A real-time PCR method was developed to quantitate viral
DNA that includes duplex amplification, internal standardization, and
two-color fluorescence detection without the need to generate an
external standardization curve. Applied to human parvovirus B19 DNA,
the linear range was from 102 to at least 5 × 106 copies per ml of sample. The coefficient of variation
was 0.29 using a run control of 2,876 copies per ml. The method reduces the risk of false-negative results, yields high precision, and is
applicable for other DNA targets.
