Analysis of a Chromium Release Assay - Prism or SPSS (May/31/2011 )

Hi,

I would like to analyze data from a chromium release assay (Effector:Target ratio on X-axis and lysis on Y-axis), but I am stuck on how to analyze the data (I have Prism and SPSS). I could of course analyze en E:T point, but I would like to analyze each line against another line.

Anyone who have had any experience with this?

Best Regards, Jonas

Usually people analyze simply by running t-test for each E:T ratio. If you wish to analyze whole curves against each other, then you should fit with some well-known curve (so you can interpret its parameters) and then compare the parameters. You can fit linear curves in prism and compare slope/intercept (prism outputs confidence intervals)

Hi,

I talked to a statistician and he suggested doing an Area Under the Curve analysis, so I think I will try that.

Thanks, Jonas
