  • Patent number: 7288415
    Abstract: The present invention provides imprint compositions useful for capturing, isolating, detecting and/or quantifying macromolecules in a sample, methods of making and using the same. Generally, the imprint compositions comprise a matrix material defining an imprint of a template molecule, and the template molecule typically corresponds to a portion of a macromolecule of interest.

  • Patent number: 7105289
    Abstract: The present invention provides imprint bead compositions useful for capturing, isolating, detecting, analyzing and/or quantifying molecules in a sample. The imprint bead compositions comprise a matrix material having imprint cavities of a template molecule or molecules imprinted thereon wherein a substantial number of the imprint cavities are located at or near the surface of the matrix material.

  • Publication number: 20060030027
    Abstract: The invention provides methods and devices for the capture and removal of target biomolecules from a patient's body fluid, particularly blood or a blood component, using a partial imprint material. The partial imprint material is composed of a matrix composition having partial imprint cavities that correspond to a segment of a target biomolecule but which are capable of removing the entire target biomolecule from the body fluid. The method can be implemented by removing a volume of a patient's body fluid, e.g., blood, bringing the body fluid or a component thereof into contact with the partial imprint material under conditions effective to capture the target biomolecule, and returning the body fluid to the patient. A modified dialysis or apheresis device can be used in which the body fluid is removed, continuously passed through a circuit containing the partial imprint material, and re-introduced into the patient's body following treatment.

  • Patent number: 6458599
    Abstract: A method for making an imprint composition capable of capturing a macromolecule of interest, comprising the steps of (a) solidifying a fluidic matrix material capable of retaining shaped cavities when in a solid or semi-solid form in the presence of a template molecule that corresponds to a portion of the macromolecule, thereby yielding a solid or semi-solid matrix material having template molecules entrapped therein; and (b) removing the template molecules from the solid or semi-solid matrix material, yielding an imprint composition capable of capturing the macromolecule.
