Journal Article

Feasibility of Drug Screening with Panels of Human Tumor Cell Lines Using a Microculture Tetrazolium Assay

TL;DR: Since the microculture tetrazolium assay provides sensitive and reproducible indices of growth as well as drug sensitivity in individual cell lines over the course of multiple passages and several months' cultivation, it appears suitable for initial-stage in vitro drug screening.
Journal ArticleDOI

Feasibility of a High-Flux Anticancer Drug Screen Using a Diverse Panel of Cultured Human Tumor Cell Lines

TL;DR: A pilot-scale, in vitro, anticancer drug screen utilizing a panel of 60 human tumor cell lines organized into subpanels representing leukemia, melanoma, and cancers of the lung, colon, kidney, ovary, and central nervous system is described.
Journal Article

Evaluation of a Soluble Tetrazolium/Formazan Assay for Cell Growth and Drug Sensitivity in Culture Using Human and Other Tumor Cell Lines

TL;DR: The new XTT reagent provides for a simplified, in vitro cell growth assay with possible applicability to a variety of problems in cellular pharmacology and biology, but still shares many of the limitations and potential pitfalls of MTT or other tetrazolium-based assays.
Journal ArticleDOI

The NCI60 human tumour cell line anticancer drug screen

TL;DR: The development, use and productivity of the NCI60 screen are reviewed, highlighting several outcomes that have contributed to advances in cancer chemotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of In Vitro Anticancer-Drug-Screening Data Generated With a Tetrazolium Assay Versus a Protein Assay Against a Diverse Panel of Human Tumor Cell Lines

TL;DR: A detailed comparison of data generated by each type of assay was undertaken, and results indicate that under the experimental conditions used and within the limits of the data analyses, the assays perform similarly.
