To investigate the cell types of HBoV1 persistence, three populations were isolated sequentially from HBoV1 DNA-positive tonsils (Prep 3) using CD antibody-coupled magnetic beads (Dynabeads; Invitrogen), according to the manufacturer’s instructions: T cells with anti-CD3 beads, B cells with anti-CD19 beads for the CD3-depleted cells, and monocytes with anti-CD14 beads for the CD3-CD19-depleted cells. To test the purity of the three isolates, cells from the beads were released with DETACHaBEADS (Invitrogen), and labeled with anti-human CD19-FITC (CD19 labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate) (clone SJ25-C1; Invitrogen), CD3-PE/Cy5.5 (CD3 labeled with phycoerythrin or Cy5.5) (clone UCHT1; Abcam), or CD14-PE (clone MφP9; BD Biosciences) and analyzed on a BD Accuri C6 flow cytometer as described previously (26 (link)). Assessment of the cell fraction proportions is described in Text S1.
