Fig. 2.
MERS-CoV decrease in infectivity vs. time during LAP. The lower graph denotes the mean of 3 MERS-CoV pseudovirus experiments in complete medium. The upper graph shows a MERS-CoV pseudovirus serum experiment. Measurements were done by a flow cytometric infectivity assay. Controls (n = 4) were done with LAP devices without GNA. LAP, lectin affinity plasmapheresis; MERS-CoV, middle east respiratory syndrome coronavirus; GNA, galanthus nivalis agglutinin
