Abstract: The present invention provides substance which can specifically interact with sugar chains. Further, the present invention provides a method for separating, concentrating, or purifying sugar chains or a sugar chain-containing substance in a sample, comprising the steps of: a) contacting a sugar chain-trapping carrier comprising a substance which can specifically interact with sugar chains with the sample in a fluid phase under conditions that the sugar chain-trapping carrier can react with the sugar chains or sugar chain-containing substance; b) isolating a composite of the sugar chain-trapping carrier and the sugar chains or sugar chain-containing substance from the fluid phase; and c) exposing the composite to the conditions that the interaction between the sugar chain-trapping carrier and the sugar chains or sugar chain-containing substance is at least partially eliminated.

Abstract: The present invention provides a poly-amino acidic oligonucleotide-carrier comprising a poly-lysine:serine random copolymer.This carrier is bonded with oligonucleotide without causing precipitation, and smoothly releases the bonded oligonucleotide within cells. It is therefore useful as an in vivo transport carrier of an oligonucleotide drug against various genetic diseases and viral diseases such as AIDS. It also makes a great contribution to creation of various useful animals and plants by genetic engineering technique, including virus-resistant plants.

Abstract: The present invention provides a non-crosslinked acrylic polymer and a non-crosslinked anionic exchange resin consisting of polyacryloyloxyethyl-N,N-dimethylbenzyl ammonium salt.
