A bioadherent composition includes a first mixture containing a plurality of reactive members of a specific binding pair, said reactive members being bound to a ligand capable of binding a receptor on biological tissue, and a second mixture containing a plurality of complementary reactive members of the specific binding pair, said complementary reactive members being bound to a ligand capable of binding a receptor on biological tissue, said reactive members capable of forming covalent bonds with said complementary reactive members via a reaction selected from Huisgen cycloaddition reactions, Diels-Alder reactions, and/or thiol-alkene reactions. A method for bonding biological tissue involves utilizing the bioadherent composition. |
