Abstract

The counting of tumoral colonies growing in semisolid media must be achieved in human tumour clonogenic assays. An image analyser can be advantageously used to overcome the limit of the eye when performing this task. Colonies growing from human cancer cell lines were analysed. Quantitative results on the cytotoxic effect of chemotherapeutic agents were obtained that could not be reached by means of the eye.
