Development of HCA assays for neurotoxicity • Assays for neurite outgrowth in neurons • Assays for detecting toxicity in astrocytes • Assays for detecting synaptogenesis in neurons • Assays for detecting toxicity in co-cultures of astrocytes and neurons

Assays for detecting toxicity in astrocytes Primary rat hippocampal astrocytes Cells treated with two different toxins, paclitaxel and nocodazole Both toxins cause increased expression of GFAP as the levels of toxin rise. Different toxins cause different effects on the expression of GFAP 0.4% DMSO CONTROL (4hr) 1µM Paclitaxel TOXIN (4hr)
