Comparative analysis of parvovirus B19 persistence and development of anti-non-structural protein-1 antibodies in the development of parvovirus B19 arthropathy

Parvovirus B19 (B19) is a non-enveloped, single-stranded DNA virus in the family Parvoviridae. The B19 capsid is composed of two structural proteins, VP1 and VP2, which contain multiple epitopes that are recognized by virus-neutralizing antibodies. The major non-structural protein, NS-1, is vital...
