Diffusion of macromolecules in model oral biofilms.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The diffusive penetration of fluorescently tagged macromolecular solutes into model oral biofilms was visualized by time-lapse microscopy. All of the solutes tested, including dextrans, proteases, green fluorescent protein, and immunoglobulin G, accessed the interior of cell clusters 100 to 200 microm in diameter within 3 min or less.

متن کاملEFFECT OF MOLECULAR WEIGHT OF PENETRANTS ON IONTOPHORETIC TRANSDERMAL DELIVERY In Vitro
Transdermal delivery is preferable for some drugs to oral administration or intravenous injection. Macromolecules such as peptide drugs, however, little penetrate through the skin. Iontophoresis is an effective transdermal method for macromolecules. In this study the effect of duration of applying electric field and degree of current density has been investigated under in vitro conditions. The ...
متن کاملEvaluating the In-vitro Antibacterial Effect of Iranian Propolis on Oral Microorganisms
Propolis has traditionally been used in curing infections and healing wounds and burns. Current researches have shown that propolis has antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral actions however, the pharmacological activity of propolis is highly variable depending on its geographic origin. There have been few studies on the effects of Iranian propolis on the oral microorganisms. In this in-vitro ...
