A-431

Human

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 Mitotic Index Assay (Cell Proliferation)

A-431-cell based In Vitro Mitotic Index Assay (Cell Proliferation)

Mitotic index assay is one of the old assays used to determine the number of cells that are undergoing mitosis in a specified cell population using monoclonal antibodies specific for phosphorylated histone H3 (ser28). Phosphorylated histone H3 (ser28) is considered as a main marker for mitosis and this specific phosphorylation can be utilized to calculate the mitotic index in a specified cell population.

Cell Viability/Cytotoxicity and Antiproliferative Assays

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.
