Abstract
A method of interacting a drug with an in vivo system having multiple cell types to model a drug interaction with a living organism in a cell culture tool having a flat plate segregated into multiple chamber units, each of the chamber units having a chamber wall surrounding multiple wells with the height of the chamber wall being taller than that of the height of the surrounded multiple wells, including depositing a different cell type in the set of wells in each chamber, adding a fluid medium to a height above the flat surface to fluidly interconnect the set of wells in each chamber and adding the drug to the fluid medium in each chamber, the dose and type of the drug being varied in each chamber.
Claims16
A method of interacting a drug with more than one type of cell material in a culture dish having a flat surface with a plurality of depressions defining wells, and a containing wall surrounding the flat surface, the method comprising:
- depositing different cell types in separate wells of the culture dish;
- adding a fluid medium to a height above the flat surface to fluidly interconnect the wells;
- and
- adding the drug to the fluid medium.
A method of metabolizing a drug in a cell culture tray having six wells surrounded by a containing wall, the method comprising:
- depositing a first cell type in a first well, a second cell type in a second well, a third cell type in a third well, a fourth cell type in a fourth well, a fifth cell type in a fifth well, and a sixth cell type in a sixth well;
- overfilling the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth well to cause the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth cell type to interact via a common fluid medium;
- and
- introducing the drug into the common fluid medium.
A method of interacting a drug with an in vivo system having multiple cell types to model a drug interaction with a living organism in a cell culture tool having a flat plate segregated into multiple chamber units, each of the chamber units having a chamber wall surrounding multiple wells with the height of the chamber wall being taller than that of the height of the surrounded multiple wells, the method comprising:
- depositing a different cell type in the set of wells in each chamber;
- adding a fluid medium to a height above the flat surface to fluidly interconnect the set of wells in each chamber;
- and
- adding the drug to the fluid medium in each chamber, the dose and type of the drug being varied in each chamber.
