Plasmapheresis, which is defined as the removal of plasma, can be either "adjusted plasma" or “exchange of plasma”. The former is defined as selective withdrawal of certain (un)-pathological plasma components in different ways such as perfusion and then returning the remained donor plasma to him, the latter is non-selective removal of all components of plasma to provide blood products for injec...

bovine leukemia provirus: evidence of presence of part of gag gene inseminal plasma of naturally infected bullsit is of critical importance to understand the modalities of blv presence in semen, especially with regard to artificial insemination (ai). presence of bovine leukemia provirus was demonstrated in fresh and frozen semen samples by researchers. in this study paired blood and semen sampl...

background: platelet preparations have been used for a wide variety of clinical applications such as hemorrhage, tissue engineering and cellular therapy. platelet concentrates can be prepared by the apheresis method or from the whole blood using the buffy-coat or platelet-rich plasma methods. the purpose of this study was to compare four variations of platelet-rich plasma method based on double...

Background and Aims: Hemophilia is a rare autoimmune disorder caused by autoantibodies directed in the majority of the cases against clotting factor VIII (FVIII). FVIII is extracted from human plasma or engineered from mammalian cell cultures using recombinant DNA technology. In Iran, most of the used FVIII is prepared from human plasma in Iranian Blood Transfusion Organization. It was seen imp...
