Case Studies from the Cytotoxic Drug Development Application Note
Explore practical applications of Nanolive’s LIVE Cytotoxicity Assay through detailed case studies showcasing its effectiveness in detecting drug selectivity, screening cytotoxic drugs, and capturing drug resistance.
Case Study 1: Detecting selective and non-selective killing of cells in co-culture
Evaluate the selective cytotoxicity of different drugs on a co-culture of cancer and non-cancer cells. The assay quantifies the type and kinetics of cell death label-free, revealing selective and off-target effects crucial for biologically relevant drug development.
Case study 2: Drug screening in a 96-well plate
Investigate the phenotypic effects of multiple cytotoxic drugs in parallel, without the bias of fluorescent markers. The label-free assay’s sensitivity allows for precise characterization of cell death types and kinetics, demonstrating its potential for characterizing drug mechanism of action and quantifying dose-response.
Case Study 3: Capturing drug resistance
Examine the heterogeneous response of a cell culture to a cytotoxic drug. The assay identifies treatment-resistant subpopulations, providing insights into potential resistance mechanisms and informing better therapeutic strategies.
