Automated, quantitative cytopathic effect reduction assay for interferon.
A rapid, cytopathic effect reduction assay for human interferon (IFN) is described. Dilutions of IFN were made with an automated diluter in 96-well microtiter plates. Total incubation time was 26 h. IFN titers were calculated from optical density readings of crystal violet-stained monolayers in an automated spectrophotometer, which required less than 1 min to read each plate.
متن کاملMicrotiter assay for interferon: microspectrophotometric quantitation of cytopathic effect.
This report describes an accurate, reproducible, and efficient microassay for human interferon, using a dye-uptake method to quantitate cytopathogenicity. The antiviral activity was measured by using a Gilford 300-N microsepctrophotometer, with the automatic programmer, sampler, and data lister. Two hundred interferon samples, each in a final volume of 1.0 ml, may be analyzed and recorded in 45...
متن کاملAutomated, quantitative microhemagglutination assay for Treponema pallidum antibodies.
An automated, quantitative microhemagglutination assay for antibodies to Treponema pallidum was developed by using T. pallidum-sensitized erythrocytes and an automatic serial-dilution instrument. Reactivity was found in sera from 54 rabbits and 6 chimpanzees infected with T. pallidum. Reactivity was also found in sera from animals infected with T. pertenue, T. carateum, and T. cuniculi. No reac...
متن کاملAutomated, quantitative screening assay for antiangiogenic compounds using transgenic zebrafish.
Pathologic angiogenesis has emerged as an important therapeutic target in several major diseases. Zebrafish offer the potential for high-throughput drug discovery in a whole vertebrate system. We developed the first quantitative, automated assay for antiangiogenic compound identification using zebrafish embryos. This assay uses transgenic zebrafish with fluorescent blood vessels to facilitate i...
متن کاملQuantitative assay of interferon by the immunofluorescent cell-counting technique.
A rapid, quantitative assay of interferon was developed, based on the reduction of the number of virus-infected cells by dilutions of interferon. Infected cells were enumerated by fluorescent cell-counting 24 hours after challenge of interferontreated McCoy cover-slip cell monolayers. A quantitative linear relationship between the reduction of fluorescent cells and dilutions of interferon was d...
