Tests homology

Feasibility is not an issue based on availability of the homologous test article determined to be comparable to the clinical product (e.g., recombinant protein or monoclonal antibody)... 

Homologous test article4 may not be relevant (different pharmacological activity, different physiological regulation, product is otherwise not comparable, e.g., product quality issues)... 

Use of spontaneous recessive lethal strains as testers The usual result of such homology tests is that all spontaneous recessive lethal mutations show homology and give negative trikaryon tests. Occasionally, two or more different spontaneous recessive lethal mutations will be found. It is possible to correct the data in the treated series by using one of each of the different spontaneous recessive lethals as a tester. New trikaryons are made between these testers and the strains carrying recessive lethal mutations in the treated series. These new trikaryons are plated and scored as described previously. 

Theorem 19.16 implies the following homological test for graph colorings. 

Examples of Homology Tests with Different Test Graphs... 

We shall now look at different examples of using homology tests. 

On the other hand, the complex Horn K3, G) is a disjoint union of six isolated points. It follows that ido(Horn (7 3, G)) = Z2 hence the best value of d for T = K3 in Theorem 19.18 is d = —1. Thus the bound given by the homology test using K3 isd+3+1 = 3, which is in fact equal to the chromatic number of G. Again, we refer to Figure 19.5. 

Furthermore, we remark that Horn (G5, G) consists of two disjoint cycles hence the homology test with G5 as a test graph also yields the optimal bound... 

First we consider the homology test with the test graph T = K2- Accordingly, let us analyze the structure of the cell complex Bip(G). Let vi,v2 denote the vertices of Bip (G) that are indexed by [ ai, di ] and [ di, ui ]-Clearly, Bip (G) is obtained from Bip (G ) by attaching two cones, with apexes in vi and V2- The complex Bip G ) is connected, since G is a connected graph with odd cycles. 

Next we consider the test graph T = G5. To see that in this case the homology test yields the optimal bound x(G) > 4 it is enough to verify that Horn (G5, G) is coimected. 

As mentioned above, it follows that the homology test with the test graph T = G5 detects the chromatic number of G correctly. 

Proof. First, we see that Horn (It s, G) = Horn K3, Gi), since G2 is assumed to be triangle-free. This means that the homology test for G with K3 as the test graph gives the same bound as the analogous test for Gi. 

Since these initial complexes are connected, we can conclude that Bip (G) is homotopy equivalent to the wedge of the complexes Bip (Gi), Bip (G2), and 2t- copies of Thus, no matter what the chromatic numbers of the graphs G, Gi, and G2 are, the homology test using K2 as the test graph will give only the bound 3 for x(G). ...

Apply homologous tests for those types (and only those) which arc included in your list of possibilities. Suggestions for this work arc obtained not only from the experimental work in Chapter IX, but also from Chapters III, IV, and V. 

Solubility tests are applied at room temperature (20°-25°). Observations of value may be made b determining solubility behavior in hot solvents but for purposes of classification the results obtained at room temperature are the ones desired. The action of hot acid or alkali will l)e studied subsequently in connection with the homologous tests. 

An homologous test system for gamma interferon was predictive for the clinical effects in humans (Terrel and Green, 1993). Murine interferon alpha was not as predictive for humans with regard to safety, although it was considered useful to examine efficacy (Trown et al., 1986).
