Inverse Probability of Treatment Weighting (Propensity Score) using the Military Health System Data Repository and National Death Index

When randomized controlled trials are not feasible, a comprehensive health care data source like the Military Health System Data Repository provides an attractive alternative for retrospective analyses. Incorporating mortality data from the national death index and balancing differences between groups using propensity weighting helps reduce biases inherent in retrospective...

An In Vitro Assay to Evaluate the Anti-Tumor Activity of Tumor-Specific CAR T Cells02:42

An In Vitro Assay to Evaluate the Anti-Tumor Activity of Tumor-Specific CAR T Cells

This video demonstrates an in vitro assay to validate chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell activity. B-cell lymphoma cells expressing CD19 antigen and cytoplasmic luciferase are co-cultured with CD19-specific CAR T cells. CAR binding to CD19 on a tumor induces the CAR T cells to release cytokines and toxins that cause tumor cell cytotoxicity. The CAR T cell activity is evaluated by quantifying the released cytokine and decreased luciferase-mediated bioluminescence in the tumor...

The Portable Chemical Sterilizer (PCS), D-FENS, and D-FEND ALL: Novel Chlorine Dioxide Decontamination Technologies for the Military

The Portable Chemical Sterilizer (PCS) is a revolutionary, energy-independent, almost waterless sterilization technology for Army medical units. The PCS generates chlorine dioxide from dry reagents mixed with water on-site, at-will, and at point-of-use (PoU) in a plastic suitcase. The Disinfectant-sprayer for Foods and ENvironmentally-friendly Sanitation (D-FENS) and the Disinfectant for ENvironmentally-friendly Decontamination, All-purpose (D-FEND ALL) produce aqueous chlorine dioxide in a...

An In Vitro Method to Determine the Anti-Apoptotic Activity of Antibodies against TNFα

This video demonstrates a technique for assessing the efficacy of antibodies against tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα), an inflammatory cytokine, through an in vitro bioanalytical approach. TNFα, when introduced to stressed cells, triggers apoptosis. However, binding to the antibodies confines TNFα, averting apoptosis. The degree of apoptosis is quantified using a bioluminescence...
