Predict neutropenia and severe anemia at the preclinical drug development stage.

Discovery’s Gentest® Myeloid and Erythroid CFC Assay Services help you predict neutropenia or severe anemia ahead of clinical trials.

These in vitro assays replicate in vivo cell biology conditions. We incubate primary bone marrow cells with your test drugs in a semi-solid, methylcellulose-based medium containing growth factors and count the resulting hematopoietic progenitor-derived colonies. We then provide you with a detailed report, including data on changes to the expected number of cell colonies in your drug’s presence.
