Hbl-2 In Vitro PI Assay (Cell Viability)

This assay is to provide Hbl-2-based In Vitro PI Assay (Cell Viability) to accelerate our client's oncology projects. The assay will be customized according to the specific requirements. Please contact our scientists to discuss more details.

Hbl-2

Human

The HBL-2 cell line is derived from an AIDS-SNCCL (AIDS-associated small non-cleaved cell lymphoma) patient. After immunophenotypic and molecular genetic analysis, the HBL-2 was established from the original tumor clones. The HBL-2 cell line presents surface immunoglobulin and B-cell restricted markers as well as a phenotype consistent with SNCCL; the cell line also displays clonal immunoglobulin gene rearrangement. The HBL-2 cell line is considered useful as a biological model to study AIDS-associated non-Hodgkin lymphomagenesis (AIDS-NHL) and the impacts of biological, immunological, and viral factors involved.

In Vitro PI Assay (Cell Viability)

Propidium iodide (PI) is another dye that can be used to distinguish viable and non-viable cells. PI can only bind with DNA of cells with damaged cell membranes and it cannot enter viable cells. Uptake of PI into cells can be monitored by flow cytometry (FCM) or fluorescence microscopy.

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.
