Table 3.

Model validation demonstrates identifiability of subpopulation compositions: Measured versus two population model estimated parameters indicate the model’s ability to reveal the known proportions of the MCF-7/ADR resistant cell line mixed with the wild-type MCF-7 cell line.

“Measured” LD50 values and slopes indicate the LD50 and slope of the isolated pure MCF-7/ADR cells and pure wild-type MCF-7 cells fit to the single static population model. Measured resistant fractions are measured precisely using the Nexcelom fluorescence imaging counter of the number of green fluorescent wild-type MCF-7 compared to the total number of brightfield cells counted.
