Cell Proliferation

Measurement of cell proliferation is necessary for testing the effects of pharmacological agents or growth factors, assessing cytotoxicity or investigating circumstances of cell activation. In a cell proliferation assay, the increase in number of cells or change in the proportion of cells that is dividing is assessed.
