TL;DR: An RNA probe hybridization enzyme immunoassay for detection of human parvovirus B19 PCR-amplified DNA is developed that is easy to perform and increases assay sensitivity without the added inconvenience and risk of false-positive results associated with nested PCR.
Abstract: We have developed an RNA probe hybridization enzyme immunoassay for detection of human parvovirus B19 PCR-amplified DNA. The assay is easy to perform and increases assay sensitivity without the added inconvenience and risk of false-positive results associated with nested PCR.

TL;DR: Sera from infants aged 5 to 11 months and from their mothers were used to investigate the level and duration of transplacentally derived measles antibody, and the infants of foreign-born, inner-city mothers were more likely to have measles antibody and were less likely to get measles.

TL;DR: The chemiluminescent microwell hybridization assay was more sensitive than dot-blot hybridization and could be performed in a few hours, therefore, permits rapid and sensitive detection of parvovirus DNA suitable for the clinical setting.

TL;DR: A sensitive immunochemiluminescent Southern blot assay for detecting PCR amplified B19 DNA with a digoxigenin labelled primer that was comparable to nested PCR and at least 100-fold more sensitive than a single PCR amplification.
