Abstract

Potentially hemocompatible alginate-chitiosan microparticles and microcapsules coated with a semipermeable membrane with incorporated glycoconjugates were synthesized. The membrane acts as a barrier, which keeps the incorporated glycoconjugate from going outside but permits antibodies to penetrate inside and specifically bind to antigens, high-molecular polysaccharide conjugates. The carriers obtained are highly competitive in sorption capacity with Sepharose modified by the same oligosaccharides.
