Ideal target organism for quantitative bactericidal assays.
We have developed a target organism which permits quantitative bactericidal assays. The organism is an Escherichia coli mutant which cannot grow at the temperature of the assay (37 degrees C), but retains full colony-forming potential for subsequent quantitation at 25 degrees C. We show that quantitative data on the bactericidal capacity of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and alveolar macrophages ...
متن کاملDrug assays in neuropsychiatry
The measurement and interpretation of plasma concentrations of drugs are beset by numerous problems and, up to the present time, these have militated against their routine use in neuropsychiatry. In other areas of medicine, however, drug assays have proved to be of clinical importance, and experience here has allowed the establishment of a number of principles. Measurements of plasma steady sta...
متن کاملMethods for Multiplex Template Sampling in Digital PCR Assays
The efficient use of digital PCR (dPCR) for precision copy number analysis requires high concentrations of target molecules that may be difficult or impossible to obtain from clinical samples. To solve this problem we present a strategy, called Multiplex Template Sampling (MTS), that effectively increases template concentrations by detecting multiple regions of fragmented target molecules. Thre...
متن کاملEnzymatic assays for creatinine: time for action.
Estimation of glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) on the basis of serum creatinine concentration measurements using equations is critical to ongoing global public health efforts to improve the diagnosis and treatment of chronic kidney disease. There is now ongoing activity to promote world-wide standardization of methods to measure creatinine concentrations, together with the introduction of a re...
متن کاملOptimizing classification of drug-drug interaction potential for CYP450 isoenzyme inhibition assays in early drug discovery.
In drug discovery, the potential of cytochrome P450 inhibition of new chemical entities is frequently quantified in terms of IC50 values. In early drug discovery, a risk classification into low, medium, or high potential inhibitors is often sufficient for ranking and prioritizing of compounds. Although often 6 or more inhibitor concentrations are used to determine the IC50 value, the question a...
