Hep 3B

Human

Hep 3B is a cell line exhibiting epithelial morphology that was isolated from liver tissue derived from an 8-year-old, Black youth with liver cancer. This cell line contains an integrated hepatitis B virus genome.

In Vitro MTT Assay (Cell Viability)

Hep 3B-cell based In Vitro MTT Assay (Cell Viability)

The MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay is one of most commonly used assays for cancer drug screening. This assay has been very popular among cancer researchers as an initial assay in drug discovery. NAD(P)H-dependent oxidoreductase or dehydrogenases in viable cells can reduce MTT into purple-colored formazan, which can then be solubilized for spectrophotometric analysis.

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.
