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 High Content Screening (HCS) Assay
Short Description
HepG2-cell based In Vitro High Content Screening (HCS) Assay
Assay Description
HCS is one of the latest techniques used in cancer drug discovery programs. Unlike traditional HTS platforms, HCS provides more visual information about the experiment being conducted. HCS is a very powerful tool for multivariate and quantitative data analysis. Cellbased HCS systems have also gained much attention in biological research and cancer drug discovery programs.
