Hepatitis removed from blood plasma process proposed
Tufts researchers report a method to remove the hepatitis antigen from blood plasma units used in surgery and by hemophiliacs. The approach, using a hepatitis antibody, aims to reduce transmission risk from pooled plasma products and could lower contamination levels below current test detection. Dr Stanley Charm and Bing Wong presented the finding at the American Chemical Society meeting.

Aspirin Use by Donor May Endanger Recipients
A blood donor who took aspirin within 24 hours of giving blood may threaten recipients as aspirin slows blood clotting. Dr. John T. Collins Jr. of Tripler Army Medical Center warned at the International Transfusion Congress that delayed clotting harms those with clotting problems or severe post accident bleeding. A separate note explains how antibody-antigen complexes in plasma are filtered to reduce infectious agents.
