Molecular analysis of inactive and active RHD alleles in native Congolese cohorts.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Nonenveloped transfusion-transmissible viruses such as hepatitis A virus (HAV) and hepatitis E virus (HEV) are resistant to many of the common virus inactivation procedures for blood products. This study investigated the pathogen inactivation (PI) efficacy of the THERAFLEX UV-Platelets system against two non...
