[Virology] Growing murine polyomavirus

[Randhawa, Parmjeet]

Dear Colleagues,

I am hoping somebody can direct me as to where I can get infectious
mouse polyomavirus  strain A2 for animal studies. ATCC sells only the
LID-1 strain.

Also does anybody know of a commercial source for baby mouse kidney
cells (I could only find baby hamster kidney cells).

Thanks for your help.
