    Abstract: A system and method for removing a target species from a fluid source is provided. The system includes a reciprocating fluid cleansing device, including a processing chamber with a port at a first end for fluid passage and a movable plunger at a second end, wherein the plunger in contact with a fluid includes a motorized mixing element for mixing the fluid with species-targeting magnetic particles. Motion of the plunger in a first direction transfers a first volume of the fluid from the fluid source into the processing chamber. Motion of the plunger in a second direction transfers the first volume of the fluid from the processing chamber to a fluid destination. At least one magnetic element provides a magnetic field gradient within the processing chamber. A connector connects the port of the first processing chamber to the fluid source and the fluid destination.

    Abstract: The present invention provides for engineered molecular opsonins that may be used to bind biological pathogens or identify subclasses or specific pathogen species for use in devices and systems for treatment and diagnosis of patients with infectious diseases, blood-borne infections or sepsis. An aspect of the invention provides for mannose-binding lectin (MBL), which is an abundant natural serum protein that is part of the innate immune system. The ability of this protein lectin to bind to surface molecules on virtually all classes of biopathogens (viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoans) make engineered forms of MBL extremely useful in diagnosing and treating infectious diseases and sepsis.
