ebola Luciferase, ReVacc Scientific
Supplier: ReVacc Scientific
This pseudotyped virus uses recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (rVSV) to carry GP protein of Sudan ebolavirus strain (GenBank: KT878488.1).
Infection of cells with this pseudotyped virus carrying luciferase reporter results in high level luciferase activity. See the titration result showing the undiluted pseudovirus generates signal over 100,000-fold higher than uninfected control (cell alone as background). The neutralizing activity of one published mAb called CA45 was tested by using this pseudotyped virus with a HIV control mAb.
As pseudovirus infectivity of rVSV without its original G is restricted to a single round of replication, the pseudotypes can be handled using BSL-2 containment practices. Applications:
•Anti- Ebola neutralizing antibody screening at high throughput
•Anti- Ebola drug screening at high throughput
•Ebola pseudovirus transduction of target cells for viral entry and functional studies
