Target Cell Background
Jurkat, Clone E6-1 is a clone of the Jurkat-FHCRC cell line, a derivative of the Jurkat cell line, which was established from the peripheral blood of a 14-year-old, male, acute T-cell leukemia patient. This cell line can be used in immune system disorder research and immunology and immuno-oncology research.

Assay Name
In Vitro WST Assay (Cell Viability)
Short Description
Jurkat-Clone E6-1-cell based In Vitro WST Assay (Cell Viability)
Assay Description
Apart from the MTT tetrazolium, other tetrazolium compounds such as WST (reagent series) can also gener ate formazan upon reduction by oxidoreductase or dehydrogenase. Unlike the normal MTT assay, assays with these regents (MTS, XTT and WST) do not require formazan solubiliza tion step as solubilization occurs in the cell medium itself. Therefore, XTT, WST and MTS reagents can be used to assay viability of cells, which do not require a surface to attach.
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.
