Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: UVC illumination of agitated platelet concentrates (PCs) inactivates pathogens and white blood cells by modifications of their nucleic acids. Related effects on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in platelets serve as a basis for an efficient monitoring suited for routine quality control (QC) of this purely physical pathogen reduction technology. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Samples from PCs (n = 530) were tested...
