Creators

Description

The method of treating white blood cells is described comprising irradiating a thin film of blood product containing white blood cells with ultraviolet radiation predominantly of a wavelength of 280 to 320 nanometers at an intensity of 4 to 15 milliwatts per square cm., to provide a total energy exposure of 800 to 2800 millijoules per square cm. of ultraviolet radiation for a sufficient time. The white blood cells substantially lose their capability to set off an immune reaction in an alloimmunized patient
