METHODS FOR INACTIVATING VIRUSES

摘要

The present invention is for improved methods of inactivating viruses in a sample by exposing the sample to a combination of pressure treatment and exposure to an inactivating agent. The sample can be repeatedly cycled between relatively high and low pressures and the inactivating agent is selected from ethyleneimine, ethyleneimine oligomers, psoralens, DNase and RNase.
