Abstract: Biocompatible polymers containing immobilized biologicals which retain a high specificity for binding pathological effectors or specific groups of pathological effectors are disclosed.
Abstract: A therapeutic device for removing pathological effectors brom body fluids of a patient is disclosed. Said device includes a chamber for receiving the body fluids and positioned within the chamber is a biospecific polymer. Said biospecific polymer interacts with and binds specific pathological effectors carried by the body fluid that is passed through the chamber.
