    Abstract: 2129843 9316382 PCTABS00025 The invention relates to a kit for the measurement of anion, cation or zwitterion availability in a medium or for the measurement of free inorganic ions in disrupted cells from plant or animal tissue. The kit comprises ion-exchange material having a measurable ion uptake potential for immobilizing available ions from the medium on the material following contact on the material with the medium or suspension. It also comprises means to remove particulate solids from the material after having contacted the medium with the material. Preferably, the ion-exchange material is cation and/or anion-exchange material in the form of rigid or flexible films, sheets, membranes or the like. The invention also relates to a method for the on-site in situ measurement of anion and/or cation availability in a solid medium and to a method for measuring free organic ions in cells from plant or animal tissue. It also relates to ion-exchange material for immobilizing available ions in soil, sediment or water media and to a cation and/or anion-exchange membrane buried underneath the surface of a soil sample or site, the membrane being in ion-exchange relationship with available ions in the soil. The present invention represents an improvement over the prior art in that it provides means for quickly determining ion availability in a particular media without the necessity of collecting media samples for laboratory testing.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to chimeric adenovirus capsid proteins comprising a part of or all of an adenovirus capsid protein and a binding partner of a cell-surface binding site on a cell present in gut associated lymphoid tissues (GALT) of a mammal, wherein the chimeric adenovirus capsid protein is capable of binding the cell present in gut associated lymphoid tissues (GALT). In some examples, the adenovirus capsid protein is located on the surface of the adenovirus capsid. The present invention provides adenovirus capsids comprising a chimeric capsid protein. The present invention also provides complexes comprising a chimeric adenovirus capsid protein bound to a cell in GALT. The present invention also provides encapsidation systems and vectors, in particular adenovirus vectors, capable of expressing a chimeric adenovirus capsid protein encompassed within the invention. The present invention also provides viral particles, host cells and compositions comprising such vectors, in particular for use in vaccines, methods of eliciting an immune response and methods for targeted delivery of heterologous proteins, such as antigens, to target cells.
