VSV-FL+(2) VSV Plasmid Expression Vector
The plasmid pVSV-FL+(2) encodes the antigenomic-sense (or positive-sense) RNA of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) expressed from the bacteriophage T7 promoter in pBS, which has been further modified to contain the hepatitis delta ribozyme used to generate a precise 3 end of the VSV antigenomic RNA and a T7 terminator sequence cloned between the SacII and SacI restriction sites in pBS-SK+ [1, 2]. The reverse genetics method used to recover recombinant VSV (rVSV) from plasmids involves the transfection of vaccinia-T7 infected cells with 4 different plasmids; one that express the rVSV antigenome (pVSV-FL+(2)) and 3 other that express the VSV N, P, and L proteins, the cDNAs of which are also under control of T7 promoters.
It is the responsibility of the principal investigator to seek Institutional Biosafety Safety Committee approval for recombinant DNA, transgenic animal or infectious agent use within their laboratory spaces and maintain an Institutional Biosafety Safety Committee approval during the time period these materials are used.
