2 Filter-sterilize (0.2 µm) and keep no longer than 4 weeks. Store at room temperature to facilitate detection of contamination. | |||||
3 Prepare a 25 cm2 flask and seed cells according to standard protocols. Incubate at 28 - 32°C in hermetic flasks. Cells are easily detached mechanically, no enzyme is necessary. Medium should be changed once a week. When a confluent layer has formed, infection can be carried out. |

1 Infect cells with 1 ml of Diplorickettsia stock solution (thawed quickly to 37°C). Incubate for 1 h at room temperature. Cultivation temperature: 28°C. | |||||
2 Up to 100% of the cells should be infected after several days. The infection level is evaluated after 3 days by Cytospin and Gimenez staining. Cytopathic effects may be visible after 3-5 days. Specific PCRs can be performed to verify the presence of diplorickettsiae. |
