    摘要: A method for utilizing a filtration device for removing interferants from a sample containing cells in an automated apparatus is disclosed. The filtration device includes a microporous hollow fiber membrane having a plurality of pores sized to retain cells while allowing smaller diameter interferants to pass through the membrane. The apparatus also includes a means for of moving the sample from a sample container to and from the filtration device. The disclosed method utilizes a vacuum source to aspirate the sample into a lumen of the hollow fiber membrane so that the sample is retained in the lumen space until expelled into an analysis container or transported to an analyzer.

    摘要: Ligand-aminodextran-(phycobiliprotein or tandem dye) conjugates useful for detection of a desired target biological material by providing an enhanced fluorescent signal are described. Also described is a method for a single-measurement quantification of multiple populations of cells based upon the labeling of different pairs of cell populations, each pair containing mutually exclusive cell receptors which are expressed at substantially similar receptor densities with labeled ligands for each receptor. One cell population is labeled with a ligand capable of binding to a first cell surface receptor which ligand is directly conjugated to a fluorescent phycobiliprotein or tandem dye; and a second cell population is labeled with a ligand capable of binding to a second cell surface receptor, which ligand is cross-linked to an aminodextran to a fluorescent phycobiliprotein or tandem dye.

    摘要: This invention relates generally to using fluorescent markers (labelled antibodies) and flow cytometry to enumerate the average number of receptors (antigen) on formed bodies (cells) in whole blood, and to evaluate the specific binding constant of the marker for the particular receptors. Mean channel fluorescence intensities of equilibrated marker-cell suspension mixtures, total concentrations of marker, and targeted cell counts obtained by established procedures are used to complete the analyses. The invention further describes a competitive binding assay between marker and unlabelled antibody for receptors shed from the surface of formed bodies into solution and receptors on the formed bodies to analyze for receptors in solution. Moreover, competitive binding assays between marker and unlabelled antibody for receptors on formed bodies in whole blood are described for determination of relative, specific, and average binding constants of unlabelled/labelled antibody for targeted receptors.

    摘要: Water insoluble polymers are treated to place on their exposed surfaces the pendant alkyl imidocarbonyl (amide) groups to impart a high degree of hydrophilicity to that surface. Nitrile-containing polymers or copolymers in the form of insoluble films, filters or membranes are treated to convert a substantial fraction of the surface nitrile groups into the corresponding amide by the use of hydrogen peroxide or concentrated acids. The surface is rendered hydrophilic and resistant to fouling to the extent that even proteins are not denatured thereupon. The surface may also be converted to substituted amides by subsequent reactions to impart to it other functionalities or to serve as the basis for coupling reactions. Other polymers capable of surface treatment to produce pendant amidocarbonyl groups include ones containing pendant esters which on cleavage of the oxygen-carbon bond give pendant alcohol groups. These are converted by cyanoethylation to form the pendant nitrile groups which can be converted to the amide. Other polymers which on hydrolysis give pendant carboxylic acids can be treated with ammonia to also produce pendant amide groups.
