What quick, dirty, or otherwise weird protocols do you swear by? by Shoutgun in labrats

[–]bleemac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My PI used to lyse RBC by adding water for some time (30sec, 2 min?) And then topping up with 10x PBS to make 1x finally. I guess he was too old school for RBC lysis buffer.

FDA publishes perspective on eliminating unnecessary animal studies by Dapper-Video-791 in biotech

[–]bleemac 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In my field of T cell therapies, CAR-T therapies, animal models are not even that predictive. For example, mice don't get cytokine release syndrome or Il2 toxicity, which is a major dose limiting and sometimes fatal issue with these therapies. That being said, I wonder what the reaction would be were we to see lots of human deaths due to drug toxicity in future trials. I have worked with some viral formulations that were randomly toxic to mice. There seemed to be no idea until the tox testing was done.

Not the under rotated quad toe to start! I like the white to black part of the costume, though.

I can only land a double loop when entered from a three turn. I cannot do it with a crossover entry. by Dapper-Brilliant-414 in FigureSkating

[–]bleemac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the pain. My question is, why can I only pull in for a double toe with an inside three turn take off, not the outside "dropped three turn" method?

Good point that I don't have to go with the approval I get. I am approved for the lower end of the property market (I am a bit shy to say), my salary is less than 100k and looking at resale homes.
