The present invention relates to a peptide excellently capable of binding
to a protein capable of binding to insulin (IBP), an adsorbent comprising
the aforementioned peptide immobilized on a carrier, an adsorber
comprising the aforementioned adsorbent, and a method of adsorbing IBPs
by using the aforementioned adsorbent or adsorber.
The peptide, adsorbent, adsorber and method provided by the present
invention can selectively adsorb and remove IBPs efficiently, and
therefore be used, for example, in the treatment of diseases, typically
diabetes, in which such IBP acts as an aggravating factor.
