Comparison of four different colorimetric and fluorometric cytotoxicity assays in a zebrafish liver cell line

Table 1 10% and 50% effective concentrations (EC) for cytotoxicity in ZFL cells.

Effective concentrations (EC) causing 10 or 50% loss of cell viability were determined from a four parameter logistic equation fitted to the experimental data for three individual experiments. EC values shown in the table are mean values from three experiments ± standard deviation. No EC values could be determined for BaP since dose-response curves were incomplete (highest concentrations which were already above aqueous solubility caused 37% loss in cell viability at most). EC values were not significantly different from each other (One way ANOVA, Tukey's test, p < 0.05).
