Research Projects • Safety and QC Standards • Parvovirus B19 (5 studies) • B19 DNA, Anti-B19, Case Report, B19 Infectivity In Vitro, Transfusion-Related Infections Prospectively Studied (TRIPS) • HCV (2 studies) • HCV Nt Abs, Molecular Effect of HCV Core Protein in B cells (Wu) • Anti-HAV, anti-D, Anti-Measles, and Molecular Integrity studies • Nt epitopes for HCV, SARS-CoV, and FIX Inhibitors (Zhang)
Reference Standards Established Through International Collaborations • Global (WHO/CBER/Eur Ph) potency standard for anti-D Immune Globulin products [Vox Sang 2003] • WHO/CBER HAV RNA standards for NAT assays [Vox Sang 2005] • WHO/CBER reference reagents to limit levels of anti-D in immune globulin products [Vox Sang 2005]

Future DirectionsSafety and Efficacy of Plasma-Derived Products • Setting up NAT and infectivity assays to detect and quantify emerging viral pathogens (& variants) in plasma-derived products • Selecting, enriching and assessing broadly reactive Nt Abs for HCV, parvovirus B19, HBV, SARS, and HAV • HCV pseudoparticles, phage display libraries, in-vitro cultures • Developing safety and potency standards
