Target Cell Background
FaDu is a cell line with epithelial morphology that was established in 1968 from a punch biopsy of a hypopharyngeal tumor removed from a 56-year-old, White, male patient with squamous cell carcinoma. This cell line is a suitable transfection host and has applications in cancer and immuno-oncology research.

Short Description
FaDu-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.
