title: New benzoquinone derivatives of dextran as carriers for interferon.
abstract: A series of derivatives of benzoquinone-2-sulfonic acid (I-VI) containing constituents of the structure of Cibacron Blue (CB) was synthesized and bound to dextran T 2000 with ether binding (VII-XII). Two dextran polymers XI and XII showed in biological assays high affinity for interferon (IFN).
