The cell culture assay indices (efflux, adhesion, and invasion) were compared using Dunnett's multiple comparisons test.
Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracies of these two rapid stool antigen tests by immunochromatographic assays (index tests) for the clinical practice.
These data indicate that when used in combination with single-cell functional assays, index sorting is a powerful tool for refining cell isolation strategies.
The screening methods employed were emulsification assay, emulsification index (E 24), lipase activity, haemolytic assay, oil spreading, and tilted glass slide.
The biosurfactant screening techniques employed were emulsification assay, emulsification index (E 24), lipase activity, haemolytic assay, oil spreading, and tilted glass slide.
Consecutive series of all eligible patients had a single venous blood sample drawn for lactate assay analysis (index test) and a concurrent Kampala Trauma Score (KTS) II value determination (reference test).
By the time patients presented for ATP-TCA directed therapy 72% were platinum resistant according to the assay (cisplatin Index SUM>350).
The MTT assay, an index of cell viability and cell growth, was used to determine the effects of various compounds on MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells.
The cytotoxic and genotoxic actions of this combination were studied using comet assay, mitotic index (MI), and the induction of micronucleus (MN).
Of patients evaluable for response, thirteen patients receiving this combination were resistant to cisplatin in the assay (cisplatin Index SUM > 350) and the ORR in this group was 62%.
