PCRM develops world's first cruelty-free insulin assay
If you're an organization dedicated to humane alternatives to the use of animals in research and you want to conduct research of your own that requires using animals as part of the testing, what do you do? In the case of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, you invent your own test. PCRM president Neal Barnard, M.D., announced today that PCRM has developed the world's first...Researchers develop assay that could be applied to drug screening
Using state of the art imaging technology a team from Yale School of Medicine has glimpsed one of the cell's most important 'nano-machines' in action. The work, performed in collaboration with English and French scientists, provides new insight into the machinery cells use to internalize cell surface receptors. All cells traffic protein cargos across their outer membrane, and one of the mo...Molecule by molecule, new assay shows real-time gene activity
Chemists at Harvard University have developed the first technique providing a real-time, molecule-by-molecule "movie" of protein production in live cells. Their direct observation of fluorescently tagged molecules...Triplex assay used to assay duplex genomic DNA
Direct detection of base sequence in duplex nucleic acid has long been an unfulfilled objective. Ingeneus Research will publish "Heteropolymeric Triplex-Based Genomic Assay® to Detect Pathogens or Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Human Genomic Samples" in the March 21st issue of the international, peer-reviewed, open access, online journal, PLoS ONE. In the article they present a wealth...Glutathione-S-Transferase (GST) Colorimetric Assay Kit from Sigma-Aldrich
Description:Biochem/physiol Actions: Glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs) are a group of enzymes important in the detoxification of many xenobiotics in mammals. The enzymes protect cells against toxicants by conjugating the thiol group of the glutathione to electrophilic xenobiotics, and thereby defend cells against the mutagenic, carcinogenic, and toxic effects of the compounds. GST activity is presen...Human CALCA EIA (Enzyme immunoassay) Kit, Host: Rabbit ; Extraction-free from BACHEM
Description:Antigen sequence: H-Ala-Cys-Asp-Thr-Ala-Thr-Cys-Val-Thr-His-Arg-Leu-Ala-Gly-Leu-Leu-Ser-Arg-Ser-Gly-Gly-Val-Val-Lys-Asn-Asn-Phe-Val-Pro-Thr-Asn-Val-Gly-Ser-Lys-Ala-Phe-NH )-&alpha...In Vitro Osteogenesis Assay Kit from CHEMICON
Description:CHEMICON's In Vitro Osteogenesis Assay Kit contains all reagents necessary to efficiently differentiate MC3T3-E1cells to a mature osteoblastic lineage, as determined by staining for mineralization. In addition this kit provides all the necessary reagents and a protocol for quantifying osteogenesis using a standard plate reader. This product is useful for studying the effects of growth factors, dr...Mast Cell Degranulation colorimetric Assay Kit from CHEMICON
Description:Degranulation, the secretion of cytoplasmic granules, is a key step in the inflammatory response of leukocytes (e.g. basophils, neutrophils, eosinophils, and mast cells). In addition to histamine, these secretory granules contain many proinflammatory mediators including heparin, cytokines, chemokines, and many proteases (Hallgren, 2001). Tryptase, a tetrameric serine proteinase, has emerged as th...Interferon Antibody Bioassays Services from PBL InterferonSource
Description:PBL's bioassays for interferons are cytopathic effect inhibition assays, also known as CPE and antiviral assays. The neutralization assay measures the antibody's ability to neutralize the CPE activity of the cytokine. Sample types include; tissue culture supernatents; serum and delivery formulations. In these assays, one unit is defined as the quantity of interferon required per milliliter to r...A Positive Selection Assay for Mutation Analysis in Big Blue Animals
