Western Equine Encephalitis Reporter Virus Particles

Integral Molecular’s Western Equine Encephalitis Virus (WEEV) Reporter Virus Particles (RVPs) are replication-incompetent pseudotyped virus particles that enable safe (BSL-2), easy, and high-throughput viral infectivity and neutralization assays using standard detection instrumentation. The RVPs display antigenically correct envelope proteins on a heterologous virus core and carry a modified genome that expresses a convenient optical reporter gene within 24 hours of cellular infection. Protocols are provided for neutralization and infectivity assays.
