Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
122 words
A process to produce by covalent binding conjugates of a substance containing a 2-amino-2-deoxy-glycopyranosyl unit the NH 2 -function of which in its most stable conformation is equatorially oriented, and a substrate containing a primary amino group, wherein said substance is selected from the group consisting of heparin, deacetylated dermatan sulfate, chitosan, and deacetylated hyaluronic acid, and wherein said substrate is selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, sepharose and antithrombin, comprising the following sequence of steps, degrading said substance by diazotation to form a substance fragment having a free terminal aldehyde group, reacting said fragment through its aldehyde group with the amino group of the substrate to form a Schiff's base, and reducing the base to a secondary amine.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
122 words
A process to produce by covalent binding conjugates of a substance containing a 2-amino-2-deoxy-glycopyranosyl unit the NH 2 -function of which in its most stable conformation is equatorially oriented, and a substrate containing a primary amino group, wherein said substance is selected from the group consisting of heparin, deacetylated dermatan sulfate, chitosan, and deacetylated hyaluronic acid, and wherein said substrate is selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, sepharose and antithrombin, comprising the following sequence of steps, degrading said substance by diazotation to form a substance fragment having a free terminal aldehyde group, reacting said fragment through its aldehyde group with the amino group of the substrate to form a Schiff's base, and reducing the base to a secondary amine.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
