ABSTRACT METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REMOVING IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE COMPONENTS FROM THE BLOOD OF MAMMALS The invention relates to a method and system for extracorporeally treating the blood of a patient having diseased tissue or a condition, such as can- cer, which results from or depends upon a dysfunction of the patient's immune system. In accordance with the invention, blood is withdrawn from the patient, a low molecular weight fraction of the blood containing immunosuppressive components which retard or prevent immune system responses is selectively separated from the withdrawn blood, preferably by means of an ultra- filter, and treated blood is returned to the patient to initiate an immune response.
