 AB    Laboratory research commencing in 1982 led to licensing in the United
       States in 1985 of a solvent/detergent (SD)-treated anti-haemophilic
       factor (AHF) concentrate. Licensing was based on (a) studies
       demonstrating the inactivation of several marker viruses [vesicular
       stomatitis virus (VSV), Sindbis virus, Sendai virus], human
       immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and non-A, non-B
       hepatitis virus [NANBHV; now known to be principally hepatitis C virus
       (HCV)] added to AHF just before treatment, (b) the realization that the
       principal viruses of concern in a transfusion setting (e.g. HIV, HBV,
       NANBHV) were all lipid-enveloped, and (c) laboratory, preclinical and
       clinical evidence indicating that AHF and other proteins present in the
       preparation were unaffected. The applicability of the SD method to a
       wide range of products and preparations, high process recoveries, and a
       growing body of viral safety information linked with the failure of
       several other virus inactivation methods to eliminate hepatitis
       transmission fostered the adoption of SD technology by more than 50
       organizations world-wide. SD mixtures are now used in the preparation of
       products as diverse as intermediate purity and monoclonal antibody
       purified AHF and other coagulation factor concentrates, fibrin glue,
       normal and hyperimmune IgG and IgM preparations including those derived
       from tissue culture, plasma for transfusion, and various diagnostic
       controls. Over four million doses of SD-treated products have been
       administered, and numerous laboratory and clinical studies designed to
       assess virus safety have been conducted. SD treatment has been shown to
