Irradiated blood refers to blood products that have been exposed to ionizing radiation to prevent the proliferation of certain immune cells, particularly lymphocytes. This process is commonly used to reduce the risk of transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease (TA-GvHD) in immunocompromised patients. The radiation helps to ensure that the transfused blood does not mount an immune response against the recipient's tissues.
After separating the red blood cells from the donated blood, they are irradiated with a gamma source. Irradiation is used to minimize the chance of transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease.
Means something has been exposed to radiation.
CAFO eggs (um, "grocery-store" eggs) are irradiated to reduce contamination, chiefly salmonella.
Irradiated food can often be identified by the presence of the "radura" symbol, which is a logo indicating that the food has undergone irradiation. Additionally, packaging may include labels that state the food has been irradiated or treated with ionizing radiation. While the appearance or taste of irradiated food may not differ significantly from non-irradiated food, these labeling indicators are the most reliable way to confirm its treatment.
For recipients of blood transfusions who are especially likely to have graft-vs.-host reactions, the red blood cells can safely be irradiated (using x rays) to kill all the immune cells.
The generic term would be "irradiated", which is also used to mean illuminated but can be identified by its context. This is similar to the use of "contaminated" to mean radioactive.
