Keeping Pace with Parvovirus B19 Genetic Variability: a Multiplex Genotype-Specific Quantitative PCR Assay

Abstract: Three genotypes have been identified within the parvovirus B19 species (B19V), and such genetic diversity may have significant implications for the development of molecular detection assays. In the present study, B19V genetic variability has been examined on a subset of genomic sequences available in the NCBI nucleotide database, and a quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay able to detect, differentiate, and quantify all viral variants has been established. The designed primers and probes have been used for the develop… Show more

“…A B19V viremic serum sample, identified in our laboratory in the course of routine diagnostic analysis and available for research purposes according to Italian privacy law, was used as source of virus for the infection experiments. The viremic serum contained 10 12 B19V (genotype 1) genome copies (geq)/mL, as determined by quantitative PCR analysis, and resulted negative by routine diagnostic assays to other viruses [ 17 ].…”

“…They were later replaced by more sensitive qualitative PCRs (542,1104,(1104)(1105)(1106) and qPCRs (1107,1108). There are many in-house and commercial qPCR assays for genotype-specific as well as pan-B19V amplification for diagnostic and blood screening purposes (242,1042,(1109)(1110)(1111)(1112)(1113)(1114). Many PCR methods show poor sensitivity or fail to detect all three genotypes.…”

“…Primers and probes used in amplification reactions were described by Bonvicini et al . 41 , (B19 primer forward 5'-CGCCTGGAACASTGAAACCC-3', B19 primer reverse 5´-TCAACCCCWACTAACAGTTC-3', and genotype 1 probe 6FAMGTTGTAGCTGCATCGTGGGAAGAMGBNFQ). They were designed by Applied Biosystems and directed against the non-structural protein 1 (NS1, 616-2631 nucleotides) of PV-B19 genotype 1.…”
