摘要:
Non-invasive method of monitoring by radioactivity bioscanning the distribution of a biological entity in a subject in vivo by administering to the subject a radioiodinated form of the biological entity. The radioiodinated form is prepared by contacting an aqueous suspension of the biological entity with a radioiodinated construct of the structure F-S-L where F comprises a radioiodinated tyrosine moiety, S is a spacer covalently linking F to L, and L is a lipid.
摘要:
The invention relates to methods for effecting qualitative and quantitative changes in the functional moieties expressed at the surface of cells and multi-cellular structures, and functional lipid constructs for use in such methods. In particular, the invention relates to functional lipid constructs and their use in diagnostic and therapeutic applications, including serodiagnosis, where the functional moiety is a carbohydrate, peptide, chemically reactive group, conjugator or fluorophore.

摘要:
Methods of manufacturing cards, strips and multiwell plates for use in diagnostic assays are described. The methods employ the use of synthetic constructs of the generic structure F-S-L (where F is an antigen for a reactive antibody, S is a spacer covalently linking F to L, and L is a lipid) as “ink” in inkjet printers. The cards, strips and multiwell plates provide a number of advantages including efficiency of manufacture and improved accuracy in determining and recording assay results.
摘要:
Biocompatible methods of functionalising inert surfaces for use in biological applications are described. The methods employ the use of synthetic constructs of the generic structure F-S-L (where F is a functional moiety, S is a spacer selected to provide a construct that is dispersible in water, and L is a diacyl- or dialkyl-glycerophospholipid). An object of the invention is to localise or immobilise functional moieties to the inert surface of a substrate wherein the surface is comprised of glass, silver, polyamide, polycarbonate, polypropylene, polyethersulfone, polytetrafluoroethylene or polyvinylidene fluoride, and the substrate is comprised of a fibre, membrane, microsphere or nanosphere.
