Product Description

Ref-SKU:
007V-05545
This clonal virus is based on the Wuhan strain and carries a precise deletion of the viral E gene (Envelope). In its place, a functional GFP gene has been inserted. The mutation renders the virus replication incompetent in the absence of a trans-complemented E function. The missing E protein can be provided by means of a SARS-CoV-2-susceptible VeroE6 derivatized cell line (in stock). The produced virus can be used as a "single-cycle" virus, which is able to infect cells and produce all proteins (except E) for one cycle of virus production.
