This study explores the testing of B19 virus genotypes, including testing of plasma donation samples, QC testing of plasma fractionation pools, and detection of genotypes 2 and 3 using NAT assays. The study also discusses the potential prevalence of non-genotype 1 variants and the detection strategy employed.

B19 Virus Testing NAT Testing Operations • Testing of plasma donation samples • QC testing of plasma fractionation pools • Example Talecris B19 virus testing system: • Donation mini pool test - Qualitative NAT assay* • Detects genotypes 2 and 3 at high-titer • QC test for fractionation pool - Qualitative NAT assay* • Detects genotypes 2 and 3 at high-titer • Investigational test - Quantitative NAT assay** * colorimetric readout ** fluorogenic readout
B19V Testing at Talecris Biotherapeutics (formerly Bayer Biological Products) NAT development and technical operations activities • Assessment of B19 virus test performance • Quantitation of all elevated samples (2000-2002) against WHO standard (genotype 1) • Tracking and trending of B19 virus unit interdictions • Investigational assessment of viral loads in fractionation pools • Development of reagents for investigation and technology improvements • Archive of positive samples • Archive of screened mini-pools
Potential for the Detection of B19V Genotypes During High-throughput NAT Testing Talecris Human B19 virus genotypes - Prevalence Study • Purpose • To determine the potential prevalence of non-genotypes 1 variants (e.g. genotypes 2 and 3) • Design • Differential detection of variants using NAT • Specific primer and fluorogenic probe combinations to include or exclude detection of genotypes • Secondary testing of archived materials previously screened for elevated B19 virus genotypes (including 340 individual reactive samples) • Archived samples with reduced B19 virus loads (elevated samples removed) • NAT testing using primers and detection probe specific for B19V variants • Demonstrated to detect synthetic A6, V9, and D91.1 targets • Does not detect B19V genotype 1 below 106 IU/ml

Variant Target WT B19 Stds Potential for the Detection of B19V Genotypes during high-throughput NAT Testing • Detection using the B19 Universal Variant Probe • UVP can detect genotype 2 (A6) and genotype 3 (V9) DNA targets • UVP does not detect genotype 1 targets below 106 IU/ml
Potential for the Detection of B19V Genotypes During High-throughput NAT Testing Study Materials • Manufacturing-scale plasma sample pools • Pools containing 3840 donations (40 X 96 donation sample minipools) • Combine 40 of the 96-donation sample minipools • Samples screened between 2000-2002 • high-titer samples removed and analyzed using genotype 1 specific test • 960 sample pools • Combine 10 of the 96-donation sample minipools • Samples screened between 2002-2003 • high-titer samples removed and analyzed using genotype 1 specific test
Detection of B19 Virus Genotypes 2 and 3 During High-throughput NAT Testing Study Results
Potential for the Detection of B19V Genotypes During High-throughput NAT Testing Study Conclusions • High-titer units containing B19 virus genotypes 2 and 3 are rare among U.S. source plasma donations • None of the study materials contained detectable levels of B19 virus genotypes 2 and 3 • Analysis of 340 reactive samples did not identify B19 virus genotypes 2 and 3 • The prevalence of B19V genotypes 2 and 3 in the U.S. source plasma supply chain appears to be low • If B19 virus genotypes 2 and 3 were present in fractionation pools, levels would have been below the detection limit of the utilized assay
Potential for the Detection of B19V Genotypes During High-throughput NAT Testing Comments • Standardized material unavailable thus use of synthetic DNAs was required • Archived study material was representative of 1,5 million donations • To accelerate availability of results archived material collected for other purposes was used
B19 Virus Genotypes Knowledge from the literature and collaborative communication • Prevalence • Genotypes 2 and 3 not frequently detected in blood or plasma donations;Hokynar et al., 2004, JClinMicrobiol.; 42(5):2013-9. • Genotype 1 (47%) and Genotype 2 (2.5%) detected in batches of clotting factor concentrates;Schneider et al. 2004, ThrombHaemost: 92(4):838-45 • Genotypes 2 and 3 identified in diagnostic clinical specimens;Sanabani et al., 2006, JClinMicrobiol. 44(2):604-6; Cohen, Gandhi, and Clewley, 2006 JClinVirol. ;36(2):152-5. • Genotype 3 endemic in Ghana;Parsyan et al., 2006, JClin Microbiol. 44(4):1367-75. • Profile of viremia • Persistence of variant genotypes (?) • Viral loads associated with variant genotypes (?) • Pathogenesis associated with variant genotypes (?)
B19 Virus Parsimony Genotypes 2 and 3 vary ~ 5-15% from genotype 1 Servant et al., 2002 JVirol. 76(18):9124-34.
