  • Publication number: 20230381391
    Abstract: The invention concerns biocompatible polymer systems comprising at least one polymer sorbent with a plurality of pores, said polymer designed to adsorb pathogen-associated molecular pattern molecules and damage-associated molecular pattern molecules. Also disclosed herein are methods for reducing contamination in a biological substance, or treating contamination in a subject, by one or more pathogen-associated molecular pattern molecules and damage-associated molecular pattern molecules, by contacting the biological substance with an effective amount of sorbent capable of sorbing the toxin.

  • Publication number: 20220032271
    Abstract: The invention concerns polymeric media based on modified natural polysaccharides for removing one or both of Anti-A Antibodies and Anti-B Antibodies from human blood or plasma, the media comprising one or both of (i) a polymeric solid support with a blood group A Antigen ligand attached to the solid support at a ligand loading between 1-5 mg/mL of solid support, and wherein the media is stable under physiological pH conditions, and (ii) a polymeric solid support with a blood group B Antigen ligand attached to the solid support at a ligand loading between 1-5 mg/mL of solid support, and wherein the media is stable under physiological pH conditions.
