Comments
FBS used to culture Chlamydia must be prescreened to verify that the serum does not contain antibodies to Chlamydia or other factors that would interfere with growth.
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) at ATCC on the McCoy cell line (ATCC® CRL-1696™) used as the host has shown the presence of Mus Musculus mobilized endogenous polytropic provirus and Murine leukemia virus.
Effect on Host
Intracellular inclusion bodies visualized by fluorescent staining
Recommended Host
McCoy cells (ATCC CRL-1696?)
Growth Conditions
Temperature: 36°C
Recommendations for Infection: For best results, infection should be performed on a 80-100% confluent, 24-48 hour old cellular monolayer. Sonicate seed material for 20 seconds at approximately 240W to disrupt cells. Prepare dilution of chlamydia in minimum amount of volume (e.g. 1 mL per 25 cm2). Remove cell growth medium and inoculate with disrupted material. For adsorption, centrifuge at 1500 x g at 25°C for 1 hour. End adsorption by adding agent growth medium.
Incubation: Incubate infected culture for 72 hours at 36°C in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere.
Preservation: Controlled rate freeze.
