Reducing post-bleeding mortality of horseshoe crabs (Limulus polyphemus) used in the biomedical industry
… and performed a preliminary investigation into amebocyte maintenance in vitro. Hemolymph volume of L. polyphemus was estimated over a representative size range of adults. Hemolymph volume expressed as a percentage of wet body weight was 25 ± 2.2% (mean ± S.D.) for males and 25 ± 5.1% for …

Lipopolysaccharide in marine bathing water; a potential real-time biomarker of bacterial contamination and relevance to human health
… total LPS, measured using a Kinetic QCL™ Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) assay, highly correlated with enumerated Escherichia coli and Bacteroides species. Levels of LPS in excess of 50 EU mL-1 were found to equate with water that was unsuitable for bathing under the current European Union …

Endotoxin removal from protein solutions by immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography
… solutions, the effect of protein on Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) test was discussed. Subtraction of protein absorbance from total LAL reaction mixture is a very efficient way. The inhibition of phosphate ion on LAL test was observed. This was circumvented by a proper sample dilution before …

Identifying the signalling pathway of a novel Myostatin Splice Variant (MSV)
… in E. coli. This was confirmed using the Limulus amebocyte lysate assay. Phase separation using Triton-X 114 proved an effective method for the removal of LPS from the MSV preparation. Western blot analysis was performed following the treatment of ovine myoblasts with Mstn and purified MSV. …
