| pubmed-article:8091471 | pubmed:abstractText | Treatment with psoralens and UVA (PUVA) has been shown to be efficacious in eliminating the risk of virus transmission by platelet concentrates (PCs). It has previously been demonstrated that, during the inactivation of cell-free vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) by aminomethyltrimethylpsoralen (AMT) and UVA in PCs, platelet function could be protected either by oxygen removal before irradiation or by inclusion of a type I free radical quencher, such as mannitol. | lld:pubmed |
