To evaluate the applicability of amebocyte lysate (LAL) assay for endotoxin determination in lipid compounding liposomal nanoformulations. Spiked cholesterol, hydrogenated soy phosphatidylcholine and 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[amino(polyethylene glycol)-2000] (DSPE-PEG 2000) samples with endotoxins, simulating contaminated samples or in-process contamination were analyzed by chromogenic LAL assay. Recovery of spiked endotoxins was achieved from DSPE-PEG 2000 suspended in water, whereas recovery was not achieved from spiked cholesterol and hydrogenated soy phosphatidylcholine suspended in methanol, and from multilamellar vesicles.

Saccades are rapid eye movements that are used by all species with good vision. In this study, we set out to characterize the complete repertoire of larval zebrafish horizontal saccades to gain insight into their contributions to visually guided behavior and underlying neural control. We identified five saccade types, defined by systematic differences in kinematics and binocular coordination, which were differentially expressed across a variety of behavioral contexts.
