摘要: The present invention concerns methods, compositions and apparatus for neutralizing bioagents, wherein bioagents comprise biowarfare agents, biohazardous biological agents and/or infectious agents. methods exposing the bioagent to an organic semiconductor a source of energy. Although any energy is contemplated, in some embodiments comprises visible light, ultraviolet, infrared, radiofrequency, microwave, laser radiation, pulsed corona discharge or electron beam radiation. Exemplary semiconductors include DAT DALM. In certain embodiments, may be attached one more binding moieties, such as antibody, antibody fragment, nucleic acid ligand. Preferably, moiety has affinity neutralized. Other concern comprising source. preferred are used anthrax spores.
