The dose levels are prepared by dilution in a diluent that is inert in respect of the response. The experimental units can for example be cell-cultures, tissues, organs or living animals. The biological response may be quantal (e.g. positive/negative) or quantitative (e.g. growth). The goal is to relate the response to the dose, usually by interpolation techniques, and in many cases to express the potency/activity of the test preparation(s) relative to a standard of known potency/activity. Dilution assays can be direct or indirect. In a direct dilution assay the amount of dose needed to produce a specific (fixed) response is measured, so that the dose is a stochastic variable defining the tolerance distribution. Conversely, in an indirect dilution assay the dose levels are administered at fixed dose levels, so that the response is a stochastic variable. ==Statistical models== For a mathematical definition of a dilution assay an observation space $U$ is defined and a function $f:U\backslash rightarrow\backslash mathbb$ so that the responses $u\backslash in\; U$ are mapped to the set of real numbers. It is now assumed that a function $F$ exists which relates the dose $z\backslash in[0,\backslash infty)$ to the response :$f(u)=F(z)+e$ in which $e$ is an error term with expectation 0. $F$ is usually assumed to be continuous and monotone. In situations where a standard preparation is included it is furthermore assumed that the test preparation $T$ behaves like a dilution (or concentration) of the standard $S$ :$F\_(z)=F\_(\backslash rho\; z)$, for all $z$ where $\backslash rho>0$ is the relative potency of $T$. This is the fundamental assumption of similarity of dose-response curves which is necessary for a meaningful and unambiguous definition of the relative potency. In many cases it is convenient to apply a power transformation $x=z^$ with $\backslash lambda>0$ or a logarithmic transformation $x=\backslash log\; (z)$. The latter can be shown to be a limit case of $\backslash lambda\backslash downarrow0$ so if $\backslash lambda=0$ is written for the log transformation the above equation can be redefined as :$F\_(x)=F\_(\backslash rho^x)$, for all $x$. Estimates $\backslash hat\; F$ of $F$ are usually restricted to be member of a well-defined parametric family of functions, for example the family of linear functions characterized by an intercept and a slope. Statistical techniques such as optimization by Maximum Likelihood can be used to calculate estimates of the parameters. Of notable importance in this respect is the theory of Generalized Linear Models with which a wide range of dilution assays can be modelled. Estimates of $F$ may describe $F$ satisfactorily over the range of doses tested, but they do not necessarily have to describe $F$ beyond that range. However, this does not mean that dissimilar curves can be restricted to an interval where they happen to be similar. In practice, $F$ itself is rarely of interest. More of interest is an estimate of $\backslash rho$ or an estimate of the dose that induces a specific response. These estimates involve taking ratios of statistically dependent parameter estimates. Fieller's theorem can be used to compute confidence intervals of these ratios. Some special cases deserve particular mention because of their widespread use: If $F$ is linear and $\backslash lambda>0$ this is known as a slope-ratio model. If $F$ is linear and $\backslash lambda=0$ this is known as a parallel line model. Another commonly applied model is the probit model where $F$ is the cumulative normal distribution function, $\backslash lambda=0$ and $e$ follows a binomial distribution. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dilution assay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
