Abstract: A kit for reduction of blood components in a blood-related medium (12) is disclosed, wherein it comprises a gel bead container (1) containing gel beads (2) and provided with an outlet tube (3), a drip chamber (4) provided with an inlet tube (5) and an outlet tube (6), a collection container (10) provided with an inlet tube (11), and a medium container (13) adapted to contain a blood-related medium (12) and provided with an outlet tube (15), wherein the outlet tube (3) of the gel bead container (1) is connectable with the inlet tube (5) of the drip chamber (4) via a sterile connecting device, wherein the outlet tube (6) of the drip chamber is connectable with the inlet tube (11) of the collection container (10) via a sterile connecting device, and wherein the outlet tube (15) of the medium container (13) is connectable to the inlet tube (5) of the drip chamber (4) via a sterile connecting device, as well as a method for reduction of blood components in a blood-related medium (12) by use of said kit.

Abstract: An adsorbent comprising at least two types of covalently bound antigens having the ability to bind at least one component present in a blood flow or blood plasma flow passing through said adsorbent is disclosed, as well as a column containing said adsorbent, a kit containing said column in a sealed plastic bag, a method for the production of said kit, a method for reduction or elimination of undesired blood group specific antibodies or autoimmune antibodies in connection with autoimmune diseases, a method for treatment of myasthenia gravis, and a method for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
