African-centered drug treatment: an alternative conceptual paradigm for drug counseling with African-American clients.

An alternative conceptual framework is presented for understanding the culturally normative behavior of African-Americans in drug abuse treatment and recovery, based on an appreciation of core African-centered beliefs. Key ontological and epistemological assumptions of traditional clinical and counseling interventions are presented that highlight the differences between traditional goals and theories and the proposed alternative conceptual system and treatment strategies. Implications for African-centered treatment and future research on the course of addiction and recovery among African-Americans are discussed.

Adaptation of the MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay for the determination of virus-neutralizing antibodies using the virus-neutralization assay.

The tetrazolium salt MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide] has been widely used for bioassays. Herein is described the use of the MTT dye with a virus-neutralization (VN) assay to titer infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV)-neutralizing antibodies. A standard VN assay using chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEFs) and IBDV was used for the assessment of IBDV-neutralizing antibodies. The percent of CEF killing due to IBDV was quantitated using MTT, and the absorbance (A) data were used to calculate the VN antibody titer. This method of calculation offers the expression of VN titer in terms of units of activity per unit of volume.
