  • Alcohol containing non-antimicrobial cleansing composition
    Patent number: 11998626
    Abstract: A non-antimicrobial cleansing composition is disclosed comprising from about 10.0 wt. % to less than about 40 wt. % of one or more C1-C8 alcohols; about 0.5 wt. % to about 10.0 wt. % of at least one primary surfactant; 0 wt. % to about 10.0 wt. % of at least one secondary surfactant, with the primary and secondary surfactants having an HLB value greater than 8; a pH adjusting agent; and water. The composition does not achieve a microbial kill level greater than 2.0 log.

  • SYNTHESIS AND CONJUGATION OF IRON OXIDE NANOPARTICLES TO ANTIBODIES FOR TARGETING SPECIFIC CELLS USING FLUORESCENCE AND MR IMAGING TECHNIQUES
    Publication number: 20100209352
    Abstract: The invention provides for methods for producing water-soluble iron oxide nanoparticles comprising encapsulating the nanoparticles in phospholipids micelles. Also provided are methods for conjugating the inventive nanoparticles via functionalized phospholipids to a target molecule, such as an antibody. The invention further provides methods for using the nanoparticle-antibody conjugate of the invention as a contrast agent to image specific cells or proteins in a subject using fluorescent and magnetic imaging techniques.
