RESUMEN

We have examined isolation and identification protocols for three virus simulant candidates to biological warfare agents. MS2 phage, a simulant for yellow fever virus and Hantaan virus, was propagated using as a host an E. coli strain with F pilus. MS2 phage genome was examined by reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Coat protein of the phage preparation was examined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and mass spectrometric analysis. Cydia pomonella granulosis virus (CpGV) is a virus simulant candidate to smallpox virus. CpGV was isolated from a commercialized CpGV pellet. In this study, we developed new isolation and identification protocols for CpGV. One disadvantage of using CpGV is that it is not easy to determine viability of the virus. Here, we have included T4 phage as an alternative. We established a high titer production protocol and developed an easy genome identification protocol that does not require purified phage DNA. Stability of these virus preparations was also examined under various storage conditions. When the virus preparations were not subjected to freeze drying, MS2 phage was most stable when it was stored in liquid nitrogen but unstable at 4℃. In contrast, T4 phage was most stable when it was stored at 4℃. CpGV was stable at −20℃ but not at 4℃. Stability during or after freeze drying was also investigated. The result showed that 70~80% MS2 survived the freeze drying process. In contrast, only about 15% of T4 phage survived during the freeze drying. CpGV was found to be degraded during freeze drying.
