Conventional assay systems for interferon.

H K Oie

    Texas Reports on Biology and Medicine
    |January 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    New interferon assays are being developed due to the lack of a universal standard. Promising methods like EMC HA, neuraminidase, and radiochemical assays offer speed, economy, and broad applicability, potentially replacing older bioassays.

    Area of Science:

    • Biotechnology
    • Immunology
    • Assay Development

    Background:

    • The need for a universally accepted interferon assay persists, evidenced by continuous literature on new methods.
    • Current trends favor assays that are simple, rapid, economical, and capable of detecting interferons across multiple animal species.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review and highlight novel interferon assay methodologies.
    • To assess the potential of emerging assays to supersede conventional bioassays.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of recent literature on interferon assay development.
    • Focus on the EMC HA yield reduction assay, neuraminidase yield reduction method, and radiochemical assay.

    Main Results:

    • The EMC HA yield reduction assay, neuraminidase yield reduction method, and radiochemical assay exhibit desirable features.
    • These assays demonstrate potential for broad applicability across various animal species.

    Conclusions:

    • Emerging interferon assays offer significant advantages over conventional methods.
    • These novel techniques are poised to become the new standard in interferon detection.
