title: Inactivation of HIV in plasma derivatives by beta-propiolactone and UV irradiation.
abstract: The inactivation of HIV in human plasma and plasma derivatives by combined treatment with beta-propiolactone and UV-irradiation was investigated. beta-propiolactone inactivated greater than or equal to 3.5 log10 and UV greater than or equal to 2.8 log10 HIV in plasma and beta-propiolactone greater than or equal to 3.5 log10 in cryoprecipitate and UV irradiation greater than or equal to 4.5 log10 in factor VIII concentrate.
