Abstract: A method for quantifying fluorescent puncta comprising acquiring at least one first intensity distribution comprising fluorescence intensity values from a plurality of first fluorescent puncta; acquiring at least one second intensity distribution comprising fluorescence intensity values from a plurality of second fluorescent puncta, wherein each second fluorescent puncta has a determined number of fluorescent emitters; determining the relationship between the first and second intensity distributions; and fitting the second intensity distribution to the first intensity distribution to provide a count and distribution of the number of fluorescent emitters within the first fluorescent puncta.

Abstract: The present invention is related to oxindole derivatives, compositions containing the same, and methods of use and manufacture of the same. Such compounds generally are useful pharmacologically as agents in those disease states alleviated by the alteration of mitogen activated signaling pathways in general, and in particular in the inhibition or antagonism of protein kinases, which pathologically involve aberrant cellular proliferation. Such disease states include tumor growth, restenosis, atherosclerosis, pain and thrombosis. In particular, the present invention relates to a series of substituted oxindole compounds, which exhibit Trk family protein tyrosine kinase inhibition, and which are useful in cancer therapy and chronic pain indications.
