Abstract

A method for treating human blood plasma which comprises passing plasma through an immunoadsorbent zone capable of binding both anti-A and anti-B blood group antibodies and removing them from the plasma. Plasma so treated may be transfused to any recipient regardless of the recipient's blood type, and it is found that such treated plasma retains substantially all other blood proteins essential for proper physiological activity.
