SARS-CoV-2 Lin. JN.1; Omicron Var. (USA/NY/PV96109/2023) Culture Fluid (Heat Inactivated) (1 mL)

SARS-Related Coronavirus 2 Lineage JN.1; Omicron Variant (Isolate: USA/New York/PV96109/2023) is an enveloped, positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus from the Coronaviridae family and the Betacoronaviridae genus. Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), isolate hCoV-19/USA/New York/PV96109/2023 was isolated from a human nasopharyngeal swab in 2023, in New York, USA. Under the nomenclature system introduced by GISAID (Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data), SARS-CoV-2, isolate hCoV-19/USA/New York/PV96109/2023 is assigned lineage JN.1 (Pango v.4.3.1 consensus call), Omicron (BA.2-like) (Scorpio) and GISAID clade GRA using the Phylogenetic Assignment of Named Global Outbreak lineages (PANGO) tool. The complete genome of SARS-CoV-2, isolate hCoV-19/USA/New York/PV96109/2023 has been sequenced (GISAID: EPI_ISL_18563626). It was labeled as a variant of interest (VOI) GRA (BA.2.86+BA.2.86.*), and first detected in Denmark/Israel/USA by the World Health Organization (WHO). Each frozen aliquot contains 1 mL of heat inactivated viral culture fluid. The pre-inactivation titer was determined from an infectious aliquot. Viral inactivation is verified after heat inactivation by the absence of viral growth in tissue culture-based infectivity assays.

Heat inactivated viral culture fluids are sold as consumable testing materials. The suitability and performance characteristics should be determined by your laboratory for each intended usage.
