Dose Response Curves

SummaryIn the fibrin plate assay different types of relationships between the dose of applied proteolytic enzyme and the response have been previously reported. This study was undertaken to determine whether a generally valid relationship might exist.Trypsin, chymotrypsin, papain, the plasminogen activator urokinase and all of the microbial proteases investigated, including brinase gave a linear relationship between the logarithm of the enzyme concentration and the diameter of the circular lysed zone. A similar linearity of dose-response curves has frequently been found by investigators who used enzyme plate assays with substrates different from fibrin incorporated in an agar gel. Consequently, it seems that this linearity of dose-response curves is generally valid for the fibrin plate assay as well as for other enzyme plate bioassays.Both human plasmin and porcine tissue activator of plasminogen showed deviations from linearity of semi-logarithmic dose-response curves in the fibrin plate assay.

ABSTRACT A bioassay of thyroid hormone has been developed using Xenopus larvae made hypothyroid by the administration of thiourea. Only tadpoles of uniform developmental rate were used. Thiourea was given just before the metamorphotic climax in concentrations that produced neoteni in an early metamorphotic stage. During maintained thiourea neotoni, 1-thyroxine and 1-triiodothyronine were added as sodium salts to the water for three days and at the end of one week the stage of metamorphosis produced was determined. In this way identical dose-response curves were obtained for the two compounds. No qualitative differences between their effects were noted except that triiodothyronine seemed more toxic than thyroxine in equivalent doses. Triiodothyronine was found to be 7–12 times as active as thyroxine.

Circadian Phase Shift

Dose-response curves for circadian phase shift and melatonin suppression in relation to white or monochromatic nighttime illumination can be scaled to melanopic weighed illumination for normally constricted pupils, which makes them easier to interpret and compare. This is helpful for a practical applications.
