    摘要: The present disclosure provides methods for measuring the number of CD4+ OX40+ Foxp3+ lymphocytes in a sample containing cancer cells and lymphocytes obtained from a subject by labeling lymphocytes that show CD4 expression in the sample, then labeling lymphocytes that show OX40 expression in the sample, then labeling lymphocytes that show Foxp3 expression in the sample, then measuring the number of CD4+ OX40+ Foxp3+ lymphocytes in the sample. Further provided are methods for determining the prognosis of a subject, predicting responsiveness of a subject having cancer to an OX40 agonist treatment, and methods for treating or delaying progression of cancer based on the number of CD4+ OX40+ Foxp3+ lymphocytes in a sample.

    摘要: Provided herein are methods of culturing a microorganism. The method includes providing a container comprising one or more microorganisms and medium, wherein the microorganisms and medium form a start volume. The microorganisms and medium are cultured until the culture reaches a threshold indicator, wherein culturing comprises feeding one or more carbon sources to the culture and wherein the culture is at a threshold volume when the threshold indicator is reached. The method also includes harvesting a portion of the threshold volume to leave a residual volume that is 40% or less of the start volume and adding fresh medium to the container in an amount to return the volume of the culture to the start volume.

    摘要: A rapid assay for determining the presence of bacteria in a sample, such as a contaminated food sample, is disclosed. The assay comprises contacting the sample with a bacteria-specific ligand associated with a substrate, wherein bacteria present in the sample bind the ligand; contacting the bound bacteria with a detection agent; detecting the presence of bacteria in the sample by measuring the quantity of detection agent associated with the sample.

    摘要: Provided is a method for simply and accurately counting the number of microorganisms in an analyte containing carbonate ion or bicarbonate ion in a dialysis fluid or the like. A counting method for the number of microorganisms includes: a step of adding the analyte to a composition for preparing a medium for counting the number of microorganisms, and containing (a) polyacrylic acid and/or a salt thereof, (b) hydroxide of alkaline earth metal and (c) a nutritional ingredient, and mixing the resulting mixture; a step of culturing microorganisms contained in the analyte; and a step of counting the number of colonies of the microorganisms.

    摘要: A system and method for monitoring or detecting a level of biofilm growth in a fluid system and controlling operating parameters of the fluid system based a measured level of growth. The monitoring system and method comprises a dye injection system for periodically injecting dye into a portion of fluid from the fluid system, passing the portion of fluid though a narrow lumen tube to achieve laminar flow and using a light source and optical sensor to detect a transmission or emission indicating a level of biofilm growth in the tube corresponding to a level of growth on components in the fluid system. Information based upon the measurements or calculations made by the monitoring system may be used to manually or automatically alter various operating parameters to control the fluid system and aid in maintaining stable operation of the fluid system within preferred specifications.
