Target Cell Name
BxPC3
Target Cell Organism
Human
Target Cell Background
BxPC-3 is a cell line exhibiting epithelial morphology that was isolated from the pancreas tissue of a 61-year-old, female patient with adenocarcinoma. This cell line can be used in cancer research.

Assay Name
In Vitro PI Assay (Cell Viability)
Short Description
BxPC3-cell based In Vitro PI Assay (Cell Viability)
Assay Description
Propidium iodide (PI) is another dye that can be used to distinguish viable and non-viable cells. PI can only bind with DNA of cells with damaged cell membranes and it cannot enter viable cells. Uptake of PI into cells can be monitored by flow cytometry (FCM) or fluorescence microscopy.
Assay Alternative Names
Propidium Iodide 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.
