摘要:
A method of making a bacteriochlorin is carried out by condensing a pair of compounds of Formula II to produce the bacteriochlorin, wherein R is an acetal or aldehyde group. The condensing may be carried out in an organic solvent, preferably in the presence of an acid. The bacteriochlorins are useful for a variety of purposes such as active agents in photodynamic therapy, luminescent compounds in flow cytometry, solar cells, light harvesting arrays, and molecular memory devices.
摘要:
A method of inactivating viruses, articles for inactivating viruses and methods of manufacture of such articles are disclosed. Singlet oxygen generating dyes are attached to a substrate. Upon exposure to light, singlet oxygen is generated to inactivate viruses present. In a preferred embodiment, more than one dye is used. If only one dye is used, acridine yellow G is particularly effective.
摘要:
Prion protein binding materials and methods for using the binding materials to detect or remove a prion protein from a sample, such as a biological fluid or an environmental sample. The binding materials are capable of binding to one or more forms of prion protein including cellular prion protein (PrPc), infectious prion protein (PrPsc), recombinant prion protein (PrPr), and proteinase resistant prion protein (PrPres). Prions from various species, including humans and hamsters, are bound by the binding materials.
