N IBSC
B19 DNA quantification
• LightCycler real-time PCR (Roche)
• Standard curve established with the B19 international
standard (NIBSC)
N IBSC
B19 infectivity assay
•A clone of UT-7 cells: UT-7/EPO-S1, dependent on
the presence of erythropoietin in the culture medium
•2x105 cells were infected by 30ml of a virus dilution
during the S phase
•Cells were harvested 48 hours post-infection
•mRNA was extracted and amplified by one step
multiplex RT-PCR
•One set of primers detect B19-specific transcripts and
the other set detect a housekeeping gene: Actin

untreated control
•After 72 hours of treatment, no infectious units could be
detected by the infectivity assay

•Although the DNA titre was unchanged by the
treatment (1010 IU/ml), treatment with N2O/CO2 at 206
bars and 50°C resulted in more than 5 log10 reduction
of the number of infectious units (undetectable by our
infectivity assay).

•
• These molecules are triggered only when they bind with
their target, the DNA or RNA of the pathogen. The loss of
DNA or RNA replication is a fatal event for viruses or
bacteria whereas the red blood cells do not need DNA or
RNA to function.
