What does BF mean in BRITISH MEDICINE

What Does BF Stand For?

BF stands for Blastogenic Factor, a chemical compound which stimulates cell mitosis or multiplication when applied to tissue culture samples. It is also known as fission factor, blastogenin or tritium factor. It was first discovered by Hans Wechsler and his colleagues at the Swiss Institute of Technology back in 1937.

What are The Uses of BF?

The uses of BF have primarily been within laboratory medicine, where it is used to help diagnose various illnesses including cancer and neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s disease. It is also used to test the effectiveness of treatments that may be effective against certain illnesses such as chemotherapy regimens for cancer patients or hormonal treatments for reproductive health issues. Laboratory testing with BF helps provide more accurate diagnoses for many important conditions.

Examples of Applications

One example of a use of BF is through cytometry testing, which involves measuring the amount of intercellular substances present within tissue cultures after applying different concentrations of BF to them over time. This allows researchers to identify any changes that occur within cells over time and if those changes could potentially be linked with certain ailments or diseases diagnosed by the physicians performing these tests. Additionally, another example includes using immunohistochemistry staining protocols to apply BF directly onto blood samples taken from individuals being tested for various disorders (e.g., blood cancers). The presence or absence of specific biomarkers can then be detected within these samples after exposing them to different concentrations (or dilutions) of BF through this immunohistochemical protocol allowing researchers and physicians greater insight into diagnosing certain conditions.
