FaDu

Human

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.

FaDu-cell based In Vitro MTT Assay (Cell Viability)

The MTT (3-(4,5-dimeth ylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay is one of most commonly used assays for cancer drug screening. This assay has been very popular among cancer researchers as an initial assay in drug discovery. NAD(P)H-dependent oxidoreductase or dehydrogenases in viable cells can reduce MTT into purple-colored formazan, which can then be solubilized for spectrophotometric analysis.

Cell Viability/Cytotoxicity and Antiproliferative Assays

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.
