Effect of the temperature on the efficiency of virus rescue and on the efficacy of transfection in C6/36 cells. (a) West Nile Virus (WNV) infectious clone (2.5ng, 5ng, 10ng and 50ng) under the control of human cytomegalovirus promoter (pCMV) was transfected in C6/36 cells at 28 °C or 37 °C in quadruplicate. Viral RNA copies were quantified by RT-qPCR in cell supernatant at the first passage (upper panel). The % of success to recover a virus is reported in the lower panel. (b) ISA procedure was applied to WNV by transfecting 3 overlapping DNA amplicons (100ng, 500ng and 1000ng) covering the entire viral genome under the control of human cytomegalovirus promoter (pCMV) in C6/36 cells at 28 °C or 37 °C in quadruplicate. Viral RNA copies were quantified by RT-qPCR in cell supernatant at the first passage (upper panel). The % of success to recover a virus is reported in the lower panel. (c) Expression of eGFP in C6/36 cells measured 2 days after transfection of the eGFP gene under the control of the D. melanogaster actin 5C promoter at 28 and 37 °C (left panel).
