    摘要: Capture particles for harvesting analytes from solution and methods for using them are described. The capture particles are made up of a polymeric matrix having pore size that allows for the analytes to enter the capture particles. The pore size of the capture particles are changeable upon application of a stimulus to the particles, allowing the pore size of the particles to be changed so that analytes of interest remain sequestered inside the particles. The polymeric matrix of the capture particles are made of co-polymeric materials having a structural monomer and an affinity monomer, the affinity monomer having properties that attract the analyte to the capture particle. The capture particles may be used to isolate and identify analytes present in a mixture. They may also be used to protect analytes which are typically subject to degradation upon harvesting and to concentrate low an analyte in low abundance in a fluid.

    摘要: A cationic antimicrobial peptide (CAMP) conjugate is disclosed. The CAMP conjugate may be made by identifying a suitable carrier peptide; identifying a suitable antimicrobial agent; creating a conjugate by conjugating the peptide with the antimicrobial agent; and evaluating and refining the conjugate. The peptide may be short peptide based on the sequence of a CAMP, such as human β-defensin-3. The peptide can be directly connected to the antimicrobial agent or through a linker segment. The antimicrobial agent may be connected to the peptide or the linker segment through stable or cleavable bonding. The peptide may carry and facilitate the delivery of the conjugated antimicrobial agent to a microbe.
