Abstract

Methods of identifying whether a biologically active agent affects an oncogene addicted pathway within a cancer cell, by introducing a biologically active agent suspected of affecting an oncogene addicted pathway to a first well and a negative control to a second well, and introducing a stimulating agent that stimulates the oncogene addicted pathway to both wells; monitoring cell-substrate impedance of the two wells and optionally determining cell indices from impedance values; generating an impedance based curve for each of the two wells from the impedance values or from the cell indices; comparing the impedance-based curves to determine a degree of similarity; and if significantly different concluding the biologically active agent affects the oncogene addicted pathway within the cancer cells.
