Disclosed is a formulation comprising an antigen and an adjuvant for transcutancous immunization of a subject, wherein the antigen induces an immune response specific for the antigen following application of the formulation to the subject's unperforated skin which is treated to disrupt the stratum corneum.
摘要:
One group of polymers comprise repeat units of Structural Formula (I) and/or (II) where: R is -H or a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, acyl or aryl group; Rings A and B are substituted with at least one tert-butyl group, 1-ethenyl-2-carboxylic acid group or ester thereof, substituted or unsubstituted alkylenedioxy group, or substituted or unsubstituted n-alkoxycarbonyl group and optionally additional functional groups; Ring B is additionally substituted with at least one -H; n is equal to or greater than 2; and p is equal to or greater than 0. The polymer typically includes at least two substituted benzene repeat units that are directly connected by C-C or C-O-C bonds between benzene rings. Alternatively, each repeat unit of the polymer is an antioxidant. The invention also includes methods of making and using these and related polymers, particularly as antioxidants.

摘要:
A purification apparatus (1), kit and method for purifying DNA, RNA, proteins, antigens, antibodies and cells. The apparatus (1) has a wand (2) and a reservoir tube (6). The wand (2) is made of a cap (5), a sample collection assembly (4) and an elongated shaft (3) connecting the cap (5) to the sample collection assembly (4). The sample collection (4) assembly has a series of microstructures (13) on its surface, or microparticles enclosed within it for increasing the surface area of the sample collection assembly (4). The increased surface area permits maximum exposure to and binding of target molecules thereto. The reservoir tube (6) associated with the wand (2) has one end defining an opening and a second end that is closed and preferably cone or cylindrical shaped. The cap (5) of the wand securely and sealingly fastens to the open end of the reservoir tube (6) with the shaft (3) and the sample collection (4) assembly fitting easily inside the reservoir tube.
