The rapid analysis of fungal growth in the presence of inhibitory effects [PDF]
For fungal contamination of foodstuffs, there are no fast, reliable, automated techniques to examine growth, nor have any predictive models been developed to describe the growth in the same way as for bacteria. Traditional plating methods can take 3 to

Asymptomatic COVID-19 re-infection in a Japanese male by elevated half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of neutralizing antibodies [PDF]
"Re-infection" with COVID-19 is a growing concern; re-infection cases have reported worldwide. However, the clinical characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 re-infection, including the levels and role of anti-SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein IgG antibodies and the half-maximal concentration (IC50) of neutralizing antibodies remain unknown.Both the epidemiological and ...

Total Raltegravir Concentrations in Cerebrospinal Fluid Exceed the 50-Percent Inhibitory Concentration for Wild-Type HIV-1 [PDF]
ABSTRACT HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders continue to be common. Antiretrovirals that achieve higher concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are associated with better control of HIV and improved cognition. The objective of this study was to measure total raltegravir (RAL) concentrations in CSF and to compare them with

Estimation of Serum-Free 50-Percent Inhibitory Concentrations for Human Immunodeficiency Virus Protease Inhibitors Lopinavir and Ritonavir [PDF]
ABSTRACTUsing measured free fraction and 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) values for the human immunodeficiency virus protease inhibitors lopinavir (LPV) and ritonavir (RTV) in tissue culture media with various protein concentrations ranging from 5 to 50%, we estimated serum-free IC50values for each drug.

A practical determination of diarrhetic shellfish poison (DSP) was established by measuring the 50% acid phosphatase activity inhibitory concentration (APIC50) with Tetrahymena pyriformis, in place of the mouse lethal assay. That is, DSP was extracted with acetone and ether from the toxic hepatopancreas of scallops, and applied to a silicic acid column.

Lower than expected maraviroc concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid exceed the wild-type CC chemokine receptor 5-tropic HIV-1 50% inhibitory concentration [PDF]
To measure maraviroc total cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations and compare them with total and unbound plasma concentrations. Total maraviroc was measured by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry, whereas ultrafiltration was used for unbound maraviroc. Maraviroc was detected in all nine CSF/plasma pairs

In Vitro Effect of Copper (I) Complex [Cu(NN1)2](ClO4) on Vibrio harveyi BB170 Biofilm Formation
Biofilm formation in pathogenic bacteria is an important factor of resistance to antimicrobial treatments, allowing them to survive for a long time in their hosts. In the search for new antibiofilm agents, in this work we report the activity of a copper (

AVP‐IC 50 Pred: Multiple machine learning techniques‐based prediction of peptide antiviral activity in terms of half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ) [PDF]
ABSTRACT Peptide‐based antiviral therapeutics has gradually paved their way into mainstream drug discovery research. Experimental determination of peptides' antiviral activity as expressed by their IC 50 values involves a lot of effort. Therefore, we have developed “AVP‐IC
