Abstract
A new synthetic functionalized antigen carrier is described. It consists of a core of seven branched lysine residues, of which each of the four N-terminal lysine residues contains two N-(S-acetylmercaptoacetyl)-glutamyl residues. After removal of the protecting S-acetyl groups affording eight thiol functions, the carrier can easily be conjugated to a properly functionalized antigen, e.g. an S-(Npys)-cysteinyl peptide, thus affording a high molecular weight conjugate with an unusually high antigen content.Keywords
