It is intended to provide a polymer which is scarcely eluted, has a high
biocompatibility and is useful in a filter for selectively eliminating
leucocytes. It is also intended to provide a filter for selectively
eliminating leucocytes, a filtration apparatus for selectively
eliminating leucocytes and a system for selectively eliminating
leucocytes, each having the above-described polymer. The above objects
can be achieved by providing a polymer which comprises from 8% by mol to
45% by mol of a unit originating in a polymerizable monomer having a
polyalkylene oxide chain, from 30% by mol to 90% by mol of a unit
originating in a polymerizable monomer having a hydrophobic group, and
from 2% by mol to 50% by mol of a unit originating in polymerizable
monomer having a hydroxyl group.
