The phrase "acute assays" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in scientific or medical contexts, particularly when referring to tests or evaluations that are designed to detect or measure a specific condition or response in a short time frame.
Example: "The researchers conducted acute assays to determine the immediate effects of the drug on the subjects."
Alternatives: "short-term tests" or "rapid assessments".
Using acute assays of primary PBMC cell cultures from 202 healthy children, we found that LPS stimulated secretion of four characteristic TLR4-driven pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, IL-10, IL-1β, TNFα and CCL2, was indistinguishable between subjects with the common homozygous haplotype (Asp/Asp+Thr/Thr) and those with the heterozygous haplotype (Asp/Gly+Thr/Ile) (Figure 1).
In P. promelas acute assays, only two samples were influenced with initial effects occurring between 4660 and 6290 mg/L.
Increased toxicity from C12AS to C14AS followed the trend observed from the acute assays (i.e., toxicity is a function of chain length or hydrophobicity).
To determine if there is a rhythm in PER2 protein in embryonic liver in-vivo we did an acute assay of luciferase activity in protein extracts made from embryonic liver samples collected every four hours for 24 hours from E18 embryos.
The relative potency of VEGF blockers in this acute assay may reflect differences in their association rate constants.
The uterotrophic response has been used as an acute assay to assess the estrogenicity of a compound using both physiological and cytoarchitectural endpoints.
Costa et al. [ 54] also reported that ranibizumab was moderately more effective at inhibiting endothelial cell proliferation than bevacizumab, while in an acute assay bevacizumab more effectively inhibited VEGF-stimulated VEGFR2 and MAPK phosphorylation in human microvascular endothelial cells.
As shown in Table 8, the biochemical results of the acute assay denoted isolated elevation of ALT in females and ALP in both sexes, which may be indicative of superficial injury of the hepatocyte [ 51].
A Drosophila transgenic model of AD, in which overexpression of human amyloid precursor protein (APP) in the fly brain induces the pathological sequelae associated with AD, provides the basis for both genetic tests of interacting proteins and acute pharmacological assays of selected compounds (a 'medium-throughput' assay; requiring 12 14 days to screen selected subsets of compounds).
PEGylated nanogels with different cross-linking densities (1, 2, and 5 mol.%) were prepared to evaluate their biocompatibilities by in vitro cytotoxicity assay, hemolysis assay, and in vivo acute toxicity assay.
To more fully assess the toxicity of water-soluble fullerene (nC60), acute toxicity assays were performed on several environmentally relevant species.
