Abstract
Extracorporeal perfusion using an immunoadsorbent material specific for disease-related antigens is used for therapy of the disease state. Antibodies to particular antigens, including tumor antigens, viral antigens, and bacterial antigens, are used to prepare the immunoadsorbent material. Patients suffering from the disease are then treated by removing a flow of blood, separating the blood into plasma cellular components, passing the plasma through the immunoadsorbent material, recombining the treated plasma and cellular components of the blood, and returning the treated blood to the patient.
