Preparation

  1. Prior to use in supplemented medium, L15C was diluted by the addition of 33 % water by volume.
  2. Supplemented L15C medium is used with
  3. The pH is adjusted to pH 7.5 using 1 M NaOH.
  4. <b>Cultivation of IRE11 cells for infection with Rickettsia monacensis :</b>
  5. This medium and the cultivation of tick cells is described in the "Basic Tick Cell Culture Methods" provided as pdf-file (see strain entry for DSM 29017: cultivation conditions) by Tim Kurtti & Uli Munderloh, University of Minnesota.
  6. L15C (Modified Leibovitzs' L15) used to culture host cells (IRE11). L15C medium is a modification of L15B medium, previously described in detail (Munderloh UG, Kurtti TJ. 1989. Formulation of medium for tick cell culture. Exp. Appl. Acarol. 7:219-29).
  7. Alterations were made to the following reagents:
  8. <b>Infection with Rickettsia monacensis or R. buchneri :</b> One 25 cm2 flask of well-grown cells is infected with 1 ml of the Rickettsia strain (quickly thawed from -80°C ) and centrifuged for 1 h onto the cell layer at 1600 rpm at 20°C . Incubate at 30°C with closed lid (without CO2) and look for bacteria and destroyed cells after 4-6 days .
