I've been going through papers that report cell viability, cell toxicity, etc. and everyone seems to be split on either presenting their data as absolute absorbance numbers or percent control. Is it more appropriate to use one or the other?
Great question! I have been wondering the same thing myself. I have found that most data related to MTT is reported as percent control, however I have just received a reviewer comment on my paper stating it should be reported in absolute number :/
