Structural requirements for initiation of Limulus amebocyte lysate gelation by lipoteichoic acids
Lipoteichoic acids (LTAs) of varying chemical composition from five streptococcal species and one lactobacillus species initiated gelation of Limu lus amebocyte lysate. Preincubation with antisera specific for the poly(glycerol phosphate) (PGP) chain or, when appropriate, with antisera, specific for a carbohydrate substituent inhibited gelation initiated by lipoteichoic acid, but did not inhibi...
متن کاملBiomedical Applications of Limulus Amebocyte Lysate
This year celebrates the 30th anniversary of the licensing of Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a test for the presence of endotoxin in biologicals, pharmaceutical drugs, and medical devices. LAL is currently recognized by several major pharmacopoeias and is used worldwide. That a suitable alternative for the detection of endotoxin has not supplanted...
متن کاملSingle-step, chromogenic Limulus amebocyte lysate assay for endotoxin.
A new reagent for the chromogenic Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) assay is described. LAL was formulated for optimal performance in either an endpoint procedure or a kinetic procedure with the chromogenic substrate, buffer, and LAL components colyophilized as a single reagent. The kinetic chromogenic method required an incubating microplate reader coupled to a computer for collection and analysi...
متن کاملMeasuring of free endotoxin in alum-precipitated vaccine of haemorrhagic septicaemia by limulus amebocyte lysate test
Haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS) vaccine which is prepared in Razi Institute is used in endemic areas ofIran. Aluminum-hydroxide gel was used as adjuvant for preparing this vaccine. Post-vaccinal shock reactionswere the main complaint after use of this vaccine. In a previous study, we could improve the vaccine byalum-precipitation Pasteurella multocida cells and removing the liquid phase. In this ...
متن کاملEndotoxins and Their Detection with the Limulus Amebocyte Lysate Test
In contrast to the detailed descriptions of techniques provided by Larsson, a chapter on the measurement and analysis of acetylcholine written by Israel Hanin takes the form of a brief but comprehensive survey of all of the methods for the quantitation of acetylcholine introduced between 1933 and 1981. Each method presented is referenced and briefly critiqued. This is followed by an article by ...
