The present invention relates to novel methods and devices for removing detrimental entities from a bodily fluid by passing the fluid through an extracorporeal adsorption container. The device has a binding means that is confined within the container, and the binding means is specific for affixing the entity to be removed, which may be a pathogen, toxic substance, prion, aberrant cell, or endogenous substance present in undesirably high levels. By passing the bodily fluid through the container, at least a portion of the detrimental substance is removed. The treated fluid is then returned to the patient.
