APHERESIS OF A TARGET MOLECULE FROM CEREBROSPINAL FLUID

A system includes (i) a medium having a solid support to which an antibody directed to target molecule is bound, (ii) a reservoir for containing the medium, (iii) a first catheter, and (iv) a second catheter. The first catheter has a proximal end portion, an opening for removal of cerebrospinal flui...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A system includes (i) a medium having a solid support to which an antibody directed to target molecule is bound, (ii) a reservoir for containing the medium, (iii) a first catheter, and (iv) a second catheter. The first catheter has a proximal end portion, an opening for removal of cerebrospinal fluid from a subject, and a lumen extending from the proximal end portion to the opening. The first catheter is operably couplable to the reservoir such that fluid is capable of flowing from the lumen to the reservoir. The second catheter has a proximal end portion, a delivery region for returning cerebrospinal fluid to the subject, and a lumen extending from the proximal end portion to the delivery region. The second catheter is operably couplable to the reservoir such that fluid is capable of flowing from the reservoir to the lumen.
