Title: Micro-capsules
Inventor: EKMAN BO MAGNUS
IPC: A61K8/34
Filed: 1986-09-24
Abstract: The invention relates to a completely novel type of micro-capsules, viz. such capsules where an encapsulated hydrophobic or lipophilic substance is surrounded by polar solid crystals of polar lipids which expose their hydrophilic face outwards and their hydrophobic face turned inwards towards the hydrophobic or lipophilic substance. These micro-capsules can be utilized to encapsulate for instance tacky substances or substances to be protected against oxidation or influence from light. Moreover, an especially interesting use according to the invention is the use of said micro-capsules in an ointment base, where the active ingredient is well protected within said capsules up to the use but which at the application on the skin directly comes into contact with the skin surface as a consequence of the crystalline structure of the shell. Furthermore, the invention relates to a special micro-capsule composition in the form of a dispersion of said micro-capsules in water or a polar liquid, where the crystals constitute 5-50 percent by weight and water or the polar liquid 50-95 percent by weight. Moreover, the invention relates to a process for the preparation of said micro-capsules, wherein a mixture of said polar lipid with water or polar liquid is formed, the mixture is heated above the transition temperature of the lipid and the mixture is then cooled to the desired temperature so as to obtain crystallization, the hydrophobic or lipophilic substance being added before or during the liposomic phase. Finally, the invention relates to a crystal dispersion of the polar lipid in a polar liquid, such as glycerol, ethylene- or propylene glycol.

Title: Assay of micro-organisms in cell cultures
Inventor: BRADBURY DAWN ANN
IPC: C12Q1/04
Filed: 2000-11-08
Granted: 2001-12-12
Abstract: Micro-organisms which over-produce ATPase, especially mycoplasmas in a sample of a cell culture, are detected by making use of the ATPase activity to convert cellular or externally added ATP to ADP. The decrease in ATP externally added or the increase or absolute level of ADP produced from cellular ATP can then be detected or measured. For example, if a reagent such as phosphenol pyruvate/pyruvate kinase is added to convert that ADP back to ATP, the resulting high level of ATP can be detected bioluminescently using the reaction: Luciferin+luciferase enzyme+ATP->hv+products.
