Antigens for Use in Loa Loa Microfilariae Quantitative Immunoassays
Loa loa microfilarial-specific peptide sequences that could be used as a research material as well as for development of immunoassays for detection of Loa loa microfilaremia.
Devices for Improved Tissue Cryopreservation and Recovery
Problem: Cryopreservation is a process where living biological materials like cells, tissues, and cell therapies (which are susceptible to damage caused by unregulated chemical kinetics) are preserved by cooling to very low temperatures in the presence of specific cryopreservation media that protects the biological material from damage. In order to be used, the biological material ideally should be thawed in a controlled manner that minimizes damage and desirably brings the material back to a viable state.
