Abstract:
A homogeneous polyoxime composition, in which polyoxime molecules present in said composition comprise a first organic baseplate molecule linked via a plurality of at least three oxime linkages to said plurality of second organic molecules, said oxime linkages being formed by reaction of an orthogonal reactive group on each said second organic molecule with a complementary orthogonal reactive group on said baseplate, wherein said orthogonal reactive group and said complementary orthogonal reactive group are selected from the group consisting of an aldehyde group, a keto group and an amino-oxy group, as appropriate for complementarity, wherein said second organic molecules are identical in structure, wherein said at least three complementary orthogonal reactive groups on said baseplate are identical groups and wherein said first organic baseplate molecule is other than a heterogeneous antibody glycoprotein preparation modified by chemical or enzymatic oxidation of sugar residues.
