Provides several approaches to flow cytometry data analysis. Frequency determinations based on analysis of single-parameter fluorescence histograms and dual-parameter contour plots are presented. Steps are described for calculating values for signal-to-noise ratios when logarithmic amplification is used for data collection. - [Read Analysis of Flow Cytometry Data Protocol]
Cell-based assays are important tools for contemporary biology and drug discovery because of their predictive potential for in vivo applications.This assay gives ratiometric, inversely proportional values of viability and cytotoxicity (Figure 4.15) that are useful for normalizing data to cell number. Also, this reagent is compatible with additional fluorescent and luminescent chemistries. - [Read Determining Number of Live and Dead Cells in Cell Population: Cytotoxicity Assay Protocol]
The results of cytotoxicity tests in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes and in MDBK and McCoy cells can be used to predict the in vivo 4-wk maximum tolerated dose in rats and dogs. A correlation between in vitro cytotoxicity, as measured in this system, and LD50 values in rats and mice has also been established. - [Read In Vitro Prediction of the Maximum Tolerated Dose Protocol]
The MTT Cell Proliferation Assay measures the cell proliferation rate and conversely, when metabolic events lead to apoptosis or necrosis, the reduction in cell viability. The number of assay steps has been minimized as much as possible to expedite sample processing. The MTT Reagent yields low background absorbance values in the absence of cells. Includes: Determining optimal cell counts, performing an assay, data interpretations and troubleshooting. - [Read MTT Cell Proliferation Assay Protocol]
