AhR Gene Expression Cell Bioassay Systems
Advantages
• Sensitive, relatively rapid and easy to carry out• Amenable to high throughput analysis• Relatively inexpensive compared to instrumental analysis• A significant amount of validation data is available for the CALUX bioassay • Overestimate TCDD equivalents in environmental samples (new dioxin-like HAHs?)
Disadvantages/Limitations
• Experience in cell culture techniques necessary• Proper sample cleanup methods needed • Instrumentation - Luminescent microplate readers, cell culture facilities• Overestimate TCDD equivalents in environmental samples (false positives?)• Extracts containing chemicals that are directly toxic to cells can not be analyzed• Synergistic/antagonistic effects (over/underestimate potency)
51
Bioassay Systems - Further Considerations • Calculation of relative biological potency of an unknown sample extract
• Promiscuous ligand binding by the AhR requires appropriate extraction and chemical clean-up methods for each bioassay (in vitro assays require more extensive clean-up methodologies)
• Discrepancy between bioassay and instrumental analysis needs to be resolved a. false positives or other AhR-active HAHs b. Use of bioassay-specific REPs for TEQ estimates from instrumental analysis
• Toxic Equivalency Factors (TEFs) versus Relative Potency (REPs) Values TEQs (instrumental) versus Bioassay-TEQs
• Need method(s) to correct for extraction and clean-up efficiency and recovery since samples can’t simply be spike with AhR-active HAHs like 2,3,7,8-TCDD
• Establish quality control criteria for bioassay methodologies
• Require full validation studies (versus instrumental analysis) for different matrices

Application and Utilization of Bioanalytical Methods for Dioxin Analysis
• Detection, quantitation and chemical identification of dioxin-like chemicals in a variety of matrices including:
• Environmental samples (soil, water, air)• Biological (blood, milk, tissues)• Food and feed• Commercial and consumer products
• Determination of the effectiveness of bioremediation, biodegradation and contamination clean-up procedures for dioxin-like chemicals.
• Identification and characterization of other classes of dioxin-like chemicals.
