2 A comparison of the removal of parvovirus B19 and model parvoviruses from plasma products by virus filtration Shirley Stagg, Samantha Fernando, Amy Shackell, Peter Roberts, Joan Dalton Bio Products Laboratory, Elstree UK

3 Viruses of Concern Virus Envelope Nucleic acid Size (nm) HIV + RNA WNV + RNA HBV + DNA HCV + RNA HAV - RNA B19 - DNA 18-24

4 Parvovirus B19 High prevalence High levels of viraemia Can be asymptomatic Mini pool screening to reduce contamination (<10 4 IU/ml) <10 4 IU/ml may not be infective

5 Animal models Canine parvovirus (CPV) Porcine parvovirus (PPV) Minute virus of mice (MVM) Bovine parvovirus (BPV)

6 Virus inactivation / removal techniques Clearance technique B19 Susceptibility Animal model Solvent / detergent - - Pasteurisation Dry heat treatment Low ph +++ +/- Filtration??

7 Parvovirus filtration

8 Virus Product Filtration Protocol 0.1µm filtration (to remove aggregates) Spiked Product ~100 ml Spiked load sample Load VIRUS FILTRATION Collected in fractions Filtrate

9 B19 Measurement of B19 and CPV Qiagen QIAamp MinElute Virus Spin Extraction Kit Roche LightCycler Parvovirus B19 Quantification Kit CPV Plaque assay (A-72 cells) TCID 50

18 B19 vs CPV Removal of B19 higher than CPV Removal is consistent Why?

19 Factors to be considered: Is it just CPV? Size of particles Presence of antibodies Aggregation B19 plasma sample Filter

20 Removal of parvovirus from buffer by DV20 filtration 6 Log Virus Removal B19 CPV PPV 0 Fr 1 Fr 2 Fr 3

21 PPV removal Filter BPL Study External Study DV Buffer 4.8 IgG

22 Size of virus particles? No obvious difference in size of particles nm in size B19 has smoother surface, may even be slightly smaller Difference in source PPV & CPV - tissue culture grown B19 from +plasma donation

34 Regulatory Question the applicant has shown that this filter is less effective against canine parvovirus which is the same size and shape as human B 19. Does the applicant have any theories as to why the two viruses were not similarly cleared by the filter?

35 Conclusions/theories B19 is removed to a greater extent than CPV or PPV Viruses are the same size Virus stocks are not aggregated Could not demonstrate abs Different B19+ plasma samples gave similar results B19 may bind to some other factor in plasma e.g. globoside? The use of animal parvoviruses represents a true worst case challenge to filters Removal influenced by virus stocks, solution being filtered, filter type
