title = "A novel carbon device for the treatment of sepsis",
abstract = "The potential of carbon dics to remove the pre-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α from culture medium harvested from lipopolysaccharides (LPS) stimulated cells was investigated. Raw 264.7 cells were cultured in Dulbecco Modified Eagle' medium (DMEM) containing 10% v/v foetal calf serum (FCS). Cytokine containing media and control media were harvested at 2, 4, 6, 8, 24, and 28 hours, and centrifuged at 1500rpm for 5 minutes prior to analysis of the supplement for TNF-α concentration. The efficient removal of TNF-α by the discs suggest that a combined adsorption/filtration device produced from carbon may provide a new method of removing inflammatory mediators from the circulation of septic patients.",
