Method for quantitatively and selectively removing or / and preparatively preparing tumor necrosis factor and / or lipopolysaccharide from aqueous liquid, apparatus and apparatus unit for removing tumor necrosis factor and / or lipopolysaccharide from liquid in vitro And adsorption material

摘要

For the quantitative selective removal and/or preparative isolation of tumour necrosis factor (TNF) and/or lipopolysaccharides from aqueous liquids, in particular blood, plasma or serum, the aqueous liquid is passed over an adsorption material which consists of a porous support material with, covalently bonded thereto, functional groups of synthetic and/or semisynthetic and/or natural polyanion chains, in linear or branched form, and where appropriate the molecules which have been separated chromatographically in this way are eluted from the adsorption material with a sodium chloride solution. An apparatus according to the invention for the extracorporeal removal of tumour necrosis factor and/or lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from aqueous liquids, in particular blood, plasma or serum, consists of a cylindrical housing which is packed with an adsorption material which consists of a porous support material with, covalently bonded thereto, functional groups of synthetic and/or semisynthetic and/or natural polyanion chains, in linear or branched form, and is provided on its ends with lids which each have a central inflow and outflow connector respectively.
