Polymers incorporating peptides

摘要

The present invention provides polymers incorporating peptides. The polymers comprise polymarised units of (1) CH2=CR4-CO-X-R1 and (2) CH2=CR3-CO-R2 and optionally one or more other monomers, in which R1 is a peptide. Each R1 may be the same, or is preferably different. In another embodiment the present invention provides polymers formed from CH2=CR4-CO-X-R1 and optionally one or more other monomers, in which X is a spacer having a length equivalent to 1 to 30 single C-C bonds and R1 is a peptide, each R1 being the same or different. The invention further relates to methods producing the polymers and methods of inducing an immune response using the polmers.
