ABSTRACT:
A method for externally eradicating by inactivation infectious pathogenic contaminants in body tissues, such as blood, so that it can be introduced into an animal comprises admixing the body tissues with an effective, non-toxic, amount of a photoactive agent which selectively binds to the contaminant, passing the resulting mixture through an irradiation chamber, and then irradiating the resulting mixture with an effective level of visible light for an effective period of time to eradicate the contaminants.
