Pathogen Reduction Technology Treatment of Platelets, Plasma and Whole Blood Using Riboflavin and UV Light.
Bacterial contamination and emerging infections combined with increased international travel pose a great risk to the safety of the blood supply. Tests to detect the presence of infection in a donor have a 'window period' during which infections cannot be detected but the donor may be infectious. Agents and their transmission routes need to be recognized before specific tests can be developed. ...
متن کاملPhotochemical inactivation of chikungunya virus in plasma and platelets using the Mirasol pathogen reduction technology system.
BACKGROUND Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a reemerging mosquito-borne virus that has been responsible for a number of large-scale epidemics as well as imported cases covering a wide geographical range. As a blood-borne virus capable of mounting a high-titer viremia in infected humans, CHIKV was included on a list of risk agents for transfusion and organ transplant by the AABB Transfusion-Transmit...
متن کاملGlutathione synthetase from Plasmodium falciparum.
GSH is the major low-molecular-mass thiol in most organisms. The tripeptide maintains a reduced intracellular environment and protects cellular components from damaging oxidation. GSH is synthesized by the action of two ATP-dependent enzymic steps, in which gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase (gamma-GCS) catalyses the ligation of glutamate and cysteine and subsequently glutathione synthetase (GS)...
متن کاملToxicity testing of a novel riboflavin-based technology for pathogen reduction and white blood cell inactivation.
The Mirasol PRT System (Gambro BCT, Lakewood, CO) for platelets and plasma uses riboflavin and UV light to reduce pathogens and inactivate white blood cells in donated blood products. An extensive toxicology program, developed in accordance with International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) 10993 guidelines, was performed for the Mirasol PRT system. Test and control articles for most of ...
