Crude immunoglobulin G isolated from human blood plasma is treated according to a conventional technique (such as the tricalcium phosphate adsorption method) to remove aggregates therefrom to such an extent that they are not detectable by gel filtration analysis. In order to produce an aqueous solution of immunoglobulin G having a reduced anticomplementary activity, the resulting solution is then filtered through a porous polyolefin membrane having a pore size larger than the molecular size of immunoglobulin G, in the presence of a stabilizer having surface activity. The aqueous solution of immunoglobulin G so produced is suitable for use in intravenous injection because its anticomplementary activity is low.

Immunoglobulin G and process for the production thereof

Surface-modified cellulose acetate filaments having a microporous structure located in the peripheral surface layer thereof are prepared by bringing non-modified cellulose acetate filaments which have an average degree of acetylation of 50 to 62% into contact with an organic solvent which is capable of dissolving or swelling the non-modified filaments and by rapidly evaporating the solvent from the filaments. The microporous structure causes the surface-modified filaments to exhibit a desirable silklike touch and an increased intensity in dye exhaustion of from 1.1 to 2.0 times that of the non-modified filaments.

Surface-modified cellulose acetate filaments and a process for producing

A nonwoven fabric having no pattern and composed of 100% synthetic fibers, wherein individual fibers are held together by three-dimensional entanglement into a stabilized sheet form without being subjected to any bonding treatment, which nonwoven fabric has a structure characterized by a specific volume of the nonwoven fabric of 3.5 cm.sup.3 /g or less, a bending index (in terms of R) of individual fibers of 4.0 or more, and a strength efficiency (in terms of S) of the nonwoven fabric of 90% or more. Such a nonwoven fabric has excellent properties which are comparable to conventional woven fabrics in not only hand but also practical performance characteristics. This nonwoven fabric is manufactured by a method which comprises placing on a substantially smooth supporting member a web, 35 to 170 gm/m.sup.2 in basis weight, composed of highly shrinkable synthetic fibers having a potential heat shrinkage of 50% or more, exposing said web to the impact of fine jet streams of water discharged under a pressure of 10 to 35 kg/cm.sup.2, whereby allowing individual fibers to entangle one another, thereafter subjecting the web to wet heat treatment at free length conditions to allow the web to shrink by 50% or more in area, drying the shrunk web at a temperature at which no change takes place in the shape and internal structure of individual fibers, and then subjecting the dried web to heat setting under an applied pressure of 200 g/cm.sup.2 or more.

Nonwoven fabric of three dimensional entanglement

A wet formed web is overfed onto a running net by a liquid stream type web feeding apparatus so as to place the web into folded condition which is then subjected to regeneration and aftertreatments.

Method for producing a non-woven fabric

A feeding apparatus for a sheet-like material is disclosed wherein means for introducing a rectified liquid stream are oppositely provided on both sides of the inlet portion of a slit type guide passage for the sheet-like material.
