TL;DR: Compared to commercial particles used as immunoadsorbents to remove autoantibodies from sera of patients suffering from an autoimmune disease, the IgG binding capacity of the S-layer fusion protein-coated microbeads was at least 20 times higher and should find application in the microsphere-based detoxification system.

TL;DR: While crystal linity changes upon hydrolysis are insignificant, the pore structure is strongly influenced by the choice of enzyme system, and Hemicellulase seems to promote the formation of smaller pores, while cellobiase forms larger pores.

TL;DR: In this paper, an arrangement for removing substances has a membrane filter and is used in blood purification processes and in chemical and biotechnological separation processes and thus causes locally different positive and negative transmembrane pressure differentials.

TL;DR: A new ET-adsorbent based on macroporous cellulosic beads with immobilized polyethylenimine (PEI) was tested for its ET-removal capacity in vitro and indicates that the PEI absorber is of high efficacy and possibly of interest for the treatment of endotoxemia.

TL;DR: It is found that the conditions used during immobilization of the antibody profoundly influenced the biocompatibility of the resulting adsorbents, especially with respect to activation of the complement system.
