Human
Target Cell Background
The Jurkat cell line (originally called JM) was established in the mid-1970s from the peripheral blood of a 14-year-old boy with T cell leukemia. Different derivatives of the Jurkat cell line have been mutated to lack certain genes.

In Vitro Ethidium Homodimer Assay (Cell Viability)
Short Description
Jurkat-cell based In Vitro Ethidium Homodimer Assay (Cell Viability)
Assay Description
Ethidium homodimer assay is another cell viability assay, which can be used to detect dead cells. Ethidium homodimer can pene trate through the cell membrane and gives red fluorescence upon binding with DNA of dead cells.
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.
