Abstract
The specific adsorbents have been sought in an attempt to utilize them for removal of autoantigens, autoantibodies and immune complexes in SLE.
The anion exchangers were broadly investigated for treatment in patients plasma in vitro.
The following results were obtained;
(1) The hydrophiric anion exchangers had large capacities of adsorption of DNA.
(2) The immobilized DNA binded large quantities of anti-DNA antibodies, anti-nuclear antibodies, futhermore, immune complexes.
(3) The anion exchangers, pretreated with heparin, adsorped only partial immune complexes.
