Target Cell Name
HPB-ALL
Target Cell Organism
Human
Target Cell Background
Established from the peripheral blood of a 14-year-old Japanese boy with ALL and thymoma at diagnosis in 1973.
Related Diseases
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia; ALL
Research Area
Oncology
Assay Name
In Vitro BrdU Assay (Cell Proliferation)
Short Description
HPB-ALL-cell based In Vitro BrdU Assay (Cell Proliferation)
Assay Description
5-Bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) assay is another methodological approach used to determine cell proliferation. BrdU incorporated into synthesized DNA can be determined using BrdU-specific monoclonal antibody. A secondary antibody is used to generate fluorescent sig nal on DNA synthesis.
Assay Alternative Names
5-Bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) 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.
