Summary

• SARS-CoV-2, Virus Like Particles (Ha-CoV2) Kappa (B.1.617.1): hybrid alpha-pseudovirus for SARS-CoV-2 (Ha-CoV2) for strain Kappa (B.1.617.1) The hybrid alpha-pseudovirus for SARS-CoV-2 (Ha-CoV-2) is a newly developed SARS-CoV-2 virus-like particle (VLP) that encapsulates an alphavirus-derived RNA genome for rapid report expression (luciferase or GFP) in target cells (Hetrick et al., 2022). Different from commonly used S protein pseudotyped lenti- or vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV)-pseudoviruses, Ha-CoV-2 is assembled with all 4 structural proteins (S, M, N, and E) of SARS-CoV-2, and contains a reporter genome derived from an alphavirusbased vector for rapid (6 hours) and robust expression of reporter genes. The alphavirus vector does not contain any of the structural proteins from the authentic virus and the alpha-pseudovirus particles are single-cycle. Formulation & Storage:  Store at -80°C. Notes & Usage Guidelines: Spike Mutations: Spike E154K, Spike L452R, Spike E484Q, Spike D614G, Spike P681R, Spike Q1071H Size: 25 X 200 µL ~100 wells/96 well plate or 60x Conc. 5 x 100 µL Reporter: Available with Firefly luciferase, GFP, or RFP
