Multiple-dose design and bias-reducing methods for limiting dilution assays
This paper gives an overview of several (mostly recent) statistical contributions to the theory of Limiting and Serial Dilution Assays (LDA's, SDA's). A simple and useful method is presented for the setup of a design for an LDA or an SDA. This method is based on several user-supplied design parameters, consisting in the researcher's advance information and other parameters inherent to the parti...
متن کاملLimiting-dilution transplantation assays in mammary stem cell studies.
Mammary reconstitution assays can be used to measure the stem cell frequency within an epithelial population by transplanting increasingly diluted single-cell preparations of the population of interest. There are fundamental steps in the single-cell isolation protocol which are directly related to the number of single epithelial cells obtained. Once single-cell suspensions have been obtained, s...
متن کاملRadioresistance mechanisms of mammary tumor initiating cells: unreliable biological conclusions based on limiting dilution assays.
The recent study of tumor initiating cells (TICs) in a p53 null mammary tumor model by Zhang et al. (1) emphasizes that the selective activation of the Akt and canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways within the tumorigenic TICs plays a critical role in radiation resistance of TICs. Limiting dilution experiments are used to estimate and to compare TIC frequencies in their protocols. As such, ...
متن کاملStatistical evaluation of SAGE libraries: consequences for experimental design.
Since the introduction of serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) as a method to quantitatively analyze the differential expression of genes, several statistical tests have been published for the pairwise comparison of SAGE libraries. Testing the difference between the number of specific tags found in two SAGE libraries is hampered by the fact that each SAGE library is only one measurement: t...
متن کاملhydrochlorothiazide detection in urine samples by hplc-dad and experimental design dispersive l-l microextraction
hydrochlorothiazide (hct) is a diuretic agent which is shown to be effective in the treatment of hypertension. literature reports have demonstrated that urinary excretion data may be used to assess the bioavailability of various formulations containing this thiazide. also hct consumption by the athletes is one of the drugs which should be regulated by world anti-doping agency (wada), because of...
