Validation Of Cell Based Assays
Duration : 60 Minutes
This course covers the aspects of using eukaryotic cell culture as an assay system. Examples of the types of assays of a sample in a cell based assay include the effect on proliferation, differentiated function and toxicity. Cell based assays are being used by the pharmaceutical industry for high throughput screening of potential drug candidates. In addition, in vitro assays with eukaryotic cells are being used by the medical device industry for lot release testing of their products. Cell based assays have the advantage over animal based assays in that the former are lower cost and require less time to complete. With these advantages, cell based assays are appropriate as the first level of testing before testing in animals. In addition, the opinion exists that there needs to be a reduction in animal biomedical testing and in vitro cell based assay systems are one way to achieve this.
This course will help the attendee understand the uses of in vitro testing with eukaryotic cell based systems, the parameters to be considered in the development of a cell based assay and the validation of cell based assays.
