Adsorbent for lymphocyte proliferation inhibitor and treating method

摘要

The invention relates to a porous material for body fluid treatment for promoting lymphocyte proliferation in lymphocyte culture which contains a high-molecular compound having an angle of contact with water within the range of 40 to 98°, and a porous material for body fluid treatment which comprises activated carbon; and also relates to a treatment device wherein the porous material is used; a method for proliferating lymphocytes; a method for producing mammalian lymphocytes; a method for producing a pharmaceutical composition; an additive body fluid to be added to a culture medium on the occasion of lymphocyte culture; a method for treating a disease against which a therapeutic effect is produced by returning extracorporeally activated mammalian lymphocytes into the body; and a method of manufacturing the porous materials for body fluid treatment for promoting the lymphocyte proliferation in lymphocyte culture.

主权项

1. A method for proliferating lymphocytes
which comprises contacting a body fluid with a porous material which contains a polymer having an angle of contact with water within the range of 40° to 98° thereby removing lymphocyte proliferation inhibitor, wherein said polymer does not have a compound selected from the group consisting of amines, alcohols, glycidyl ethers, carboxylic acids and derivatives thereof, acid halides, halides, halogenated silanes, thiols, aldehydes and antibodies immobilized thereon, and adding together the lymphocytes in the body fluid after contacting with said porous material and a lymphocyte culture medium to culture lymphocytes.
