1) A bioassay is a technique used to quantitatively measure the amount or functional activity of a target entity (analyte) using a biological system. It can be used to measure drugs, biochemicals, or organic samples.
2) There are three main types of assays - chemical assays, immunoassays, and bioassays. Bioassays use living biological tissues or organisms to measure pharmacological activity.
3) Bioassays are useful when the chemical structure of an active substance is unknown, it cannot be purified chemically, or its pharmacological effects need to be measured. They provide a sensitive way to standardize biologically derived drugs.
"The determination of the relative strength of a substance (e.g., a drug or hormone or toxicant) by comparing its effect on a test organism with that of a standard preparation." is called bioassay.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. An assay is an investigative (analytic) procedure
in laboratory medicine, pharmacology,
environmental biology, and molecular
biology for qualitatively assessing or
quantitatively measuring the presence or
amount or the functional activity of a target
entity (the analyte) which can be
a drug or biochemical substance or
organic sample
4. Chemical Assay:
It is the study of the separation, identification,
and quantification of the chemical components of natural and
artificial materials.
Immunoassay:
A technique that makes use of the binding between an antigen
and its homologous antibody in order to identify and quantify the
specific antigen or antibody in a sample.
5. Comparative assessment of relative potency of a test compound to a
standard compound on a living or biological tissue.
Quantitative measurement of the amount of active principle or substance in
a pharmaceutical preparation or biological material using a suitable
biological system
Introduced by Paul Ehrlich - biostandardization of Diphtheria antitoxin

8. To compare the test substance with the
International Standard preparation of the same
To find out how much test substance is
required to produce the same biological effect,
as produced by the standard
Activity assayed should be the activity of
interest
8
9. Standard & test sample - similar pharmacological
effects & mode of action
Both should be compared for their established
pharmacological effect using specified technique
Ex: *Ach – contractile response on frog rectus
abdominis muscle
*Histamine – contractile response on guinea
pig ileum
9
10. Problem of biological variation must be
minimized
Experimental conditions - kept constant
Animals - same species, sex and weight
Number of animals - large enough to
minimize error (individual variation)
Isolated preparations - sensitive
10
11. No chemical method has been developed
Chemical assay is too complex /not sensitive enough to
measure (ex: insulin, Ach)
To measure the pharmacological activity of new or
chemically undefined substances
For biological standardization of drugs obtained from
natural sources as these cannot be obtained in pure form.
Eg:
Oxytocin,Vasopressin,Insulin,Heparin..
11
12. To compare the strength of a drug obtained
from various sources due to different
compositions
Chemicals with similar structure, but different
biological activity
Chemical structure of the active principle is
unknown
Chemical structure known; cannot be actively
purified. Eg: Peptide hormones
12
13. Sensitivity
Specificity
Repeatability
Reproducibility
Precision
Accuracy
Stability – tissue has to stay “bioassay-
fit
13
16. Qualitative bioassay
Is used for assessing the physical effects of a substance that
may not be quantified, such as abnormal development or
deformity.
Eg: Arnold Adolph Berthold's famous experiment on castrated
chickens. This analysis found that by removing the testes of a
chicken, it would not develop into a rooster because the
endocrine signals necessary for this process were not available.
Quantitative bioassays
involve estimation of concentration/potency of a substance by
measurement of the biological response it produces. These
bioassays are typically analyzed using the methods of
biostatistics
17. 1.Direct end point assay (DEPA)
2.Quantal assay (all or none assay)
3.Graded assay :
a) Bracketting assay
b) Matching assay
c) Interpolation assay
d) Multiple point assay ( 3-point, 4point, 6-
point, 8-point).
18. Principle: is to measure direct response of dose of standard and
test preparation. The threshold dose required for response is
determined for each experimental unit.
Ratio between these doses estimates the potency of the test
preparation relative to the standard.
Concentration of test= TDS/TDT×CSD
Where, TDS= Threshold dose of standard
TDT= Threshold dose of test
CSD= Concentration of standard drug
Threshold dose of standard = Total period of infusion × rate
of drug administration
19. Advantage:
Drug effects appear rapidly and are easily recognised
Drug effect is directly proportional to drug dose
Rapid end-point detection.
Disadvantages:
Only toxicity study or high dose study is possible
Dose ranging study cannot be done
20. Quantal response – the unknown is compared with the standard with
respect to potency which produces the quantal affect, i.e change is easily
recognised sign or often death.
In a quantal assay there is use of dose response relationship.
quantal response to a drug is obtained and percentage of positive
response at each dose is calculated.
The response in quantal assay is varying, i.e some responses are
irreversible and hence animal used is once and some responses have no
permanent effect and animal can be used in next experiment
e.g –
Determination of LD50
Hypoglycemic convulsion in mice in the assay of insulin
20
21. Graded response - In these assays, as the dose
increases there is an equivalent rise in response.
The potency of a test agonist is determined by
comparing its mean response to standard mean
response.
This process is also known as “analytical dilution
assay”
GRA is the simplest way of determining potency of a
test drug because it does not require statistical
analysis
21
25. Used when test sample is too small.
Comparison of potency between unknown and standard drug is done
by trial and error method.
Response is matched at only one dose
Does not need dose respone curve of test compound
It require most sensitive tissue
Concentration of test= (Dose of standard/ Dose of test)× conc. Of standard
Disadvantage:
Experimental error is not excluded out
There is no sign of parallelism as it lack dose response relationship.
26. Used when test sample is too small.
Single or few responses is taken by using any test drug
concentration.
This response is bracketed between two responses one
higher and one lower of the standard drug.
The strength of the unknown can be found by simple
interpolation of this bracketted response on dose axis
31. A log dose-response curve is plotted with the standard,
Single or few responses of test drug are plotted.
The dose of test drug which comes at the linear log dose-
response is interpolated from the dose respone plot
31
33. Sensitivity of tissue is 1st determined by prior
plotting of a conc-response curve with known
agonist
Dose can be plotted even if it varies over
thousand fold range
Error is normally distributed
34. Sensitivity of tissue changes with time
Timing of doses not taken into account
Variation in mode of application of drugs
35. Responses are repeated several times and the
mean of each is taken
Chances of error are minimized
3 point method - 2 doses of std+1 dose of test
4 point method - 2 doses of std+2 doses of test
6 point method - 3 doses of std+3 doses of test
Latin square method of randomization to avoid
any bias
35
