Mouse
Target Cell Background
4T1 is a breast cancer cell line derived from the mammary gland tissue of a mouse BALB/c strain. 4T1 cells are epithelial and are resistant to 6-thioguanine. In preclinical research, 4T1 cells have been used to study breast cancer metastasis as they can metastasize to the lung, liver, lymph nodes, brain and bone.

Short Description
4T1-cell based In Vitro SRB Assay (Cell Viability)
Assay Description
The sulforhodamine B is another common colorimetric assay that is used to investigate viability of cancer cells. The dye SRB can bind with proteins in viable cells under mild acidic conditions, and the bound dye is finally solubilized to get absorbance at 500-540 nm.
