Hbl-2 In Vitro XTT Assay (Cell Viability)

This assay is to provide Hbl-2-based In Vitro XTT 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 XTT Assay (Cell Viability)

Apart from the MTT tetrazolium, other tetrazolium compounds such as XTT (2,3-bis (2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide) can also gener ate formazan upon reduction by oxidoreductase or dehydrogenase. Unlike the normal MTT assay, assays with these regents (MTS, XTT and WST) do not require formazan solubiliza tion step as solubilization occurs in the cell medium itself. Therefore, XTT, WST and MTS reagents can be used to assay viability of cells, which do not require a surface to attach.

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.
