ABSTRACT:
A method for the inactivation of prions, viruses and other infectious agents, which might be present in a biological raw material (e.g. plasma for the preparation of albumin), leaving the desired biological product (e.g. BSA, HSA) intact. To achieve this, the biological raw material is treated with a chaotropic agent, e.g. urea or siodium thiocyanate for approx. 18 hours. Before this, a detergent, e.g. sodium dodecyl sulfate, as well as ethanol or methanol can be added, and the solution can be heated to 70.degree. C. and kept at this temperature for 30 minutes. After cooling and acidification, denatured globulins can be removed. By modifications of this process (e.g. different concentrations, pH-values, temperatures etc.) a wide range of biological products (serum, plasma, proteins, peptides, gangliosides etc.) can be treated and rendered free of viruses, prions and all other infectivity.
