The aim of this study was to optimize the experimental conditions of the MTT assay for primary cultures of human brain tumors. This assay is based on the mitochondrial reduction of MTT-(3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) salt to formazan crystals by living cells. Formazan c

In this study we assessed the influence of patient- and drug-specific parameters in the short-term MTT-chemosensitivity assay in 150 primary cell cultures derived from human brain tumors. In 45 patients the MTT assay was directly compared with the CFA (Colony Forming Assay). Resistance was 10-20% hi
To improve clinical interpretation and use of in vitro clonogenic assay results, the authors reviewed their experience to date with chemosensitivity testing of over 1500 solid tumors. All clonogenic assays were performed using a double-layer-soft-agar system with continuous exposure of cells to one
