ATCC Human herpesvirus 5; Strain: UL32-EGFP-HCMV-TB40
Supplier: ATCC VR3348

Human herpesvirus 5 strain UL32-EGFP-HCMV-TB40 is propagated in MRC-5 cells (ATCC CCL-171). This strain was sourced from the in vitro recombination of HCMV strain TB40 with a plasmid carrying the TB40 UL32 gene fused to GFP. Because GFP is associated with a structural protein, virus particles fluoresce green under appropriate illumination; this is useful for following intracellular traffic of virus particles.
