Abstract
A column for adsorption of blood proteins is disclosed which comprises a blood inlet and a blood outlet each with a filter, and a porous material packed between both the filters, which material has a mean pore diameter (D) of 30-3,000 angstroms with the volume occupied by pores with diameters of 0.8 D-1.2 D being at least 80% of the whole pore volume. The adsorption column can eliminate specific blood proteins by selective adsorption and is useful in the treatment of autoimmune diseases and cancer, for instance.
