HTS384 NCI60: The Next Phase of the NCI60 Screen.

ABSTRACT: The NCI60 human tumor cell line screen has been in operation as a service to the cancer research community for more than 30 years. The screen operated with 96-well plates, a 2-day exposure period to test agents, and following cell fixation, a visible absorbance endpoint by the protein-staining dye sulforhodamine B. In this study, we describe the next phase of this important cancer research tool, the HTS384 NCI60 screen. Although the cell lines remain the same, the updated screen is performed with 384-well plates, a 3-day exposure period to test agents, and a luminescent endpoint to measure cell viability based upon cellular ATP content. In this study, a library of 1,003 FDA-approved and investigational small-molecule anticancer agents was screened by the two NCI60 assays. The datasets were
