Target Cell Background
B16F10 cell line (from Mus musculus C57BL/6J strain) is a convenient and widely used experimental model of highly metastatic melanoma to study cytotoxicity, migration, metastatic spread and tissue invasion. B16-F10 is a cell line exhibiting a morphology of spindle-shaped and epithelial-like cells that was isolated from skin tissue of a mouse with melanoma. Use these cells in your skin cancer research.

Short Description
B16F10-cell based In Vitro Mitotic Index Assay (Cell Proliferation)
Assay Description
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.
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.
