ADSORBENT FOR ENDOTOXIN, TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR-ALPHA OR INTERLEUKINS, METHOD FOR REMOVAL VIA ADSORPTION, AND ADSORBER

摘要

An adsorbent includes styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer having sulfonic acid groups for adsorbing endotoxin, tumor necrosis factor- alpha (TNF- alpha ), and/or interleukins. A method for adsorbing and removing endotoxin, TNF- alpha , and/or interleukins, includes contacting an adsorbent with a fluid containing endotoxin, TNF- alpha , and/or interleukin. In an adsorber for adsorbing endotoxin, TNF- alpha , and/or interleukins, the adsorbent is charged in a vessel having an inlet and an outlet for fluid. <IMAGE>
