    摘要: Assay for detecting the amount or presence of target ligand in a sample. The assay includes a ligand analogue conjugate having a linkage site and a binding site, a ligand receptor, and a sample. The assay includes the steps of providing at least one crosstalk inhibitor. This inhibitor, under assay conditions, competes with the linkage site of the ligand analogue conjugate for binding to the ligand receptor, and does not compete with the binding site of the ligand analogue conjugate for binding to the ligand receptor. In the invention, the assay is performed for the target ligand in the presence of a sufficient amount of the crosstalk inhibitor to reduce the amount of binding of the linkage site of the ligand analogue conjugate to the ligand receptor. The invention also features a method for identifying crosstalk inhibitors, and the crosstalk inhibitors themselves.

    摘要: A device for wide-field and high resolution imaging of an object surface includes first and second imaging modalities, a lens associated with the second imaging modality. The first imaging modality is high resolution with a first observation line. The second imaging modality is arranged in an image plane at a first angle with respect to an object plane and has a second observation line and a wider imaging field than the first imaging modality. The lens associated with the second imaging modality is arranged in a lens plane at a second angle with respect to the object plane, where the second angle being equal to about one-half of the first angle. The first and second imaging modalities are mutually arranged such that the first and second optical axes intersect at a point on the object plane.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for affecting an appearance of skin by harvesting small portions of tissue from a donor (first) site and applying them at a recipient (second) site. A plurality of micrografts can be formed from a piece of graft tissue and attached to a dressing material. The dressing material can then be expanded to increase a separation distance between the micrografts, and the dressing material having spaced-apart micrografts attached thereto can be applied to a prepared recipient site. An apparatus can be provided that expands the dressing material using a pressurized fluid. A further method can include providing a suspension of small portions of graft tissue in a solution. The solution can be injected into blisters formed at a recipient (second) site and the tissue portions allowed to attach and proliferate. A method and apparatus can also be provided for forming corresponding blisters at a donor site and at a recipient site. The raised (removed) portions of the blisters can be removed and attached to a dressing material, and the portions from the donor (first) site can be placed onto the exposed blister areas at the recipient site.
