title: PROLIF: a computer program for calculation and comparison of cultured lymphocyte proliferation.
abstract: A computer program which expedites the quantitation and comparison of cultured lymphocyte proliferative responses is described. The program, entitled PROLIF, is written in VAX BASIC and computes this in vitro activity by collating and reducing radioactive count data obtained from tritiated-thymidine incorporation studies. The report generated by this program includes descriptive statistics such as the mean, percentage change from control and t-test probability. Special program features allow for flexibility in experimental protocol design, user-defined default program options, and automatic result storage on disk for subsequent archiving purposes.
