Identification of novel parvovirus B19 variants Lori Rinckel, PhD Talecris Biotherapeutics Raleigh Test Laboratory Nucleic Acid Technology Development
Detection of novel B19 variants • Investigational assay developed in house for parvovirus B19 research studies • Assay performance assessed by testing clinical samples in parallel with test of record • Assessment identified several novel variants of parvovirus B19 CONFIDENTIAL
B19 WT Genotype 1 E3 A6 Variant Genotype 2 V9 Variant Genotype 3 D91.1 Variant Genotype 3 Parvovirus B19 Variant ‘E3’ E3 = Genotype 1 variant: CONFIDENTIAL
D11 Parvovirus B19 Variant ‘D11’ D11 = Genotype 1 variant: CONFIDENTIAL
B19 WT Genotype 1 A6 Variant Genotype 2 D91.1 Variant Genotype 3 V9 Variant Genotype 3 P1 Parvovirus B19 Variant ‘P1’ P1 = Genotype 3 variant: Series of donations from same donor also tested CONFIDENTIAL
‘P1’ Relative Titer CONFIDENTIAL
