โœฆ Synopsis

The MTT assay reported by Mosmann is a rapid and convenient colorimetric assay for cellular growth and survival in vitro. In this paper, the MTT assay was modified as a chemosensitivity test, and its potential was investigated. Using 10 human tumor xenografts in athymic nude mice, the predictability of in vitro antitumor effects of drugs using the MTT assay was compared with that using the clonogenic assay. The MTT assay showed excellent reproducibility, and the predictable rate in this assay was 86.7%, with 100% true-positive and 77.8% true-negative rates, almost equivalent to the 90.0% predictable rate of the clonogenic assay. This method also has several advantages with respect to rapidity, quantitation, management of many samples, and cell number required for the assay. Application of this assay to chemosensitivity testing seems to be valuable and useful.

## BACKGROUND. Retinoblastoma is frequently treated with chemotherapy to facilitate intraocular therapy, as well as to diminish or delay radiotherapy in invasive disease. It is also used more extensively in patients with dissemination to the central nervous system and/or the bone marrow. Once the

Background and Objectives: Assessment of chemosensitivity in patients with osteosarcoma may help identify those with resistance to chemotherapy. In this study, we investigated the clinical value of the doxorubicin binding assay in its ability to identify patients with drug resistance. Methods: We te
