CalcuSyn analysis of VX-950 and IFN-α combination
Ratio (VX-950:IFN-α)a | Combination indexb:
|
||
---|---|---|---|
At IC50 | At IC75 | At IC90 | |
1:100 | 1.24 | 0.73 | 0.56 |
3:100 | 0.74 | 0.53 | 0.53 |
9:100 | 0.77 | 0.58 | 0.61 |
27:100 | 0.67 | 0.61 | 0.68 |
In each ratio, three to four different combinations of VX-950 and IFN-α were included. For example, the 1:100 ratio includes VX-950 plus IFN-α at 0.037 μM plus 3.7 U/ml, 0.11 μM plus 11.1 U/ml, 0.33 μM plus 33.3 U/ml, and 1.0 μM plus 100 U/ml.
IC50s, IC75s, or IC90s are concentrations of the compounds that achieve 50%, 75%, or 90% inhibition, respectively. The values of the combination index at various percentages of inhibition were calculated using the CalcuSyn program as described in Materials and Methods.
