23T, 239T, Calu6 and H460 cells line 方法 Proliferation assays MTT Assay (Trevigen, Gaithersburg, MD) was used to measure cell proliferation. Drug combinations were evaluated using CalcuSyn (BIOSOFT, Ferguson, MO) software based on the multiple drug effect equation of Chou-Talalay. Experimental values were imputed into Calcusyn to calculate IC50 and a combination index (CI, a quantitative measure of the synergy (CI < 1), additivity (CI = 1), or antagonism (CI > 1) between drugs).
Log-transformed CI’s are plotted against growth inhibition/effective dose (ED) with corresponding 95 % confidence intervals. Synergism is indicated when the 95 % CI falls below the x-axis (log CI = 0; CI = 1), whereas antagonism is indicated when the 95 % CI falls above the x-axis, at each respective region of the effective dose. 浓度 处理时间 2 days
