摘要:
Synthetic media formulations are disclosed for use with blood preparations intended for in vivo use, including essentially magnesium free synthetic media formulations to be employed in conjunction with the photodecontamination of platelets.
摘要:
Synthetic platelet storage media is disclosed for use with blood preparations intended for in vivo use. The synthetic platelet storage media is prepared by providing sodium chloride, sodium citrate, sodium acetate and sodium phosphate, and formulating in water 45-120 mM sodium chloride, 5-15 mM sodium citrate, 20-40 mM sodium acetate and 20-30 mM sodium phosphate.

摘要:
Methods of photodecontamination are described which employ phosphate buffered aqueous solutions. Blood products comprising plasma are diluted with these solutions and treated with psoralen.
摘要:
Methods are disclosed for photodecontamination to inactivate microorganisms in platelet preparations and for removal of psoralen after photodecontamination. Removal is achieved by contacting the psoralen with a psoralen-binding polymer.
摘要:
Intravenous administration of 8-methoxypsoralen is disclosed, and more specifically intravenous administration of 8-methoxypsoralen-blood preparations, including platelets. Random donor platelet bags are treated, stored and pooled prior to transfusion.

摘要:
Biological compositions are freed of functional polynucletides by treatment of the biological composition with psoralen derivatives under irradiation conditions in which the proteins retain their original physiological activities and any polynucleotide present is rendered inactive. More specifically blood components are decontaminated of viruses by the addition of psoralen and irradiation and thereafter adding glucose.
