Section7:Introduction to Cell Based Assays

From Assay Guidance Wiki

Cell based assays are a critical part of the flow scheme for discovering new chemical entities. Cell based assays are typically used in the validation of a target. Once the target is validated new chemical entities are screened for activity using numerous assays including cell based assays as primary assays measuring activity against the target of interest or in cell based assays that determine the selectivity of the compound to the specific target.
