Claim:
1. A method for blood treatment or purification, comprising separating blood cells from plasma in a first filter or a first centrifuge, transporting the separated plasma onwards in a plasma conduit and mixing the separated plasma with a suspension containing at least one component specifically binding a target substance that is to be reduced in the blood such that the mixture of the component and separated plasma is transported together toward a second filter or a second centrifuge, separating both the component and the component having the target substance bound thereto from the plasma in the second filter or the second centrifuge, wherein the plasma having a reduced content of target substance passes through pores of the second filter or a separating element of the second centrifuge, the separated component and/or the separated component having the target substance bound thereto the component comprises a non-soluble polymer matrix and at least one covalently bound ligand, the target substance is an antibody, a protein, a virus, bacteria, or a cell, and recirculating the plasma having a reduced content of the target substance to the blood cells, wherein purified blood is obtained.
