In-vitro study of the properties of components for the synthesis of sorbent for low-density lipoprotein apheresis

Abstract

The research was carried out based on the Stavropol State Medical University. This work aimed to study the fundamental possibility of creating an immunosorbent for LDL apheresis based on non-porous highly dispersed silicon dioxide and monospecific polyclonal antibodies. In the course of the study, a matrix was selected for the synthesis of an immunosorbent based on aerosil modified with dextran. Affinity-purified rabbit polyclonal antibodies to human apolipoprotein B (ApoB) were immobilized onto the matrix. The obtained sample of the immunosorbent under in-vitro conditions showed good sorption properties to LDL, which makes it promising for further work on the creation of a sorbent for LDL-apheresis. It is concluded that the fundamental possibility of creating an immunosorbent based on non-porous highly dispersed silicon dioxide and monospecific polyclonal antibodies has been shown, which makes it possible to effectively bind and remove LDL from the blood plasma
