The most extended virus collection with a One Health vision

Virus collection

For human and animal, antiviral screening

We can manage the construction of any kind of autofluorescent viruses or viral vectors for imaging application. We work on different kind of starting materials, from plasmid to large oncolytic vectors. Our technology has been applied to investigate the dynamics of a broad variety of DNA. Our virus collection is constantly expending.

As the ANCHOR system is not suitable to tag RNA viruses, we use classical virology readouts such as high throughput quantification of cytopathic effect, TCID50 or qPCR. Other readouts such as high throughput immunofluorescence are also available for some viruses.

DNA viruses and ANCHOR™ tagged viruses

Any viruses having a dsDNA phase can be tagged with ANCHOR™. Here you will find a list of viruses available for immediate use. We annually expand this collection with new viruses to quickly respond to human or veterinary threats.

Your virus of interest is not in this list? Do not hesitate to contact us, we will find a solution!

Note: Viruses having biodefense applications are underlined. Italic implies availability of in vivo efficacy testing
