title: The removal of hepatitis B virus from factor VIII concentrates by fractionation on ethylene maleic anhydride polyelectrolyte.
abstract: Chromatography with a solid-phase polyelectrolyte based on ethylene maleic anhydride polyelectrolyte (EMA PE) has been shown to remove a large proportion of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), including hepatitis B virus (HBV) particles, from contaminated cryoprecipitate. This process may reduce the risk of transmission of HBV infection when factor VIII concentrates are administered.
