Abstract
Histidine was immobilized onto PEVA membrane to obtain an affinity support for human IgG removal from serum with a view to clinical apheresis for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. These membranes were able to remove in vi tro several autoantibodies from the serum of SLE patients. (C) 2001 Publish ed by Elsevier Science B.V.
