Target Cell Name
A-431
Target Cell Organism
Human
Target Cell Background
A-431 is a cell line exhibiting epithelial morphology that was isolated from the epidermis of an 85-year-old female patient with epidermoid carcinoma. This cell line is one of a series of cell lines established from solid tumors by D.J. Giard, et al. and can be used in cancer, toxicology, and immuno-oncology research.

In Vitro 7-Aminoactinomycin D Assay (Cell Viability)
Short Description
A-431-cell based In Vitro 7-Aminoactinomycin D Assay (Cell Viability)
Assay Description
7-Aminoactinomycin D is a fluo rescent dye that can also be used to detect viable/non-viable cells (excluded by viable cells) by fluorescence microscopy and FCM.
Assay Type
Cell Viability/Cytotoxicity and Antiproliferative Assays
Assay Type Details
Uncontrolled proliferation is one of the main features of cancer cells. Cell-based in vitro assays are employed to determine whether test molecules possess direct cytotoxic/antiproliferative effects in cancer cells.
