  • Publication number: 20060134602
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system for measuring the cytotoxicity of a test compound against quiescent cells. The inventive methods and reagents may also be used to determine whether a compound, such as a chemotherapeutic agent, will have undesired toxicity toward normal tissues, which generally do not include a significant number of cells that are proliferating. Thus, the assay of the invention can be used to identify in vitro compounds that demonstrate a good therapeutic index, thus, accelerating the development of drugs that are clinically useful.
