Prior to testing, serum samples, which were obtained from endotoxin-challenged cattle, were diluted 1:20 in endotoxin-free water and heated to 80°C for 10 min. The performance of the PTS^ was not significantly different from that of the traditional LAL-based assays. The results using PTS^ correlated with those using KT (r^2=0.963, P<0.001) or KC assays (r^2=0.982, P<0.001). Based on these findings, the PTS^ could be applied as a simplified system to assess endotoxin activity in bovine serum.}, pages = {977--979}, title = {Detecting endotoxin activity in bovine serum using an automated testing system}, volume = {77}, year = {2015} }
