inducing Protocols

Category: Immunology: B Cell Protocols

Describes the antigenic stimulation of in vitro antibody production by B cells and the subsequent measurement of secreted antibodies. The first protocol is a generalized system for inducing in vitro antibody production and can accommodate various types of antigens under study. Secreted antibodies can then be measured with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or other soluble-antibody detection systems. - [Read Assays for B Lymphocyte Function Protocols]

Category: Pharmacology and Toxicology Protocols: Cytotoxicity Protocols: Liver Toxicity Assays Protocols

This bioassay utilizes cultured Hepa-lclc7 (Hepa-1) mouse hepatoma cells to assess the CYPlA1-inducing potency or cytotoxicity of pure test chemicals or environmental samples.  In the Hepa-l induction test , the CYPlA1-inducing potency of the test sample is detected as increased aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) and 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activities. - [Read CYP1A1-Inducing Potency and Cytotoxicity Test in the HEPA-1 Mouse Hepatoma Cell Line]

Category: Pharmacology and Toxicology Protocols: Cytotoxicity Protocols: Liver Toxicity Assays Protocols

This bioassay utilises cultured H-4-II-E rat hepatoma cells to assess the aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) inducing potencies of planar aromatic hydrocarbons and/or contaminated environmental samples.  The response of the cells to pure test chemicals or extracts of mixtures is compared with their response to the standard 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). - [Read H-4-II-E Rat Hepatoma Cell Bioassay Protocol]

Category: RNAi Technology Protocols

Short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) can be used to prime RNA synthesis by the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP).  SiRNAs can be used by RdRP as primers for specific cellular mRNAs, forming dsRNA products capable of inducing transitive RNAi. - [Read Protocol for siRNA-Primed RNA Synthesis Protocol]
