  • Publication number: 20060177473
    Abstract: The medication for head lice includes glue and a de-licing insecticide such as d-Limonene or highly concentrated lemon juice. The glue is effective because application of the glue, in a soft or liquid state, to the hair and scalp results in the lice becoming entrapped in the glue. When the glue dries, the lice entrapped in it become fully immobilized. Immobilization of lice for a period of time will cause the lice to die. The medication is applied to the hair and scalp of a human containing head lice to effectively kill the head lice without having any known harmful effects on the human. Both the glue and de-licing insecticide are water soluble to facilitate removal of the medication from the hair and scalp. The treatment for head lice includes application of the glue and de-licing insecticide, without necessarily being in combination with the other, to the hair and scalp to kill the lice.

  • Patent number: 4649115
    Abstract: Successive layers of guinea pig epidermis display discrete antigenic markers that are recognized by a selected panel of five monoclonal antibodies produced by hybridomas resulting from immunization of mice with suspensions of dissociated viable guinea pig epidermal cells. Antigen to Gpsk-1 marks the basement membrane, which membrane is probably produced by basal cells. Antigen to Gpsk-2 is expressed by basal and suprabasal cells. Antigens to both Gpsk-3 and Gpsk-4 occur on the spinous and overlying layers but are distinguished by differences in their representation on certain non-epidermal cell types and on other epithelia. Antigen to Gpsk-5 is found on basement membrane and on spinous and overlying granular and horny cells. Antigens to Gpsk-2 through 5 are situated at the cell surface and may recognize integral plasma membrane molecules expressed in differentiative sequence. The five antibodies differ also in their antigenic marker distribution among epithelial as well as other selected tissue types.
