In fact, I have tried to use this assy on goat's PBMC cultured for 2 days, but it did not work.
I've used it for mammalian cells, hepatic, ovarian, intestinal and it works correctly

Hi,
In our studies toxicity evaluations were performed using HBE cells and two cytotoxicity assays instead of just one. This is because certain chemicals have been reported to give divergent results in different toxicity tests including the NRU and MTT assays (Olivier et al 1995; Chiba et al 1998). Besides, Evans et al (2001) have recently found that in some cases one of the NRU or MTT assays can be more sensitive in detecting the toxicity of non-viral transfection reagents.
