A METHOD FOR THE HEAT TREATMENT OF PLASMA OF PLASMA FRACTIONS AND COMPOSITIONS OBTAINED THEREBY

摘要

Heat treatment of dry, for instance, lyophilized plasma compositions particularly fractions containing Factor VIII concentrates inactivates undesirable micro-organisms such as any hepatitis virus. Subsequent reconstitution is effected by adding sterile water until solubilization. Therapeutically and diagnostically useful products and procedures are achieved, for instance permitting transfusion of plasma to hemophiliacs without fear of conveying hepatitis.
