Title:
REGULARLY ARRANGED SPHEROIDS HAVING UNIFORM SIZE, AND USE THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/150366
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention addresses the problem of providing a screening method for accurately evaluating a large quantity of candidate compounds, which uses a group of spheroids that are uniform in size and position. This screening method for substances which affect spheroid formation includes: a step (1) in which cells are seeded in a density effective for spheroid formation, in a plate (a well plate) having, regularly arranged therein, a plurality of wells each having a U-shaped bottom exhibiting low adsorptivity, and the cells are cultured in the plurality of wells; a step (2) in which the cells are brought into contact with test substances; and a step (3) in which it is observed whether the cells which have been brought into contact with the test substances form spheroids, and the effect of the test substances on spheroid formation is evaluated using the obtained observation results as an index.
