Description
A cell culture model that has been established in an earlier project at the Center for Biomedical Technology will be applied to develop and optimise adsorbent-based blood purification for the supportive therapy of sepsis. The project focuses on (1) assessment of the effect of selective or specific mediator modulation (e.g. adsorption of endotoxin, cytokines, complement factors) on endothelial cell activation; (2) development of a model for the anti-inflammatory phase of sepsis, since a therapy acting at a later stage of sepsis would broaden the window for the clinical use of adsorption therapy.
