A METHOD FOR DETECTING CHITIN-CONTAINING ORGANISMS |
摘要 |
The present invention provides a method for detecting chitin-containing organisms on an area of a person or animal by contacting the particular area with a dye that is capable of binding or conjugating to chitin and emitting fluorescence upon exposure to light. If a chitin-containing organism is present in the treated area, the chitin of the organism will bind or conjugate the dye and, upon exposure to light, the chitin-containing organisms may be visualized and removed. Also provided by the present invention are solutions and suspensions that contain a dye capable of binding or conjugating to a chitin-containing organism and emitting fluorescence upon exposure to light. The solutions and suspensions provided herein may be in the form of a shampoo, cream, lotion or detergent for the detection of chitin-containing organisms present in body hair, on the skin, clothing or the fur of animals. The solutions and suspensions may also be in a form suitable for spraying on clothes, as well as on the hair, skin and fur. Further provided by the present invention are kits comprising a solution or suspension that contains a dye capable of binding or conjugating to a chitin-containing organism and a source of light that emits a wavelength capable of exciting fluorescence from the chitin-bound or chitin-conjugated dye.
