Abstract
The invention relates to lipid bilayer coated beads and methods of using those beads in delivery systems, in immunoassays, in analytical assays and the like.
Claims15
A method of identifying a test agent that disrupts a lipid bilayer, which comprises contacting a test agent with a lipid bilayer-coated bead that has a detectable label encapsulated by the lipid bilayer, and observing whether a signal from the detectable label is altered by a quenching molecule present in solution surrounding the bead when the lipid bilayer coated bead is exposed to the test agent.
