Plasmacytapheresis

Plasmacytopheresis is one of the blood purification methods that is used in medicine to remove various components from the blood, such as antibodies, proteins and other substances that may cause allergic reactions or other health problems.

Plasmacytopheresis is carried out using special equipment that allows you to separate blood plasma from other components such as red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. The plasma is then processed and cleared of unnecessary substances using special filters and other methods.

After plasmacytopheresis, the blood becomes cleaner and healthier, which can help in the treatment of various diseases such as allergies, autoimmune diseases and others. However, before performing plasmacytopheresis, it is necessary to consult with a doctor and make sure that the procedure is safe for a particular patient.

A plasma cell is an immunoglobulin producer, a species-specific cell of the lymphoid series. In its cytological nature and morphofunctional characteristics, it is similar to other lymphocytes. Cells of plasmaticoid lines do not have a nucleus and are practically lysed. However, plasma cells have the inherent ability to proliferate (which explains the rapid restoration of immunity). Therefore, in some cases, plasma cells are able to replace thymus-dependent lymphocytes. Functions: carries out the synthesis of antibodies. Upon contact with a virus or microbial cells, plasmacyte produces virus-neutralizing or bacteriolytic antibodies, which are fixed on the cells, coming into contact with them, and thus prevent the proliferation of microorganisms. Life cycle: The production of each type of immunoglobulin requires a certain period of time. Maximum IgM synthesis is observed at the end of embryonic development and immediately after birth, when thymus-dependent populations of lymphocytes (T cells) still provide the maximum humoral response. High synthesis of this type of immune protein is also characteristic of mature people with good immune system function. Higher IgM levels are associated with better correction, but they also indicate the possible presence of infectious diseases or tumors that can have a negative impact on immunity. IgG levels reach their peak between 3 and 4 years of age until approximately retirement age. Probably during this period
