Statistical procedure for evaluating the sensitivity of Limulus amoebocyte lysate by using a reference lysate. 1979

S C Rastogi, and E B Seligmann, and H D Hochstein, and J H Dawson, and L G Farag, and R E Marquina

A study was designed to estimate variability of the Limulus amoebocyte lysate test by comparing a reference lysate against itself. Three technicians performed parallel tests, i.e., titrated side by side, the contents of two vials of reference lysate on 4 different days using 24 vials of the United States reference lysate and 12 vials of the United States reference endotoxin. Each parallel test was replicated three times. From the sensitivity endpoints, ratios were calculated for each parallel test. These ratios were converted to the logarithm for estimating variability among technicians and among vials of endotoxin. By using the overall variability of log ratios, a statistical procedure was developed to evaluate the sensitivity of each lot of licensed lysate submitted to the Bureau of Biologics for release.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008033 Limulus Test Sensitive method for detection of bacterial endotoxins and endotoxin-like substances that depends on the in vitro gelation of Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL), prepared from the circulating blood (amebocytes) of the horseshoe crab, by the endotoxin or related compound. Used for detection of endotoxin in body fluids and parenteral pharmaceuticals. Limulus Tests,Test, Limulus,Tests, Limulus
D004731 Endotoxins Toxins closely associated with the living cytoplasm or cell wall of certain microorganisms, which do not readily diffuse into the culture medium, but are released upon lysis of the cells. Endotoxin
D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
