FaDu
Target Cell Organism
Human
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 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 pene trate 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.
