Biological Characterization and Assay of Cytokines and Growth Factors
Cytokines and growth factors have vast therapeutic potentials for a wide range of diseases. Many have been cloned and produced, using recombinant DNA technology, by the biopharmaceutical industry. Of these, several have proved to be extremely successful biological medicines with increasing numbers undergoing clinical trials. One aspect of the successful development of these proteins as therapeutics is assuring quality control. This can mainly be achieved through thorough characterization of the product, both biologically and physico-chemically. In this book, leading scientists from industry, research and regulatory agencies present papers on the various methods currently available for analyz...
The Design of Synthetic Inhibitors of Thrombin
In one generation, the numerous factors involved in blood coagulation have become real protein entities, isolated in pure form, expressed by recombinant DNA techniques, and subjected to structure elucidation by the modem methods of physical chemistry, viz. , X-ray diffraction, and NMR, ESR and fluorescence spectroscopy. The major milestone in this field was the breakthrough achieved by W. Bode, R. Huber and their colleagues in 1989 in of human a-thrombin, inhibited with D-Phe-Pro-Arg determining the crystal structure chioromethyl ketone. The availability of this structure will greatly facilitate the interpretation of experiments designed to gain an understanding of the interatomic interactio...
Mycotoxins and Animal Foods
The ingestion of feed containing mycotoxins has serious adverse effects on the health of farm animals, contributing to reduced weight gain, lower reproductivity, damage to the immune system, severe illnesses, and even death. Mycotoxins formed in animal feedstuffs depend on the presence of specific strains of filamentous fungi or molds and are strongly influenced by environmental factors such as temperature and humidity. This book considers the biological nature of mycotoxin formation, the chemical and biological methods of analysis, as well as the extensive range of substrates capable of supporting the growth of toxigenic fungi. The book also provides extensive coverage of the mycotoxicoses of farmed animals and the current state of research into the control and detoxification of mycotoxins. All researchers interested in mycotoxins and their effects on animals will find important information in this book.
The Statistics of Bioassay
The Statistics of Bioassay: With Special Reference to the Vitamins, Volume II focuses on the processes, reactions, principles, and approaches involved in the biological assay of vitamins. The publication first offers information on the general principles of biological assay, dosage-response curve and its error, and designs for segregating nonrandom variation. Discussions focus on replacement of missing values, randomized groups, calculation of the line, analysis of the variation about the line, comparative biological assays, analytical biological assays, and determination of activity. The text then ponders on measurement of relative potency and correction of quantitative variables. The manus...
Statistical Techniques in Bioassay
In the face of the ever-increasing importance of statistical methods in medical research and practice, the first edition of this publication has provided a sound and deep understanding of statistical methods in bioassay to many students and researchers. In addition to the profound presentation of statistical methods of the first edition, here the reader will find new material stemming from the recent statistical literature as well as data reflecting modern trends in general applied statistical research. Examples are discussions on design and planning, e.g. choices of dose levels, and additional section in the chapter on Bayes methods, and a new chapter on sequential estimation for the logistic model. The book will be a valuable source of information to students in the experimental area of statistical aspects of biological assay, professional statisticians with an interest in research in this topic, teachers in statistics and biology, and investigators in the biological and medical sciences who use bioassay in their work.
