Technology Overview
Dr. Jay Nelson has a collection of HCMV strains available for licensing as a package or on an individual strain basis. These are all clinical isolates that are at early passage and have not been adapted to any cell type and should therefore retain both endothelial and epithelial cell tropism.
The strains which are available include:
Adinis
Brown
Davis
Dement
Edding
Gerry
Gruden
Harris
Keone
Lacey
Lysistrata
Martinez
New Rock
Phoebe
Powers
Salvo
Schmoe
Simpson
Watkins
These strains are useful for a variety of research applications.
Licensing Opportunity The strains listed in OHSU #1221 are currently available for non-exclusive licensing as internal research tools. The package of all 19 strains listed above can be licensed as a package through technology OHSU #1121, or individual strains can be licensed through their individual technology numbers (OHSU #1121-A, OHSU #1121-B, etc.: see Related Technologies).
