What is the advantage of using the interpolation method in graded response assays?
What is the advantage of using the interpolation method in graded response assays?
- Less time-consuming and reliable compared to other bioassay methods
- Involves no statistical data and many calculations (correct)
- Requires multiple concentrations in the curve
- Highly dependent on the dose range
How is the sensitivity of tissue first determined in bioassays?
How is the sensitivity of tissue first determined in bioassays?
- By plotting a dose-response curve with a known agonist (correct)
- By extending the dose range to include more data points
- By diluting the sample after the reaction is read
- By calculating the unknown concentrations directly
What should be done if the drug response does not fall within the dose range in bioassays?
