To assess the specificity of this pathogen detection system, we employed a two-step experimental strategy.
To assess the specificity of radioligand binding, thioperamide was injected intravenously at a dose of 10 mg/kg at 30 s before the injection of each radioligand.
To assess the specificity of 18F-FDG PET as a pharmacodynamic biomarker, changes in 18F-FDG uptake were assessed in background tissues following AZD8186 administration.
To assess the specificity of the tool we employed genome re-sequencing to screen for off-target sites in all single knock-out strains targeted by different gRNAs.
Melting curves were used to assess the specificity of the primers.
To further assess the specificity of JNK1 phosphorylation of SIRT1, we used recombinant mouse SIRT1 (mSIRT1).
To assess the specificity of motor interference on visual discrimination, we manipulated two types of motor preferences.
To further assess the specificity of NMB-1, we examined its actions on mechanotransducing ion channels in cochlear hair cells.
This would also allow us to assess the specificity of the results obtained in the present study.
Controls were performed with no extract, excess unlabelled consensus probe, and excess labeled mutant probe to assess the specificity of the assay.
To assess the specificity of these antibodies, we also tested them against the mouse serum proteins via Western blotting (Figure 1E, lane MB).
