Functions and physicochemical properties of human plasma proteins prepared by filtration through the microporus regenerated cellulose membrane (BMM) hollow fibers were tests.
Factor-VIII, Factor-IX, antithrombin-III, Fibrinogen and complement activities were not decreased after passed through these membranes having their mean pore size larger than 20 nanometer.
Physicochemical properties were also maintaned.
ATLV, HIV, HBV and non-A, non-B hepatitis viruses may be eliminated from human plasma using these membranes.
This filtration methods are quite useful to get a virus free plasma or blood products.
