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...

Positive Limulus amoebocyte lysate reactions with polyriboinosinic acid x polyribocytidylic acid.

The annealed copolymer polyriboinosinic acid x polyriboinosinic acid reacted with Limulus amoebocyte lysate to cause gelation at a concentration approximately 2,000-fold or greater than bacterial endotoxins. This copolymer was pyrogenic in rabbits and demonstrated hypochromicity, but no significant correlation was noted among Limulus amoebocyte lysate reactivity, progenicity, and hypochromicity...

Chromogenic Limulus amoebocyte lysate assay for rapid detection of gram-negative bacteriuria.

A chromogenic Limulus amoebocyte lysate assay was evaluated as a rapid screening test for the detection of clinically significant gram-negative bacteriuria. The development of a distinctive yellow color after the addition of chromogenic substrate to the Limulus amoebocyte lysate-urine reaction mixture was used to measure greater than or equal to 10(5) gram-negative bacteria per ml. A total of 3...
