Plasma derivatives are concentrates of specific plasma proteins prepared from pools (many units) of plasma. Plasma derivatives are obtained through a process, known as fractionation, developed during World War II, and are heat-treated and/or solvent detergent-treated to kill certain viruses, like those that cause AIDS and hepatitis B and C. Plasma derivatives include: - Factor VIII Concentrate
- Factor IX Concentrate
- Anti-Inhibitor Coagulation Complex (AICC)
- Albumin
- Immune Globulins, including Rh Immune Globulin
- Anti-Thrombin III Concentrate
- Alpha 1-Proteinase Inhibitor Concentrate
