Notes: The CellTiter 96^® AQueous Non-Radioactive Cell Proliferation Assay (MTS) was used to perform IL-6 bioassays using the B9 cell line. (1715)

Notes: The CellTiter 96^® AQueous Non-Radioactive Cell Proliferation Assay (MTS) was used to do IL-6 bioassays in this chapter. The author references Promega technical bulletin number 169 and shows a figure comparing MTS to tritiated thymidine incorporation. (2234)

Notes: The authors demonstrate that MTS measurements can be used to determine number of parasites. Results using the MTS method were confirmed by radioactive thymidine uptake and cell counting. They concluded the MTS method (CellTiter 96^® AQ_ueous Non-Radioactive Cell Proliferation Assay) was simple, fast, highly reproducible, and suitable for drug screening, identification of drug resistant isolates and growth kinetics studies.

Notes: The CellTiter 96® AQueous Non-Radioactive Cell Proliferation Assay and ³H-thymidine incorporation were used to measure the effect of introducing three E7 proteins by osmotic shock on the metabolic activities of C127 mouse fibroblast cells. The degrees of change among the three E7 proteins were similar confirming that the CellTiter 96® AQueous Assay could be used to replace ³H-thymidine incorporation in this system. (1729)

Notes: The CellTiter 96^® AQ_ueous Non-Radioactive Cell Proliferation Assay was used to test the effects of CNTF on NBFL human neuroblastoma cells. The study reports that while gene expression is altered, no alteration in cell number or morphology were detectable. (1531)

Notes: MTT and MTS/PMS assays were used to measure cytotoxicity of Fusarium toxins on BHK-21, baby hamster kidney cells. The inherent disadvantage of the MTT assay (formation of insoluble formazan) was overcome by using MTS and measuring the water soluble formazan directly in the culture media. The replacement of MTT by MTS substantially reduced the number of sample processing steps and the length of time required to complete the cytotoxicity assay. (1701)

Notes: This abstract describes the characterization of the MTS proliferation assay and makes a comparison to MTT and XTT tetrazolium compounds. This is the reference to a poster Promega presented at the American Society for Cell Biology and is available as Promega literature part number RP006. (2086)
