title: Simple method for measuring growth inhibition by interferon of cells in monolayer.
abstract: A method for determining cell growth inhibition by interferon based on a dye uptake and dilution technique is described. The results of this technique are comparable to cell counting and measurement of 3H-TdR incorporation, but the technique is easier and more rapid to perform.
