Result of permeability assay of membranes with three different pore sizes. The permeability assay in this study revealed that neither albumin nor IgG could pass through a membrane with 100-kilodalton pores, whereas both albumin and IgG permeated membranes with 500-kilodalton pores and 0.2-μm pores. None of the three membranes (100-kilodalton, 500-kilodalton, or 0.2-μm pores) could separate albumin and IgG. *p < 0.01 membranes with 500-kilodalton pores vs 100-kilodalton pores. †p < 0.01 membranes with 0.2-μm pores vs 100-kilodalton pores. The data shown are means ± SDs from three independent experiments.
