Short Description
A549-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.
Assay Alternative Names
Sulforhodamine B Assay
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.
