The purpose of this study was to clarify the basic adsorption selectivity characteristics of dextran sulfate (DS) columns (Selesorb, Kaneka Corporation, Osaka, Japan). Recovery rates of blood chemical components, hormones, coagulation factors, and antinuclear antibodies (anti-SS-A, SS-B, Sm, Scl-70, and RNP antibody) in vitro were assessed by mixing normal volunteers' or patients' sera with DS bound cellulose beads. For tested blood chemical components other than triglyceride and total cholesterol, the recovery rate was not changed significantly by incubation. No significant changes in hormone levels resulted from incubation. Among coagulation factors, the activities of antithrombin III, plasminogen, and factors V, VIII, IX, XI, and XII were significantly reduced by incubation. Among antinuclear antibodies tested, anti-SS-A and anti-RNP were absorbed to some extent, but not anti-SS-B, Sm, or Scl-70 antibodies. Taking into account these characteristics, apheresis therapy using a DS column should be performed.
