The affinity of cells to hexadecane was used as a measure of cell surface hydrophobicity.
Average user throughput, T H avg, is used as a measure of cell capacity, while cell-edge user throughput, T H ce, is used as a measure of cell coverage.
The team then determined skin redness--a measure of cell damage--at various intervals after the exposure.
The WST-1 assay, a measure of cell viability based on the reduction of a tetrazolium compound to a soluble derivative was used [36].
The numbers of green colonies formed 14 days later on agar plates were used as a measure of cell proliferation ability.
To quantify the turbidity of liquid cultures was used optical density (OD) measured at 600 nm, which was used as a corresponding measure of cell density.
The ability of cells to reduce MTT gives an indication of its integrity and metabolic activity, which in turn may be interpreted as a measure of cell viability.
The therapeutic index (a measure of cell selectivity) of FK-13-a1 and FK-13-a7 was 6.3- and 2.3-fold that of parental LL-37, respectively.
Moreover, a quantitative measure of cell adhesion demonstrated that tunicamycin pretreatment resulted in a fivefold increase in attachment of cells to the substratum (77% versus 16%).
Progression through mitosis has been used as a measure of cell health [68].
The sub-G1 fraction was quantified as a measure of cell death.
