Estimating the term…
A method of delivering a benefit agent to a selected area of a fabric for exerting a predetermined activity, wherein the area is pre-treated with a multi-specific binding molecule which has a high binding affinity to said area through one specificity and is capable of binding to said benefit agent through another specificity, followed by contacting said pre-treated area with said benefit agent, to enhance said pre-determined activity to said area. Preferably, the binding molecule is an antibody or fragment thereof, or a fusion protein comprising a cellulose binding domain and a domain having a high binding affinity to another ligand which is directed to said benefit agent. The method is useful for stain removal, perfume delivery, and treating collars and cuffs for wear.
A method of delivering a benefit agent to a selected area of a fabric for exerting a pre-determined activity, which comprises pre-treating said area with a multi-specific binding molecule, said binding molecule having a high binding affinity to said area through one specificity and is capable of binding to said benefit agent through another specificity, followed by contacting said pre-treated area with said benefit agent to exert said pre-determined activity to said area wherein said binding molecule is an antibody, an antibody fragment, or a derivative thereof.
A method of delivering a benefit agent to a selected area of a fabric for exerting a pre-determined activity, which comprises pre-treating said area with a multi-specific binding molecule, said binding molecule having a high binding affinity to said area through one specificity and is capable of binding to said benefit agent through another specificity, followed by contacting said pre-treated area with said benefit agent to exert said pre-determined activity to said area wherein said benefit agent is selected from the group consisting of glucose oxidase, galactose oxidase alcohol oxidase, and chloroperoxidase.
A method of delivering a benefit agent to a selected area of a fabric for exerting a pre-determined activity, which comprises pre-treating said area with a multi-specific binding molecule, said binding molecule having a high binding affinity to said area through one specificity and is capable of binding to said benefit agent through another specificity, followed by contacting said pre-treated area with said benefit agent to exert said pre-determined activity to said area, wherein said binding molecule binds to chemical constituents which are present in tea, blackberry and red wine including non-pigmented components of stains.
