Measurement of hemostatic factors in EDTA plasma.

30 Oct 2008 This study determined whether immunoassays of factors VII (FVII) and VIII (FVIII) and von Willebrand factor (vWF) in EDTA-anticoagulated plasma samples are comparable to bioassays and immunoassays of these factors in citrate-anticoagulated plasma. ... Read more...

Functional activity of antisera to group B streptococcal conjugate vaccines measured with an opsonophagocytosis assay and HL-60 effector cells.

29 Sep 2008 Conjugate vaccines against group B Streptococcus (GBS), which is a leading cause of bacterial disease among newborns and the elderly with underlying illnesses, have progressed from animal studies to phase 1 and 2 clinical trials in healthy adults. ... Read more...

Concurrent detection of secreted products from human lymphocytes by microengraving: cytokines and antigen-reactive antibodies.

29 Sep 2008 Cell surface determinants, cytokines and antibodies secreted by hematopoietic cells are used to classify their lineage and function. Currently available techniques are unable to elucidate multiple secreted proteins while also assigning phenotypic ... Read more...
