Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Breast Cancer Cell Viability Assay
Description:  MCF-7 cells were adjusted to a concentration of 40,000 cells per mL in RPMI containing 10% FBS and 20 mM HEPES. 16 microliters of the cell suspension (640 cells) was added to each well of a 384 well plate, and the cells were incubated overnight to allow the cells to adhere. The following day a 10 point, serial 1:5 dilution of each compound was added to the cells in 16 μL at a final concentration ranging from 10-0.000005 μM. After 5 days' compound exposure, 16 μL of CellTiter-GLo (Promega, Madison Wis.) was added to the cells, and the relative luminescence units (RLUs) of each well were determined. CellTiter-Glo added to 32 μL of medium without cells was used to obtain a background value. The Percent viability of each sample was determined as follows: (RLU sample−RLU background/RLU untreated cells−RLU background)×100=% viability. % Viability relative to Fulvestrant is calculated as follows: 100−{100*[(100−% viability of Example)/(100−% viability of Fulvestrant)]}.
