Target Cell Name
HepG2
Target Cell Organism
Human
Target Cell Background
Hep G2 is an immortal cell line which was derived in 1975 from the liver tissue of a 15-year-old Caucasian male from Argentina with a well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma. These cells are epithelial in morphology, have a modal chromosome number of 55, and are not tumorigenic in nude mice.
Target Cell Alternative Name
Hep G2
Related Diseases
Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Research Area
Oncology
Assay Name
In Vitro 7-Aminoactinomycin D Assay (Cell Viability)
Short Description
HepG2-cell based In Vitro 7-Aminoactinomycin D Assay (Cell Viability)
Assay Description
7-Aminoactinomycin D is a fluorescent dye that can also be used to detect viable/non-viable cells (excluded by viable cells) by fluorescence microscopy and FCM.
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.
