ABSTRACT:
Peptides which bind auto-antibodies being in a causally pathological relationship with dilatative cardiomyopathy are described. The peptides may be bound, for example, to a solid phase. Auto-antibodies can be removed by treating blood of patients suffering from DCM with the peptides according to the invention.
