Influence of Cytostatics on ATP-Levels of Leukemic Cells

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 165))

Abstract

The use of firefly bioluminescence offers a rapid and specific method to determine the ATP-concentrations in cells (1). Intracellular levels of ATP correlate to the cell viability (2). ATP-measurement has been applied to test the viability of blood cells (3); in tissue and cell culturing the number of viable cells, their physiological activity and cell death can be determined using the biolu-minescence-ATP-assay (4,5).
