Tissue/Cell type
Kidney cells of Chlorocebus aethiops - Grivet monkey - African green monkey
Transfer is subject to CITES regulations.
Genetically modified (GenTSV)
yes
The VeroE6 cell line has been modified to constitutively express the serine protease TMPRSS2, under selection of geneticin. The resulting VeroE6/TMPRSS2 cells were shown to be highly susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection and can be used to produce large viral stock.
To construct TMPRSS2-expressing VeroE6 cells, the coding sequence of human TMPRSS2 was inserted into an expression vector pAP3neo (Takara Bio, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/2656021). VeroE6 cells were transfected with pAP3neo encoding human TMPRSS2 and cultured in the presence of 1.0 mg/ml geneticin (G418; Nacalai Tesque).
