B16F10

Mouse

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.

B16F10-cell based In Vitro TRAP Assay (Senescence)

The telomerase repeated amplification protocol (TRAP) assay is one of the common PCR-based assays used to detect telomerase activity in cells.

Cellular Senescence in Cancer Assays

Cell senescence is described as an irreversible physiological event of cell growth arrest, which is known to be caused by alterations of telomeres, oxidative stress, DNA damage and some oncogenes. Inhibition of the program of senescence is one of the main features of tumor cells and it has been reported that cancer cells can be induced to undergo senescence by chemo- and radiotherapies and genetic alterations. Telomeres help to prevent uncontrolled cell proliferation and the absence of telomeres results in aneuploidy and cell death.
