摘要:
Formation of micro-fluidic systems is normally achieved using a multi-wafer fabrication procedure. The present invention teaches how a complete micro-fluidic system can be implemented on a single chip. The invention uses only dry etch processes to form micro-chambers. In particular, it makes use of deep reactive ion etching whereby multiple trenches of differing depths may be formed simultaneously. Buried micro-chambers are formed by isotropically increasing trench widths using an etchant that does not attack the mask so the trenches grow wider beneath the surface until they merge. Deposition of a dielectric layer over the trenches allows some trenches to be sealed and some to be left open. Micro-pumps are formed by including in the micro-chamber roof a layer that is used to change chamber volume either through electrostatically induced motion or through thermal mismatch as a result of its being heated.

The invention describes a thermal cycler which permits simultaneous treatment of multiple individual samples in independent thermal protocols, so as to implement large numbers of DNA experiments simultaneously in a short time. The chamber is thermally isolated from its surroundings, heat flow in and out of the unit being limited to one or two specific heat transfer areas. All heating elements are located within these transfer areas and at least one temperature sensor per heating element is positioned close by. Fluid bearing channels that facilitate sending fluid into, and removing fluid from, the chamber are provided. The chambers may be manufactured as integrated arrays to form units in which each cycler chamber has independent temperature and fluid flow control. Two embodiments of the invention are described together with a process for manufacturing them.

Methods of reducing pre-existing humoral immunity to a viral immunogenic therapeutic agent such as adenovirus, using immunoapheresis are disclosed. Antibodies specific for the viral immunogenic therapeutic agent are selectively removed from the blood of an individual prior to administration of the viral immunogenic therapeutic agent by reaction extracorporeally with an immunosorbent which specifically binds the antibody. After the antibody is selectively removed from the blood, the blood is reinfused into the patient and the viral immunogenic therapeutic agent is administered. The invention also provides kits and compositions for selective removal of anti-viral antibody.

A method and preparations for the treatment of vaginal yeast and other yeast infections is provided for the treatment of infections caused by Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans. The method and preparations of the invention can also be used for other yeast and fungal infections including systemic, mucosal and cutaneous caused by Candida and Cryptococcus. The vaginal antiyeast and antifungal preparations include, in addition to suppositories and mouth washes, troches, lotions, creams, tablets and capsules containing gentian preparations as an active ingredient obtained from the plant Radix gentianae Longdancao. For systemic fungal infections gentian preparations from the plant Radix gentianae Longdancao are taken orally in the form of lozenges, tablets, capsules or in solution form for gargling or swallowing.
