Abstract
High Throughput Screening (HTS) is the process of testing large numbers molecules for their effect on model biological systems. These targets can be roughly divided into two classes; whole cell assays and biochemical assays. In an arena where hundreds of thousands of compounds are tested in a few months, the robustness, ease, and relevance of an assay become increasingly critical to success. A long standing question in the field has been the relative utility and merit of using mammalian cells as targets in HTS.
