Abstract

Thin films and liposomes composed of polydiacetylenes with biologically active head groups have potential applications in cell adhesion, therapeutics, and biological sensing due to the specific interactions between the functionalized head groups and, for example, virus particles. The synthesis and the applications of these assemblies are discussed.

23. The concentration of the glycolipid 3 (Table 2) represents the total amount used in the liposome preparation. No assumption was made regarding the amount of sialoside that may be inaccessible owing to incorporation into the inner half of the bilayer. In addition a four‐fold dilution that occurs during the assay was ignored. Therefore these concentrations represent upper limits.

27. In order to quantify the response of a film to a given amount of virus the visible spectrum of the film before exposure to virus was recorded as Bo (Eq. 1) which is defined as the intensity of absorption at 630 nm divided by the sum of the absorption intensities at 540 nm and 630 nm. After exposure to influenza Bv (Eq. 2) was found which represents the new ratio of absorption intensities after incubation with the virus. The colorimetric response (CR) of a film is defined as the percentage change in B upon exposure to virus (Eq. 3)
28. The quantity of influenza virus can be defined in hemagglutinating units (HAUs) where 1 HAU is defined as the highest dilution of stock virus that completely agglutinates a standard erythrocyte suspension. See Expert Committee on Influenza WHO Tech. Rep. Ser. No. 64 1953.
