The evaluation of agonist potency depends largely on the model used and wide varying potencies are reported for the same agonist.
These measurements are furthermore accompanied with tests focused on the evaluation of antibacterial potency of produced nanocomposites.
Recently, another concept of biosensing has been receiving attention: biosensing for the evaluation of molecular potency.
Because alveolar periosteum strongly contributes to regeneration of periodontal skeletal tissue [11], we used human alveolar bone-derived periosteal cells for evaluation of the potency and efficacy of PRF preparations.
This analytical method can be used for diverse applications, e.g. plant phenotype determination, evaluation of psychoactive potency and control of material quality.
This review is addresses this new concept of biosensing and its application to the evaluation of the potency of chemicals in biological systems, in the field of cellular/tissular engineering.
Even for QSAR models which are typically classifiers, such as those used to predict carcinogenicity, it may be more appropriate and useful to have a quantitative evaluation of the potency, because if the chemical is carcinogenic then it is important to be able to evaluate the risk at a given dose level.
To allow an in vivo evaluation of the potency of CD137L-DCs in murine models we aimed at generating murine CD137L-DCs.
To avoid bias in evaluation of analgesic potency, quadrupeds should be tested in a natural ambulation position, just as humans would be tested in a standing posture.
If it is, some of the mediators of innate immune response, such as cytokine/chemokine levels, can be included in the evaluation of the potency of candidate vaccines.
Furthermore, evaluation of mitogenic potency using human osteosarcoma cells indicated that insulin aspart was slightly less mitogenic than RHI [ 135].
