Evaluation of the effect of cell freshness on pyrogen detection using a serum-free monocyte-activation test.

Pyrogens cause shock symptoms when released into the bloodstream. They are classified into two main categories: endotoxins (lipopolysaccharides [LPS]) and non-endotoxin pyrogens. The monocyte activation test (MAT) is an in vitro assay to detect pyrogens in human monocytes. Cells were incubated in th...
