Animal studies are necessary to confirm in vitro results before trials in human beings can be considered. One new approach is to enclose human cancer cells in microscopic capsules and grow them in laboratory-bred mice, which are then treated with a test drug.

The pictures with the uniform cells are normal. The ones with spaced out neoplastic cells are infected. When the cells are infected with HIV-I, clusters are formed.

In vitro (tissue culture). Long-term cultured confluent AIDS-KS cells stained with Wright-Gimsa. Note the spindle shape and distribution of the cells in longitudinal fan-like arrays. Credit: Unknown photographer/artist. | Anti-cancer drugs can now be tested on human cancer cell lines in vitro for cytotoxicity and effectiveness without the use of animals. In an assay color changes in the wells show what proportion of cultured cancer cells remain alive after they have been exposed to the test drug. The plates are read by computer, and results are automatically sent to a centralized computer where they are converted into graphic reports. Credit: Bill Branson (photographer). | ||
Pictured is a lab at the Frederick Cancer Research and Development Facility (FCRDF). A technician is seen in a series of pictures performing cell culture work. Noticeable is the yellow glow of ultraviolet light, which maintains the sterile conditions in the lab. These cell cultures are used for in vitro carcinogenesis assays.
