Popis: | Objective Determine the interchangeability of various methods utilized for counting colonies in clonogenic assays. Methods Clonogenic assays of 2 head and neck cancer cell lines were counted through 4 different counting modalities: Manual counting pen, via microscope, 1 publicly available automated algorithm, and a semiautomated algorithm presented by the authors. Each method counted individual wells (N = 24). Pen and microscopic counts were performed by 2 observers. Parameters included both low-growth (150 colonies/well) cell lines. Correlational and Bland–Altman analyses were performed using SPSS software. Results Interobserver manual pen count correlation R 2 value in both growth conditions was 0.902; controlling for only low-growth conditions decreased R 2 to 0.660. Correlation of microscopic versus pen counts R 2 values for observers 1 and 2 were 0.955 and 0.775, respectively. Comparing techniques, Bland–Altman revealed potential bias with respect to the magnitude of measurement ( P |
