Optimization of Antigen Preparation for Hemagglutination Inhibition Assay of Newcastle Disease Virus Serology

This article presents a simplified method for preparing 4 hemagglutination units antigen for Newcastle disease virus serological testing. By accurately determining the hemagglutination titer of the antigen, combined with a more rigorous back-titration method, and a well-defined adjustment process, it enhances test efficiency, reduces false positives, and improves disease surveillance in...

NMR-Based Activity Assays for Determining Compound Inhibition, IC50 Values, Artifactual Activity, and Whole-Cell Activity of Nucleoside Ribohydrolases

NMR-based activity assays have been developed to identify and characterize inhibitors of two nucleoside ribohydrolase enzymes. Protocols are provided for initial compound assays at 500 μM and 250 μM, dose-response assays for determining IC50 values, detergent counter screen assays, jump-dilution counter screen assays, and assays in E. coli whole cells.

Viral Concentration Determination Through Plaque Assays: Using Traditional and Novel Overlay Systems

Plaque assays are the gold standard for viral quantification, utilizing entrapping overlays on host cellular monolayers to determine viral titers. While various semisolid overlays have traditionally been used, here we demonstrate plaque techniques comparing semisolid overlays to a novel liquid microcrystalline cellulose among several families of...
