Target Cell Name
Caco-2
Target Cell Organism
Human
Target Cell Background
Caco-2 [Caco2] are epithelial cells isolated from colon tissue derived from a 72-year-old, White, male with colorectal adenocarcinoma. This cell line is a suitable transfection host and has applications in cancer and toxicology research.
Target Cell Alternative Name
Caco2
Related Diseases
Colorectal Adenocarcinoma; Colon Cancer
Research Area
Oncology
Assay Name
In Vitro LDH Assay (Cell Viability)
Short Description
Caco-2-cell based In Vitro LDH Assay (Cell Viability)
Assay Description
Lactate dehydrogenase leakage assay (LDH assay) can also be used to determine viability of cancer cells. Upon treatment with a testing drug, if the drug can rupture the cell membrane, cells release LDH to the culture medium and released LDH can be quantified.
Assay Alternative Names
Lactate Dehydrogenase Leakage 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.
