Mumps Virus
No associated image currently available
Native mumps virus preparation Native mumps virus contains a high concentration of virus and viral components. The preparation also contains some cellular material suspended in tissue culture medium (1969B).
Mumps virus is a member of the Paramyxoviridae family and is the causative agent of mumps. Mumps is most typically characterised by painful swelling of the salivary glands and fever. In some adult men, the virus might also infect the testicles, rarely causing sterility. The virus is spread by airborne droplets from the nose or throat and can have an incubation period of up to three weeks. Infected individuals are contagious from approximately 6 days before until about 9 days after the onset of symptoms. The disease is self-limiting and treatment involves controlling specific symptoms. An effective vaccine exists and may be given separately or as part of the MMR vaccine.

Product Details
- Target Species
- Viral
- Product Form
- Inactivated Mumps virus - liquid
- Preparation
- Mumps virus, Enders strain, cultured in BSC-1 cells. Optimally infected cells are harvested, disrupted by sonication in culture medium and subjected to low speed centrifugation. The supernatant from the infected culture is concentrated by crossflow ultrafiltration. The antigen preparation is inactivated using gamma radiation, which primarily damages viral genetic material.
- Buffer Solution
- Culture medium 1969B
- Preservative Stabilisers
- None present
- Activity
- This product has been rendered inactive by standard procedures. However this material should still be handled as infectious and should be disposed of appropriately.
- Approx. Protein Concentrations
- Total protein concentration 2.35 mg/ml.
Storage Information
- Storage
- Store at -70oC.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the protein. - Shelf Life
- 18 months from date of despatch
