Thomas I, Branckaert T, Mathys E, Vranckx R, Laub R

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To determine the prevalence of HCV-RNA-positive plasma pools in Belgium, to validate our PCR method and to increase the safety of the released blood products. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Plasma pools consisting each of about 5,000 donations from Belgian unpaid volunteer blood donors were analysed by PCR for the presence of HCV RNA. Two different extraction methods were compared and...
