ABSTRACT:
A unique method and apparatus for therapeutically treating immunological disorders and disease states which are characterized by the present of immunologically abnormal leukocytes in the body of the afflicted subject is provided. The apparatus and methodology utilized a sealed diffusion chamber which may be surgically implanted in-vivo or may be extracorporeally joined to the circulatory system of the afflicted subject. In either mode of use, the diffusion chamber utilizes immunologically normal leukocytes of various types and concentration which are able to provide cell functions and cellular secretory products which therapeutically counterbalance the effects of the immunological abnormality within the afflicted subject.
