Target Cell Name
HeLa
Target Cell Organism
Human
Target Cell Background
In 1952, HeLa cells became the first human cell line that could grow and divide endlessly in a laboratory, leading scientists to label these cells "immortal". The immortality of HeLa cells contributed to their adoption across the world as the human cell line of choice for biomedical research.

In Vitro LDH Assay (Cell Viability)
Short Description
HeLa-cell based In Vitro LDH Assay (Cell Viability)
Assay Description
Lactate dehydrogenase leakage assay (LDH assay) can also be used to determine viability of cancer cells. Upon treatment with a testing drug, if the drug can rupture the cell membrane, cells release LDH to the culture medium and released LDH can be quantified.
Assay Alternative Names
Lactate Dehydrogenase Leakage Assay
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.
