Inactivation of Middle East respiratory syndrome‐coronavirus in human plasma using amotosalen and ultraviolet A light	2017-12-14		.txt	text/plain	4522	212	49	Furthermore, inoculation of inactivated plasma on Vero E6 cells did not result in any cytopathic effect (CPE) even after 7 days of incubation and three consecutive passages, nor the detection of MERS RNA compared to pretreatment samples which showed complete CPE within 2 to 3 days postinoculation and log viral RNA titer ranging from 9.48 to 10.22 copies/ mL in all three passages. Furthermore, inoculation of inactivated plasma on Vero E6 cells did not result in any cytopathic effect (CPE) even after 7 days of incubation and three consecutive passages, nor the detection of MERS RNA compared to pretreatment samples which showed complete CPE within 2 to 3 days postinoculation and log viral RNA titer ranging from 9.48 to 10.22 copies/ mL in all three passages. Similar to SARS-CoV, there is no proven evidence so far of transfusion-transmitted MERS-CoV infections, 25 but the presence of viral RNA in plasma and serum of acute patients raises this concern especially in endemic areas like Saudi Arabia.	./cache/cord-305871-w1quh4fx.txt	./txt/cord-305871-w1quh4fx.txt
