Abstract
This invention deals with genetically engineered immunoglobulins with affinity and specificity for (human) glycated albumin. The invention is directed to the DNA which encodes the immunoglobulins. The DNA sequence can be manipulated to produce chimeras and fragments such as Fab, F(ab').sub.2 or ScFv. The immunoglobulins can be produced by recombinant DNA methods and readily purified. The invention also provides a novel and improved method for treating the complications of diabetes.
