Parvovirus B19 infection is associated with anemia and spontaneous abortions. While many qualitative assays are available, a few molecular-based quantitative methods have been described. This study reports the development and optimization of a quantitative direct-probe method for the detection of Pa

β¦ Synopsis
A conserved neutralising epitope was confirmed as the site of specific activity for the monoclonal antibody R92F6. This monoclonal antibody was used to detect B19 viral antigen in serum samples after SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. Twenty samples from the United Kingdom, Ireland, Japan, and the United States were positive with this technique. Serum samples from various control groups were negative.
