C2BBe1
Target Cell Organism
Human
Target Cell Background
The C2BBe1 (brush border expressing) cell line was cloned in 1988 from the Caco-2 cell line by limiting dilution. The clone was selected on the basis of morphological homogeneity and exclusive apical villin localization.

Short Description
C2BBe1-cell based In Vitro Ethidium Homodimer Assay (Cell Viability)
Assay Description
Ethidium homodimer assay is another cell viability assay, which can be used to detect dead cells. Ethidium homodimer can penetrate through the cell membrane and gives red fluorescence upon binding with DNA of dead cells.
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.
