Virus: Vaccinia Virus, Lister Strain

Virus Preparation: Purified virus

Cell Line for Propagation: Vero

DNA Copy Number: 1-2 × 104 copies/µL (varies by lot, please contact ABI for details)

CAUTION: ABI does not recommend storage of dilutions of these controls under any conditions. All dilutions should be made immediately before use and used promptly. We have observed that dilutions used for standard curves may tend to "lose" copy number with time (sometimes a matter of an hour or so after dilution), especially at dilutions less than 100-1000 copies per microliter.

PCR Analysis of DNA Control: PCR analysis was performed on the VacciniaLister DNA using the PE Biosystems GeneAmp® Gold PCR Reagent Kit and primers specific to the thymidiae kinase gene of Vaccinia. The reaction produced a 552 bp fragment.

Suspending Buffer: 10 mM Tris, 1 mM EDTA, pH 8.0

DNA Quantitation: Viral DNA copy number is determined by real time PCR using the Roche LightCycler®. DNA copy number may vary depending on the quantitation method used.
