Development and characterization of a reverse genetics system for the lineage II Chicava strain of Machupo virus in a guinea pig model. by Emily Mantlo, Junki Maruyama, John T Manning, Rachel A Reyna, Cheng Huang, Slobodan Paessler

“…We characterized the multiplication kinetics of rMACV-Chicava in African green monkey kidney epithelial Vero cells, followed by determining the virulence phenotype in outbred Hartley guinea pigs.<h4>Principal findings</h4>We demonstrated that the multiplication kinetics in Vero cells, virulence phenotype in guinea pigs, and neutralizing antibody titers are indistinguishable between rMACV-Chicava and the wild-type parental virus.…”
