Magnetic protein conjugates, a process for the preparation thereof, and the use thereof

Abstract From the Canadian patent

The invention relates to magnetic protein conjugates of the formula I, (see fig.I), in which M represents a dispersible magnetically reacting material or particle which carries aminogroups P, represents a protein which carries one or more mercapto groups, and X represents an organic chemical structure which links the two ligands by chemical means to a, process for the preparation of protein conjugates of the formula I, and to the use of conjugates of this type for removing cells or soluble bioorganic molecules or components from aqueous salt solutions or body fluids and, to the use thereof within the framework of a diagnostic method or as a diagnostic aid.
