Target Cell Background
Glioma 261 (GL261) is a frequently used murine glioma model. It was induced via intracranial injection of methylcholanthrene followed by serial intracranial and subcutaneous transplantations of tumor fragments into syngeneic C57BL/6 mice. By the mid-1990s, multiple groups had established a permanent cell line from the tumor.

Short Description
GL261-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 penetrate 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.
