New hydrogel based on polyethylene glycol cross-linked with bovine serum albumin

  • Published:
Biotechnology Techniques

Summary

A new and rapid method for preparing a protaneous-polymeric hydrogel is described. The gel matrix is obtained by covalent cross-linking between preactivated polyethylene glycol of 3350 molecular mass and bovine serum albumin in aqueous solution at basic pH. The polyethylene glycol-albumin hydrogel showed high protein retention and a very good swelling capacity.
