endotoxin binding proteins

01/01/1995 - "In the present study the protective effect of a recombinant endotoxin-binding protein rBPI23 on the circulatory changes in experimental endotoxemia in humans was investigated. "
04/01/2014 - "LTL was measured by real-time PCR, and endotoxemia was assessed by the limulus amoebocyte lysate method. "
05/01/2012 - "Endotoxemia was measured using neutrophil burst and Limulus amoebocyte lysate (LAL) assays. "
01/01/1983 - "The Limulus amoebocyte lysate test indicated that endotoxemia did not occur as a result of heat stress. "
11/01/1982 - "Endotoxemia was not found by the limulus amoebocyte lysate test. "

08/01/1985 - "The Limulus amoebocyte lysate (LAL) assay was improved for the rapid evaluation of exudative urethritis in males. "
07/01/1991 - "The Limulus amoebocyte lysate assay was used to evaluate chlamydial cell cultures and also the exudates from adult male patients with non-gonococcal urethritis, as a possible method to subdivide this condition into chlamydial and nonchlamydial urethritis. "
04/01/1980 - "The microdilution Limulus amoebocyte lysate technique was a rapid, reliable, sensitive, and economical diagnostic aid in the initial evaluation of exudative urethritis in men."
04/01/1980 - "Eighty-one men with exudative urethritis were evaluated on initial visit for gonococcal urethritis by using the standard tube and newly developed microdilution Limulus amoebocyte lysate techniques. "
09/01/1981 - "Thus, use of the Limulus amoebocyte lysate test device would enable the private physician to make an accurate, presumptive diagnosis of gonococcal and nongonococcal disease in males with exudative urethritis within 30 min without the need of a microscope and to initiate proper therapy during the patient's initial evaluation."

11/01/1987 - "When administered prophylactically, purified LPS (as low as 4 ng/kg of mouse body weight) or antibody preparations contaminated with endotoxin (assayed by Limulus amoebocyte lysate test) were protective against lethal challenge with a clinical isolate of Escherichia coli (P less than .01). "

05/01/2000 - "The study included one case each with false-positive Limulus amoebocyte lysate and with culture-negative peritonitis. "
05/01/2000 - "A negative Limulus amoebocyte lysate test is not reliable for the exclusion of Gram-negative peritonitis. "
05/01/2000 - "Limulus amoebocyte lysate was positive in three of seven cases of fungal peritonitis. "
05/01/2000 - "Limulus amoebocyte lysate assay was false-negative in 13 cases of Gram-negative peritonitis (22%). "
02/01/1990 - "Are the serum levels of endotoxin-binding proteins reliable predictors of complications in the course of peritonitis?"

05/01/1979 - "A commercially available form of limulus amoebocyte lysate was used in this study for detection of Gram-negative corneal infections in both experimental animals and in a group of nine patients. "
08/13/1994 - "Relative concentrations of endotoxin-binding proteins in body fluids during infection."
01/01/1987 - "Preoperatively, all blood samples from the patients had negative Limulus amoebocyte lysate tests, negative blood cultures, normal total white cell counts, and were clinically without signs of infection. "
07/01/1991 - "The Limulus amoebocyte lysate assay for prediction of chlamydial infection in males with non-gonococcal urethritis: an evaluation."
01/01/2007 - "Major goals of our research are to better understand: (1) the structural bases of specific host-endotoxin interactions; (2) functional diversity among host endotoxin-binding proteins; and (3) how the actions of various endotoxin-binding proteins are regulated to permit optimal host responses to GNB infection.
