Reactivity Grading Scale

Grade

Reactivity

Conditions of All Cultures

0

None

No cell lysis, intracytoplasmic granules.

1

Slight

Less than or equal to 20% rounding, occasional lysed cells.

2

Mild

Greater than 20% to less than or equal to 50% rounding, no extensive cell lysis.

3

Moderate

Greater than 50% to less than 70% rounding and lysed cells.

4

Severe

Nearly complete destruction of the cell layers.

Conclusion: No cytotoxicity at 1:4 dilution (Grade 0).

All controls valid & Test accepted.
