Initiator polymers having an initiator group and a ligand group are provided. The initiator polymers are capable of specifically binding to a receptor on a surface. Using a macromer system, the initiator polymers are useful for the formation of a polymeric matrix on the surface of a material. In particular, initiator polymers are provided that have specificity to pancreatic .beta. cells and can be used to encapsulate cells for transplantation and the treatment of diabetes.

L'invention concerne des polymères d'initiateur comprenant un groupe d'initiateur et un groupe de ligand. Les polymères d'initiateur permettent de se lier de manière spécifique à un récepteur sur une surface. En utilisant un système macromère, les polymères d'initiateur sont utiles dans la formation d'une matrice polymères sur la surface d'un matériau. Plus particulièrement, ces polymères d'initiateur présentent une spécificité face aux cellules .szlig. pancréatiques et peuvent être utilisées de manière à encapsuler ces cellules en vue d'une transplantation et du traitement du diabète.
