title: Selective removal of immunoglobulin E from rat blood by membrane-immobilized antibody.
abstract: We examined the suitability of an immunoaffinity membrane [rabbit IgG specific for rat immunoglobulin E (IgE) immobilized on a cellulose membrane] for removing IgE from rat blood passed through a simple extracorporeal circulatory system. To determine the concentration of IgE in the blood, we also developed a highly sensitive chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay for rat IgE. The IgE levels in the outlet blood from the immunoaffinity membrane module decreased to 30% of the initial concentration within 30 min.
