Dose enrichments were quantified using a standard dilution experiment [ 50].
To localize the classical face (fusiform face area, FFA; Kanwisher et al., 1997) and scene-selective (parahippocampal place area, PPA; Epstein and Kanwisher, 1998) visual areas, we conducted an additional visual localizer experiment on a separate group of seven normally sighted participants, using a standard visual localizer experiment (detailed in Striem-Amit et al., 2012 a ).
1-D proton NMR spectra were recorded using a standard one-pulse experiment.
VEGF recombinant concentrations were determined using a standard curve prepared with each experiment.
All necessary experimental parameters, such as the tip area function and frame compliance, were calibrated prior to each set of experiments using a standard fused silica specimen.
Calibration of the instrument was done for each series of experiments, using a standard solution of amino acid and fatty acid derivatives.
The studies were performed based on the Taguchi L16 design of experiments using a standard tool holder and a newly developed tool holder with a chip breaker.
In summary, we consistently observed significant FRET values for APPL1-APPL1, andL2-APPL2, and APPL1-APPL2 minimal BAR domain FRET pairs with all three FRET methods in our experiments using a standard laser-scanning microscope equipped with a spectral detector.
We measured total cholesterol in mouse plasma in the early experiments using a standard commercial cholesterol esterase enzymatic assay (Cayman Chemical Co., Ann Arbor, MI).
In our primary experiments using a standard MTT (3- 4,5 -dimethylthiazol-2-yl-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) cytotoxicity assay, we observe that a 48-h preincubation of Raji, Ramos or Daudi cells (Burkitt's lymphomas), as well as DoHH2 cells (follicular lymphoma), with sorafenib significantly potentiates the ability of rituximab to induce complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC; Figure 1a).
