Convenient assay for interferons.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A convenient assay for interferons based on reduction of cytopathic effect was developed. The number of manipulations and the lengths of the various incubation steps were reduced to a minimum. The assay is simple to perform and can be completed within 16 h. Moreover, it can be used with various types of cells and a variety of viruses.

Convenient biological assay for polyethylene glycol-interferons in patients with hepatitis C.
The vesicular stomatitis virus cytopathic effect reduction assay is suitable to quantify polyethylene glycol-alpha interferon 2a (PEG-IFN-alpha 2a) and PEG-IFN-alpha 2b. Human serum and ribavirin did not interfere with the assay. This bioassay was successfully used for assaying PEG-IFN-alpha 2a and PEG-IFN-alpha 2b in serum samples from patients undergoing combination therapy.
متن کاملDye Uptake Methods for Assessing Viral Cytopathogenicity and their Application to Interferon Assays
When neutral red is added to the liquid medium in tissue cultures, more dye is taken up by healthy cells than by damaged cells. This forms the basis of a method for assessing the relative extent of cell damage in different cultures, the amounts of bound dye being determined directly by inspection of the stained cell sheets, or indirectly by estimating extracted dye colorimetrically. This proced...
متن کاملMicroassay for human and chick cell interferons.
The microassay for human and chick interferon described in this paper required much smaller amounts of samples and reagents and considerably less time and effort than the plaque reduction assay while yielding comparable results.
متن کاملEnzyme immunoassay of interferon with peroxidase-labelled virus-specific monoclonal antibodies.
To quantify the antiviral effect of interferon (IFN) we applied a mixture of two horseradish peroxidase-labelled monoclonal antibodies, specific for the E1 glycoprotein of Semliki Forest virus, in a direct enzyme immunoassay. This assay is suitable for detection of virus replication in L-cells, seeded as monolayers in 96-well plates. Inhibition of absorbance values caused by IFN was determined ...
متن کاملBioactivity Determination of Native and Variant Forms of Therapeutic Interferons
The traditional antiviral assays for the determination of interferon potency are reported to have considerable variability between and within assays. Although several reporter gene assays based on interferon-inducible promoter activities have been reported, data from comprehensive validation studies are lacking and few studies have been conducted to analyze the variant forms of interferons, whi...
