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:
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.
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.
