Using pathogen inactivation treatment to study the stability of platelet messenger RNA
Pathogen inactivation (PI) techniques are designed to increase the safety of blood products by damaging RNA and DNA of pathogens. Even though platelets are anucleate, they synthesize proteins using RNA and the ribosomal machinery derived from megakaryocytes. The role of protein synthesis in platelet...
