To examine the ability of heat to inactivate CCoV, 500 lL aliquots of virus samples were incubated in duplicate in a 15 mL polypropylene conical tube (Falcon, Becton Dickinson Labware) for increasing periods of time at three different temperatures: +56°C, +65°C and +75°C. To examine formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde inactivation of CCoV, aliquots of virus and aldehyde samples, each at two different dilutions, were incubated at +4°C, +25°C and +37°C, respectively, for up to 3 days. Despite the differences in stability during heat treatment at 56°C between SARS-CoV and CCoV, the several methods of CCoV inactivation, including inhibition of viral entry, could be applied as animal models to study human coronavirus infection, reducing the risk of accidental exposure to the virus through unsafe laboratory practices. ./cache/cord-269025-2j37561h.txt ./txt/cord-269025-2j37561h.txt
