Claims15
A compound of the formula:
- or its pharmacologically active salts;
- wherein Y is an organic spacing group;
- X is a terminal functional group capable of binding to a carrier containing an amino or thiol group through said amino or thiol group and;
- p is an integer from 0 to 1.
A composition comprising a carrier containing a polymer having either a reactive thiol or amino group conjugated with a compound of the formula:
- or its pharmacologically active salts;
- wherein Y is an organic spacing group;
- X is a terminal functional group involved in the binding to said carrier through said amino or thiol group and;
- p is an integer from 0 to 1.
An immunogen comprising an immunogenic carrier containing a polymer having either a reactive thiol or amino group conjugated with a compound of the formula:
- or its pharmacologically active salts;
- wherein Y is an organic spacing group;
