High impact information on Luminescent Measurements

• These results indicate that the X. luminescens lux system may be the bacterial bioluminescent system of choice for application in coupled luminescent assays and expression of lux genes in eukaryotic systems at higher temperatures [1].
• 5. When 44 of the GD sera were compared in a traditional salt-free bioassay, 61% were positive compared with 75% in the new luminescent assay [2].
• C-terminally (Arg to Met) substituted analogs of the insect tachykinin-related peptide, Lom-TK I, displayed increased agonistic potencies in luminescent assays for human NK1 and NK2 receptors, whereas they showed reduced potencies in the STKR-assay [3].
• This luminescent assay has shown considerable potential by providing a rapid, simple and portable means of monitoring multiple water samples for the presence of chlortoluron [4].
• The quality of antioxidants of the major phenols in beers and the quality of beer antioxidants were measured by (1) dose-response inhibition of lower density lipoprotein oxidation and (2) concentration of phenols in the beers at which 50% of the peroxide was destroyed in a luminescent assay for antioxidant activity [5].

Associations of Luminescent Measurements with chemical compounds

• Thiols enhance the sensitivity of luminescent assays for non-cross-linked and covalently cross-linked aminophthalhydrazides [6].
• The antioxidant activity of alcohol was measured by: (i) use of a luminescent assay developed in our laboratory, confirmed as appropriate; (ii) electron spin resonance (ESR) spin-trapping; and (iii) copper-catalysed oxidation of LDL and VLDL from hamsters fed 6% ethanol in their drinking water [7].
• Chimeric receptors as a tool for luminescent measurement of biological activities of steroid hormones [8].

Gene context of Luminescent Measurements

• Moreover, the level of uptake was highly correlated to luminescent measurements of beta-galactosidase activity ( r(2)=0.878; P<0.0001) [9].
