POTENCY TEST OF ANTI-D BLOOD-TYPING SERUM

Assay of anti-D using the Technicon Auto-Analyzer and the international standard anti-D typing serum.

A method is described for the automated quantitation of the anti-D content of sera. This procedure is far more reproducible than current manual techniques. The use of the International Standard anti-D typing serum in the calibration of a working standard enables results to be expressed in mug/ml of antibody protein.

Blood Serum Atherogenicity: Cellular Test for the Development of Anti- Atherosclerotic Therapy.

Atherosclerosis is one of the main problems in modern medical practice. This multifactorial disease can remain asymptomatic for a long time before manifesting itself in cardiovascular disorders, causing ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction and even sudden death. Many synthetic drugs have been developed to reduce the symptoms of atherosclerosis, however, their efficacy in terms of reduc...

ABO, D blood typing and subtyping using plug-based microfluidics.

A plug-based microfluidic approach was used to perform multiple agglutination assays in parallel without cross-contamination and using only microliter volumes of blood. To perform agglutination assays on-chip, a microfluidic device was designed to combine aqueous streams of antibody, buffer, and red blood cells (RBCs) to form droplets 30-40 nL in volume surrounded by a fluorinated carrier fluid...

A potency test of tuberculin.

The tuberculin for Mantoux-test is neither heated nor filtered after diluting, of course. Heating of a diluted tuberculin was once made half in fun. And as stated in section 3.1 and 6.1, a diluted tuberculin was sealed in ampuls, and heated by autoclaving for 20 minutes at 15 pounds pressure (120•Ž). After this precedure we saw a curious result: the potency was lost on the whole, of course, but...
