With a more sensitive assay, he hopes to make this call sooner.
This observation may offer a new and more sensitive assay for studying biological effects of electromagnetic radiation.
Methylation for 16 patients was additionally assessed using a more sensitive assay, MCA.
Even with this more sensitive assay, we could only barely detect small RNAs, indicating that they are very low in number.
The micro-neutralization is a more sensitive assay than HI as it measures antibodies to other neutralizing epitopes in addition to the haemagglutinin antigen.
The odorant assay may simply be a more sensitive assay that can reveal the weaker defects of such mutants as odr-1, odr-3, and odr-7 odr-1 that were not detectable in water soluble assays.
We next reduced the levels of QKI expression in Schwann/DRGN cultures using the same strategy except we used a more sensitive assay, quantitative RT-PCR, to monitor knockdown in rat Schwann cells [39].
These results suggest that if there is a difference between cases and controls for these markers it must be very small and we would need a more sensitive assay to detect the difference.
Also by replacing the conventional gel-purification protocol with one based on single-strand DNA separation, higher purity of ligated versus non-ligated DNA can be achieved, resulting in a more sensitive assay (data not shown).
As a more sensitive assay for secretion of rhoptry proteins into host cells, we used a parasite line where the rhoptry protein toxofilin has been fused to beta-lactamase [24].
These data suggest that TDP-43 does not modulate gross SG formation, but we cannot rule out that modulation might be able to be detected with a more sensitive assay or that TDP-43 modifies the RNA composition of SGs.
