Hello,
I would like to ask which is the best terminology to use for describing a negative control in an experiment (drug testing in-vitro, viral infection): NC (negative control) or NTC?
Thank you for being so helpful.
Also, I recently saw several articles use the term naive to describe the negative control for non-infected animals.
You can use either of NT or NTC as long as you know what you mean by NT or NTC in your experiment. In fact you can use any other means of identification othar than NT or NTC to identify your negative control.

I appreciate your answer. As far as I know, NTC stands for non-template control in PCR. However, seevral papers used the term NTC for negative control, which is why I got a bit confused. As you said, using NC is the way.
