A simple high-content cell cycle assay reveals frequent discrepancies between cell number and ATP and MTS proliferation assays.

In order to efficiently characterize both antiproliferative potency and mechanism of action of small molecules targeting the cell cycle, we developed a high-throughput image-based assay to determine cell number and cell cycle phase distribution. Using this we profiled the effects of experimental and...
