Relative potencies of four reference endotoxin standards as measured by the Limulus amoebocyte lysate and USP rabbit pyrogen tests.

چکیده
Four commonly used reference endotoxin standards, Escherichia coli O113:H10:K0, E. coli O55:B5, Salmonella abortusequi, and Shigella dysenteriae were compared by the USP rabbit pyrogen and the Limulus amoebocyte lysate tests. By the rabbit pyrogen test, S. abortus equi was identified as the most potent endotoxin, followed closely by E. coli O113:H10:K0 and E. coli O55:B5.

Endotoxin Contamination of Large Volume Parenterals as Detected by Limulus Amebocyte Lysate as an Alternative to Rabbit Pyrogen Test
The possibility of replacing the rabbit pyrogen test by the Limulus Amebocyte lysate (LAL) test, as a final release test for Large Volume Parenterals (LVPs) was investigated. The sensitivity and specificity of the LAL test and rabbit pyrogen assay were studied by means of artificially contaminated parenterals. Various LVPs (mostly containing electrolytes) were spiked with 0.5 and 5 EUlml o...
متن کاملLimulus amoebocyte lysate assay for detection and quantitation of endotoxin in a small-volume parenteral product.
A Limulus amoebocyte lysate gel-clotting method for the determination of endotoxin in a small-volume parenteral product has been described. Sample dilution with 0.1 M potassium phosphate monobasic buffer (pH 8.0) effectively eliminated assay interference, whereas dilution with water did not. The threshold pyrogenic dose for Escherichia coli EC-2 and O127:B8 endotoxins was determined to be 1.0 n...
متن کاملDetection of endotoxins in human blood and plasma. An improved in-vitro pyrogen test.
We describe an improved in-vitro procedure for detection of endotoxin in human blood and plasma by use of Limulus amoebocyte lysate. Increasing concentrations of Escherichia coli endotoxin added to a constant amount of the lysate cause a proportional increase in protein precipitated by the endotoxin. By measuring the amount of protein precipitated, it was possible to determine the equivalent E....
متن کاملHuman monocytoid cell lines as indicators of endotoxin: comparison with rabbit pyrogen and Limulus amoebocyte lysate assay.
The aim of this study was to develop an in vitro test system for pyrogenic substances. Three clones derived from human monocytoid cell lines, which were selected by their high sensitivity to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), were assessed for tumor necrosis factor (TNF) production. Their response to pyrogen-containing samples was compared with that in a Limulus amoebocyte lysate assay and the rabbit py...
