I observed this phenomena with different cell lines and anticancer agents. To be specific for example, when A549 cells were treated with same concentration of taxol, less cells die if the cells were seeded in a 25cm2 or 75 cm2 flask compared to the cells seeded into 96 well plates (microscopic observation). Ratio of the seeded cell number to the surface area was the same, but the result did not change. Does anyone have an idea what might cause this?
