Abstract

Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is the prototypical member of the Rhabdoviridae family of negative-sense single-stranded RNA viruses. This virus has been used as a powerful model system for decades and is currently being used as a vaccine platform and an oncolytic agent. Here, we present methods to propagate, quantitate, and store VSV. We also review the proper safety protocol for the handling of VSV, which is classified as a Biosafety Level 2 pathogen by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
