Abstract

Regulatory guidelines for production of plasma-derived products emphasize the need to document methods of viral inactivation and demonstrate the effectiveness of screening methods. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the kinetics of such processes. Togaviridae family virions may be considered as good tools for quality control of haemoderivatives, if they possess large amounts of cholesterol and saturated lipids and high structural lipid/protein ratio in their envelope composition, which give more resistance to classical treatments. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of solvent-detergent and heat treatments adopted during the human haemoderivatives processment. Sindbis virus was used as a model for inactivation of enveloped viruses. Semi-processed human factor VIII (FVIII) product experimentally contaminated with Sindbis virus was used to test a solvent-detergent treatment with tri-N-butyl-phosphate (TNBP) and Tween 80. To evaluate thermal inactivation kinetics, lyophilized, and reconstituted samples of Sindbis virus-containing FVIII were incubated up to 30 h at 60 degrees C. The results showed that treatment with TNBP and Tween 80 reduced the infectivity of virus-contaminated FVIII in > or =5.5 log(10) ...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
