This procedure involves first precipitating adenovirus before it is administered by intubation.

  For 1000 ul:
    2 M CaCl2         2 ul
    10X EMEM          100 ul
    0.2 M L-glut      10 ul 
    Virus             x ul
    Sterile water     888-x ul  
     


1. Calculate the appropriate amount of virus and add it (without CaCl2) along with the other reagents to an ependorff 

2. 20 minutes before you plan on intubating, add the CaCl2 and vortex

3. Use within 1 hour (after 20 minutes of waiting)
