Bulk culture recognition of PUUV proteins. PBMCs (4–5 × 106) were stimulated with 20 μl of infectious PUUV (strain K27; 2.6 × 106 pfu/ml) and cytotoxicity assays were performed using autologous BLCLs infected with recombinant vaccinia viruses expressing PUUV N, G1, G2/Bs or G2/Sm protein as targets. The recombinant vaccinia virus designated vac-G2/Bs contains the first half of the G2 cDNA (amino acids 1 to 256), and the recombinant designated vac-G2/Sm contains the second half of the G2 protein (amino acids 227 to 490). E/T ratios were either 60:1 or 80:1. Unlabeled wild-type vaccinia virus infected BLCL were included in all wells at a ratio of 10:1 unlabeled: labeled targets, to reduce levels of vaccinia virus-specific lysis. Data shown represent the percent specific lysis after subtraction of wild-type vaccinia virus background lysis. Responses >10% above background were considered positive.
