Target Cell Name
GL261
Target Cell Organism
Mouse
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.

Assay Name
In Vitro Evans Blue Assay (Cell Viability)
Short Description
GL261-cell based In Vitro Evans Blue Assay (Cell Viability)
Assay Description
The dye Evans blue has also been used in cell viability assays based on its ability to cross non-viable cell membranes.
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.
