Assay Name
In Vitro BrdU Assay (Cell Proliferation)
Short Description
CAL 27-cell based In Vitro BrdU Assay (Cell Proliferation)
Assay Description
5-Bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) assay is another methodological approach used to determine cell proliferation. BrdU incorporated into synthesized DNA can be determined using BrdU-specific monoclonal antibody. A secondary antibody is used to generate fluorescent sig nal on DNA synthesis.
Assay Alternative Names
5-Bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) 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.
