| pubmed-article:19171001 | pubmed:abstractText | Amotosalen, a psoralen, has been utilized for photochemical treatment (PCT) of apheresis platelets (PLTs) and pooled buffy coat PLTs suspended in additive solution. In the United States, the source of many PLT transfusions is from whole blood-derived PLTs prepared by the PLT-rich plasma (PRP) method. This study investigated the in vitro PLT properties of amotosalen-PCT of leukoreduced pools of PLTs prepared by the PRP method and suspended in 100 percent plasma. | lld:pubmed |
