indulyl- beta-D-galactepyranoside which produces an indigo blue precipitate when reactedupon by beta-galactosidase may be used with one of the novel compounds 6-chloroindolyl- beta-Dghicuronide, 4,6-dichloroindolyl- beta-Dglucuronide, 6,7-dichloroindolyl- beta-Dghicuronide, and 4,6,7-trichloroindolyl- beta-Dglucuronide, which produce mauve or magenta precipitates when reacted upon by betaglucuronidase. The beta-glucuronidase substrate 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl- beta-D-ghicuronide, which produces an indigo blue precipitate when reacted upon by beta-glucuronidase may be used with one of the novel compounds 6-chloroindolylbeta-D-galactoside, 4,6-dichloroindolyl- beta-Dgalactoside, 6,7-dichloroindolyl- beta-Dgalactoside, and 4,6,7-txichloroindolyl- beta-Dgalactoside which produce mauve or magenta precipitates when reacted upon by betagalactosidase.
Apparatus for growing cells or tissue in vitro and for supporting, positioning and/or centering cell culture inserts that are used in such procedures. The apparatus comprises a body with a plurality of wells wherein a cell culture insert may be supported and centered without interfering with the growing of tissue culture in vitro.

INOSINIC ACID DEHYDROGENASE ASSAY Markovic Olivera T; Markovic Neuad; Roberts Jay; Puglia Charles; Markovic Svetomir N Philadelphia, PA, UNITED STATES Assigned to The Medical College of Pennsylvania A cyto(histo)chemical technique for determining inosine 5'-monophc*phate dehydrogenase (IMPD) presence and concentration within one or more morphologically classified or classifiable cells taken from an animal or a human subject. Cell monolayers are prepared, fixed and stained according to a specified procedure in which inosine 5'-monophosphate (as enzyme substrate), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), phenazine methosulfate (PMS) and nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) as a diazonium salt together produce a granular, dark blue deposit of formazan generally proportional to the IMPD activity in the cell. Cells are evaluated either visually or by image analysis, with a computerized image analyzer or other imaging system, according to accepted biostatistical methods and standards.
