    摘要: The present invention relates to the treatment of cancers. Specifically, the invention pertains to a method for the extracorporeal treatment of one or more body fluids (e.g., blood or cerebrospinal fluid, CSF) in two stages characterized by removing a body fluid (e.g., blood or CSF) from a living body diseased with a type of cancer, passing the body fluid through a first stage of applying a treatment to at least one antigen in the body fluid. More specifically, the treatment comprises creating an antibody-antigen moiety during passage thereof through said first stage, passing the treated body fluid through a second stage, removing antibody-antigen moiety from the body fluid during passage through the second stage, and returning the purified body fluid to the body.

    摘要: Techniques and devices for removing (filtering out) unwanted/inhibitory components (for example, products, byproducts and/or cell output such as inhibitory catabolic proteins) from a composition (for example, autologous fluid or serum) containing such unwanted/inhibitory components. The devices include at least one construct designed to contain a composition (for example, autologous fluid or serum) containing inhibitory/unwanted components (products, byproducts and/or output of cells such as inhibitory catabolic proteins). The construct is provided with interior walls including specific protein capturing means designed to remove the inhibitory/unwanted component(s) (for example, specific protein(s)) from the composition. Proteins targeted for capture include, but are not limited to, catabolic cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-α, IL-6, TNFα, IFNγ and MMPS as these proteins inhibit the healing process.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a method for removing cytokines and/or pathogens from blood or blood serum (blood) by contacting the blood with a solid, essentially non micro-porous substrate which has been surface treated with heparin, heparan sulfate and/or other molecules or chemical groups (the adsorbent media or media) having a binding affinity for the cytokine or pathogen(s) to be removed (the adsorbates), and wherein the size of the interstitial channels within said media is balanced with the amount of media surface area and the surface concentration of binding sites on the media in order to provide adequate adsorptive capacity while also allowing relatively high flow rates of blood through the adsorbent media.
