They show high specificity (∼100%), and their sensitivity depends on the virus serotype causing the infection and timing of sample drawn (typically 50 70% in this kind of study).
The blood samples in the paliperidone ER studies were obtained at Tmax, whereas the timing of blood draws was not specified in the risperidone study.
However, despite the important technological progress made in the past years in this field, measurement of B- and T-cell responses still faces many difficulties: standardization of cell preparation, timing of blood draw, cells conservation, reproducibility and inter-laboratory comparability, available volumes of blood in the pediatric population, and assay costs.
Blood was drawn from the children at the time of clinical examination according to NHANES III protocol and categorized as to timing of blood draw (morning, 0800 1200 hours; afternoon, 1200 1600 hours; evening, 1600 1900 hours).
Similarly, Jermyn [7] proposed a hand-drawn sketch to generate passwords according to the position and timing of the sketch drawing.
The proportion of case control pairs where both were drawn at high-level seasons of plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (April to October) was 72% of all pairs, so difference in timing of blood draw would minimally impact on risk estimates.
Factors associated with implementation of more efficacious ARV regimens include timing of blood-draw for CD4 count and capacity to initiate cART onsite where PMTCT services were being offered.

LH is known to have diurnal variation, specifically, "sleep-enhanced" variation near pubertal onset, but adjustment for timing of blood draw (morning, afternoon, evening) did not substantially alter associations among Pb, Cd, and LH.
