To develop and validate a straightforward in vitro technique for generating cell cultures with specified growth fractions ranging from 0% to 100% to evaluate anticancer drug sensitivity.
Mixed defined quantities of exponentially growing and plateau-phase Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells in varying proportions to achieve target growth fractions.
Allowed mixed cell populations to adhere to culture flask surfaces over a 1-hour incubation period.
Treated the adhered cell cultures with nitrosourea compounds, specifically CCNU and MeCCNU, to assess survival response.
Cells attached to culture flask surfaces within 1 hour post-mixing across all established growth fraction ratios.
Exposure to CCNU and MeCCNU revealed differential survival sensitivities that varied directly in relation to the initial growth fraction of the cell population.
