Photoreaction with psoralen, a DNA-crosslinking reagent, induces mitotic recombination in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Psoralen damage-induced recombination was studied with non-replicating plasmids, which transform yeast cells by undergoing recombination events with chromosomal DNA. When plasmid DNA was photoreacted with psoralen

Cytokines generated in platelet concentrates (PCs) during storage have been implicated as possible mediators of febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reactions. Two potential methods of white cell inactivation were compared for their ability to reduce cytokine synthesis in pooled random-donor PC aliquots:
