What are the Key Features of Quantal Dose Response Curves?
Quantal dose response curves are typically sigmoidal in shape, indicating that at low doses, few individuals respond, but as the dose increases, the proportion of responders also increases until it plateaus at a maximum response. Important features of these curves include the threshold dose, below which no effect is observed, and the median effective dose (ED50), which provides a central measure of the dose-response relationship.
