FIG. 6.

Stability of the internal conformation of VP1u in native capsids. B19 capsids were subjected to freeze-thaw cycles (2 and 10) or to a long period of storage (10 weeks) at 4°C. (A) Capsids were immunoprecipitated with MAb 1418-1 (V; against VP1u) or 860-55D (C; against intact capsids). (B) Following various freeze-thaw cycles, the PLA2 activity of B19 capsids (1.2 μg) was measured and compared to the activity of heat-treated (37 and 60°C) particles.
