Site-specific covalent attachment of conglutinin to solid phase materials and related methods

摘要

A device comprising a biocompatible support and conglutinin which is covalently attached to the support. The covalent attachment of the conglutinin to the support can be by a hydrazone reaction. The device can be used to remove immune complexes from a fluid and can be employed in analytical and therapeutic methods. A method for producing a device in accordance with the invention is also set forth.
