Abstract

Water-soluble chelating polymers (CP) based on polylysine and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) have been prepared. The effect of the number of DTPA-groups in the polymer chain on the process of CP carbodiimide-mediated coupling to proteins has been studied. CP obtained were conjugated with proteins via carbodiimide andN-hydroxysulfosuccinimide (HSSI). The optimal conditions of CP activation were determined using model low-molecular-weight amine. It was shown that the addition of HSSI to an activation mixture increases the coupling efficiency of CP with immunoglobulins by 3‐4-fold compared with carbodiimide alone. Possible mechanisms of this phenomenon are discussed.
