Bacteria can be ... just like the surveillance cells that respond to pyrogens in people. Champion calls the monocyte activation test “far preferable” to endotoxin testing.

They then isolate and lyse blood cells, producing a reagent called ... “standards for developing synthetic alternatives for bacterial endotoxin testing,” spending at least $470,000 between ...

Endotoxins are dangerous substances produced by many types of bacteria, but current methods to detect them are time consuming and expensive. Now, researchers have developed a convenient platform ...

Endotoxins, the lipopolysaccharides in the cell wall of small bacteria, are released when the bacteria have disintegrated; their hydrophobic nature draws them to common plastic labware ...

The novel Sievers Eclipse BET platform reduces endotoxin assay setup time by as much as 85% and decreases the use of Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) reagent by up to 90%. At the same time ...

As soon as the bacteria entered the bloodstream, unleashing the poisonous endotoxin, the body began responding on its own. White blood cells, the hunter-killers of the immune system, locked onto ...

They came up with the idea to use the horseshoe crab blood, the LAL testing on endotoxins. And they chose E. coli bacteria to use it on," said Consuelo Kirk , STEM director at Pinecrest Academy ...

2008;53(3):227-235. Once they have colonized the uterine cavity, bacteria can not only infect the fetus but also can release endotoxins that, in sufficient quantities, are believed to initiate a ...
