  • Patent number: 8741600
    Abstract: A method of accurately separating immunoglobulin monomers by subjecting an immunoglobulin solution containing at least immunoglobulin monomers and immunoglobulin aggregates to cross-flow filtration using an ultrafiltration membrane, an ultrafiltration membrane module, and a cross-flow filtration apparatus. The method can separate immunoglobulin monomers by subjecting an immunoglobulin solution containing at least immunoglobulin monomers and immunoglobulin aggregates and having an immunoglobulin concentration of 1 to 150 g/L to cross-flow filtration using an ultrafiltration membrane having a molecular weight cut-off of 100,000 or more and less than 500,000 so that immunoglobulin monomers passes through the ultrafiltration membrane with a permeability of 80% or more while achieving a fractionation performance in which the permeability ratio of immunoglobulin dimers to immunoglobulin monomers that pass through the ultrafiltration membrane is 0.20 or less.

  • Patent number: 8602221
    Abstract: [Problems] To provide a novel hydrophilized separation membrane for use in the treatment of a liquid, which comprises an aromatic ether polymer, is less likely to be degraded by sterilization with a high energy ray and has a controlled pore size and a high water permeability. [Means for Solving Problems] A porous separation membrane for use in the treatment of a liquid which is produced by a wet film formation process using an aromatic ether polymer and a hydrophilizing agent. The separation membrane can be used for medical purposes or in a pharmaceutical of food.

  • Publication number: 20080190843
    Abstract: It is intended to provide a polymer for coating a leukocyte removal filter material which is excellent in the capability of removing leukocytes. It is further intended to provide a filter whereby both of leukocytes and platelets can be highly efficiently removed from a blood product containing leukocytes and platelets. The above objects can be achieved by using a polymer for coating a leukocyte removal filter material which comprises a unit originating in a hydrophobic polymerizable monomer, a unit originating in a polymerizable monomer containing a basic nitrogen-containing part, and a unit originating in a polymerizable monomer containing a protonic neutral hydrophilic part.
