Multiple-dose design and bias-reducing methods for limiting dilution assays
This paper gives an overview of several (mostly recent) statistical contributions to the theory of Limiting and Serial Dilution Assays (LDA's, SDA's). A simple and useful method is presented for the setup of a design for an LDA or an SDA. This method is based on several user-supplied design parameters, consisting in the researcher's advance information and other parameters inherent to the parti...
متن کاملLimiting-dilution transplantation assays in mammary stem cell studies.
Mammary reconstitution assays can be used to measure the stem cell frequency within an epithelial population by transplanting increasingly diluted single-cell preparations of the population of interest. There are fundamental steps in the single-cell isolation protocol which are directly related to the number of single epithelial cells obtained. Once single-cell suspensions have been obtained, s...
متن کاملRadioresistance mechanisms of mammary tumor initiating cells: unreliable biological conclusions based on limiting dilution assays.
The recent study of tumor initiating cells (TICs) in a p53 null mammary tumor model by Zhang et al. (1) emphasizes that the selective activation of the Akt and canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways within the tumorigenic TICs plays a critical role in radiation resistance of TICs. Limiting dilution experiments are used to estimate and to compare TIC frequencies in their protocols. As such, ...
متن کاملApplication of Different methods for Reducing Radiation Dose to Breast during MDCT
The increased use of computed tomography (CT) and its high radiation dose have led to great concerns about its potential for radiation induced cancer risks. Breast is a radiosensitive tissue based on tissue weighting factors assigned by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). Moreover, the dose is maximal on the surface of the patient. Therefore, strategies should be tak...
متن کاملDesigning and Interpreting Limiting Dilution Assays: General Principles and Applications to the Latent Reservoir for Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1
Limiting dilution assays are widely used in infectious disease research. These assays are crucial for current human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 cure research in particular. In this study, we offer new tools to help investigators design and analyze dilution assays based on their specific research needs. Limiting dilution assays are commonly used to measure the extent of infection, and in the ...
