Regarding the emulsification assays, in order to form an emulsion, BSs must significantly lower the oil-water interfacial tension.
Background: A number of international research groups have developed DNA quantitation assays in order to investigate the role of mitochondrial DNA depletion in anti-retroviral therapy-induced toxicities.
These new adsorbents were screened in monoclonal antibody binding assays in order to determine optimal buffer conditions for capture and elution under static and dynamic adsorption conditions.
We combined image analysis of sarcomere orientation with muscular thin film contractile force assays in order to calculate the peak sarcomere-generated stress as a function of tissue architecture.
This positron-emitting biomarker could be also used for tumour chemosensitivity assays in order to identify fludarabine-avid tumours.
Serial dilutions of cDNA were used to generate standard curves with all Taqman assays in order to calculate PCR efficiencies (all between 95 % and 105 %) and quantify expression levels.
In our present study we used a combination of in vitro cell-based (primary composed of human monocytes, neutrophils and macrophages) and cell-free (enzymatic, colorimetric) assays in order to demonstrate inhibitory actions of BNO 1095 on the pro-inflammatory and pain-enhancing leukotrienes, cytokines/chemokines, and ROS.
The SNP genotyping was performed after completion of the cell migration assays, in order to minimize subjective influence on the interpretation of the migration assay results.
Therefore, the in vitro restimulation might be needed in PBMC of unvaccinated individuals prior to performance of ELISPOT assays in order to increase the detection sensitivity.
We have used a range of assays in order to establish that CysC enhances autophagy in neuronal cells under toxic conditions as a protective mechanism.
We modified these assays in order to allow the measurement of the effect of different samples obtained from haematophagous insects over the deposition of the components C1q, C4b and C3b in the classical pathway or C3b in the alternative pathway.
