2Description
The present invention relates to new lysine polymers which may be used as supports for the preparation of products of diagnosis and, in particular, for the preparation of penicilloyl-polylysines for the diagnosis of allergies to penicillins and other .beta.-lactam type antibiotics. It also relates to a process for preparing such lysine polymers and to the products of diagnosis obtained by using…
