  • Title: Comparison of flow cytometric analysis and [3H]thymidine incorporation for measurement of the effects of drug toxicity on lymphocyte stimulation.
    Author: Marmer DJ, Steele RW.
    Journal: Antimicrob Agents Chemother; 1983 Oct; 24(4):605-8. PubMed ID: 6651283.
    Abstract:
    Human mononuclear cells were exposed to three antiviral agents, stimulated with phytohemagglutinin, and assayed for DNA synthesis with [3H]thymidine uptake and flow cytometric analysis. Cytosine-arabinoside demonstrated inhibition of blastogenic reactivity by both [3H]thymidine uptake and flow cytometric analysis, whereas acyclovir showed no significant suppression. In contrast, (E)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine, a thymidine analog, demonstrated a lack of correlation between the two methods. The competitive inhibition of some compounds with [3H]thymidine incorporation necessitates the use of other methods to measure DNA synthesis.
