Abstract:
Cultures of human and mammalian cells presenting 4 types of differentiation (normal human fibroblasts and myoblasts, human and Syrian hamster hepatoma cells, and mouse/mouse hybridoma cells) were used in a panel biotest system. This system allowed to evaluate the cytotoxic and stimulatory effect of bioactive compounds by determining the dose-effect relationships and some quantitative parameters including LD(50). Examination of some biolactive compounds of different nature (sangviritrin, escin, deltostim, cycloheximide, dexamethasone) confirmed high efficacy of this biotest system.
