Abstract excerpt
We examined 46 samples of human interferons for the presence of pestivirus RNA by the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, and found 30.4% were contaminated with pestivirus RNA. Comparative analysis of nucleotide sequences in the 5' untranslated region (UTR) of the pestivirus RNA detected from the interferons indicated that the contaminants are derived from bovine viral diarrhea virus, and that there...
