摘要:
Compositions for cryopreservation of phosphoglyceride-containing biological and synthetic membranes are provided in which a lipophilic anchor molecule is modified by the attachment of a preferably carbohydrate moiety placed at a predetermined, variable distance from the hydrophobic portion of the molecule by means of a hydrophilic linker unit. A method for the use of the compositions is also provided.

摘要:
The ability of phosphoglyceride-containing membranes to withstand the disruptive effects of freezing, thawing, or freeze-drying is enhanced when treated with (a) a compound of the formula R-X-R.sub.1, wherein R is a lipid or lipophilic anchor, X is a hydrophilic linker group, and R.sub.1 is a polyalcohol or carbohydrate group, and (b) ascorbic acid.
摘要:
Viral and bacterial contaminants present in biological solutions are inactivated by mixing one of a novel class of photosensitizer with said solution and irradiating the mixture.
摘要:
A process is provided for freezing, including freeze-drying of cells, cell-membranes or cell-like materials using a cryoprotectant medium which stabilizes the cells or membranes for freezing or freeze-drying and allows for freezing or freeze-drying to be performed at -60.degree. C. or higher.

摘要:
Viral, bacterial and parasitic contaminants in blood and cell culture containing compositions are inactivated by adding a photosensitizer and a blocking agent to the composition and irradiating the resulting mixture with electromagnetic radiation. Blocking agents reduce photolysis of the photosensitizer by mechanisms not involving the quenching of reactive oxygen species. The blocking agents reduce photolysis which occurs by ring opening. Preferred photosensitizers are quinoline or quinolone.
摘要:
A method is provided for qualitatively detecting in vitro the presence or absence of selected circulating antibody types using a diagnostic kit comprising reconstituted, after lyophilization or evaporative drying, red blood cell samples or other cell or cell-like material which have antigens which are recognized and bound by the selected antibody-type to be screened. Diagnostic kits containing the lyophilized blood samples according to the present invention have improved shelf life, and may comprise lyophilized samples packaged in a variety of forms convenient for manual single-test uses or automated multiple-test uses.
